If you are a fan of Nollywood and the rest of Nigerian entertainment, you must have noticed a shift in recent times. The movies and music videos coming out of Nigeria's entertainment hub are more or less right now in competition with one another for daring levels of indecency, and the fans, at least the ones that consume these contents online seem to be liking it.

The problem with this is that with time, creativity will be lost and views and/or sales will be based on uncreative indecent acts in a movie or music clip. This came to my realization when I noticed a movie which was produced by Nollywood in partnership with it's Ghanaian counterpart Ghallywood. The movie is titled "Greedy S*x" which amassed around 1,500,000 million Youtube views in less than a Month. More producers trying to attract more eyeballs are throwing away their God given movie making talent and creativity just to achieve the same amount of views.

I am in no way criticizing the indecency, I don't want to judge anyone on here, but I believe it is dwarfing the growth of the entertainment industry in many ways. Here is one example, cutting a movie trailer if you ask any experienced movie maker is surely one of the creative parts of making a successful movie. It does the important task of selling a movie to the audience, in Hollywood at least. Right now these producers highlight the most indecent parts of their movie as the trailer. Simple. No thought put in the process anymore, just a collection of indecent parts of the movie and BOOM!!! You have yourself a trailer.

Some movies may not be even indecent enough but the producers are forced to make the trailers look that way just so viewers flock to view and the numbers grow. The thumbs of the videos are made to look as *** as possible top attract clicks. I think if this continues this way, there will be no need for any real creativity in the entertainment industry as clips like the one below, even though totally decent and creative, attract hundreds of thousands of views for all the wrong reasons.

I wonder what kind of clips they'll shoot in the future.
