According to well-known actor Charles Inojie, the problems in society shouldn’t be attributed on the Nigerian film industry.

According to Inojie, who made this statement in an interview with Saturday Beat, parents must teach their children to appreciate family by reorienting them to the fact that temporary solutions almost always result in disaster.

He claimed that rather than being produced by the industry, Nollywood films are exposing social evils including organ harvesting, ritual murders, spiritual fortification, and online fraud.

While reacting to the criticism faced by the industry, the actor stated: “Can we in good faith say that all Nollywood movies are draw from ritual themes?

“The fact that those stories exist is an indication of the fact that ritual killings for spiritual fortification, for political power, for money making and organ harvesting exist in our society.

“So, we should applaud those movies for their expository qualities, instead of condemning them. Have you not heard of pastors burying human bodies under their pulpits for spiritual powers, or highly influential men hiding under the cover of night to sleep with mad women for ritual purposes? How come when it is being addressed in movies, it automatically receive criticisms from the public?

“We have seen parents giving their under aged and unemployed wards a rousing reception to celebrate their return home with cars without asking how they got it. Nollywood did not create any of that. We should return to instilling family values, and start to reorient the younger generation to understand the true meaning of dignity in labour and teach our kids to know that quick fixes often end in catastrophe. Nollywood is not our problem.”
