The veteran Nollywood actor Paul Obazele in a recent interview opened up on how lesbians and
gay producers have dominated the entertainment industry.
According
to Punch, the veteran actor and one time president of the Nigerian
Association of Movie Producers disclosed that during his reign he tried
his best to fight against them but when he left, things went back to the
way they were.
He did not stop there but
further disclosed that he is ready to mention names and doesn’t care
about the consequences. He added that he is ready to fight anybody who
confronts him.
Obazele said: “I would not lie, we have gay producers and lesbians in
the Nigerian entertainment industry and they are the people in control.
Why are we hiding it? When I was president of the Association of Movie
Producers, I was against them. Why are we pretending that it does not
happen? The same way it happens in Nollywood is the same way it happens
in the medical field and other fields. The truth be told, it happens
across the board. If you mention the names of some producers, I would
gladly tell you if they are gay or not; they cannot do anything to me.
If they bring a war to me, I would take it to their doorsteps. I do not
give into gossips but I have got to a place in my life when some
unsolicited pieces of information come to me. They must tell me. I am an
elder in this industry and that is why I said if you mention names, I
would tell you if the person is gay or not. It does not elude us; it
happens within our rank and file. But like I always say, s*x is not the
ultimate step to attaining success, it is hard work.”
