Tunde Kelani is the best, followed by Kunle Afolayan. Their movies speak volume.

There are certain directors you really need to start watching their moviessmiley. If you don't, you have no right to complain about Nigerian film industrysad

No director/producer on that list has successfully adapted plays and novels for movies like Tunde Kelani. He is just the best. At 68 no young director can measure with him.

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.
See http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/nollywood-is-a-genre-of-nigerian-film-not-the-entire-nigerian-film-industry-watch-al-jazeeras-new-documentary-20150729

I disagree with you! Is Hollywood a genre of the American film industry? Nollywood is all encompassing, stop being a separatist!

Back to you OP, all the directors are good but some should get a mention like: Emem Isong, Abbey Lanre, Tchidi Tchikere and Tade Ogidan.

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.

The mirror boy is just okay..Not a typical nollywood stuff. So is his Last flight to Abuja .. Truth is those who are keen on watching movies like his, do prefer Hollywood. When you talk of Nolllywood, Chidi Chikere,Teco Benson, Lancelot, Chico Ejiro etc

Chidi Chikere wasn't on the list. You first acknowledge or say you do not know these directors before giving us your favourite.

The hatred you people have towards other tribes is so appaulling and despicable.
