. That's because you've sworn never to watch nollywood again.. You need to start watching them, they've upped their game, from cinematography, soundtrack, editing and directing and they've started using good cameras not those video cassette recorder grin

If I ask you when last Baba Suwe and iya rainbow acted in a movie, you wouldn't be able to tell me. Why you touts speak on a movie industry you know nothing about makes me pity you.

Even those two have more acting power in their fingertips than in the yeye nominated English films.
