On Nollywood’s Cultural Identity: Silva believes that Nollywood is not losing its cultural essence despite concerns. She explains that while culture is evolving in today’s globalized world, streaming platforms actually encourage authentic cultural expression, which she sees as enriching rather than eroding Nollywood’s unique identity.

On Roles for Veteran Actors: Addressing the scarcity of roles for older actors, Silva calls for more diverse storytelling that includes middle-aged and older characters, whose life experiences are often overlooked. She advocates for stories that reflect the experiences of people over 50 and their relationships with younger generations, noting that this shift could add depth to Nollywood’s narratives.
