Popular Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, has shared his thoughts on the comparison between Ghana’s movie industry and Nigeria’s Nollywood.

Speaking during a recent interview, Majid described the comparison as stupid and unfair, admitting that Nollywood is far ahead of Ghana’s movie industry.

He said: “The comparison between us and Nigeria is such a stupid comparison to me. If you have 50 children and I have 5 children, the possibility that you will have more criminals, doctors, good children and filmmakers than me is very high.”

“We are less than 40 million in Ghana. Nigeria is over 200 million, almost 300 million. So how on earth would you compare?”

“Why do they have more doctors than us? Mathematically, you should know why. So if Nigeria has more filmmakers than us, it only makes sense because they are way more than us.”

“It is also unfair for us to compare ourselves with any other established nation in the world. When it comes to leadership, we are adolescent.”

“There are countries that have been in leadership for over 300 years. They have built systems. We are way behind. So it is an unfair comparison.”
