[b]You Know It’s A Nigerian Movie When;

8. The same song is played ON and ON and ON throughout the movie (whether it is an action/love/drama scene)
9. The actors waste unnecessary time to perform an act that shouldn’t take more than a fraction of a second e.g An actor will spend fifteen good minutes of his time threatening to kill someone, spend another five minutes looking for his gun (while the mumu victim will standthere watching) and then spend another ten minutes shouting “I WILL KILL YOU TODAY” after which he tots his gun (the soundis often times not in sequence with the trigger pull) and then the victim screams ” I AM DEAD, YOU HAVE KILLED ME, I AM DYING” and then he dies.

12. The bad characters are completely evil and the good characters are completely good, one track personalities13. You have to reduce the volume for the soundtrack and increase it to hear what the actorare saying, so you have to hold onto your remote control.
14. When you see a village girl speaking phonetics
15. Almost all endings will happen in church, when at the end of the movie, a pastor and his team prays and the wicked/evil person manifests, confesses and then drops dead. .. To God be the glory. This always happens when the director/ producers have run out of ways to end the movie.

27. Some Nigerian home video can be boring and the producers don’t help matters by extending it to PART TWO, PART THREE, PARTFOUR, PART FIVE AND PART SIX (tobe contd).
