According to the Amazon Bestseller, his visit to many African and Caribbean countries made him understand that nations see Nigerians as fetish people because of what they watch in Nollywood movies.
He revealed that many foreigners fear Nigerians not because of advanced fraud [419] but because of “juju” [voodoo].
He then criticised the country’s film industry for painting a bad picture of the country.
Taking to his verified page on Twitter, Reno Omokri wrote the following;
“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!”
