DaVinChiSam: It will. But first before it attracts outsiders the insiders also have to play their parts. Mayhaps if we all join in to support, promote, advertise it to the outside world then hopefully we can achieve this feat. [b]What am I talking about? Buy original films, watch nigerian films at the cinema etc. [/b]Thanks@ Bolded is a very good point for starters. Let's be honest... there are a ton of threads and comments that show we think piracy-freebies na our birthright - that is just so wrong. If we want a better Nigeria we need to stop waiting for the ever-elusive and possibly fictional 'them' and be the ones to start change - you, me, we. 2 Likes |

Irrespective of what you may have on the ground, tourism cannot grow in Nigeria until we have organised cities. How do you Expect a visitor to survive in a place like Lagos for example? Irrespective of what the present government has done, Lagos is still not a city for a tourist Almost all our cities are disorganised, you have to be a Nigerian before you can know how to move around. 2 Likes |

Hollywood is an actual Place that has been made into the seat of American Movie production. Nollywood is not a place but a borrowed acronym to describe the Nigerian Movie 'industry'. 2 Likes |

Rubbish. Nollywood is Hollywood wannabe. Suffering from copycat syndrome. As far as I'm concern nollywood should stop the over ambiguous ambition. If they really want to achieve a greater success, they should start by changing the industry name. From nollywood to Nigerian cenima. The name nollywood, made the industry look so mediocre, cabaret and bland. That is why the industry is not being taking seriously in highly developed countries. That name "nollywood" should be changed. 2 Likes |

Onyegecha:. No I disagree ma. You call it fraud, I call trying to get back the money you invested. Do not forget Filmmaking is also a business, People actually Invest Money, lemme reiterate, people Use personal monies to fund/finance these productions, so you expect after investing millions then they sale it a hundred naira per CD for you which ends up being pirated and sold for less? No ma, the reason they stretch it, albeit unreasonably sometimes is to recoup money invested in it so as to hopefully make another one. There are some films that sold one off, tell me pray Madam/sire how many you bought? |

The topic says Nollywood Can do it and not Nollywood Has done it. Anyone who says Nollywood cannot do it is not following global economic reports on emerging markets. Nigeria has a booming hospitality industry with new five star hotels springing up every year in Lagos and the Eko Atlantic City is in progress. Nollywood made a young man who had less than US$1 in his total bank accounts in 2010 to become the richest man in Nollywood with over US$30 million in his bank accounts in 2014 and still making more millions of dollars every year. The IMAX Corporation signed a 10 years agreement with a major stakeholder in Nollywood for the establishment of IMAX cinemas in Nigeria starting with the proposed IMAX Festac Plaza to be built in Festac Town, Lagos. Nollywood boosted the rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Nigeria to make the country Africa’s largest economy under “Motion pictures, sound recording and music production,” with a huge increase of N9 trillion in size. Analysts stated Nollywood made about N1.72 trillion in 2013.

Let us make informed comments based on the booming hospitality industry that is the vehicle of tourism and which is good for us to upgrade the Nigerian film industry for film tourism. Some people are commenting from wrong perspectives. I mentioned the film adaptation of Soyinka's "Aké: The Years of Childhood" which can come with a theme park on the location of the film in Abeokuta and that will certainly attract local and international tourists to visit the scenic backgrounds of the childhood of the first black Nobel laureate in Literature. |

There are some films that sold one off, tell me pray Madam/sire how many you bought? My dear, you are right. They invested money and have to recoup, but they don't have to punish their customers to do so. Many people resort to renting the films, dubbing them or doing any other thing to avoid being exploited in this manner. As a matter of fact, it is extreme patriotism that has made many people to keep patronizing Nigerian movies when we can buy a Philippine film with less than half the amount for part one and two of a Nigerian movie(45-50 minutes) and keep yourself busy and entertained for days. Too much of everything is bad. They should appreciate and not exploit their fans. |

Orikinla: Let us make informed comments based on the booming hospitality industry that is the vehicle of tourism and which is good for us to upgrade the Nigerian film industry for film tourism. That is all well and good. This is the first thing Wiki says about tourism in Nigeria - "Tourism in Nigeria centers largely on events, due to the country's ample amount of ethnic groups, but also includes rain forests, savannah, waterfalls, and other natural attractions.[1] The industry, unfortunately, suffers from the country's poor electricity, roads, and water quality". Simple fact; despite our 'patriotism' Nigeria is in no shape for the sort of large scale tourism that this thread is about. There will not be a mass influx of tourists to Nigeria until most places in the world look at Nigeria as a pretty safe place. No idea how to do the 'quote' thing but this is a pretty truthful article from the Guardian - http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jun/29/nigeria-tourism-safe-to-travel
The bolded sentence says a lot - We 'presently' have no package to sell to anyone. And the last sentence hits the nail on the head - It's just not a 'conventional' tourist destination and won't be anytime soon. This is not a "It will happen today thing". I personally still stick by it being decades away. |
