Paulo a ko wa Siri o m Ihe a

This was the movie that revolutionised Nollywood, Yorubas were in control of the film and theatre industry but the artistes were living from hand to mouth until some Igbo chaps saw it as a money making venture.
They brought in their expertise, invested good money, got some good actors and marketers and the rest as they say is history.
The movie was acted in Igbo language and subtitled in English.

Most people who watched this movie did so with black and white TV and VCR cassette player, it's today that I know she was wearing a green dress in the film

Ichie Million, nye aka!

andy okeke at the grave site of merit asking for forgiveness. Paulo didnt explain to me this was how it was going to be. Still reminisce about ahanna in rattle snake.

This scary movie.
