To me nothing is wrong with watching Nigerian movies or any other for that, but do things in moderation. I ve noticed this gender of a thing cripping into all facet of our existence. Everything on the nagetive extreem is attributed to women. Guys are guilty too!!! My fellow ladies, and women, prove ur self so that u wont continue to be object of ridicle to our male counterparts.

I dont take interest on politics per se, but there are foundamental things we need to know.

Food for thought: Try to know something on everything, and know that u cant know everything about something!

God bless us all.

Some people will come here and be posting rubbish. How can somebody come here and say we don't learn anything from Nollywood? Hasn't Nollywood taught us (courtesy of Linda Ikeji) that:

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 always tastes better.
6. The best way to make money is by visiting a 'Babalawo'/joining a cult/sleeping with rich men.
7. 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, Face me, I face you, Two rats, Spanner, Calculator, Igala, Ijele, Igodo, Igudu, Shigidi, Eran Iya Oshogbo Ta longbe mu.

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: where you'll most probably see an ex while feeding each other.
*The beach: where it is imperative that you ride a donkey and carry her playfully.
*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 at regular intervals for a total of half of the movie time.
* Kanayo 'O' Kanayo is in the movie. Pete Edochie is also there too!

14. Gun shots and knock-outs sound the same!
15. Sometimes the title has absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

16 Once you read the title and see the poster you know it all!!!(Also the soundtrack gives you a headache because it just narrates the whole story repeatedly - so much for suspense and intrigue!)

17. A love story has not been produced if it does not have one or two of Stella Damascus, Stephanie Okereke, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade, Rita Dominic

18. The police are extremely 'efficient' unlike their counterparts in real life.
19. An actress can wear the same hairdo for more than a year and even in longer flashbacks.
20. It is permissible to wear very dark shades at night!
21. When you are shot in the chest, it really doesn't matter; your head will be bandaged! Same for your legs!
22. When advertising a movie, you really should shout because, people are deaf?

23. When you are extremely poor, you will still be able to afford-a beautiful house, very good furniture, T.V., nice clothes, but you won't be able to send your kids to school.

24. Most especially in Yoruba movies, your gateman must be inefficient and comical. He MUST dress like a freak, be rude to all your visitors and never mind his business.

25. The bad guy always dies or gets caught by none other than the police- lol
26. The best way to hook a girl is when her car develops fault.
27. At the end of a three hour movie you'll be reminded that THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING,
28. No matter the type of movie, TO GOD BE THE GLORY is always at the end.

So, how can you say that we have not learnt anything? Abegi. Nollywood na baba!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Lol (rolling on the floor) Spora, you've said it all but let me add these:
29. The previews sometimes take half of the movie time and louder (oh, very loud!) than the actual movie itself.
31. Oh, a love movie is not complete without the inclusion of Ramsey Noah!
And yes, you're right, how dare someone comes here and tells us there's nothing to learn from our naija movies. dey are jus jelosh ni o jare! To God be the Glory! Peace!

i noticed that most posts where sent in by the Adam folks while bad news to all of you, i dont even know much about Nija movies cos the tend not to make sense to me SORRY ladies but am all on ur sides  i for one, i can watch a start of a home movie and wud not make a mistake of predicting what wud happen in the end. producers and directors should try to change story line for once   lets learn to knack our brains wen it comes to movies am not bad monthing anyone ohhhh  

i meant bad mouthing fingers too fast for me

I support Nigerian movies, its all about;
[1] The story line of the movie.
[2] The make up of the person watching the movie,that is, the interest of the person in the movie.
[3] What does she learn at the end of the movie. As in, improving her way of life.
On the other hand, what programme do you have for your sister?
How do you communicate with her? How do you sell your idea of interest to her.

Hi guys,

Nigerian Ladies and Nigerian movies drives me crazy because women are learning a lot of things from it.  ;DIt is now more difficult for a guy to understand his woman because they are always acting one scene or role from movies they have watched. When you expect them to get angry they don't, )and when you expect them to calm down they don't.  )All because they are always following one script or the other from these nigeiran films.

"somze" shut up there, I say shut up!!!

[/color][b][/b][color=#990000]Nija babes thinks that all what they see in Nija movies works
as far as i can see they are all fictions

hello guyz, for me only niger film producer need to go to Mexico to learn how to produce and writh good film not this nonsense they are doing call them seft best in africa Ghana film is better than Niger film 1999%.

NOTE: "NIGER FILM PRODUCER AND WRITHER SHOULD TRAVEL TO MEXICO AND BRAZIL TO LEARN HOW TO GIVE THE BEST"[flash=200,200][/flash]

THANKS

Why the hating on Naija movies and Naija chicks? 
If you don't like the movie, don't watch it. It's as simple as that.
I can't understand what you guys are making noise about.  Everyone has different preferences to what they find entertaining.
The fact that one watches home videos does not mean that they are unintelligent. We could for argument sake, say that all football watchers or "lovers"_{(let's narrow it down a bit, and not generalise)} are football hooligans, if some of the posts [s](from "intelligent" people)[/s] on this thread are anything to go by. 
On the other hand, there is the garbage in, garbage out argument. We are what we feed ourselves, if you eat, read or watch junk, you end up turning into junk. But that doesn't warrant an abstience from junk, one just need to moderate the intake. Like the good old saying "all things in moderation".

Hey folks -
To those complaining abaout the quality of the Nigerian movies, if you can make a better product then bring it on - if you don't have what it takes to come up with something better to replace what we have then it must be the best we have to offer at this time - till then, we should salute those that are making these films no mater how poorly made - They will get better with time - We all have to make baby steps - For now go work on your own movie scripts and put it on the table and see if you can compete - beside that please take a deep breath and understand that you do not have much to offer those craving for some homemade entertainment -

i perfer nollywood movies over hollywood movies. yes! i sound crazy but that's the true. since i discovered nollywood movies 2 years ago, i haven't step my foot in any theatre; let alone order a movie from blockbuster. I'm so sick and tired of hollywood movies that the name alone makes me want to throw up. Hollywood movies are nothing but porn. another problem with hollywood movies is that technology has taken over completely. Spiderman flying in the air, Brad Pitt pressing every botton in Mr. and Mrs to get a knife or gun, harry potter flying in the air with a stick between his legs. too much technology makes movies less interesting. As for nollywood, if there is any short coming, will probably be from writers and producers not actors. you can not compare my girl Genevieve with beyonce. Genevieve is a classic actor. you can not compare Tom Cruise with Ramsey either. Ramsey is a class art and Tom Cruise is nothing but a fake warrior. nollywood storylines deal with real issues not fake ones. By the way, I'm Liberian living in the US.

@ya202

the right to criticize is not limited to the creator

otherwise you wouldnt be able to look at a knitted sweater and say 'what rubbish' if you cant spend several hours of your life doing something better.

The bottom line is, whether or no0t anyone else can do better, the Nollywood movies are of terrible quality, and unless we all reject them as crap they will continue making them.

In short, the people watching these rubbish movies are responsible for their poor quality. These guys have money. Stop buying the movies and theyll have an incentive to spend it.

d same way naija guys r crazy bout foot ball is d same way naija galz r crazy bout nollywood,d differences rinterest in passion,men love sports,women love movies so wot does a medical student's low mentality have 2 do with nollywood,dont see any relevance.blame it on sumtin else n not on nolly wood.infact if u av d tym 2 sit among guys u nid 2 see how dey viciously argue wen it comes 2 sports 2 d extent dat dey'll be betting with money u'll hear stuffs like arsenal is beta dan liverpool,chelsea's player is better than manchesters etc.so it all boils down 2 intrest
