A church rat or a poor man can afford a well furnished apartment and still be starving

lmao@ 30 year hair do

lovely

A Nollywood actress is not a true Nollywood actress unless she wears at least one or two horrendous wigs per film (please refer to the film "Abuja connection" for some examples).

A true Nollywood movie has a background theme song whose lyrics summarize the whole film and even let you know how it ends, in advance.

In a true Nollywood movie, you will see at least one close up shot of an actor's shoes, for no reason. They will do this whether the shoe looks good or not.

A true Nollywood film will contain at least one unlikely twist and many unrealistic coincidences (e.g. the main character's girlfriend turns out to be his sister, and the gateman turns out to be his father).

its not fair to nollywood, describing all the features without giving any quotes

- in any nollywood "home video", if a man is sick and talking of dying, the lady (whose parents oppose the relationship or vice versa) will always make the statement "don't talk like that"
- jim iyke will always attempt to kiss/hug/handle/harass the main female character
- almost every "babalawo" based movie ends with victory in Jesus Christ.
- how come they ALWAYS make love with their clothes on, under the sheets, even in the village with our HOT weather.
- when someone is recounting an experience, he/she must always pause about 5 seconds and stare into the camera while the "remembered" scene loads
- how come when a character remembers a previous experience, it is never from their point of view.

Can someone tell me to stop laughing out loud.

let me pick put the ones that`s killing me most:

- when someone is recounting an experience, he/she must always pause about 5 seconds and stare into the camera while the "remembered" scene loads

- A church rat or a poor man can afford a well furnished apartment and still be starving

- If jim iyke is from a poor family, he is self made who wants to marry a rich man's daughter. And if he is from a rich family, he is in love with a poor girl but his parents won't alloy him to marry her. Which ever way, he ends up marrying the girl against all oppositions

- A son and his father look the same age. e.g. Nkem Owoh (son), Sam Loco (father).


- When a man is about to throw his wife out of the house, her bags are always already packed and ready to go.

In Nigerian movies, Pat Ozokwor is the N0. 1 bad wife, bad mother, and bad Stepmother,D

Nkem Owoh is always the Village Champion; D , my point is that some actors/actress have special and personalized roles 

the worst thing about nollywood is that their movies are all the same.

I LOVE PATIENCE OZOKWOR

but she doesnt love nor knoe you
