i think nollywood movie and their luxuries is not that bad,for example,i have been told severally that ''u guys have nice houses in africa/Nigeria" and i was like huh?what do you mean?they will be like no offense intended but they believe Africa was all about poverty and suffering and seeing those nice houses and beautiful stuffs makes them want to visit Africa.So for me i dont have a problem with them been flashy,the only problem i have with their story line is the ''IGWE THINGS like everybody comes from a royal household or the same story line of parents wanting you to marry this one and you want another bla bla.or the campus runs girls or the voodoo things.thats what bores me. 3 Likes |

Ranchhoddas: @speedyboi,ur post is one of the most stuupid posts i have ever read on nairaland i swear.a single person defeating a battalion always has an explanation say-the person is a highly skilled marksman,swordsman,etc.your statement tells me that you do not follow the dialogues in the movies you see.(read subtitles for your own good).you talk of many people going one after the other to fight a person instead of going at once to fight the person(i just dey laugh)-have you been in a crowd fight before?i guess not.you talk of slumdog millionaire,it is an adaptation of a book of the same name by vikas swarup,i guess what you saw was wat was in the book(i've read the book but i've not seen the movie).about russia,korea,and africa-for real?wat kind of movies do you watch?i know the nigeria depicted in monique's phat girls was almost better than the nigeria i know.pls i am tired of this crap.stop celebrating wat is below mediocrity eg heart transplant in one dingy room(yes that is how bad nollywood can get).pls follow dialogues attentively abeg.NOLLYWOOD IS BEYOND BAD!! PS:i am waiting for a movie titled ASUU strike, or 'go and die' cos i've seen oga at the top.that is how idiiotic they can be...QEDdz guy z dull. 2 Likes |

speedyboi: Hypocrisy!Gbam!.. you have said it all We live in Nigeria, so we know what is realistic and what is not about our country... What baffles me however is how we sit in Nigeria and praise hollywood movies for portraying the 'real life' American situation when the only knowledge we have for comparison about the 'real life' America is from what we see in hollywood movies.. poor comparison I must say The truth is that ALL movies are unrealistic... nollywood, bollywood, hollywood etc... that's why it's a movie. The same way we complain that our movies are not real, that's also the way Americans complain that movies are not real. Someone said in nollywood u see a villager speaking queens english but remember in hollywood, scientists fly to a planet where no man has ever been before yet the inhabitants of that planet speak pure english with an american accent 3 Likes |

speedyboi: Hypocrisy!well I don't get what you are trying to prove here,but let me just assume I did,you are saying that hollywood also does the crappy things nollywood does. Ok first of all,majorly movies should be entertaining(that means it should be able to take your mind away from the disturbing issues at hand)one should get lost in it,that's where suspense comes in,I'm sorry but most of our nollywood do not offer this. you know the beauty about crap is packaging(making something silly appealling)and that's where hollywood has got it all,they are both crap right? But I will gladly be stuck to a badazz taking out an entire police force than be stuck with Mercy Johnson in a 5mins long verbal war with Ini Edo over who stole whose boyfriend.in other words no appealing action. About the accent part,who really cares abt how the tongue rolls,when they are other juicy offers to tick you off. Bottom line:they may all be crap but the difference is pretty clear.all other points of urs,I don't need to say more. ALL HAIL NOLLYWOOD though. 2 Likes |

Afam4eva: I am happy you realize that there are minority graduates in the village. so your argument now is that if those in the city cannot speak good English apparently, those in the village cannot. and you forgot that most of them went to secondary school. and you equally forgot that the best place to learn english language was in secondary school and not even the universities. 2 Likes |

If you all watch black american movies, you'll see how well they portray their roles but it isn't the same with majority of Nigerian movies.... Nollywood needs more experienced crew members...... I can see us getting there. |

@Poster, I pray the almighty God blesses you. I've always been wondering why this is so, about 70 percent of major character(tho , no research done yet ) in our movies are always living exotic and sophisticated lives. This is pure Irony compare to the situation in Nigeria. |
