Many many good actors went under because of piracy problem.

A disgraceful country.

Thanks for the info on Kanayo O. Kanayo's
early acting cameo appearances in the 1980s
in Enugu. You are the FIRST person that I will
be revealing some very deep details and shor
document extracts to about the origins of
the Nigerian movie industry in order to
SMASH and correct some annoying historical
distortions or URBAN LEGENDS!


The irritating terminology called "Nollywood"
was first used in 2002 by Matt Steinglass an American
Journalist who did NOT have
a deep knowledge about the origins of
the Nigerian movie industry.



The Nigerian movie industry has
been in existence for decades [the 1950s] before
the first film to be packaged on home video
cassetes in Nigeria [Soso Meji] was produced in the Yoruba
movie industry in 1988 by Ade Ajiboye!


The movie entitled
"Soso Meji" was produced by Mr. Ade Jiboye and
it was also screened at the cinemas in Lagos.
In 1989, the late Prince Alade Aromire who
died in a car crash in Lagos also produced
"Ekun" on VHS home video. These early home
videos and the cinema screenings in
Lagos were very popular and sold out!
There were several VHS home videos and cinema
screenings in between 1988 and 1992
in the Yoruba genre of the Nigerian movie
industry with Lagos as the entertainment
capital.


In 1992, Kenneth Nnebue did an Ibo film
entitled Living in Bondage part1. It was the first Ibo
home video packaged in VHS video cassetes and the part2 came out in 1993.


Kenneth Nnebue gave CREDIT to the Indian
movie industry and the Yoruba movie industry which
is a subset of the Nigerian movie industry
for INSPIRING him to be the pioneer producer
of the first Ibo language home video.
The film was supposed to have been done
in Yoruba language, and he had taken his script and was in touch with some Yoruba language home video producers but he decided to take the risk by taking
the script and did it in Ibo. He said all these
in an interview
in a 1997 edition of ThisDay Newspapers
which is still in my procession/library
collection.


Kenneth Nnebue NEVER at any time claimed that
"Living in Bondage" was the beginning of
the Nigerian movie industry. It is people
who didn't know how he started his career by understudying the Yoruba language movie
producers of the cinema and home videos
from 1988 in Lagos that mangled up the
history.


It is a SHAME that history is not being
taken seriously by people in Nigeria, that is why this FALSEHOOD has been circulated by bloggers
and on Social Media by those who were NOT
born in the 1960s/1970s/1980s when
Nigerian-produced movies where shown in
Cinemas on celluloid packaging and from
1988 on VHS home video packaging in the
Yoruba movie industry.


In fact his Ibo film was NOT even the FIRST in
Nigeria. The first was entitled "Amadi" in 1975
and it was screened in Lagos. It was subtitled
in English. I also have a copy of a 1975 magazine
that showed the first military governor of
Lagos State, Brigadier General Mobolaji
Johnson and Attorney General of Lagos
State Justice Adefarasin in attendance
at the premier of "Amadi" at a Cultural Centre
in Lagos State. Justice Adefarasin's son
is the Pastor Mike Adefarasin of "House on the Rock" in Lekki
Peninsula


The American and Indian movie industry
are based on mainly cinemas and NOT homevideos.
The Indians rejected the term Bollywood
because they see it as an insult from the
Western media.


Bollywood is a term created by the Western
media as a caricature of Hollywood. It is like
saying: Nigerian movie is a Hollywood
wannabe or copycat! This is why the Indians feel
insulted when Bollywood [Hollywood in
Bombay] is used to describe their movie
industry which dates back to the 1920s.


The so-called "Nollywood" means[Hollywood in
Nigeria] was formed or first used as I said
before by an American
journalist named Matt Steinglass in the New York Times in the year 2002! The adoption
of that term amounts to colonial mentality
by some Nigerians and the Nigerian media
since Indians and the Indian cinema movies
industry which is based on ONLY the Hindi
language, have long REJECTED the silly terminology of "Bollywood."


All the best!

The vexatious terminology called "Nollywood"
was FIRST coined by an American Journalist
called Matt Steinglass in the New York Times
in 2002!


The Nigerian movie industry has been in
existence since the 1950s.

For example, Professor Wole Soyinka's
movie "Kongi's Harvest" was produced
and directed in Nigeria by Nigerians and
shown in the cinemas as a celluloid film
in 1969 and it received critical acclaim.
This is the reason why Prof Soyinka is
given the nickname: Kongo!


Please read the post above you that I made
to @luvinhubby for a FULLER and interesting response
to this topic.


All the best!
