Reactions as AY complains about men’s support
Check out some of the reactions as AY laments about the lack of support for the male filmmakers in Nollywood below:
@naija.blood:
“A good market sells itself. Everyone is talking about Seven Doors and it’s cast. Though I won’t watch it cos I don’t understand Yoruba and I hate reading subtitles, but I believe Femi Adebayo did a good job to get such accolades. So, bros AY, if your movie sweet, relax your mind. BUT if e no sweet, no amount of promo and cry cry go make people watch am.”
@gloriaakindemowo:
“Stop generalizing what is peculiar you. Nothing comes from nothing. Femi Adebayo, Kunle Afolayan, and a host others will not agree with this your self-imposed loneliness. Work on your PR.”
@0lamide_praise:
“AY wey don fuckk up for Merry Men wan push us go watch this one? Give us a good reason to man. And that Odunade better not produce a cinema movie again, make e dey put am for YouTube cos nah always rubbish e dey do.”
@kingsleyben36:
“You are busy showcasing another man ex-wife and you think men are proud of you? Oga you lie.”
@symply_beautiana:
“Abeg AY rest. How many women get the kind money wey men get for this country. See music industry, comedy, big companies, na men full am. The small privilege wey women dey enjoy, you won still comot am for their hand.”
@lucky_dubeson:
“Coming from person that has never supported Yul even when he’s still with his wife. But steadily supported his wife May especially since the issue with her husband.”
