@OrionKingStar1 said:
“Well done for speaking up! I can also bet my house on it that it was the editor in Nigeria who is used to carelessly using clips without asking the necessary questions about copyright infringement that would have done this. Now Omoni must sadly address this asap.”
@sassonthebeat stated:
“If you saw your video clips in the movie before now, and didn’t think to seek what might be due to you. Then, you’re not a serious person. I don’t think there’s any need for this public call out, reach her through other means.”
@enyola shared:
“Very simple something. File a copyright claim with @YouTube and all other forms of credit will follow.”
@NelOsuji wrote:
“You should also request payment not just credit.”
@ahanaelroi commented:
“Would have been nice if you had added the video clips to this post.”
