na small small. i feel you though. i hardly watch nollywood movies bc they dont impress me. poor quality etc. but look at it another way, go watch the 1993 movie "living in bondage". you'll see that they have improved a lot. they improved bc the nigerian people supported them. many africans watch nigerian movies.
this means if we support our own, they will improve with time.

It is very simple. They should go abroad and learn how to shoot good movies. Especially in the aspect of effect. That's what makes movies interesting. I'm thinking you have seen lots of super hero movies. Let's take Smallville as an example. The effects in that movie are outta this world. And it looks so real. Now that's a movie. Do you also know that accidents happen almost the same way in Nigeria movies. The car will be going from left to right on the main road after some mins it'll stop beside the Bush. Then they'll start singing and showing dead bodies. And you won't see a single dent on the car.

We are getting there.

I pray oooooo. When una don reach there kindly alert me so that I'll start watching again.

It's just matter of time tho

It's late already, plus even Nollywood is influenced by Hollywood.

if they start working towards that coupled with the govt. exerting it's influence politically, militarilly, economically and technology in Africa, then we can boast of being the supreme African power

I believe a lot of things too, however, if you aren't stating that as a fact, say so, cos I'll be honest though, I do not know this as matter of fact, I'm just applying common sense here, I've never heard anyone made reference to 1200naira as 'thousands' of naira, or 110 years being called 'hundreds' of years, just saying bro.

I believe anything above 1 should be pluralised... Look at Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead man chest and On stranger tides are above the 1 billion dollar mark. The avenger: age of ultron, Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows, Frozen, Transformers, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, and the others.

You know 1.xx billion can be called billions? So we can clear out on issue of plural.

Stop being arrogant and silly @ the same time. Where did I make mention of the Yoruba movie as being part of nollywood?
My point is not about Yoruba movies and it's relationship with nollywood,but u claiming nollywood belongs to ndi watever sounds childish and myopic and that's why I gave you short list of nollywood actors that ain't igbo and by far better and more popular than the igbos we have in nollywood.

NB: stop claiming what is collectively owned and supported by every tribe in Nigeria,Igbos contribute as much as other tribes do in Nollywood. And please what is happening to pure igbo speaking movies? How widely accepted is it?
The last time I checked Kunle Afolayan and Funke Akidele (Jenifa) are still both yorubas. Of which you can't overstress their contributions to nollywood in the international market and cinemas.[s][/s]

Igbos created Nollywood and it belongs to Igbos. your so called Funke is a Yorubawood actress. Your Kunle or whatever met a booming Nollywood industry.
Hausa have their Kanny wood, Igbos own Nollywood, so go and grow una own Yorubawood industry and stop doing attache by force to an Industry you never contributed towards its growth.

What can I say...but the way my east Africans like nollywood ehn

Stop being sarcastic,even Amagic Hausa got the nod ahead of Amagic Igbo which came last. Or your fish mind thinks only igbos represent in english movies? Infact most legends of nollywood ain't igbo.
Olu Jacobs
Joke silva
Rita dominic
Desmond eliot
Mercy Johnson
Ini edo
Omotola
Segun arinze,etc
NB other tribes put as much as the igbos in nollywood. But when it comes to native language speaking movies Yoruba,Hausa then Igbo comes in that order.

@bolded....haven't you heard the popular adage "SAVE THE BEST FOR THE LAST"

oboy3:
Dont you think you are a lil bit old to be exhibiting '' Ostrich Wisdom''?

Be honest,when you hear the mention of Nollywood,what comes to your mind?

Heck,your actors have even refused to called Nollywood actors,Nairaland can bear me witness,when reporting stories about yoruba or Hausa actors,it is either ''yoruba actor baba suwe or kannywood actor blah blah blah,duh duh duh,they are never called nollywood actors

now Nollywood is being recognise internationally,una want to claim relationship,Ndi ori

Don't mind the bigot!
