Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has called out Turkish Airlines of discriminating against African travelers for failing to show any Nigerian movie during her 40 hour flight.
Speaking in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Omotola said during her long flight, only movies from Turkey, Asia, Bollywood, Hollywood and Middle East, were shown.
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?”
