Hallo people. Here's a mail i received from a friend. It's about the stereotype nature of Nollywood and how they try to make everyone think in one direction-backwards.
It's as hillarious as its true. Check it out

1. Every problem you have is spiritual.
2. In every romance movie, someone must die.
3. It is possible to hit a person without actually
touching them!
4. Anyone who gets hit by a car dies immediately.
5. Poisoned food tastes better,
6. The best way to make money is by visiting a
'Babalawo'.
7. At least one of a pair of twins (identical or not)
is born evil.
8. There is never an end to your suffering, except
death!
9. With a pastor,  all things are possible
10. A movie can be titled anything,  such as - the boy
is mine, Two rats, Spanner, Calculator,
11. A movie has not been made if at least one
actor/actress has not- 'shelled', twisted his/her lips
to speak wrong phonetics',
12. You are in love,  you want to take your girl out,
the best place you take her to is,  Mr. Biggs,
Tantalizers, the beach or the best- take her to buy
some new ugly clothes.
13. An Igbo movie has been made if,
* You visit a 'Babalawo'
* A fleet of cars is shown off
* Kanayo 'O' Kanayo is in the movie, Pete Udochie is
also there too!
* To get rich it is mandatory you join a cult
14. Gun shots and Knock-out sound the same!
15. Most times the title has absolutely nothing to do
with the movie.
16. A love story has not been produced if it does not
have one or two of the following cast actresses-
* Stella Damascus
* Stephanie Okereke
* Genevieve Nnaji
* Omotola Jalade
* Rita Dominic
17. The police are extremely 'efficient' unlike their
counterparts in real life,
18. An actress can wear the same hairdo for more than
a year,
19. It is permissible to wear very dark shades in the
night!
20. When you are shot in the chest, it really doesn't
matter; your head will be bandaged! Same for your
legs!
21. When advertising a movie, you really should shout
because,  people are deaf?
22. When you are extremely poor, you will still be
able to afford- very good furniture, T.V., but you
won't be able to send your kids to school

I totally disagree. Over 20 years ago when Hubert Ogunde and Baba Sala used to make movies on reel that were shown in the cinema, things were professional and it took a considerable amount of time to shoot a complete film (not one week or two to six weeks like is the case today). The actors were professional and there was a cinema going culture (at least in Lagos). Now everyone is a producer or actor or director and everyone wants to make a quick buck so they churn out crap. The advent of home videos or home movies took the Nigerian budding movie industry at least three decades backwards.

Things we have learnt from Nollywood = Absolutely Rubbish/Crap.

very funny and very correct

Lol! lol! lol!
all what u have written here r the questions i normally have in mind while watching our 9ja movies!!
GOOD JOB! LOOOL!!

Oh my God, that was amazingly funny. I don't remember if you mentioned the attempt by the actors and actressess to change there accent. It sounds so annoying and ugly, why not just stay true to yourself?

No thanks, I've seen this before. Its in my Yahoo box.

lmao!
ALL nigerian films r garbage!
how can u make a film set in 9ja n d people in it dont talk or behave like nigerians?Its absurd!
The production is poor,the story/script is abysmal,the direction is horible,n d actin is mediocre at best.
@poster,u forgot 2 add 'why cant they make a film witout at least five stars in it?'
