Ghanaian actor, Kobby Acheampong explains the reason why the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood is far ahead of Ghana\u2019s industry.<\/p>\n
He made these statements in an interview with Nana Osei Kesse, aka Mr Bonez on Music Plus show on Kessben Television. Moreover, he stated that most Ghanaian Filmmakers are scared to take big risks with regards to movie production.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem I have realised is that Ghanaians (producers) hate taking risks. A Nigerian will take a risk and that risk will a yield good result.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, he stated that when a Ghanaian producer invest money in a movie and that movie fails to sell. Then the person gives up easily.<\/p>\n
Also, he disagreed with the notion that the Ghanaian movie industry is dead. However, he admitted that the industry is seriously struggling.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he was hopeful that with the help of more investors and a little government support the Ghana movie industry will be as vibrant as that of Hollywood and Bollywood.<\/p>\n
