Reality TV personality and Nollywood actor Pere Egbi has provoked controversy within the Nigerian entertainment sector after asserting that South African filmmakers surpass their Nigerian counterparts in terms of production standards and quality.
In a recent post on his X page, Pere emphasized the advancements in sound design, cinematography, and overall production value made by the South African film industry. Nollywood still lags behind in areas of technical expertise and industry organization, he claims, despite its widespread reputation and enormous output.
He asserts in his post on social media that South Africans are much ahead of their Nollywood counterparts in terms of narrative telling, filmmaking, work ethics, and other areas.
“No offense to my Nollywood colleagues, but you see South Africa, they are ahead of us o when it comes to film production, storytelling, filmmaking, work ethics, name it. They are ahead. We need to collaborate!” Pere wrote on his official X page.
