Bimbo Ademoye warns Ghanaian Tv Stations

Celebrated Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bimbo Ademoye has issued a stern warning to Ghanaian television stations, accusing them of illegally airing her films without obtaining proper authorization. In a passionate video shared on her official Instagram page, the actress condemned what she described as “a blatant disregard for intellectual property rights.”

Bimbo, known for her powerful on-screen presence and growing body of work in Nigerian cinema, revealed that she had initially attempted a collaborative approach, hoping the offending stations would come to the table to discuss licensing terms.

“Before, I used to say, ‘At least come to me, let’s discuss and share,’ but now, I don’t want your money. Don’t show my movies,” she declared.

According to reports, Ghana’s Daily TV and at least three other unnamed stations have allegedly broadcast her films without permission, prompting outrage from Bimbo and other Nigerian creatives. The actress emphasized that this repeated pattern of copyright infringement has become unbearable and damaging to filmmakers' livelihoods.

“Let the battle begin. I will not let anyone profit off my blood, sweat, and sleepless nights,” she wrote in a powerful caption accompanying her video post.

Bimbo Ademoye joins a growing list of Nollywood stars including Ruth Kadiri and Omoni Oboli, who have also raised alarms over unauthorized broadcasts by some media outlets in Ghana, highlighting what they describe as a growing culture of piracy and disrespect for Nigerian film content.

In addition to TV stations, Bimbo also called out several YouTube channels—specifically naming Ayodeji Films, Nolly Specials, and Nollynew Series—for illegally using her name, movie titles, and promotional images to mislead viewers. She accused these channels of bait-and-switch tactics, where her likeness is used as a clickbait tool for unrelated or low-quality content.

“These channels are stealing content and deceiving viewers. It’s time we stand up and protect our creative industry,” she said.

The actress concluded her message with a warning that if the unauthorized use of her work continues, she will pursue legal action through appropriate authorities both in Nigeria and Ghana.

Industry stakeholders are now rallying behind Bimbo, calling for stronger enforcement of intellectual property laws across West Africa, and for cross-border collaboration between content creators and broadcasters.

As Nollywood continues its global expansion, artists like Bimbo Ademoye are taking a stand to ensure that original content is protected, respected, and rightfully monetized.
