Speaking about the death of Ada Ameh and how it has greatly affected The Johnsons, Charles Inojie said:

Aside from being a pioneering cast on the show, Ada Ameh was also one of the strongest links we had on the show and naturally the exit of such an important figure/character was always going to deal a devastating blow to the show. For us on ‘The Johnsons’, Ada is irreplaceable. Her commitment and love for the show were never in doubt and we believe that there can be no better way to honour her memory than to continue the show in spite of the obviously daunting odds. By the special grace of God, the show will continue to ride high on the uniqueness of our premium content.

Speaking about the role of Nollywood in politics, Charles Inojie said:

Institutions and agencies of government can engage movies in propagating their policies and programmes, knowing that it is a much more veritable tool for information, education and entertainment. Going by the current and unusual surge in political activities across the Nigerian socio-political spectrum, which one could interpret to mean improved political awareness and voter education, it could be safe to conclude that Nigerians are unanimously saying goodbye to political listlessness and voter apathy. However, there is a greater need to be cautious in making such deductions until these overtly expressed political emotions across the land can actually translate to real votes.

Speaking about upcoming actors and actress and their lack of training, Charles Inojie said:

I think the quality of training that the younger generation of actors is exposed to is suspect. In most cases, not many of them are disposed to acquiring any form of formal training, particularly among the female folk. Being an actor has been reduced to having the guts to dare and flaunt vital portions of the female anatomy before the camera. It is commonplace today to find so-called actors, who can barely string a few correct tenses together, playing lead roles and brazenly displaying quackery with false and highly annoying locally-acquired foreign accents. Among the older generation, discipline and control were integral components of their practice.
