Not just Naija... practically every country has better music videos than feature films. Without breaking it down they are easier to make.

This is simply a matter of the quality of technology employed in the production, like camera type n other things. Have u noticed that some of the TV dramas have more picture quality than our home videos? E.g Spider and the rest. Clarence peters has some good HD cameras wit alota creativiy in his brian. My onitsha brothers don't like improvements.

Cine: nigerian music vids are technically a lot better than Nigerian films but conceptually they're no better than average. They're better technically because they're much easier to make due to the fact they last 3-5 minutes, whereas as a film has to hold ones attention for 80-120 minutes.

Besides for a nice song, all one needs to find is a nice hotel room, some good looking scantily clad girls, a hit song, that's well shot, and that's it.

A movie needs a world class script, and to date there have been no world class scripts written in Nigeria, because there are no world class nigeria screen writers working in the industry yet. As things develope, we'll see world class movies being made here.

Sleekymag: I beg to differ. Well there maybe very few world class Nigerian screenwriters, but how can such scripts be produced or even come alive when we also need other world-class facilities. The thing is are there world-class directors, with world-class studio facilities, world-class equipment, and world-class crew and cast, backed by world-class producers, with world-class funds needed to produce these movies (a typical low budget Hollywood film cost a few million dollars). How long do you think a Nollywood producer can hold a supposed A-list actor for? How long does it take to do preproduction, actual shooting days, and post-production? And now the big question is, is there economic sense in investing such amount of money into such productions? What is the return on investment? How many people go to the cinemas to see nollywood films? How much of theatrical distribution income and non-theatrical distribution income would guarantee smiles on the faces of such investors? These should be the real questions, i think.

all4naija: I disagree with this. Movies are of better quality than music videos in most countries of the West.
