Ghanaian actress and media personality Grace Omaboe, also known as Maame D\u0254kono, has said that current Ghanaian movies lack life lessons audience could learn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to her, she only watches movies these days just for the fun of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at it [the movie industry] and I laugh in my head because I don\u2019t see much lessons in what they are doing these days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI listen to it and maybe I watch it for the fun of it,\u201d she said in an interview on Asaase Radio, Wednesday, August 7.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cBut during our time, we were not many, just a few of us. When a father, should play a father role, he\u2019s an old man, an elderly man; he\u2019s not made up with moustache and all that, powder and all that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She expressed her displeasure when Ghanaian comedian and actor Lil Win was once chosen to play her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember one time they asked me to come and do a Kumawood movie and somebody was supposed to play my husband. I said, ah, how can a small boy like this play my husband?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, maybe I should mention the name, Lil Win. Yes, playing my husband. No, it can\u2019t happen. I will not play [that role] because what at all is he going to tell me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I didn\u2019t play [the role] and they got angry with me,\u201d the veteran actress explained.<\/p>\n

She said social media has had a significant impact on how acting is done these days.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when I look at the social media\u2026 I say, what is this? You know, it\u2019s like a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also lamented how producers offer roles to amateurs who are willing to accept lower pay because they are not getting enough roles to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the second part is that I think there is no pay. The pay, the allowance, or what they get out of it, isn\u2019t enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, for instance, if you are old, you are married, and you have children, you must have sufficient income to support them. But if you are acting today, your income or allowance will not cover your expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you will not act. So you leave it to the children to act. And that is why they are destroying the thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to her, Nigerians, however, are paid well. \u201cThe Nigerians are paid well. So if you see a Nigerian who will go further his course and come and play that role, you know that he\u2019s being paid well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut here in Ghana, there is no reward for whatever they do,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
