Bimbo Ademoye Debunks Claim Of Using Emotional Tactics For Movie Promotion 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Nollywood actress and movie producer Bimbo Ademoye, has quashed the claims that her movie promotion strategy is solely based on emotional tactics.

The actress' clarification came after she had previously shared a video expressing her frustration over challenges faced in uploading her recent movie 'Mirrors and Reflection.'

However, this did not sit down well with Damola, a critic, who accused her of embracing emotional tactics in order to promote her movie.

“Bimbo Ademoye dropping a video with puffy red eyes on her film’s release day, talking about how the devil is trying to test her. The script is so tiring at this point."

Responding to him, Ademoye emphasized that she indeed faces challenges, disregarding the claim of using emotions as part of her strategy.

She pointed out the support of her fans, who wait unendingly for the release of her movie, stressing that she cannot put up a show just to gain sympathy.

According to her, the course of her producing career has been filled with several challenges, yet she has immersed herself in dedication to her craft, warning the troll to desist from making such unfounded claims against her.

"Don’t do that. Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail? Do you think I just pick people’s pictures and merge them? I organise proper photoshoots. I still pay for thumbnails and posters, only for someone to steal my hard work. Then someone says this is a strategy. What bloody strategy?”

"I have people who sacrifice their time and energy for me. Nobody sleeps. So you now think the way I would promote my film is to cry?”

"There was a restriction on Ruse that we had to call Google to resolve. I didn’t come online to complain; I handled it myself. Then ‘Fame and Fury’ and ‘Homecoming’ went well. Even with ‘Broken Hallelujah’, I went through a lot, but I didn’t come online to cry."

"I was supposed to produce six movies last year, but I only did four due to certain challenges. This is not unnecessary, because it’s only a matter of time before people start to believe that I come online to seek pity. I am a very strong woman; I don’t need pity.

“I do all of this to give my best, so do you think I would use tears to water down everything I’ve been through? Be careful.”
