Nollywood scriptwriter Valentine Ezeh has revealed why he decided to quit writing stories that show Igbo men as ritualists.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Ezeh said: “I stopped writing movie script that portraits Igbo men as ritualist when I noticed that some of my movies contributes heavily to the damages done to our race as Igbos.
“So many producers tried to plead with me to write ritual movie for them after that but I insist that I will never do it again even with the huge amount of money offered.

“It was fun initially telling fiction and imaginary stories but I noticed that I was making people that truly do not know our people perceive my Igbo brothers that hustle genuinely and make their money as ritualist. Is time to start doing things right.”
He stressed that he would not take on such scripts again, even when offered more money, because of the negative impact they have on the perception of hardworking Igbo men.
