Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie recently expressed deep concern over the decline of the Ghanaian movie industry, stating that he does not feel happy that the sector is no longer flourishing. Speaking to the press during his visit to Ghana for the Pete Edochie Legacy Project at Accra Legacy Week, the legendary actor openly contrasted the struggles of Ghana's film market with Nollywood's continued advancement.
His core arguments and observations regarding the industry include:
• The Collapse and Lack of Vitality: Edochie observed that while Ghana is blessed with immensely talented creatives, the industry has lost much of its former momentum and vitality. He directly separated it from the Nigerian industry, pointing out that Ghana's movie sector is uniquely declining.
• The Exposure by Nollywood: He remarked that many of the most famous Ghanaian actors found their major breakthroughs and global exposure because they were brought to Nigeria to work within its fully developed market.
• A Call for Institutional Funding: To resurrect the sector, Edochie made a major appeal to President John Dramani Mahama and the corporate sector to heavily invest in filmmaking. He emphasized that big corporate entities need to step up and sponsor films that authentically tell the Ghanaian story.
• Warnings Against Complacency: Reflecting on the history of Nollywood, he shared a cautionary tale of how uneducated film marketers in Nigeria once became arrogant ("swollen-headed"), nearly crashing the industry before structured corporate and youth investment saved it. He hinted that Ghana needs strategic, professional backing to sustain pressure and avoid collapse.
Beyond his professional critiques, Edochie showcased his personal solidarity with Ghana's film community by paying a welfare visit to ailing veteran Ghanaian actor Emmanuel Armah, even donating his earnings from the trip to support his medical care.
