According
to Patience who was recently in Kumasi to shoot ‘Mama Africa’, a
Ghana-Nigeria collaboration, they are doing well producing movies in the
indigenous language and they deserve to be encouraged.
Speaking
during a press conference, the actress said, "I am glad things are
changing in Africa, where Ghana is taking steps to use and trade with
its local language through movies. Bollywood is second when it comes to
movie making in the world. They use their local language to shoot, which
tells you that it’s not bad for an industry to use local language to
shoot movies.
"When one makes mistakes in English, the whole
country laughs at the person, but we forget it’s not our language, but
rather it’s the white man who forced us to learn it; so if Africa needs
to grow, one of the things we can grow with is our language."
