Pastor of the Mind of Christ Christian Center and Free Leah Sharibu convener, Reno Omokri has claimed that Nollywood has conditioned the mind of foreigners to see Nigerians as juju people. He cited an instance in 2011, when he and Kanayo O Kanayo was in walking in San Francisco, and Reno Omokri brought his camera, a lady thinking that they wanted to snap her, screamed and accused them of wanting to use her photograph for juju.
See what he wrote on his verified Instagram account:
I have been to many African and Caribbean countries. Once they know you are Nigerian, many become wary. Not because of 419. But because of juju. Nollywood has conditioned them to see all Nigerians as fetish juju people. We did this to ourselves! True story: in 2011, Kanayo O Kanayo and I were walking in San Francisco. An American lady recognised him. I brought out my camera, thinking she wanted a photo. She screamed and said ‘you want to use my photo for juju’! That is what Nollywood has done to us!
