Veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva gives clarification on why she does not see movies shooting happen in her house at any point in time. She made this known during a youth development forum ‘The Roundtable Lekki’. According to the thespian, shooting movies involve a large number of people; one which she wouldn’t; want in her space. Joke Silva emphasized the significance of having studios and sound stages in Nollywood, which would provide suitable environments for filming movies. Joke Silva on why movies can’t be shot in her house “We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen. “I know the number of people that are brought into a shoot. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things. “We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world. The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom. All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace.” Effect of streaming platforms on Nollywood “Streaming platforms have made it easier for producers to be able to exhibit their works. Technology has done that for us. There is a wide range of opportunities right now when it comes to movie distributions. Streaming platforms help us connect to a global audience.”

Speed Darlington

Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington who is known for his controversial views opines that it is more advisable to rent than to acquire a house in a location that is not one’s homeland. According to him, owning a house in a different state or region would limit a person’s ability to relocate quickly in case of unforeseen circumstances. He suggested that renting a home as a non-native resident would be a more appropriate option than buying land. In a video posted on his TikTok page, Speed Darlington argued that owning a house in a foreign location would impede one’s freedom. Speed Darlington on why renting a house is better than buying “It’s better to rent than to buy houses, especially in another man’s land. “If you buy a house, over time it [the place] gets crowded. [And] maybe you decide, I don’t like here anymore, e don cast; everybody know where I live now, I want to move to other part of the state or other part of the country. “You can’t just pack your things and go. First, you need to sell that house. Only God knows when you are going to sell because not everybody has money to buy a house. “So, now you are stuck at this address, and you can’t leave. Freedom is an asset. “Freedom, the ability to pack up and disappear anytime. But if you rent, you can pack up and leave anytime.”
