Yomi Fash-Lanso, a Nollywood actor, has slammed Mercy Aigbe, who claimed that Yoruba-speaking performers were considered illiterates.
In a recent interview with HipTv, veteran Yoruba movie actor Fash told HipTv that anyone who believes Yoruba-speaking actors are illiterates is thinking stupidly.
Aigbe recently informed newsmen in Lagos that Yoruba-speaking actors are being discriminated against by their English-speaking peers.

After supposedly being’snubbed’ by ThisDay Style magazine in its list of finest dressed Nollywood stars, Aigbe made her claims.
The English-speaking part of Nollywood has been accused of prejudice as a result of this mistake.
Fash, on the other hand, slammed individuals who discriminate against Yoruba-speaking actors, calling them “dumb.”
“What is illiteracy?” he asked. Could you please define illiteracy for me?
“We don’t speak English, is English our language? Whoever says to you that those who don’t speak English are illiterates, tell that person he’s a very stupid person,” the ‘Dazzling Mirage’ actor stated.
