Like it or not, Nigerian movies are the bomb diggity, and my day is never complete without them, believe it or not. Little sister and little brother don't understand my obsession with Nigerian movies. "Yours Truly, why do you always watch crap" "Yours Truly, they make a lot of noise" "Yours Truly, why do they have stupid titles such as return of Beyoncé and Rihanna, local sense, Azonto girls, Yankee girls etc" "Yours Truly, why is the quality always poor - looks like they use their phone to shoot it, then they upload it to Youtube" "Yours Truly, why do people that have never left the shores of Nigeria have fake accents in movies?"

Like I always say to them, "Nigerian movies may not be up to standard, but, they keep me entertained". We have amazing actors such as Osuofia, Mama G, Charles Inojie - Without them, there will be no Nollywood (A girl like me needs her daily Injection of Nigerian movies). We may not be as good as Hollywood, but, we are getting there. I love Nigerian comedy movies. However, I will have to agree with my siblings on some things - the quality is really bad and I hate it when I see people speak with fake accents. Must everyone do 'phonetics'. Some of the titles are unbelievable - the return of Rihanna and Beyoncé, chicken madness, tea or coffee, could this be love?, etc. Sometimes, you see a 40-year-old mama playing the role of someone in Primary school.

I have spotted lots of errors in Nigerian movies. The other day, I was watching one movie like that (I have forgotten the title oo). Thieves entered the living room, but, the girl already jumped and screamed before they actually came in. How did she know they were coming? Also, someone died before he was actually shot, and the gun shot actually sounded like 'knock out' (fire works). The victim was actually soaked in blood which looked like tomato puree - I'm sure they used tomato puree.

We actually have a long way to go, but, I couldn't do without my Nigerian movies - they are the bomb diggity! What are your thoughts, people?
