Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, John Njamah, has spoken out against the industry’s focus on social media popularity over acting ability when casting roles. Known for his role as Rabiu in *Fuji House of Commotion*, Njamah expressed his disappointment in a recent interview, emphasizing that casting decisions should be based on skill, not an actor’s Instagram followers or appearance.
Njamah, whose career spans roles in Tinsel, Living In Lagos, Solitaire, and other notable series, voiced concern for the future of Nollywood, arguing that prioritizing genuine talent over social media metrics would enhance the quality of Nigerian filmmaking.
