Kunle Afod replies Yoruba marketers ban News


Hours after the news of Kunle Afod and Yewande Adekoya's ban was published online, the ace actor has released a press release to that effect.
PRESS RELEASE
It is with great displeasure and utmost disbelief that
I read on a certain blog that I have been sanctioned by
(YOVIPMAN) ,The accusations in the write up are beyond preposterous.
I was accused of aiding piracy and involving myself in unethical
practices .

I have consulted with my lawyers and the law will definitely take it's course
in due time but I will like to put a few things on record first.
One, I am not a member of YOVIPMAN, and therefore not bound
by the ethics of YOVIPMAN, it's therefore impossible to be bound
by the ethics of an association I don't belong to. In any market in the world the manufactures chooses his sales outlet. It definitely doesn't appeal to logic that a customer dictates to the manufacturer who he supplies his goods to.
Three, we had no prior arrangements as regards who I work or do not work with. Do you get punished for an offense you do not commit?
I want to make this abundantly clear, that I, Adekunle Afod will
never do anything to truncate the growth of this industry
There are several other producers who sell to the online community
Why was I the only one sanctioned.
This is a misguided witch hunt and I refuse to be a victim
I know and I believe that injustice to one is injustice to all
In the words of a great poet
When they came for the buddist
I didn't talk because I wasn't a buddist
When they came for the christains
I didn't talk because I wasn't a christain
When they came for the moslems
I didn't talk because I wasn't a moslem
When they came for me
There was nobody to left to speakme
I expect all stakeholders to stand up and speak up against this flagrant act of disregard for
a movie maker of my repute's rights but then again, it has always been all man for himself.

I will like to assure my fans and friends that nothing will
stop me from giving them the best of me. In fact expect more.
We shall see this through. We await legal action
But as we we're taught in theatre
THE SHOW MUST CONTINUE
GOD BLESS YOU
KUNLE AFOD.
