Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, has lambasted filmmakers for failing to showcase Nigeria's culture in movies.

According to Basketmouth, many recently released epic movies were a great avenue to expose Nigeria's rich culture, but many filmmakers failed to leverage on it.

Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, he, however, stressed that he hopes other movies can showcase the country's culture, because only few movies have impressed him so far in their display of the Nigerian culture.

Basketmouth said:
"I believe that we still have the opportunity to get it right. But we had a great opportunity to showcase our culture and most of the filmmakers blew it up. They just ruined that great chance because I see epic movies and they look like stage plays.

“When I was seeing most of the epic movies, I was disappointed.

“You guys blew up a great opportunity but let’s hope we still have another chance to strike at it."

" I’m sorry, only very few movies have impressed me so far. I believe that we can do more.”
