Nigerian actress and award-winning producer Bimbo Ademoye has publicly lashed out at Ghanaian television networks for what she describes as blatant piracy of her creative works.
Taking to social media in a fiery post, Bimbo condemned the unauthorized broadcast of her movies by two Ghana-based platforms—Nollynew Series TV and Nolly Specials—calling it a theft of her intellectual property and hard work.
“Enough is enough! My blood, sweat, tears, money, and sleepless nights will not be enjoyed by someone else!” she wrote, urging fans to help report the offending channels. “You lift my films and put them on your channels — have I given you permission?”
Bimbo revealed that she had initially considered opening dialogue or negotiating revenue-sharing terms, but the persistent disregard for copyright laws forced her to abandon that approach. Instead, she now vows to take a harder line, even joking that she’s ready to petition Ghana’s President John Mahama if needed.
The actress’s outburst highlights the growing frustration among Nollywood creatives over the widespread unauthorized distribution of their work across Africa. She joins industry colleagues like Ruth Kadiri and Omoni Oboli, who have also called out international piracy networks in recent months.
Bimbo’s bold stance is being hailed by fans and filmmakers alike as a necessary step in the fight for intellectual property rights in the African entertainment industry.
