There are the cinema actors who only act cinema-bound movies, not home videos. These guys make up the New Nollywood, names like Nse Ikpe-Etim, Omoni Oboli, O.C Ukeje, Damilola Adegbite, Belinda Effah(she was 'SIMI in Tales of Eve), Joseph Benjamin, Alex Ekubo, Bryan Okwara, Beverly Nayah, Chris Attoh. If stingy Nigerians bother to watch these guys, they'll find top notch movies, note that none of them has more than 10 movies to their names. The old soldiers like Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola, Stephanie Okereke, Rita Dominic, Uche Jumbo, Ramsey Noah, Jim Iyke, Michael Majid, Ini Edo and Desmond Elliot have joined this elite crew just so you don't miss them, Ramsey for instance has only been in about 4 movies the past 3 years. Nollywood is changing. |

the problem is not just with the producers or the actor, we the fans are the mjor problem. how many nigerian will purchase a movie that featured only unknown stars?nobody!(no matter how great the story line & production quality are) we always want to see established stars in every movie forgetting seeing one particular actor in every movie will make u get tired of the actor the problem with producers is no one want to base his faith on an up & coming actor they all go 4 already established ones so as to sell their movie forgetting that kids like harry potter was a nobody wen he was giving a leading role in that movie 1 Like |

Slickest: As a consistent viewer of both Nolly and Hollywood works(ignoring Bollywood), it saddens my heart when I hear or see our own Nigerian stars surrounded by their own fans and not celebrated like their Holly counterparts, recently I heard our very own Jim Iyke visited an African country and he was well welcomed, I was happy until I saw a comment from someone who said we do not see what others see in our own. I felt it is something normal not to value something belonging to you since you see it everyday, that triggered my thought to view more widely why we do not value our very own, it is not the viewers/fans fault that they just walk by when told a star is around, it is not their fault that they insult other people who causes stampede just to see a nigerian star. What formerly puzzles me was why hollywood actors/actresses are still celebrated till date by their fans even when they live with them, some even go as far as fainting when they are seen, some keep their autographs as souvenirs in their homes to show they've met with the stars *i don't imagine a nigerian fighting for an autograph and keeping it*. you are very much on point. i stopped watching crappy Nigerian home videos a long time ago. i admire people like Omoni Oboli who has decided to stick to intertional standards. She may not be making as much as the INi Edos but she is to me a better actress. |

Brethren you lie not! Okey Igwe (Ahanna) acted in only one movie (Rattlesnake), and it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to forget him! Oh God, Isi-Kotebu, if you read this, I am ready to turn gay for you! I love you, Agwo nwa-mama!! ♡♥ Over-exposure is counter-productive in most cases, even (surprisingly) in many commercial branding scenarios. If we take literature for example, the most impactful historical and contemporary statements have always been laconic in nature.. Less is more. 2 Likes |

It is more of a Nigerian problem. We never celebrate anything from Nigeria. Too much hate, envy, and that dirty feeling of "I can do it better if I was the one". A friend of mine was busy criticizing Chimamanda that she's not really special but just had opportunity, but Americans are busy giving her awards. Some of us may never know our worth until we leave this country 1 Like |

Csami: Yep u got some right but not all. It is not about numbers but the quality of what they produce. Hollywood take their sweet time putting everything in place just to give the audience a perfect view for their money but what we get from nollywood are movies that lacks quality, even to make person disappear na war. Nollywood still has a long way to go. Wily-wily no disapear? |

Finally! Some fine analogy of our very own Nollywood. Nollywood has some deep rooted issues of which one of them is wat the op posted above. Producers churn out hundreds of low quality movies in a month just because they want to make profits. Our movie storylines are wack and annoying. We either do a spoof on a popular western movie or we just bring out an incredibly ridiculous story. Another issue that keeps pegging Nollywood back is that our actors CAN'T ACT. Must you shout in a movie when saying your lines? Most of our actors/actresses just think acting is about shouting and making overly exaggerated expressions. Character development is poor. Actors don't take out time to really embed themselves in their characters and make those characters their own. Cinematography, editing, lighting and sound, all very poor. But in the midst of these, there are still some shining lights in the industry. People on whom the fate of Nollywood somewhat rests. Actors like Ramsey Nouah, Olu Jacobs, Genevieve Nnaji, Nse Ikpe Etim, O.C Ukeje, etc continue to deliver riveting performances in the midst of underdeveloped scripts and poor production circumstances. Producers like Tunde Kelani, Jeta Amata, etc have also carved a niche for themselves in bringing out top quality movies. Another bane of the industry is inadequate financing. The difference is clear for all to see in movies such as 'Last Flight to Abuja' and 'Phone Swap' that were sponsored by a Bank and Telecommunications giant respectively. One only hopes that the recent grant given by the federal government to the industry is spared by our ever endemic corruption. 2 Likes |

i think d problem is the pay, in hollywood they are paid millions of dollars for a single movie, in nollywood they get peanuts, hence d actors need to act in several movies to make d big bucks.... we celebrate mediocrity in Nigeria tho, attention is paid to details in hollywood |

Rawpidgin: the problem is not just with the producers or the actor, we the fans are the mjor problem.Bro I get u but I don't agree with u, the viewers are not to blame for their mediocrity, if they produce quality movies who cares who the star is, nigerians love good movies, I have been to the cinemas countless times and I have seen nigerians pay any amount to get entertained, who knew the star in incredible hulk, as a nija viewer the theme is "Let's get entertained" not hiss at the end of a movie...quality mattaz alot |

Here we go again....how can Arnold be a big celebrity with only 40 movies and our own actors have more than 200 and they are not? That's the problem with Nollywood...quantity over quality. Arnold became superstar thanks to Terminator...an excellent movie and how convincing he played the lead role. Samuel Jackson I guess appeared in at least 100 movies and is a celebrity...again...not because of the number of movies. Hollywood=movies...professional. Nollywood=films...amateur. We should stop comparing the two. The cream of Nollywood films are the few real celebrities...celebrated far more abroad because of their talent and choice of films...quality over quantity.I think the biggest celebrity abroad is Genevieve ....but...locally too many try as they may...can never see why she should be. |
Re: Nollywood Actors & Actresses' Value by chiefbatiatus(m): 9:00pm On Dec 18, 2013 |
In america acting is a very professional career, u dont go into acting there because u couldnt get a job. And actors there are very real with respect to the roles they act. Have you read about the IQ of kate winslet? Which got her the role in the movie 'THE READER?`. Are u aware that hugh jackman has been at the gym for 1yr now preparing for the next installment of x-men? So u see these guys become so good at the preparation they wow the audience. So over there the actors are good both on screen and on ground. Here its the opposite, a gunman on screen is obviously not an gunman. A secondary sch student role often times is acted by over 40yrs old actors. Dont ever compare hollywood actors with these ones here abeg 1 Like |
