If u know only KUNLE AFOLAYAN as d only director, it means u are a product if 2000s.

Their level of tribalism can make them vote Obasanjo as the most handsome man in the world.

Only Lancelot and Teco are Nollywood directors.
TK, Biyi and Kunle are not Nollywood directors.
Nollywood is a genre of the Nigerian film industry and not all films made by Nigerian directors fall into the category of Nollywood movies.
As Nigerian hip hop is not Afro beat or Jazz in Nigerian music.

I don't get this.

Edit: After going through your link, I now understand your point.

I hardly watch nollywood movies ,but Tunde kelani directed movies always make me watch naija movies.even though most of his films are not in English,subtitle helps anyways... Kingsley ogoro is another guru.. Guess he has retired...kunle afolayan still has a long way to go

Wow! I enjoy the article. Howrver considering the distinction made by the article are you trying to say that TK's, Biyi's, and Kunle's movies are better quality than Lancelot's and Teco's

You are not serious

Have you watched Kunle and Kelani's movies before? If you haven't, you need to shut it or you could ask Orinkila ( he is not Yoruba but he will tell you what you need to know)

Obi Emelonye [Director &Writer: TheMirror Boy]. Obi is one of the brightest creative minds to come out of Nollywood.

I wonder why his name isn't on the list.

30 days in atlanta was directed by Robert Peters.

Tchidi Chikere is a consistent and good Nollywood director. Teco Benson has not been around for a while now but for those Nollywood fans who have been around since the late 90's definitely know no one can replace Teco Benson. His movies were a must watch. Ever watched Stupid Lol
