Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli has condemned Ghanaian television stations for broadcasting her movies without proper licensing, threatening legal action against the offenders.
In a social media post on Saturday, Oboli expressed outrage over what she described as intellectual property theft. She also criticized Ghana’s National Film Authority for failing to address the unauthorized airing of her films.
“I love my Ghanaian besties, colleagues, and friends, but you see those TV stations in Ghana, I’m coming for you! The guts to show my movies without licensing! If dem no arrest one of una, you won’t learn! Watch out! Coming for every one of you!” she wrote.
The actress emphasized the hard work that goes into filmmaking and insisted that those responsible must be held accountable.
“You have no idea how much work goes into these projects. The sleepless nights I have! I’m coming for it all! You will pay for every one of my movies you have shown without permission! In 2025, you don’t understand that’s IP theft?!!!”
Oboli’s comments have sparked discussions on copyright enforcement and intellectual property rights in the African entertainment industry.
