Why do all nigerian movie scripts require the actors to cough/ hyperventilate to show they are about to die? was just wondering if it does happen in real life and i'm unaware

*chuckle*

To show that they are going to die

you know it's a movie so they have to add theatrics to it, some american movies do it too

lol, @topic. i wonder d same thing. funny, huh?

Dont be such a critic,appreciate ur people,

You pay attention to alot of detail, hey,
But I agree with you, the Nigerian movies I have seen I have seen it

Lmao! Typically Nigerian

They generally belief that cough is the highest killer in subsaharan africa.

Because in almost every Nigerian film, people die mostly by food poisoning. And u know how food poisoning victims die. . . By coughing!
Lol.

they cough because they are bantu...looool

Experience is the best teacher. Just try taking your life and let's see why. Don't forget to video yourself

That's because you only buy pirated copies. Start buying the authentic discs and you'll see that they actually smile to death.

Go and Ask Zeb Ejiro and other Nollywoods producers and directors

Poster you will know if you drink otapiapia.

Poster you will know if you drink otapiapia. And don't forget to tell us how it feels.

You be bad guy....and spot on. I love your post

Have u eva been on a sick bed to watch someone die?
If u have, u wil realise that is haw many die especialy d elderly ones. The film industry is only acting what happens in life so lets not criticise them .
Coughing occurs wen d victim is choked or short of breath and tries to take in air.
Morever, it doesnt only hapen in nigeria film.i have watchd dis occurance in bollywood, hollywood and in chinese film(chollywood;hope am right)

I can't spend my two cents on a Nollywood export! They put too much effort into impressing their audiance and at the end of d day mess d whole thang up. The most anoying part is that not a single movie is out their without a scene in which u find two or more gurls querellin! The quality of the audio makes it sound like agitated monkeys that have just spotted a big python! Those of you who do natgeo wild, or animal planet would know what im talking about.

In real life? No but in Nollywood world? Yes cos its an accepted practice in the Nollywood code of conduct/practice so if u don't like it, join them nd move a motion against the practice, make sure u get number to back u.

That cough is normally attack 4rm d village! Or if d person dies 4rm spiritual attack
