Nollywood actor, Femi Jacobs, recently got into it with a pastor identified as Emmanuel Iren over his views about Netflix and the call to boycott the streaming service app.
Iren had earlier taken to Twitter to express the need for Christians to boycott Netflix soon.
This, however, did not sit well with Jacobs.
He responded to the tweet, asking how else filmmakers would generate revenue if Netflix is boycotted.
Using himself as an example, Jacobs explained that the offering he gives in church comes from his earnings as a Nollywood actor.
Femi Jacob disapproved of Iren’s post about boycotting Netflix.

He went on to point out that there were other options available on Netflix such as Christian movies.
He wrote:
“Pastor Sir, I am an actor and many of my films are on there. I give my offerings from the proceeds of working in Nollywood. God Calling is on there too, it’s a faith based film. Advise me, where will we be selling our films, Sir?”

To this, Iren responded, explaining that just like how people suffered during the #EndSARS protest for the collective good of Nigerians, so would it be for Christians until Netflix stopped the portrayal of Jesus Christ as gay or a drunk.
