I saw the advertistment of celebration of Nollywood at 20 african magic. I think nollywood is more than 20. I have seen a movie by Olu Jacobs, RMD.... titled "Vigilante" it was produced in late 80's.
People that are conversant with nollywood on NL should please confirm whether the claim of the organizers is true.

Well I was made to understand that 'nollywood' actually refers for the alaba/idumota marketers era which actually started in '93 with the birth of Kenneth Nnubue's 'living in bondage'. So that makes it 20yrs.

I don't really know much but today nollywood has also come to also mean the Nigerian Movie Industry...

Just use your discretion. The Nigerian Movie Industry is older than 20yrs. The same cannot be said 'bout nollywood cos the name has been hijacked.

No time for story but We Nigerians are a people who like to conveniently ignore our own history.
