Why Are Nigerian Movies Popular?
« on: May 08, 2008, 04:03 AM »

As the home video industry continues to grow, film-hungry viewers beg for more, but what is being served up?  are these shoestring productions compromising too much on quality? Do you regularly visit the video kiosk to see if the next release has arrived or do simply watch them online? Or do they annoy you?

My answer: They lack creativity and I normally watch them online @ Africanseer. Majority of them annoy me.

They are especially popular in other African countries.
Nollywood is to Africa what Hollywood is to the world.

I don't know, there is just a 'Je ne sais quoi' about them, it's indescribable, I insult many of their movies yet continue to watch them, I'm hooked Wink
