Omoni Oboli brags about being a qualified movie director.
Nollywood actress Omoni Oboli says speculations about her competence as a movie director are baseless and irrelevant.
According to her, the experience she gathered while on movie sets and at the New York Film Academy are enough to qualify her.
‘I learnt some people asked if I am competent enough to direct a movie; without wanting to join issues with those people, the answer to their question is yes. Not only have I picked up on-the field experience, I also went to one of the best film schools in the world, the New York Film Academy (NYFA) to learn directing specifically.
She described her stay at the school as interesting, and added ‘My lecturers were impressed with my project and I remain one of the few female practitioners in the industry who have gone to the school. If my years of experience and NYFA education don’t qualify me, I wonder what will.’
