During an interview the actor and School Based Monitor with the Toronto District School Board Nosa Agbonifo Obaseki, was asked why he is passionate about promoting anything that has to do with entertainment in edo state and why he uses the hashtag edototheworld on all his post on instagram, facebook and YouTube, responding to the question he said
“I am a proud and unapologetically Edo son. If I don’t promote my culture, who will? I love to promote and celebrate my people, because without them there’s no “Nosa Obaseki”. I promote everything entertainment coming from there. I copied that hashtag from a sister and colleague, called Patience Omoruyi. She’s a film producer and a content creator. I think she started the trend.
Nosa also gave a secret formula for success, to the younger generations who might want to go into film production, he stated that, the keys to success in the film Industry are good stories, beautiful production, wonderful actors, cinema, and people coming out to see the movies. He said ” I believe the rate people are loving movies made by Nigerians has really changed the way people see our films. And, since Netflix started buying into the industry too.
Mr Nosa also advised the government on what they could do to help people in the film industry saying that “They can invest more in the industry. It’s a big industry bringing huge revenue, so they need to support filmmakers by investing more into it. In Canada, the government have a budget of about 400 million dollars for filmmakers, in South Africa the government also has a budget given to the people in the industry, if the Nigerian Government can also do that, it will really encourage filmmakers and they will be able to produce movies that are better than the current one’s.
