In an interview with Nollywire, Omope discussed the business side of filmmaking, stating that the film industry often views film as an individual pursuit rather than a business venture. doesn’t seem to understand film as a business venture but as an individual pursuit.
“I’ve always said that the number one problem in nollywood as far as I’m concerned is revenue. Nollywood has a revenue problem. And the reason we have a revenue problem even though people say we have a production problem is because we don’t treat ourselves as businesses. We treat ourselves as individuals and that is why money comes into Nigeria and they are giving money to the tech guys,” he said.
