Acclaimed comedian and filmmaker Bright Okpocha, known professionally as Basketmouth, criticized certain colleagues for their insufficient portrayal of Nigeria's rich cultural heritage in their films.

He asserted that many recently released epic films fail to adequately promote the nation's culture. 

In a Hip TV interview, Mr. Okpocha stated that these filmmakers missed valuable opportunities to present Nigeria's culture in a positive light.

He said, “I believe that we still have the opportunity to get it right. But we had a great opportunity to showcase our culture and most of the filmmakers blew it up. They just ruined that great chance because I see epic movies and they look like stage plays.

“When I was seeing most of the epic movies, I was disappointed.

“You guys blew up a great opportunity but let’s hope we still have another chance to strike at it.

“I’m sorry, only very few movies have impressed me so far. I believe that we can do more.”
