‘Bimbo Ademoye finally achieved her goal of promoting her movie’ – Ola Michael

Media personality Ola Michael has accused some Nigerian movie producers, particularly Bimbo Ademoye, of using her recent outburst about Ghanaian TV stations pirating her movies as a calculated strategy to promote her work.

In a discussion on United Showbiz on April 27, 2025, Ola Michael pointed out that Nigerians are “number one” when it comes to pirating movies.

He recalled a time when Nigerians were known for pirating films from Ghana and other African countries during the peak of the Ghanaian movie industry.

Ola Michael emphasised that Nigerians are partly to blame for the decline of the Ghanaian movie industry.

“After watching her video, I saw someone doing PR for her film. When the Ghana movie industry was thriving, you could go to some African countries and find Nigerians pirating our movies at the roadside. If you want to know who is good at piracy, it’s the Nigerians,” he said.

He also advised Ghanaians not to make themselves available to be used by Nigerians for publicity purposes.

According to him, Bimbo was wearing a T-shirt while ranting about the piracy issues, which he believes is evidence that she was, in fact, promoting her movie.

Ola Michael further added that the day after Bimbo’s outburst, having successfully garnered attention for her movie, she began counting the increase in views for that particular film and noted the rise in her subscribers.

“In the video, she attacked people who supported her movies and spoke about her new film. She was wearing a T-shirt promoting her movie. The next day, she talked about how her subscribers had increased,” he added.

“They’re capitalizing on this to market their movie. Before Omoni Oboli released her movie, she did something similar. Omoni did the same thing a week before releasing her movie, and surprisingly, her viewers and subscribers grew,” he concluded.
