We have seen both Rita Dominic's video and another of a coalition including Omoni Oboli, Segun Arinze, Ramsey Nouah and Monalisa Chinda, titled Celebrities for GEJ. Now, John Okafor known as Mr Ibu has slammed them all under the Actors Guild of Nigeria,  calling their leaders sycophants who chase after politicians for favours. The comedic Nollywood actor spoke his mind in a new interview with ThisDay Newspapers.

“Nollywood is suffering from so many problems. One of these problems is the sycophancy from the industry’s leaders, the people in power. I mean the people running the industry are just running after politicians.

“Nollywood as a whole don’t have good leaders. All they do is attach themselves to politicians and seek for political office instead of restructuring the industry. We don’t even have a standard office; we are not united and we are not financially structured. You can ask the upcoming stars how they cope; they will tell you the truth of what they pass through to have a role in a movie, especially the ladies. Some of them have abandoned their education to become movie makers. Our leaders are just using and dumping. I mean they are just using the upcoming artistes to act movies and achieve their aims. Sometimes they feature them in their movies without paying them.
