I was wondering if a Nollywood screenplay looks anything like d pix below... If it doesnt,, i wouldn't mind getting tips and steps to writing a perfect Nollywood screenplay...

The pic you posted is what a film script looks like be it Nollywood, Jollywood, Bollywood or Plutowood. No reason why a Nollywood script would be different.
Format your screenplay just the pic has.

Perfect?
...If you want it perfect, then you have to write it the way it is in the pics you posted.
...Standard writers in Nigeria write similar to this.

Ok...

Pic's said it all, cumbersome attimes when compiling.

I this is what you call blocking a script.

The typical Nollywood script has no dialogue. The artists do not have the capacity to memorise anything and therefore they improvise on dialogue as they go along. Very lazy and primitive. That is why a Nigerian artist will never have a place in the international film making scene.

You can only get anywhere by doing the right thing, not by mere hopes and prayers. 90% of people in film making in Nigeria are functional illiterates , perpetually attempting to pass buffoonery off as acting. Most of the crew also are there because they have nothing useful to do with their lives . The result is buffoonery x cluelessness = CRAP FILMS

Hollywood and Bollywood didnt start today. Hollywood has being in existence and has learnt from it mistake to stand better. Nollywood would get there,it is a matter of time.
Your assertion about 90% of Nigeria film makers being illiterate is not correct. You had watched piracted movies that is why you asserted that statistics. Watch good nollywood movies on cinemas not African Magic.
