Jim Iyke says ban of A-List actors in 2004 affected Nollywood negatively
In this interview with Pulse, he said:
“To think you have enough power to ban someone and totally shut down what they stand for, what they are gifted with, the joy they bring to themselves, not only as a challenge and a responsibility, but to the world in general, is downright evil. And they paid for it drastically, if you ask me.”
Then he adds:
“The gap is still felt till tomorrow. They have not been able to fill it, I dare say. And it has brought a general decline in the general prosperity of Nollywood as well.”
