24 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT FROM NOLLYWOOD

1. Every problem you have is spiritual.

2. In every romance movie, someone must die.

3. It is possible to hit a person without actually touching them!

4. Anyone who gets hit by a car dies immediately.

5. Poisoned food always tastes better.

6. The best way to make money is by visiting a babalawo/joining a
cult/sleeping with rich men.

7. One of a pair of twins (identical or not) is born evil.

8. There is never an end to your suffering, except death!

9. With a pastor, all things are possible.

10. A movie can be titled anything such as:

*The boy is mine, The girl is yours, The child is theirs

* Face me, I face you

* Kill me,I kill you,

* Two cockroaches in Africa

*Two rats,

*Spanner,

*Calculator,

*Computer

*The Driver

*Igala,

*Ijele,

*Olodo,

*Mumu,

*Wawa,

*Igodo,

*Igudu

*Shigidi

*Wakadugu

11. A movie has not been made if at least one actor/actress has not
twisted his/her lips to speak wrong phonetics.

12,  You are in love. You want to take your girl out and the best
place you take her to is:

*Mr. Biggs/Tantalizers: where you'll most probably see an ex while
feeding each other.

*The beach: where it is imperative that you ride a donkey and carry
her playfully.

*Or the best: take her to buy some new ugly clothes.

13. An Igbo movie has been made if
* You visit a babalawo
* A fleet of cars is shown off at regular intervals for a total of
half of the movie time.
* Kanayo O Kanayo is in the movie. Pete Udochie is also there too!
* To get rich it is mandatory you join a cult

14. Gun shots and knock-outs sound the same!

15. Sometimes the title has absolutely nothing to do with the movie
and other times, once you read the
title and see the poster you know it all!!! (Also the soundtrack
gives you a headache because it just
narrates the whole story repeatedly - so much for suspense and
intrigue!)

16. A love story has not been produced if it does not have one or
two of the following actresses-
* Stella Damasus
* Stephanie Okereke
* Genevieve Nnaji
* Omotola Jalade
* Rita Dominic

17. The police are extremely 'efficient' unlike their counterparts
in real life.

18. An actress can wear the same hairdo for more than 3 years and
even in longer flashbacks.

19. It is permissible to wear very dark shades at night!

20. When you are shot in the chest, it really doesn't matter; your
head will be bandaged! Same for your legs!

21. When advertising a movie, you really should shout because, 
people are deaf?

22. When you are extremely poor, you will still be able to afford-
very good furniture, T.V., but you won't be able to send your kids
to school.

23. Most especially in Yoruba movies, your gateman must be
inefficient and comical. He MUST dress like a
freak, be rude to all your visitors and never mind his business.

24. My personal favorite- the bad guy always dies or gets caught by
none other than the police!

Future belongs to those,who believe in the beauty of their DREAMS.
