A slum is a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and squalor. While slums differ in size and other characteristics from country to country, most lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, timely law enforcement and other basic services. Slum residences vary from shanty houses to professionally built dwellings that because of poor-quality construction or provision of services have deteriorated into slums.

A 23-year-old Congolese teacher Masonga Kitanda Olivier was beaten to death in Delhi last month.
A 21-year-old Tanzanian student was beaten and then stripped of all her clothes by a group of locals in Bengaluru in February. These incidents feel like one-off incidents but they don't even come close to describing the daily discrimination that black people from African nations are subjected to in India.
The experiences narrated by citizens of African nations, who have lived or are living in India, are the ugly reality of today. And they all point to one fact: Indians are racist.

They are already there. they have the resources and all it takes to do wonderful movies like hollywood's, they won't just do that coz they prefes low budget movies. just imagine releasing movies every week, when quality movies takes like a year or two to produce some even take 90 yrs in post production! (I LIE ).

they just don't want to spend so much money and time in producing superb movies.

You really believe they have what it takes to produce movies like these?

Do you know the budget of Dead Pool, Fast7, Avenger Age of Ultron, Transformers, Avatar or any of their animated movies. They cost Millions of Dollars(Billions of Naira), Google search and see.
The budget of one Avenger movie will give Nollywood thousands of movie production.
