Art imitates life. Nollywood films showcase the fragmented realities of nigerian life. They show us that Nigerians have been completely robbed of the capacity to squarly face the many challanges of life. It showcases the eargerness with which we relegate even the simpliest of problems to supernatural causes and solutions. Nollywood and the semi-literate pentecostal minnions who run the producing companies have successfully infused their theology of fear into the what was supposed to be an attempt at cultural revival and pride. Nollywood, as a social engineering tool, can be the most powerful and effective tool to foster unity,for cultural and ethical revival and re-orientation. But alas, the enemy has taken over to use it as its own powerful tool to propagate its own messages of fear, bigotry and intolerance. Indina movies showcase their cultural pride. Chinese films showcase their culture ,proud history, and their pride. Nigerian movies , on the other hand , showcase the mockery of their culture and history. "The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS". -This is excerpt from the Willie Lynch letter of 1712, a scientific manual for man-breaking and slave-making. 6 Likes |

Re: What Nollywood Tells Us About Nigeria by Nobody: 4:43pm On Oct 18, 2012 |
To the haters and slowpokes, The article/OP is not about Nollywood per se. It is about how religion is blocking the minds of people in Nigeria and how Nollywood reflects that. If Nigeria changes for the better, Nollywood would probably reflect it as well 8 Likes |

What Nollywood tells us about Nigeria That every bachelor lives in a duplex. The character, even if described as middle class, ends up having a pricy pad with an array of cars to make a Vegas showroom cringe with jealousy. That every Youth Corper is poor. That anyone who stays out of town is poor and/or semi-literate, if not a full blown illiterate. That you're not a big girl if you don't have a smartphone. That intelligent people are usually poor....rich kids are dumb cultists. That EVERY intercourse ends up in pregnancy That EVERY house maid will eventually snatch Madam's husband Every Gardener is an Efik/Ibibio....every security guard is Hausa Every Ibo man is a greedy ritualist Every Yoruba woman is unfaithful....Yoruba people ALWAYS go to a Babalawo to solve their problems. Adoption is WRONG.......goes on 8 Likes |

That ibo people are ritualist That for a man to make it in life,he nust first suffer. That most campus girls are aristos. That all the time,Good always prevail over Evil. That you can act nonsense,and still be applauded by stup1d Nigerians. That all films are sold at Idumota. That when a person does ritualist,you can become born again,and nothing will happen to you. A person can be shot inside a car,the glass won't break,and he can die. 4 Likes |

Re: What Nollywood Tells Us About Nigeria by Nobody: 4:52pm On Oct 18, 2012 |
Wow!!! This is good!! Nowadays media control the world and there is no greater media than movies in the society! I remember watching this movie(forgot the name) about corruption in nepa and" ramsy noah(main actor) in the movie fought so hard against it even loosing his job and finally the case was heard in abuja headquarter" and justice was carried. and that movie never get noticed in the society but this movie "a cry for help" by nkiru silvanus was so popular!! I believe the society can learn a lot from that ramsy noah movie! If the writer were to be the writer of "a cry for help" it will end up in a way that the actor instead of fighting for what he believe is wrong by phcn he will start praying for god intervention! I strongly believe that nollywood has al ot to offer NIGERIA noy what we seeing today! 1 Like |

musKeeto: Interesting interview.... 90% of Nollywood movies are made by those who don't know what is film making. It is a great embarrassment to see amateurish TV dramas been passed as movies at the local cinemas in Nigeria. Majority of the actors don't know that there is a big difference between stage drama and cinema. |
