too cheap and insufficient quality -extremely low-budget home-videos resulting in extremely poor quality films scriptwriters fail to extol the virtues of Nigerians disconnection between the content in most films and the cultural values of the Nigerian society negative portrayal - hyper-extensive focus on murder, rituals, witchcraft, blood-money the spotlight on western culture which of course clashes with traditional nigerian values how can I forget the acting - with the exception of a few actors/actresses, the acting is simply atrocious. it's horrendous. it would be an insult to call it terrible because it's beyond terrible. ok maybe it's not that bad but you get it. ok I admit I exaggerated. cute-ass, hey love, does this one do? |

Here are some thoughts and opinions I extracted from bbc.co.uk "I can hardly recall a good Nigerian movie. Some of these movies spit on creativity not to mention the poor story lines, acting and camera shots. Surely, we in the art world should invest more for all round quality, and no excuses of shoe-string budgets! " Enos, Nairobi, Kenya "I don't watch them nor do I recommend them, because the producers and directors do not have well laid out storylines. They tend to glorify the social decadence in the upper class in Nigeria." Tunde Odejayi, England "For me I always prefer quality to quantity. Any Nigerian just wakes up one day and decides to make a movie! Movies are a passion, dedicate yourself to it and invest in it and you will get good returns." Ike Okwuraiwe, Budapest Hungary "Nigerian movies are ok in their story lines, but their production qualities are bellow zero point, noisy and the pictures are not clear. " Chief Kanu, South Africa "Nigerian films are horrible, the scripts are empty and poor. They always copy and remix the title of western hits. And, most of all, they are too artificial. Billy Di Angelo, Nigeria "Personally I do not watch Nigerian movies because many a time they clash with my Christian beliefs. How do I stand to benefit from such soap operas that depict witchcraft and other evils? Our own local production Kabanana is free of spirits and so I watch that one. " Shuttie FN Libuta, Kitwe, Zambia The "he enter ela moo je gba" insult goes to Anthony Okosun who writes: "Nigerian movies are over glorified amateur drama sessions poorly captured in celluloid. The movies are seriously lacking in technical depth. The sound and picture qualities are of less than average quality. The movies are popular because in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Nollywood producers and directors must do all it takes to acquire cutting edge technical expertise from Hollywood. " Of al the entries, this one captured my thoughts the best: "I think because they relate to our lives we are more prone to love them compared to western movies. We love reality and they are real to us, irrespective of their shortcomings." Osaigbovo Igbinosa, Nigeria |
