We don’t something that will eventually become everybody’s access, so what’s the hype about being the first to watch when in a matter of months one will watch it even at a much cheaper rate

Their level is to go out to eat and drink pepper soup and goat head

It is not in their culture to have family outings unless they are going to eat

What is the ethnic composition of the SME owners in SW?
Oyo,Osun etc have more SMEs than your states.
USA is the most industrialised nation,do we ask about the composition of the owners of the firms?
Losers and excuses are strangely,hugely synonymous.

No South East in the top 10 doesn’t mean people don’t watch movies - it likely reflects fewer cinema outlets and different entertainment habits.

No. They have no time to watch movies. They are always busy making money. Their relaxation is most evenings over a bottle or 2.
Thats why when una dey show this kind of statistics, dem dey show mantions at home.

Most of the viewers in this top 10 are Ibos. The locals don’t have money for movies.
The reason why there’s no SE state in the top 10 is because of the port in Lagos, if you noticed, all the states in the top 10 have ports……blah blah blah grin

Do they even produce movies in Abuja?
We don't glorify nonsense. This is 2026, who goes to cinema to watch movies when people have mini cinemas and projectors in their homes.

This is a very big lie if not the biggest lies in the world. Most of the film are Yoruba, so I don't know when Igbo start rushing to watch Yoruba movie. Igbo that are in their shops.

You are using registered businesses to check the SMEs in a state. Igbo people that hardly registered businesses. Omo. You cannot compare Yoruba States to Igbo States when it comes to businesses.

This is liking showing you the states in Nigeria that has money , high spending power and therefore in a way relates to states with better pay.
the percentage of nollywood income that come from cinema is negligible. You can Google it up. Biggest nollywood distribution chains are YouTube and cable tv.
