Ghanaian actor, director, and producer Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has issued a strong warning to television stations across the country, cautioning them against pirating his works. In a video shared on his social media on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the comic actor did not hold back as he called out station owners and CEOs for allegedly showing Ghanaian and Nigerian movies without proper authorization.
He expressed deep frustration over what he described as a lack of support for the local movie industry.According to him, while these stations invest significant sums of money to acquire foreign content such as telenovelas, they often turn around to pirate local productions, particularly Nigerian films downloaded from YouTube-to fill their schedules. "I can't fathom how stations would pay for telenovelas but download and show Nigerian movies for free," he lamented.
Lilwin made it clear that he would not tolerate any station airing his YouTube-posted movies without permission.
He warned that any such action would be met with legal consequences, and hinted that if court proceedings take too long, he would personally escalate matters. "The money I will demand when I sue you, erh… And if the case drags, I'll take it to another level you won't understand," he threatened.He stressed that instead of TV stations investing in local content to support the Ghanaian film industry, they prioritize foreign productions and then hide behind piracy concerns when questioned.
