Nollywood actress, Chioma Ifemeludike has disclosed how the modern day entertainment industry impacts the quest for monumental wealth which also leads to ritual killings.
She also blamed the rate of unemployment, the frustration and pressure that goes with it.
These, she itemized in lengthy posts on her social media handles.
According to Chioma Ifemeludike, expensive lifestyle of some Nigerian celebrities do not correlate with their income, adding that this directly/indirectly affect the youths.
She also noted that the Government can control the evil if youths are engaged or employed.
According to Chioma: “Let’s even talk about our musical contents, the lyrics some of what y’all musicians are promoting is mounting undue pressure on these kids, gone are they days when meaningful songs from the likes of Onyeka Onwenu, (late) Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe, (Late) Legendary Fela Anikulapo kuti etc.
“These were international award winning musicians who used every opportunity to teach impact society positively through their music (some even after death) but fast forward today you hear lyrics like “if you no get money hide your face” 🤷🏾♀️…
“Nollywood movies haven’t necessarily promoted rituals but in my opinion,I think the problem here is the narrative circulated through these storylines that human blood(sacrifice) can make money start raining in a secret room or inside a wardrobe…
“Can human sacrifice truly produce wealth? and even if it does same Nollywood have shown in many storylines the consequences and repercussions of taking another persons life.
“The short and long story here is, “an idle man is the devil’s workshop”! Government must, as a matter of urgency,engage and empower our youth.”
