Nollywood - Nigeria

April 2005
First there was Hollywood. Then came Bollywood and now Nollywood. The Nigerian film industry is the third biggest in the world.

Up to a thousand movies are released in Nigeria every year but the country still lacks any cinemas. The movies are for the home video market. It's a world where anyone can be a star and the hottest place to do business is Lagos market. As director Ralph Nwadike states: "Nollywood is here to stay. Bollywood watch out, Hollywood here we come."

@Rizomantico you trolls have issues, who ever said they wanted to be like the USA?........Nolllywood wants to be their own for Black africans the same way Bollywood is for Indians. At least the industry is recognized & now that CNN is talking about it, it has even beat Hollywood in Africa now, so why would Nollywood want to copy USA?does that make sense? what a loser you had nothing better to say so you had to pass a insult. You are from Argentina, so why would you care any way about Nollywood.

I am American I love to see other countries and cultures come up, and maybe even beat out America. I love it. I'm happy Africa has it's own Nollywood. I would love to see some ancient African movies. If they made them I would buy it because I do love my culture. Not all Americans are the same so please stop putting everyone in the same setting, Thanks.

This might not appeal to a Western audience but it sure does to Africans, including me. People need to take into account the cultural differences.

All Western people look for in films is beautiful settings, high quality and white people<--(I'm talking about the racist ones), but you won't get that in Nigerian movies because it's a movie which is supposed to fit and appeal to a Nigerian audience.
