The ace film star and producer addressed issues of drug abuse and homosexuality in Nollywood.

“Many girls are desperate to act. You don’t come to Nollywood to learn how to act. Acting is natural. If it’s not in you, go and sell crayfish,” he said.

“For men who have unnatural… When I say unnatural in law, you should understand it to be when man dey sleep with man and all those things. (E dey happen for the industry?) Of course.

“Are you aware most artistes are on drugs?

“… let us run some people out of the [movie] industry. I want a situation where at 70, 75, 80, 90, I will still be acting.”
