Nigerian Actors Destroyed Ghanaian Movie Industry - Miracle Films CEO

Samuel Nyamekye has blamed Nigerian actors for the downfall of the Ghanaian movie industry.

The Chief Executive Officer of Miracle Films Productions revealed that the presence of too many Nigerian performers spoilt Ghanaian movies.

According to the veteran producer, he is to blame for the occurrence because it was his decision to introduce Nigerian actors to Ghanaian movies in the first place; a decision which he has now admitted to have backfired.

He explained that his initial plan was to make Ghanaian movies popular in Nigeria by making their actors feature in the movies.

When Nigerian producers saw what he was doing, however, they changed it on him by moving to Ghanaians to produce their own movies, hence destroying his plan.

Samuel then accused Nigerian producers of coming to Ghana with the sole aim of destroying the movie industry for their own benefit.

“I decided to bring the Nigerian artistes to join the Ghanaian actors so we can get a collaboration. The idea was so we can benefit from Nigeria but that idea failed because you can’t compete with Nigeria. They have the population and they have money, resources.”

He confessed that he realised he could not compete with them due to their financial might.

“They said if Nyamekye has come to Nigeria then let’s also go Ghana. So they came purposely to the Ghanaian movie industry to collapse it."

"They came to take over our market because if you see Nigerian actors in Ghanaian movies that’s the same thing you will see in theirs. It got to a time they could release more than 50 movies. And even 10 movies were capable of sinking Miracle Films.” He concluded.
