The Nigerian movie industry has been criticized for repeatedly casting the same actors in their projects as actress Jemima Osunde and upcoming actor Enioluwa Adeoluwa responded to a fan who recently expressed displeasure.

Recall that some netizens had queried the use of the same cast in reaction to actor Adedimeji Lateef's upcoming epic movie, Lisabi.

Weeks after, another netizen shared the same observation while reacting to Bimbo Ademoye's new project.

The netizen wrote: "I'm sincerely tired of seeing the same faces in this dam industry."

Clapping back at the netizen said, Jemima wrote: "We’re tired of seeing your face too in your office. Dan! I hope they sack you."

Social media influencer and upcoming actor, Enioluwa stated that Nigerian actors can't afford to rely on acting in a single movie for a year like their colleagues in Hollywood.

According to Enioluwa, Nollywood can't support as many newcomers as people expect.

"People often say they’re tired of seeing the same faces in Nigerian films. However, unlike in Hollywood, actors in Nigeria can’t afford to do just one film a year — how much are they paying.

"The industry currently can’t support as many newcomers as people might expect because, realistically, many of them wouldn’t be able to meet even their basic needs.

"No one wants to be famous and financially unstable," he wrote.
