According to Nigeria stats 50 percent of population is Christian and 50 percent of the population is Muslim, but in Nigeria movies everyone is Christian.

South Africans are asking why Muslim are not appearing in Nollywood movies?

Another dumb and ignorant thread on NL.

Cypress042:
Today Nollywood is sub-divided into three if i ain't mistaking.

There is Igbo, hausa and yoruba.
So If south africans feel like watching muslim movies the choice is theirs.

meanwhile, If this thread get to front page make i stay naked baff

Nollywood is not divided into three, Kaniwood which is the Hausa version exist, though Yoruba movie industry is almost merging with Nollywood but it is still distinct, 90% of Nollywood movies are centred on the Igbo society, that's why there is usduslly no muslim movie coming from Nollywood

BY 2023, IT WILL BE IGBOWOOD OR BIAFRANWOOD WHEN TINUBU BECOME THE PRESIDENT AND THE IPOBIANS BEGIN SECESSION AGAIN.

IT WILL BE UN-IGBO TO USE THE ZOO NAME FOR FOR THEIR MOVIES SO NOLLY WILL BE REMOVED TO ACCOMODATE IPOBWOOD

Tell them the meanings of Ezemmuo and Babalawo. Many Nigerian movies have ezemmuo and babalawo. Nigerian movies also have young boys who join cult and fight to kill. Are those ones Christians in the movies?

Muslim movies are not in English, either in hausa or few in Yoruba

DispatcherLagos:
Do South Africans waste their precious time on those rubbish Ariria and idumota movies?

garriAndsugar:
Waste of questions.. I guess the jobless south Africans are the ones asking

zhike:
Thanks for the good response, in SA we are only exposed to English movies done by Christian

etrange:
I just saw an Islamic "ruling on watching films" on the front page this morning. And according to that ruling, it is wrong to watch films cause the contents are lies and they normally play music in the background. It makes sense why they might not be well represented in such an industry.

booblacain:
I guess the reason is because most Nigerian movies seen by foreigners are made by South easterners who are predominantly Christians.

Movies made by South Westerners I would believe have more muslims in their castes, but they are not as popular ou there.

Hausa movies that have mainly Muslime casts rarely even make their way out of the shores of Nigeria, maybe to Northern Africa but definitely not to South Africa.

Transcriber:
you can only decieve yourself
Present Nollywood is Yoruba dominated


Maybe you're talking 2010 Nollywood

AlexBells:
Okay I don hear, cause I have no such strength to engage you, maybe I wait till I see a Nollywood movie talking about Oba or Alafin, who is even talking about who dominates, I'm asking whose culture is Nollywood portraying if not Igbo culture and life in Nigerian city, even Funke Akindele's Jennifer's dairy was it not a regular city trend, which nollywood movie promote yoruba culture lol,

theTranscriber:
I repeat

Only old asabawood propagate Igwe stuff

New movies don't do such
