The post resonated with some fans who expressed solidarity with Pere's experience one fan noted,

"To be fair, I have seen movies that are just crap on Netflix and Amazon Prime, and I wonder how they got on those platforms, while other amazing movies like "The Silent Intruder" are not yet streaming... Nigerians and favoritism and clicks 5 & 6...🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️🚶🏿‍♂️."

This comment reflects a growing sentiment that favoritism plays a significant role in how movies are promoted and distributed, with many believing that the success of a movie isn't always based on quality but rather on industry connections.

However, not everyone agreed with Pere's perspective. Another user suggested that Pere should seek advice from Nollywood heavyweight Funke Akindele, saying,

"The wise thing would be to humble yourself and ask Ma Funke Akindele, 'How did you do it?' There is grace, and there are GRACES. The grace you don’t respect will reject you in your season if need be. Full stop."

This comment implies that success in Nollywood, like in any industry, is not only about the financial investment or the talent on-screen, but also about strategic positioning, networking, and sometimes, the right timing.

One more opinion came from a fan who argued,

"It’s standard practice all over the world. There’s no bias here. If you have a proven track record, you are prioritized and get more publicity."
