“I totally understand where Leila is coming from because the reality of the matter is when you are in LA, Nollywood, sometimes you get that cast profile and they say American or UK accent or we looking for someone with a Jamaican or Ghanaian accent and I have been to auditions like that, for her as a director to say that, there is nothing wrong with it. I know how people like to sensationalize, and go like Leila is saying you should go and speak LAFA. I dont think what she said is bad but not everbody has to do that,” she said.
