Someone is cheating on a spouse Someone will be violently slapped Magic will either be the cause of the problem or the solution or BOTH The actress changes between part 1 and part 3 with no explanation The bad characters are completely evil and the good characters are completely good, one track personalities Inexplicably the Nigeria in the movies is one where everyone is upper middle class and drives nice cars Poverty is only in villages and it will be overcome by moving to the city or marrying a wealthy stranger 7 Likes |

- the same song is played ON and ON and ON throughout the movie (whether it is an action/love/drama scene) - the mic from the audio guy is either visible or the shadow of that said mic is visible. - scenes where someone is driving out and about that lasts for 3mins or more, with NO DIALOGUE whatsoever. - people shouting so loud that the audio is cracking. - 3-4hrs movies that could have been shot in 1hr or less, and make as much sense. - nightclubs where there are only about 10-20 people (is it that difficult to get extras in Nigeria?) - plenty of swimming pools around but never seen any women swimming. its either A) they all cant swim, or B) the look of that actress after being under the water would be - every scene inside homes are with curtain closed. - mercy Johnson crying........has anyone seen a movie where she DIDNT cry? you would think, crying is the only thing she can do. 5 Likes |

(1)You can predict the movie by mere looking at the DVD casing. (2)You already know where the movie is headed in the first 60 secs of viewing. (3)The movie ALWAYS ends with "To God be the glory" (4)The actors waste unnecessary time to perform an act that shouldn't take more than a fraction of a second e.g An actor will spend fifteen good minutes of his time threatening to kill someone, spend another five minutes looking for his gun (while the mumu victim will stand there watching) and then spend another ten minutes shouting "I WILL KILL YOU TODAY" after which he tots his gun (the sound is often times not in sequence with the trigger pull) and then the victim screams " I AM DEAD, YOU HAVE KILLED ME, I AM DYING" and then he dies. (4)It's always about an evil mother-in-law,an ungrateful son (usually acted by Jim Iyke) or a occultic/ritual societies who miraculously mint money from human blood (5)The typical Nigerian home video is extremely boring and the producers don't help matters by extending it to PART TWO,PART THREE,PART FOUR,PART FIVE AND PART SIX (to be contd). Funny thing is everything in that movie can be acted in 20mins if it was directed on American soil. (6)Most women just lovvvveeeee Nigerian home videos and i wonder why. Perhaps its because it feeds their emotions e.g The "wicked" husband of that "innocent" woman finally got what he "deserved" in the end OR the mother in law mistakenly ate the poison she prepared for the wife (Women just love these movies...especially the married ones and their reasons aren't far fetched).

When at the end of the movie, a pastor and his team prays and the wiked/evil person manifests, confesses and then drops dead. . . To god be the glory. This always happens when the director/producers have run out of ways to end the movie. |
