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."

Nigerian Actors and actresses ain't even doing all that well..look at Hank Anuku they said is one of the most paid actors yet he still drives that old car and doesn't even have a house..living in a public yard and drives a use bike just like any other guy....they can't compare themselves with Hollywood stars that after one movie,they can retire for the whole year
@junity4real As in any field, your worth is your experience,professionalism and talent! So the likes of Hanks regardless of what the narrator said, are in NO WAY worth a great deal! You can't compaire him to RMD, Nkem Owo, Olu Jacobs Jimmy Iyke, Emeka Ike, Desmond Elliotetc...and those are just a few to mention! People like Genevive and Nkem Owo get payed around 2-3m per film, so if they're doing 10 films a year, which is average.....well you do the maths! PEACE!!
@lovexoxo76 READ WHAT I SAID!.."regardless of what the narrator says" Hanks is NOT one of the HIGHEST PAYED!...Since when was journeyman an authority on Nollywood, or ANY of Nigerias' affairs? And for your info those actors I mentioned are NOT in the same league s Hanks, as they ALL are producers/script writers and directors as well, and OLU JACOBS has acted in at least 2 Hollywood productions, and a host of international stage productions,and is respected internationally as a seasoned actor.
@lovexoxo76 FYI he has acted along side Sir Michael Cain and Beverly Johnson in the film 'ASHANTI', as well as in the Hollywood film 'DOGS OF WAR'! He has also done so many stage and television productions in England, as well as his own stage productions in England and America! So please don't even dare put him in the same category as Hanks! And actually NOLLYWOOD is the 2nd LARGEST film industry after BOLLYWOOD....HOLLYWOOD is 3rd.
Junity--------give them a break. Go easy. They''re trying. Stop always comparing everybody to the United States. The USA is the top of the world. Nollywood is doing ok, it will increase, it will improve, they will get better WISH THEM LUCK, instead of condemning and mocking them.
