Nollywood - Nigeria

Back


April 2005
First there was Hollywood. Then came Bollywood and now Nollywood. The Nigerian film industry is the third biggest in the world.

Up to a thousand movies are released in Nigeria every year but the country still lacks any cinemas. The movies are for the home video market. It's a world where anyone can be a star and the hottest place to do business is Lagos market. As director Ralph Nwadike states: "Nollywood is here to stay. Bollywood watch out, Hollywood here we come."

At least they are doing something. Your also have to remember that the industry is what 15 or so years old. Many of them are people who had no experience, but got out there and used the resources they could get. I give them kudos. Cause most folx would just be talking out of their ass when they actually just got out there and did it.

I wonder if the shell oil people send the priest? or the western oil companies? By the way wasn't Jesus Scrifice? I don't get why some sacrifice are look down upon while others are glorified. I think we should sacrifice at all and we must just pay for our own sins and wrongs; hmmm, anyway, love the director she's so ambitious, I don't know why she don't get more support. Love her work, it goes to show a good story will endure even on a shoe string budget. Nollywood rule, stories are the best

Err, King, I understand you are a Christian supporter, so am i, but try posting that in Nigeria's religion section, but not so much. You make it seem as if what youre saying is spam, even though it isn't.

There are some Nigerian movies that I dont approve of, because they curse, and most Nigerians I see dont curse at all, the sound quality is bad, but it isnt all that bad. And what's funny, they had one movie that had bad magic grapics... that hurt my ears, and this is coming from a Nigerian like me... heh. But other countries need to start giving Nigeria more suppost for stuff like this and more.
