Nigerian Actress Warns Ghanaian TV Stations

Nollywood actress and producer Omoni Oboli has strongly criticized Ghanaian television stations for broadcasting her films without the necessary legal authorization.

Taking to her Instagram page on March 9, Oboli vowed to take legal action against the stations involved. She questioned whether Ghana had any authorities in place to protect intellectual property rights, stressing the importance of respecting her creative work.

Oboli highlighted the immense effort, dedication, and resources required to produce films, insisting that unauthorized use of her work amounts to theft.

“I love my Ghanaian besties, colleagues, and friends, but you see those TV stations in Ghana, I’m coming for you! The guts to show my movies without licensing! If dem no arrest one of una, you won’t learn! Watch out! Coming for every one of you!” she wrote.

“You have no idea how much work goes into these projects. The sleepless nights I have! I’m coming for it all! You will pay for every one of my movies you have shown without permission! In 2025, you don’t understand that’s IP theft?!!!

“Maybe you don’t have a television authority in Ghana, but that is not my concern! Coming for you all! Clowns! Thanks to my Ghanaian besties for always sending me screenshots.”

This is not the first time a Nigerian creative has raised concerns about copyright violations in Ghana. In September 2023, Nollywood actress and filmmaker Ruth Kadiri similarly issued a warning to Ghanaian TV stations airing her content without proper authorization.

Kadiri, like Oboli, announced her intention to pursue legal action against the offenders, further highlighting the growing issue of intellectual property infringement in the Ghanaian media space.
