hey pple, i ve heard alot of pple sayin dat the name "nollywood" is another "copy copy" 9jas wont stop doin. ( which i agree with cos hollywood and bollywood they are tryin to copy derived that name from somewhere/something but Nollywood, to me makes no connection to anything i kno in 9ja but u can prove me wrong tho' ) So, do u think that name is ok or do u think the nigerian movie industry shld create a name for themselves

the name nollywood is a disgrace, we have a very prospective movie industry, that with the right attitude and professionals would make nigerian movies a force to reckon with. But absolutely taking a name of an already established movie industry and transforming it into your own, is simply shameless, and that is why nobody would ever take the nigerian movie industry serious, until some much needed changes are made.

no coment but i like da name

I think the name NOLLYWOOD SUCKS!!! They shld look for sonething else and name it,

"In India, their movie industry is located in Bombay. That is why they call it Bollywood while in the U.S, Hollywood was derived from the name of a tree plant-the grows there But for Nolly, I don’t know where they got the name from". Says Zeb ejiro( one of the top producers 9ja's got) and i agree with him. Who name the nigerian Movie industry NOLLYWOOD?? where did the name come from??

The american movie industry has the right claim to that name and what it stands for. If the nigerian government wants to name their industry, they should come up with something else without the word wood or tree in it . Just like how the US president lives in the "white house", so does the Nigeria president, who lives at "aso rock". Aso rock has it's own uniqueness instead of having a copy-cat name like the green house

I think it's just sad , why can't d Industry jst get somethin of dere own, They copy a lot of things from movies nd stuff but copyin d a name na dat's wacked to d core. but again we have bollywood

Nothing wrong with copying a good thing. When people anywhere hear "Nollywood" they'll know it's movie related.

naija's follow follow syndrome will always keep them in the shadows of things. why did they not go for smthg authentically nigerian like the californians did? Hollywood is clearly named after the legacy of the land. What has nollywood got to do with naija? i wonder o.
