Nollywood actress and producer, Tamara Eteimo, was recently at Pulse Nigeria, where she spoke on the movie industry, her career among others.

During the interview, Eteimo stated that Nollywood can compete with any international movie. The actress revealed this while speaking on finding good roles in the Nigerian film industry.

"I don't think it is hard to find good roles in Nollywood. You would agree with me that our stories are evolving from what they used to be," she said.

"Right now, we can stand and compete with any international movie, in as much as we have not really gotten to the extent that we know we want to get to.

"But we are growing to the point that we can stand and be confident that 'this is a movie that was shot in Nigeria, and it can stand anywhere in the world. So yes, we have good roles in Nollywood."

The actress also spoke on being stereotyped, her most challenging role yet, among other interesting topic.

Eteimo is popular for movies including "Finding Mercy," "Mrs Somebody," "Somewhere Down the Line," "Desperate Housegirls" among others.
