Entertainment has been one of our biggest exports. They need the support of Government to thrive and expand their reach. You might not understand how much our entertainment industry has achieved over the years until you travel around Africa. To everyone who has contributed greatly to Nigeria's entertainment industry, I say well-done. SATAN |

God of from her, if we keep making good better movie , why we no go dey watch our local own Though I never see this exact movie |

Lets face it, the reason why this is news is because it is a movie in every cinema and cinema lovers are left with no other option than to watch it if they want to see local content. I read one time that Nollywood creative directors are complaining that they don't feature their movies in cinema. They only feature movies by Funke Akindele, Toyin and other movies like this that involves basic storyline, drama and overacting. Nigerian cinemas should be fair and feature other directors. Only Nigerians abroad will watch these kind of movies that you will watch once and forget the next day. If not for Youtube monetization, the FilmOne monopoly would have killed the film industry. |

TechBaron:Dey play! Outside of Nigeria, people watch and adore our movies. I was surprised to hear out African brothers and sisters mentioning names of our actors and their movies. Even in the music industry. They enjoy and play our songs. Dey play, okay? |
