Lmao..and the course should last for 4whole years I guess...I'm also guessing the lecturers will be...okay

A welcome development.

Remember back in the days theatre artists were only regarded as wayward and unserious? Now they're the ones achieving fame and making millions from endorsement deals.

The industry needs more analysts and constructive critics and a move like this would create the new breed who would put nollywood on a level playing field to meet international standards.
