Nigeria films and actors are so low standard that BBC is doing a film on and in Nigeria but yet half of all the main Nigerian characters in the movie are played by foreigner actors. Out of the other half that are Nigerians, about 80% grew up and reside outside Nigeria. All these foreign actors were used despite the fact they would have been more expensive wages-wise and logistics-wise. Hell, No, do I watch Nollywood movies. Talkless of "still watch". |

rokiatu: Promotions and criticisms are not enough to explain the difference between their industry and ours. The difference between their dramas now and five years ago is very little and the worst part is that most of the producers don't want to change, |

I havent watched one for a long time .Whats fun in watching a movie u already know how its going to end?.95% of the movies lack originality,badly edited,horrible storyline and what have u.Its just funny that that most of the Nigeria home made movies are big hits all over Africa. |

Ghanian Films are far better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i watched 1 n was really thrilled. |

I am very very selective when watching Nigerian movies. Most of them are like TV dramas. @silvaspecs Ghanaian films always want to copy Nigerian films. But their films are a bit better even though most of them suck. |

Hmmmm, Nigeria movies, i stopped watching Nigeria movies since 1997, cos you see the same sets of actors and actresses, they are there to off their cloths, shoes and their expensive fashions, and their moves is full of foreign, from the starting you will definitely know the tail, sometimes the camera used for recording is so poor |

Yea, wen its got Genevieve Nnaji in it. OF late most of the movies she's been featuring in seem to have all been sort of well written. They are improving. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by princekevo(m): 6:54pm On Mar 31, 2010 |

Yes, I do watch Nigerian movies and they've been great for a long while. Since about the year 2007, most of the Nigerian movies I've watched and have been watching have been wonderful esp. the Yoruba movie industry.For a while there had been a monopoly of the industry by their English counterparts but from the moment they decided to stand up for themselves,it's been a success story.Moreover, the English movie sector of Nollywood had been f**king up big time with "their advent of parts 1 - 4' of the same movie. The parts 1 & 2,have the same title while the parts 3 & 4 have another title entirely.Then we were not even sure which movie was the continuation of which and which was the beginning, that era was so annoyingly frustrating i tell you. Then things started picking up for them again when O J Productions ( the producers of so many English Village movies ) decided to start a sort of partnership with their Ghanian counterparts who were supposedly stars in their own rights.the story goes on & on but I'd rather stop here. Bottom Line, Nigerian movies are Great. More money hence more sophistication, more educated (verryyyy Literate) people, Goverment support and backing from private individuals have helped in Revitalising the industry, thus making it a great sorce of Revenue and Entertainment. To the Nollywood actors and actresses I say "Keep Up The Good Work, We Nigerians love and Appreciate you BIG TIME" |

@Shuku Shuku: This aspect of Nigerian movies sucks big time. Nollywood has been producing crappy films for years. I believe there are people that can do better works but are not given the opportunity or they are being frustrated. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by ibabalol: 9:03pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
if i still watch nigerian movies? Yes! i like to check out the asses and titties of the young actress speaking of that, Jenevieve looking hotter theses days oh! |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by MsTom(f): 9:20pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
sometimes, yes but prefer to watch the ones with traditional settings (both ibo and yoruba) . They have more originality and make more sense. In fact, I am looking out to watch ije and kajola. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by boomii(f): 9:53pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
Nope, I believe the producers have their inspiration from bollywood,all love no action, suspence, thriller, e.t.c. well the Yoruba ones are still better. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by tunnytox(m): 9:54pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
I still watch Nigerian films but only Yoruba ones especially those ones with enough comedians like Latin, Baba Ijesa and the rest. Its true that most of these films have several flaws and that's the real reason why I'll only watch those ones that are more or less like comedy just to have a laugh and no more, |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by hackney(m): 11:35pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
Let me be honest, i'll watch any film with mercy johnson in it. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by BloodShed1: 11:46pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
Horus: Exactly. Seeing Nigerian women and black women as a whole conform to the European beauty standard is actually disgusting to me. Very offensive. |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by eros(m): 11:54pm On Mar 31, 2010 |
Sometimes. Anyone that seems reasonable and intellectual. Although, i will watch any movie with Jim Iyke and Richard Mofe Damijo in it. |

The naija movie industry sucks! My family has placed a total ban on watching naija films. Reasons: I dont see any Good thing in this post,Lets take for example If your child is not doing well in school, what do you do? do you abandon him/her? no instead you encourage him/her and he will do more, we can not criticize our movie industry for it to do well, So please, our movie industry needs encouragement to perform well. I think it your post and the follower that sucks! |
Re: Do U Still Watch Nigerian Films? by Oking1(m): 6:23am On Apr 01, 2010 |

Well i don't like to be pessimistic,nigerian movies can always get better. Truth is foreign movies didn't start from the top so pls let's go easy on us.though i feel my intelligence is being insulted at times,i understand that nigeria is a developing country even in movies. |
