The action of the ghanian government + that of nollyhood are both in the right direction. It is good for the industry. May be it's time the actors/actresses begin to increase their fee.

It is about time we begin to put these narcissistic countries in their place. We have allowed Ghanaians to work here without inhibition in time past. They should not bite the fingers that literally fed them (and i dare say are still feeding them through the influx of our students who are paying fees and keeping their universities awash with Nigerian cash).

I view this as a Very Childish Response. Even if Nigeria Stands still for a hundred years (God Forbid), Ghana will still not catch up with Nigeria. Nollywood should have just ignored their Paranoia.

I can officially say this is the dumbest guy on Nairaland. You mean u ran away from your best universities in Nigeria to Ghana's mediocre universities just to feed them with cash? U need to be checked

Nigerian actors are joker.  you all went to Ghana to develop thier country and economy, and you expect Ghania to fold their hands and allow lawess people like Nigerians to distroy their economy. NO, they don't need Nigerians in Ghana again that is the message. If Nigeria actors request for N250,000.00 form foreign or Ghana actor before they can act in Nigeria then Nigeria actor is a joker,  How much do you even pay Nigeria actor talkless of Ghana actor?

This Nigeria-Ghana rivalry is getting out of hand  Normally, Nigerians should not be bothered about Ghana's seeming economic growth. Ghana and Nigeria are light years apart in potentials and intelligence. I don't want to join issues with anyone here, but I've come across some nasty Ghanaians in Britain. These guys have carried their animosity towards Nigerians to Britain. The other day, two of them of them were arguing with me that their football is more developed and better than that of Nigeria. I listened to what they had to say before giving them my response. I told them- ' Ghana's football is on the rise because of the clueless football executives we have in Nigeria. When it comes to individual soccer talent, Nigeria is far ahead of Ghana. Ghana's football revolution started in 2005 but you've not won the African Nations Cup since then. If Nigeria employs a solid coach in 2010 and reforms the NFF, the Super Eagles will win the next African Nations Cup in 2012.'  While I do not support the rabid increase in participatory fees by Nigerian Film Bodies, Ghanaians have to realize that Nigeria will soon get her acts together. Nigeria is the powerhouse of West Africa. When the sleeping giant wakes up, Ghana will catch cold a thousand times  Cheers.

1. Nigeria might be a third world country but there are many areas in Nigeria that developed in all terms. I won't talk about Abuja here. I will be going too far by doing that. Alagbaka in Akure and Jericho in Ibadan are residential and business/industrial areas that Ghanaians will be very envious of. Some areas of Kaduna are very developed and the people living in these areas are middle class and Government workers.
2. How many international musicians and actors of Ghanaian origin exist compared to Nigeria? We have Sade Adu, Ayo, Seal, Tunde Baiyewu et al. Nneka Egbuna,  a Nigerian-German musician is holding the world spellbound at the moment. The remix of her song 'Heartbeat' features Nas.
3. You can't even compare the graphical quality of Nigerian Magazines and Newspapers to those of Ghana. Nigerians only need to care about one another. Then the Federal Government has to start investing in modern infrastructure and strive to provide 24 hours power supply. Nigeria has all it takes to becoming Africa's industrial powerhouse. Ghana is nowhere near Nigeria in reality. Cheers.

In a direct reaction to that ugly development, heads of Guilds of the Nigerian motion picture industry under the aegis of Coalition of Nollywood Guilds and Association(CONGA) last Tuesday rolled out stringent measures for foreign actors working in Nigeria.
The coalition said, the new guidelines are put in place to protect the Nigerian movie industry as well as regulate the activities of foreign practitioners in the country.

Meanwhile, reacting to this development, Director-General of the Nigerian Film Corporation, Mr Afolabi Adesanya, when contacted distanced his establishment from the new policy, saying “they are on their own.”
However, while the new guidelines are a welcome development to the industry, observed have expressed reservation over a possible clash of interest coupled with disagreement with the regulatory bodies.
