Ask them how much. If you’ve seen a Ghanaian home video recently, you’d understand why. Vivid images, half naked bodies, huge breasts and behinds, horny men and women(maybe cameramen and directors)and intense foreplay are on display for much of the movie…Truth be told, half the slimy lot of you buy these movies, why? Because it’s justifiable porn! Yep. I said it.
Picture this, your mum walks in and sees lips sucking the life, sometimes milk, out of a nipple, she screams, Oh my God, you’re watching porn! And then you give her the well- rehearsed answer: Ah, mummy! No o! I’m not o! it’s these Ghanaians, see the nonsense they’re doing! I didn’t even know about it until they started. May God forgive them! Your mum’s nerves calm down, your erection is intact- talk about a win, win!
At some point, Nollywood was way more popular than the Ghanaian industry (Ghollywood?) But, I’m guessing a couple of smart albeit sleazy geniuses sat at a table and figured it out, sex! That’s it! Sell sex! They scream eureka, set their plans in motion and now Ghanaian movies (and naked bodies) are everywhere. One can only watch with masked horror as Ghanaian movies defy border restrictions and pour in numbers, their actors(lucky, well-paid mofos) are now every girl’s fantasy(except my girlfriend, of course, don’t know about yours though). The actresses and their nude bodies are imprinted in the minds of every guy who sees the movie and then they wonder; why can’t Omotola do this? After all she calls herself sexy (not my thoughts, theirs). What’s going to be done about it? Ask the Ghanaian Movie Censors Board, that’s if they find time to peel their eyes of their TV screens.
Nigerian movies like always are still immensely popular, within and without, but soon the industry’s popularity could be threatened on the long run. It’s an open secret that the Nigerian culture and society has an antipathy towards sex and things.
When Omotola did The Prostitute, Oh my! She heard shege! When Shan George did Outcast, she very much became the female Lucifer. So we can’t compete on that level, even if we wanted to, it’s disturbing to imagine Pete Edochie doing it with Patience Ozokwor or Justus Esiri getting down with Racheal Oniga!
Since we can’t sell sex and they can, what will happen? They’ll win chikena. Unless we do some Oscar worthy stuff that is. Did I hear someone say yeah right?

ReplyDeleteProstitution is an old profession and has existed throughout history. As long as there is demand for prostitution, prostitutes will keep on supplying the demand. The problems is there will always be demand for prostitution as did in our past history.
