Osuofia added that it is wrong to compare the quality of Nigerian films with those coming from the advanced countries.
He noted that Nigerian film producers were only using technology imported from such advanced countries.
“The storyline we take is better than any story from any Woods, we don’t have the technology, but we have the story.
“We are a third world country coming up, and people should give us kudos for the level we have attained.
“I believe, with the stories and creativity among us, if we get the needed technology, we will go places, ” he said.
