Nigerian actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, a veteran in Nollywood, recently expressed disappointment with Turkish Airlines for their lack of Nigerian movie options during her extensive 40-hour flight.
Omotola accused the airline of displaying discrimination towards African travelers, as the films showcased on board solely consisted of content from Turkey, Asia, Bollywood, Hollywood, and the Middle East, leaving Nigerian movies unnoticed.
Expressing her disappointment, she said “Dear @turkishairlines, like many other Foreign companies you might be discriminating against African Destinations and Travelers and that needs to stop.
“The Obvious Lack of details or Respect shown towards African paying customers spilled to on ground staff relationship.
“As if my 40hrs Long flight was not enough, an unexplained hop in Uganda that wasn’t in my booking almost ran me nuts.
“All Movies from Turkey, Asia, Bollywood,
Middle East and of course, Hollywood onboard. Not one Nollywood Movie!
“African Travelers Sometimes pay higher fees to other parts of the globe, so I wonder; Why Blatant Disrespect and Discrimination?”
