Making a movie in Nigeria is serious business. You really don’t need a lot of experience to make one. If you’ve ever wondered how to make one we made a guide for you.

1. First of all, make sure your movie poster tells the whole story.
Don’t leave any chance to the viewers to guess how the movie goes, if possible narrate the film on the poster.

2. Quickly make a movie about anything that happens in the news. Be fast, be the first person to make it so you can make enough money.

Re: The Complete Guide To Making A Nollywood Movie (hilarious) by Nobody: 8:00pm On May 24, 2016
3. Make sure you include an intro scene irrelevant to the movie.
Intro scene should be about a plane flying or a farm in the village. Anything works.

4. Include a 10 minute scene of cars driving from one end of Lagos to the other.
Maybe to show off the beautiful potholes and traffic sellers, always include funny background music too.

beautiful potholes, lmao. your one good writer
Re: The Complete Guide To Making A Nollywood Movie (hilarious) by Nobody: 8:03pm On May 24, 2016
5. Put like ten passerby scenes and three scenes with a car reversing.
Because you must include all your family members in the cast. Charity begins at home.

6. Whoever is singing the theme music must narrate the whole movie with it. If you don’t listen well, you an’t understand the movie.

7. There must be a gateman scene.
No matter what the movies is about make sure you add that scene. The gateman must also try to be funny

9. Find a way to include a mother-in-law in the movie plot. Yes you guessed it. She must be wicked too.

Re: The Complete Guide To Making A Nollywood Movie (hilarious) by Nobody: 8:08pm On May 24, 2016
10. Remind your actors and actresses to use funny accents.
Mix British and American with a little Jamaican accent in one sentence for the international community.

11. Somebody must be poisoned. “After the poison is added to the food, taste it. Okay? Action!”

Re: The Complete Guide To Making A Nollywood Movie (hilarious) by Nobody: 8:10pm On May 24, 2016
12. You must have a housegirl.
This is one important rule. Never forget, because who will break a plate and get punished or sleep with oga.

13. If your movie does not have witchcraft and babalawos you haven’t started.
Witches must wear black or red, voodoo priests must paint one eye with chalk. Be consistent.

14. Your actors must shout, if you don’t shout you are not acting well. Maybe the microphone is always bad, we don’t understand.

Re: The Complete Guide To Making A Nollywood Movie (hilarious) by Nobody: 8:13pm On May 24, 2016
15. There has to be a slap scene.
At least one epic slap must happen please. It spices up the movie. (The person receiving the slap must say “did you slap me?”).

16. Give an illiterate the subtitles to do.
It costs too much to pay a professional to do it, and you must save money. If the viewers don’t like it, they will manage it like that.

17. Now divide the storyline into four parts Parts I-IV.
You can give the titles different names so people would know. Make enough money on a story that should last 10 minutes.
