Actress Jemima Osunde And Enioluwa Reply X User Asking For Fresh Faces In Nollywood

Popular Nigerian actress, Jemima Osunde and influencer, Enioluwa Adeoluwa have addressed a critic who expressed displeasure over the repetition of the same actors in movies.

A disgruntled viewer expressed exhaustion with seeing the same faces, citing Adedimeji Lateef’s upcoming film, Lisabi, and Bimbo Ademoye’s new project.

The user wrote;

''I'm sincerely tired of seeing the same faces in this damn industry''.

Jemima Osunde responded with a harsh but witty remark:

“We’re tired of seeing your face too in your office. Dan! I hope they sack you.”

Enioluwa Adeoluwa offered a more nuanced explanation:

He highlighted the economic realities limiting Nollywood’s capacity to introduce new talent:

“People often say they’re tired of seeing the same faces in Nigerian films. However, unlike in Hollywood, actors in Nigeria can’t afford to do just one film a year— how much are they paying. The industry currently can’t support as many newcomers as people might expect because, realistically, many of them wouldn’t be able to meet even their basic needs. No one wants to be famous and financially unstable,”
