In his words:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAs far back as I can remember, I have been shooting music videos for years. Even my \u2018We Are Africans\u2019 video, I shot that myself. But after doing African Gang in 2011, I realised I was getting too old for the young scene, so I knew it was time to evolve. I packed my bags and moved into Nollywood. I was very passionate about telling stories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The singer-turned-filmmaker further revealed that his transition into Nollywood wasn\u2019t easy. According to him, he faced gatekeeping from established industry players and struggled with unfair distribution systems. He revealed:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI was a JJC (newbie) and I didn\u2019t grow up with most of the filmmakers in Nigeria, so it was like, \u2018You want to enter our space?\u2019 Some doors were closed. There are gatekeepers at all levels. It\u2019s monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sometimes cinemas take 70 per cent, other times 60 per cent, and after paying 22 per cent tax, we\u2019re left with nothing. We have to make the film and also sell it because distribution companies aren\u2019t out there selling. We are stuck in a horrible place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite the challenges, JJC Skillz says his passion for storytelling keeps him pushing forward in Nollywood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_216421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-216421\" style=\"width: 495px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1115.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1115.jpeg 495w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/08\/IMG_1115-240x300.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-216421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JJC Skillz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other news, popular Nigerian music video director, ThankGod Omori Jesam, better known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/08\/18\/dialysis-costs-100k-per-session-tg-omori-cries-out-over-monthly-health-expense\/\">TG Omori or Boy Director, has once again drawn attention to his health journey with an emotional post about the high cost of dialysis in Nigeria.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a series of tweets, Omori revealed how overwhelming the expenses can be for the average Nigerian battling kidney failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The award-winning director also reflected on his own medical bills, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSaw my month\u2019s health expenses, Omo 2 GLE and one small C300 bro!
