Nollywood And Their Ridiculous Titles by OM3G5(m): 12:49pm On Aug 11, 2010
First of all i think the title of a movie should reflect amply on what the movies is about, and should be deliberately misleading as to render it watcher thinking something else judging from the title only to discover that  the flick is about another thing else entirely and at the same time the title should have a connection with the movie. for example take a movie like 'Death Sentence' we all know death sentence is a punishment of death, received in a court of law due to some grave or heinous offense but that movie starring Kevin Bacon wasn't about any court sentencing anyone to death as some may presume judging from the title, but instead, it was about an easy going, dutiful family man whose life just turned worst after the death of his son.

So everyone, please post your Nolly-wood Nigerian movie titles you here, only the ones you consider to be ridiculous and explain why?

These are some I can remember:

1. Innocent Criminal
How can a criminal be innocent, a person is refered to as a criminal only if indicted of a crime
unless vindicated. So why shouldn't the movie be titled: The Vindicate or Vindicated


2. Private Sin
Are sins categorized onto private and public sins?

3. I[b]Indecent Desire[/b]
How can a desire be indecent, the nature of ones desire can range from lust for power, sexual perversion, greed, etc
desires relates to wide spectrum of human emotions, who has the right to say some are indecent while some aren't. 

3. Critical Decision
Some decisions could be very critical to make, I haven't watch the movie but i am very sure the title would have nothing to do with
              what the movie is all about because it is a characteristic of Nolly-wood movies.

They certainly lack creativity. Why would a movie be titled "tears in my eyes"? lol. that's just extremely ridiculous!

Can anyone please tell me the name of a Nigerian movie i glimpsed yesterday on AIT around 2am in the morning, there was a scene there with a man depicted to be a native doctor wearing a jester cap. How silly could these NGWADAC be.
