Where Have The Classic Nigerian Movies Gone?
« on: June 14, 2006, 12:54 PM »

I started research work on Nigerian movies recently, and it's quite shocking (sad actually) to discover that the good old Nigerian movies (Things Fall Apart featuring Pete Edochie for example) and any information on them for that matter is hard to come by.  Hollywood movies produced in the 60s and 70s are still being sold in the stores today, what what happened to ours??

Anyway, if any  one has seen either of the movies below, please could you provide me with a brief synopsis.

1)The promise (2002, directed by Kabat Esosa Egbon. I think it featured Pete Edochie)
2)President's daughter (2001,  directed by Chico Ejiro ).

Thank you.

I'm wondering too, really sad how they do things back there,

i use the blockbuster here to look for some old movies that i love, some i saw some i couldn't,

then i joined/signed up for the Netflix and fiam, lots of old movies there, and am enjoying it so far.

I just got done watching ''Fame''. I used to watch it back then in Nigeria as a kid and loved it. Almost 20years later, I was able to rent all of them and watch them all over. I still got some old nice movies on my list there in Netflix. Many european, indian and foreign films. My point is if they can have real old movies around, what can Nigeria have a collection of such??

I have been looking to watch nigeria classic movies (yoruba, hausa, igbo, edo and english) so far no result,

What is the problem sef?
