Good evening nairalanders, there's this arguement I've been having with some people lately about Nigeria movies and American movies. Sometimes when I tell some people that I dont watch Nigerian movies only American movies, they tend to look at me with a frowning face, like you're a Nigerian and you don't patronize your own thing instead you focus on American movies.
My point here is that, is not as if I hate Nigerian movies, but I feel their producers needs to do more. They don't produce good/inspiring movies, you can tell that from the storyline, to their poor video coverage down to the ending part of their movies, that's where I always have issues with them, they hardly end their movies well. You can know how their movie will end from the beginning part of it. Although I know our govt is not helping at all, especially when it comes to good environment to shoot movies, and also financial support to get good production equipment for our movies industry. But govt has no part in writing the storyline of a movie, it has to do with the producers themselves.

The reason why am so addicted to American movies is because those guys produce good and inspiring movies , movies that you can learn from as a person that want to achieve success. Though is not all their movies, but majority of their movies are good, ranging from intelligence, comedy, love, science,biographies etc. It's really inspiring. You hardly see biography movies been produced in nollywood, I dont want to mention others because I know we dont have the wherewithal to produce it. Like science and crime. Nollywood producers are not smart enough to come up with such ideas, they're too primitive in their production.

So my point here is that, patronizing Nigerian movies as a Nigerian is not the main thing for me, but producing good/ inspiring movies is what I crave for, and that's what Hollywood producers give to me. Watch movies like the founder( the success story of the owner of McDonald's fried chicken), the hidden figures ( the story of the black woman that gave the formula NASA used in moving to space). Very inspiring movies and you can learn from them . But our nollywood producers can't do that. Is not as if they're no great men here in Nigeria or Africa we can put their success story into acting ,or great happenings we can also put into acting too, but our dumb producers wont do that, they're contented with their local way of acting.

Although lately they're trying, I noticed they call foreign producers like Netflix to produce some of their movies, so I can see changes, like lion heart movie, blood sisters, but it didn't end well, and also this otedola's daughter university movie, I can't remember the name. I really commend them for that one. But our producers need to do more, they can get storyline from different areas of life , is just for them to stretch themselves and push further, with time our movie pattern will change.

Is just my opinion though.
