“Our Nollywood actors and actresses are doing a lot for this country but they have no help when they are in difficulty or in need," Iginla lamented.

We celebrate our but we do not know what they go through. People think they have achieved a lot but they have nothing to show because of piracy.”

Nigeria is the third largest producer of films in the world and Nigeria’s image is being positively projected abroad by Nollywood artistes," he further stated.

I plead with the Federal Government to do something urgently about our great heroes in the Nollywood.”

This is about the number one sector that has given us Nigeria positive image abroad,’’ he said.
