Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, a renowned Nollywood actress, has criticized Turkish Airlines for neglecting to feature any Nigerian films throughout her 40-hour flight.
She alleged that the airline’s behavior exhibited discrimination against African passengers.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Omotola expressed her disappointment, stating that only movies from Turkey, Asia, Bollywood, Hollywood, and the Middle East were available during her extensive journey.
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?”
