This is hilarious.

What is the history behind Nollywood?

Read about Bollywood and you will understand why Bombay became tied with Hollywood to become Bollywood.

They adopted a movie industry name and changed one alphabeth to reflect their own origin. How's that a problem?

That shows their lack of creativity! Everything is wrong with that. It shows how for the most part, Nigerians are mentally lazy.

Good sir, our history must not be tied to hollywood before accepting that there's a history

No one is denying that we need to move forward, but it doesn't mean we should not mention that name.

All of the Indian film industries, including Bollywood, are fast moving forward, since many American film studios now have offices in India, and the government is heavily invested in the industries, but still producers and film makers still condemn the name Bollywood because they say it makes them feel like a subsidiary of Hollywood.

Bollywood came about at the time when the Indian cinema based in Bombay (now Mumbai) was giving Hollywood a competition for their money, and so some gossip journalist replaced "Holly" with "Bolly" (Bombay).

Till today, many producers don't even like it.

And that is what Dejumo Lewis is doing too.

A name is not insignificant as you want me to believe. A name is just as important.

I hail you, Mr well brought up. Can you now park one side with your superior upbringing? .

CeterisXVII:
There is something called politeness, courtesy, and manners. You can disagree with someone's ideas politely and respectfully.

But the way you have spoken shows that you were raised badly and you do not even respect the elders you have at home. That is why you find it easy to be rude on social media and call an old man, bad names.

I have criticised a lot of policies and actions taken by leaders and older people. But I have done so with decency, decorum and politeness. It does not water down my objections to their actions.

But you will not understand it, because you were not raised properly with good values. Neither were you trained to be respectful. Don't worry, what you dish out to others, will be served back to you in full measure, in future. Karma does not miss any address.....

Don't mind them. These are people who don't even know when Dejumo Lewis was acting the part of village headmaster in that interesting TV series, way back in those days. Badly brought up kids are now all over cyberspace, spewing crap.

Brother, have u noticed that respect for older ones is no more a virtue among the teens n youth of today? No wonder certain favours are alien to them n achievement only comes to them via vices n ways that morality frowns at.

The way you have redefined the word, "insult," says a lot about your capacity for critical thinking. [quote author=CeterisXVII post=86813715][/quote]
