Whatever! how many yoruba christians still believe in juju? It's the non yoruba christians that still practice that thing abeg and we have more christians in yorubaland than any other religious group so do the math.
non yoruba christians or non christian yorubas? lol.   you forgot non-mus-lims too.

Apparently it is still very common.  I think your focus is on Lagos as opposed to the villages where tradition is deeply rooted and most of these things are widely practiced.  Of course I'm not saying they shouldn't create more movies without the juju.

It's still there but not like the movie makers make it to be. Do you know that some yorubas cannot go near their town because of fear of juju and it's not as if they have proof for this juju but they've been watching too many yoruba movies.

blah blah juju is all I hear.  You are barking down the wrong tree.  It is not the responsibility of the movie industry to regulate our people.  They are there by-and-large to entertain -- and to some extent maybe educate us.   Film makers are influenced by revenue and are always looking to maximize their influx of cash.  If these kinds of films are what generate this large lump sum of money for them, nothing you say will be enough to convince them to put a stop to it.  Take a look at hollywood, how many superhero movies have they churned out in the past few years?  . . . Before you answer that question ask yourself if you have ever physically encountered any such superheroes in your life?  None, right?  Should they suddenly dismiss what makes them money based on conditions that it leads people to formulate bloated thoughts that there are sky-soaring superheroes out there waiting to save the world? Killing the juju in nollywood will not magically deflate the already-circulated belief that juju is our moniker.  Don't count on nollywood to save the day.
