Exactly. This writer sabi us well. Most Nollywood movies are shot in less than a week with very fluid scripts.

I just want us to improve on professionalism. Our movies insult the intelligence of the viewers especially when it comes to special effects, sound quality and action scenes.

I cannot forget the terrible Spider Girl trailer I saw on nairaland a while ago. I was so embarrassed that such a movie originated from my country.

Let us pursue excellence now that we are a household name in Africa.

Please define a Nigerian box office movie.

Nollywood is dying because we refuse to introduce professionalism into it. Its becoming stale with its boring storylines

Stop being silly! There are many people of minority tribes that have made it big in Nollywood.

Besides whether you buy it or not, the market has already been created across African continent and beyond

repogirl:
you really think so? There are still a few good ones out there.


Anyway if Nollywood producers entered the Nairaland lit. Section, they would find quite a few intriguing stories that deserve to be made into movies (including mine ) but alas these producers prefer a wack a'ss script to quality content.

People will watch whatever recycled crap they keep producing anyway, so why bother paying for quality content?

A situation where a movie is shot for 2weeks tells you the quality you will get there.

I'm a fan of Kunle though aside his bigotry which makes him stupid but he is a professional to the core with his movies.


The scripts in our movies are outdated and it shows research are not done when writing it which makes the story line boring and drab. I will visit the lit section to know if I can get good writers to link them with my friend.

. Who says Nollywood is dying? The richest man in Nigerian entertainment industry, Jason Njoku of iROKO TV is worth more than N10 billion and Afrinolly launched the largest GSM market for Nollywood. Nollywood has been reloaded!

That's what is called true independence!. When we can create our own entertainment industry(movies, music) without any need of western solution.

We also need to repeat that feat by producing everything we need, at least 80% of our needs. And most importantly, we also need to do it in education. We must create our own model of education. In fact, that's the real koko!.

This article is not reflective on the present Nollywood in relations to the Nigerian society today.
I do not want to make hasty generalisations, but many, no most of my friends(youths) don't watch Nollywood movies but they can all attest that their mothers are keen on it.
Following this personal observation, can I say that the teenagers and youths of today do not care much for local movies? That only the advanced people, mainly the females, waste their time on these movies?
I think yes.
Wrote all that to say, if nothing is done about the awfully scripted, terribly acted, cluelessly directed, etc, movies, it will, in the nearest future, lose its patronage, in Nigeria, at least, if not everywhere else.

na by volume of production abi quality of it. garbage in and out#Nollywood

Pls can somebody summarize dis epistle for me?

Lol stoopid write up. Though they praised nollywood but the article is full of crap



They said nollywood released 2500 movies last year? Molly an industry that releases no less than 100 movies a week

. President Muhammadu Buhari loves Kannywood. Kannywood produces 58% of Nigerian movies.

I prefer the Yoruba movies. Their scenes and dialogue are far more believable than their 'English' speaking colleagues.

bastard....watch ur useless films.

A single hit American Hollywood movie will gross billion of dollars, quite enough to take care of all the profits generated by Nigerian Nelly wood movies combined.

We need to look into why?

All the same, Nollywood is trying, especially, as an African influence.

Nigerian, I am.

Can you write scripts too? Like screenplays? My friend and I are planning to shoot a short movie (like 25 minutes) in April...maybe we can work together. What genre do you write in?

I got bored watching home videos especially those types the story line revolves around kingdoms, princes and princess in love etc. Very dry.
I later discovered yoruba home videos and I have being hooked on it since then. The story lines are original, and the moral lessons aren't the ones you can forget in a hurry. I am already learning the language and the culture of the yoruba's and I really love it. So I recommend yoruba home videos for anyone who is bored of the usual english films.
