They used to be the preserve of informal home gatherings around old flickering TV sets, but Nollywood films have now gone global.

Movie streaming giant Netflix has dedicated an entire section to Nigeria's mega film industry, so rather than having to buy a DVD, viewers around the world can now get their fix of Nigerian drama straight to their computer screens -- Nollywood is notorious for churning out hundreds of movies per month, capturing viewers with stories ranging from romance and drama to comedy and witchcraft.

iROKOtv, a Nigerian online platform for on-demand films, already streams home-grown movies to the diaspora around the world, but with 25% of Nigerians predicted to access the internet via their mobile phone by 2018, the home market is expected to grow too.

Befitting the mammoth industry that Nollywood is, its glamorous movie stars are revered in the country as any Hollywood A-listers would be. Shown above are four of Nigerian film's most recognizable faces.


Ramsey Nouah stumbled into the film industry almost by accident. He was looking for funds to cover his school fees when a friend suggested he tried acting. Some 25 years later, Nouah is today one of Nollywood most prolific stars.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, heralded as the queen of Nollywood, has appeared in around 300 films since her debut in 1995. Her allure earned her the nickname of "Omosexy," while two years ago she was named one of the top 100 influential people in the world by Time Magazine.

Jeta Amata comes from a family of Nollywood stars, so it was perhaps not surprising that he became one of Nigeria's most prominent film directors. He is often praised for the high production values and strong narratives of his movies, and has worked with both Nollywood and Hollywood famous stars, including Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.

Genevieve Nnaji, dubbed the "Julia Roberts of Nollywood," has been acting since the age of eight and has won the 2005 African Academy Movie Award for Best Actress.

High output, low profit

Nigeria's film industry pumps out around 50 movies per week and is estimated to generate around $600 million annually for the country's economy. With more than 1,200 films a year, it's the world's second biggest producer behind India. Nollywood is also Nigeria's second biggest provider of work, employing directly or indirectly more than one million people, according to the United States International Trade Commission.

However, films are typically low-budget and revenues are small. One of the highest grossing Nollywood film so far is thought to be "Ije: The journey", which generated $500,000 when it was released in 2010. It stars two of Nollywood's biggest stars, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde as sisters fighting for justice.

Search of excellence

In recent years, a new wave of filmmakers who want to shake off Nollywood's reputation for shoddy productions is emerging. Dubbed the New Nigeria cinema, these young professionals want to create a movie industry which can compete with Hollywood -- not just in quantity but also quality.

Actor Wale Ojo, one of the biggest supporters of the movement, told CNN: "New Nigeria Cinema basically means an elevation of Nigerian film -- high production values, good strong narratives, stories that capture the essence of who we are as Nigerians, as Africans."And it means also that these films can be shown at international film festivals anywhere in the world, from Toronto to Cannes to Venice."

If you read the article you would see it was agreed between both countries as one of the measure to counter boko haram when buhari met with their leaders so no back stabbing.

Besides if you are illegal then you are illegal and all this talk of brothers etc is just an excuse to justify doing the wrong thing.

We talk so much about how we want change and yet are so quick to justify things that are wrong and illegal. Then why have any laws if they can circumvented because he is our brother or we are from the same place?

The rule of law only works if applied to all regardless of status, wealth, ethnicity or religion. When you start picking when you apply laws then it is a very slippery road downhill.

fromyour view on dis matter then it should be a tit for tat agreement why diddn't nigeria deport all other illegal immgrant from neigbouring state its all pointless. it not properly taking into considration before putting pen on paper. There a millions of illegal immgrant leaving all over d world.

ttmacoy:
We really need to get rid of this common this and that pride that we have.

If Cameroon had legal support for deporting them which they did then they did the right thing. Canada deport Americans who are in Canada illegally or if they commit a crime and you do not hear all this common Canada stuff.

We are too proud in Nigeria and it is ridiculous expecting everyone to bend their rules to accommodate our wrong ways.

Because we turn a blind eye to things that are obviously wrong doesn't mean others should or will.

you are right but when we call ourselves brothers shearing common goals to abolish a menace dat was created and hitting deep into our system. we dont back stab each other, its wasnt there choice to settle in cameroon.
i know if it is nigeria we will never deport our brothers in times of trouble

whats d diffrence or d change. ok d change is PDP CHANGED NAME TO APC. tinubu is nw BOT chairman of APC. anoda obasanjo in APC

even cameroon now depot nigerians...... am sorry for our mother land abi na father land i go call am

No fewer than 12 persons suspected to be oil workers have died in a pipeline explosion in Azuzuama in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

Also, three unidentified persons were injured in the explosion, which occurred on Thursday night along the Tebidaba-Azuzuama trunk line belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company.

The explosion took place at an oil spill site operated by Agip where a joint investigation visit was ongoing.

Officials of Agip, representatives of the host community and Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment were investigating the cause of a recent oil spill in the area.

According to a statement by an Eni spokesperson, Mr. Filipo Cotalini, the parent company of NAOC, the cause of the explosion is being investigated.

Cotalini said, “An explosion occurred on Thursday, July 9, 2015, late afternoon, at the site of the repair works of the Tebidaba-Clough Creek line, an oil pipeline in Nigeria’s onshore Niger Delta, previously damaged by acts of sabotage.

“The explosion resulted in the death of 12 members of the maintenance team of a local service company, with three others being injured.

“The causes of the incident are still under investigation by both Eni and the local authorities.

“The company expresses its deepest condolences to the families involved in this tragic accident.”

But community sources said the explosion occurred during a joint investigation visit for the official clamping of a spillage site along the route of the Agip pipeline.

They said the victims of the explosion were burnt beyond recognition.

Though no one could confirm the identities of the victims, it was gathered that the joint investigation team was made up of officials from the Ministry of the Environment, Department of Petroleum Resources, NAOC, representative of the Azuzuama Community and the NOSDRA.

It was further learnt that two soldiers attached to the team for security cover might have also been killed in the explosion.

A former Vice-Chairman, Azuzuama Community Development Committee, Dennis Dumde, confirmed the recovery of 12 bodies from the explosion site between Thursday night and Friday morning.

He said though the source of the fire was still unknown, the identities of the victims could not be ascertained as they were burnt beyond recognition.

Also confirming the incident, the State Coordinator, Environmental Right Action, Mr. Alagoa Morris, said a team of government officials had been deployed to the community by the Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Inuro Wills.

The police spokesperson, Mr. Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident.

He said the incident occurred while Agip workers were carrying out routine maintenance at Gbaraun/Tebidaba.

He said 12 persons, including a soldier were burnt beyond recognition. According to him, six other bodies were recovered while four persons were rescued alive and were undergoing treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
