Veteran Nollywood actor, Charles Inojie, has slammed those criticizing the Nollywood industry for their show of ritual killings and vices.

According to the actor, most Nollywood movies are drawn from ritual themes. He stressed that many of the ritual movies are drawn from the fact that ritual killings are rampant in the society, and the society is expected to appreciate the efforts of the actors in exposing and condemning ritual actions.

Speaking during a recent interview with Saturday Beat, Charles Inojie said:

“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."
