I had always suspected that Nigerian cinemas had something against Nigerian films. The way some good Nigerian films won’t stay long on show despite customer demand (Niyi Akinmolayan’s ‘Out of luck’ is a recent example) and yet foreign films that aren’t selling stay for long as well the dominance of advert spaces by foreign films engendered this in me.

I got my confirmation last week while at a writers workshop for a TV series. (Sorry can’t tell you which as I have an NDA on my neck but it’s one that was popular in the 1990s) The executive producer Mr….(Ha! Sorry can’t tell you his name as it will give our the great secret TV series) had a talk with us where he revealed a number of things about how the Americans are coming to the Nigerian film space in order to conquer it with their products.

If I got this from anyone else I would have thought it was a joke but the Executive Producer was a foremost banker and has backed a lot of movies and notable TV series right from the 1990s. Most of the cinemas we have in Nigeria were backed by some of the US film studios in order to provide an outlet for their films here. Their original aim was to show only Hollywood content but because of Nigerian local content laws they have to show Nigerian movies on their big screens.
