Nollywood Is Now "second" In The World! by b0dnel: 11:49am On Jul 12, 2009 |
The cinema of Nigeria is a nascent film industry in Nigeria, growing up within the last two decades to become the second largest film industry on the planet, in terms of number of films produced per year. This is ahead of the United States and behind the Indian film industries. According to Hala Gorani and Jeff Koinange formerly of CNN, Nigeria has a US$250 million movie industry, churning out some 200 videos for the home video market every month. Nigerian cinema is Africa's largest movie industry in terms of the value of the movie industry and the number of movies produced per year. Although Nigerian films have been produced since the 1960s, the rise of affordable digital filming and editing technologies has stimulated the country's video film industry. The Nigerian video feature film industry is sometimes colloquially known as Nollywood, a term of uncertain origin, having been derived as a play on Hollywood in the same manner as Bollywood.

well said @omar That they are prolific in producing movies does not put them in the class of Hollywood nor Bollywood nor even the british and french movie industry. @poster, you are referencing wikipedia. Wikipedia is user generated content so i can go there one morning and add that soloqy is a super hero that saves the world, and sure as heaven, you will get to read it one day. |

Sevn: yeah we will, but not by believing lies concocted by wikipedia (of all sources). by the way, is it not the same wiki that said that Obafemi martins is Obafemi Awolowo's grandson? i really dont know where they got their "facts" from. and if you're clueless enough to believe them. . . clap for yourself IMO if you want to grade movies, lets look at quality of the movie, critics review and fan base. sadly we fall short an all categories. |
