    Chris Attoh explains why he left Ghana to Nigeria

    Renowned Ghanaian actor Christopher Keith Nii Attoh, better known by his stage name Chris Attoh, recently spoke candidly about his choice to focus more on the Nigerian film industry.

    In an exclusive interview with 3Music TV, the actor revealed that he chose to work in the Nigerian film industry due to its wider audience base. He continued by describing how Nigeria had a thriving film industry that provided more chances for partnerships.

    “At the time, the necessity was that you had to be in the Nigerian space if you wanted a bigger market or a bigger audience. Ghana was great, but the truth is Ghana is small, and if you are trying to get the attention of players beyond Ghana, not just Nigeria, you have to expand.

    “And Nigeria has numbers, Nigeria is making films every single day. I’m always looking forward to where we are collaborating instead of being separated,” he said.

    Speaking about the current state of the Ghanaian film industry and its lack of advancement, he bemoaned the absence of mentorship and direction for artists in the field, adding that he was not raised by the right people who could have guided him in his development.

    “I don’t think it’s a matter of not wanting to push ourselves. Growing up, we didn’t have the right mentors. We didn’t have people who brought us up and would take your hand and say this is the way. And it becomes a thing that’s heavy on my heart,” he bemoaned.
