It has been observed that nigerians do prefer watching foreign movies over our home-based movies.Is it that we are not up to date in movie productions or is the problem from the concept of our movies,

Foreign movies are very original compared to the home movies that either copy the foreign ones or have very ridiculous storylines.

De boi:

Says who

Is it that we are not up to date in movie productions or is the problem from the concept of our movies,

Longest way to go

why should i watch 9ja films wen dey cant depict somein different from wat i see in everyday life,
i believe in choices n hollywood affords me different genres whereas 9ja has only one genre evryday life,
besides 9ja movies r [size=38pt]CRAP[/size]

I can't think of any logical reason why anyone will pick those silly foreign movies over how own well acted, well produced, well scripted movies.

My only explanation is that they haven't really seen our movies coz i'll tell you right now, anyone who has seen RMD wearing overalls and facecap to portray a teenager or RMD with white chalk on his hair to portray an old man. . .will know Nollywood is where the talent's at.

No joke!

are you serious?Are you aware that one can pick one hundred home movies that have the same storyline?The same actors/actresses?etc AMERICAN MOVIES ARE THE BEST,ANY DAY,ANYTIME,ANYWHERE.

It's ridiculous comparing the two. 9ja movies are just not it. Chief among my problems with them is how they take their viewers for granted. They don't carry out any research on what they do. I also doubt if they have any scriptwriter write professional scripts for them. The way they speak, you could guess they only get a role and are told to act it. I mean, i could go on and on about very poorly researched, poorly written, poorly produced and directed Nigerian flicks. No wonder when countries in Africa get nominated for the Academies, Nigeria has never come close to been on that list.

And the most annoying of Nigerian flicks is how they get to divide the films into 2, 3 or 4 parts when it can all be fitted into 1 part. To God be the glory sha, there are a few stand out films from Nigeria, they just aren't much compared to the load of CRAP we keep getting fed everyday.

And please don't even go to the Fetish, occult Yoruba videos or the silly man, woman dancing, no romance Hausa videos.

By and large, you keep watching those 9ja crap, you are guaranteed to turn into a slowpoke by 40.

@ NnamdiN
What you see as a flaw in the same story line all the time is actually a plus. With our movies you don't have to think to hard, there are no surprises coz you already know what's gonna happen.

I don't know about you but me i like to check my brain at the door before i watch a movie and Nollywood allows me to do that. Can't ask for a better movie industry.

All hail Nollywood.

A good movie industry in terms of quantity.
