Veteran Nigerian actor, producer and director Sunny Alli has described Nollywood’s witchcraft and money ritual storylines as unrealistic.
Sunny Alli made the remarks during a recent interview.
Speaking about his beliefs, the veteran actor said he does not believe in witchcraft or money rituals, adding that such storylines have no place in his scripts.
He also challenged his colleagues, asking how they knew what happened at alleged witchcraft meetings or what participants wore. Alli further questioned whether the spirit believed to bring money to ritualists operated a printing machine or had ties with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
While declaring such storylines unrealistic, he said “I love making realistic movies.”
“There are certain things I can never write in my films. Things like witches having meetings. How? Who has ever been to their meeting before or know where they meet? What did they look like? Or something like someone is sick and was taken to the cleric for prayers and while praying for the person, something came out from him and the sickness disappeared.
“I don’t believe in money rituals. Because they said it is the spirit that is supplying the money, and I asked if the spirit has its own printing machine? Or is the spirit bringing the money from the Central Bank or from the bureau de change? I love making realistic movies
