Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has publicly criticized Ghanaian television stations for airing her movies without securing the appropriate licenses.
Taking to her Instagram page on Saturday evening, Oboli expressed her frustration over the unauthorized airing of her films, vowing to take legal action against the offenders.
She also called out the Ghana National Film Authority for failing to take action against the alleged violations, threatening legal consequences for the TV stations involved.
While voicing her frustrations, the actress highlighted the dedication and hard work required to produce films, stressing that such unauthorized broadcasts undermine filmmakers’ efforts.
“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.
Oboli further emphasized that the illegal airing of her films would not go unpunished.
“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?!!!
“Maybe you don’t have a television authority in Ghana, but that is not my concern! Coming for you all! Clowns! Thanks to my Ghanaian besties for always sending me screenshots.”
Her outburst has sparked discussions about copyright enforcement and the need for stronger measures to protect filmmakers’ intellectual property across Africa.
