Nigeria are good only in acting witchcraft movies. Looking at the Oscars....and South Africa dominate - with kenya featuring twice - Lupita Nyongo winning the Actresses in supporting role and Mark People winning in 1970s for The Last Emperor.

No Nigeria has ever come close. Local movies - at least nearly every year a kenyan movie is nowadays in serious contention for oscars's foreign movies

As of 2018 - it the same story - Kenya and South Africa films dominate nomination for OSCARS. This year Kenya's Watu Wote was nominated.

Instagram thots are what they are proud of. Their ladies are the Semenya type,the effects of pounded yam and rat stew is very evident in their physicality!

Ibrahimanis:

Both of them short films

Good luck though, y'all can keep winning Oscars, we will keep developing our nollywood.

NairobiWalker:


Mr. Forgiveness, here is your list of skyscrapers in Lagos.
We've already figured the Ministry of Communication tower is non-existent. That left us with 12

Now Eko Tower is only 87.11m, that leaves us with 11

Bourdilon tower is not 100m, that leaves us with 10

Please, stop insisting on the 13 figure.

tylann:
they can't believe it that Kenya is this fine without any natural resource and kenya would have been better without corruption

STOP DECEIVING your selves, Even Niger republic, Somalia and poor countries have nice places as well. our issues with you Kenyans is that, you celebrate just 2% of your developed parts(reasons why you kept recycling same pics )while leaving the rest to rot, we all knw that Nairobi cbd has long been developed by the Europeans master and that Kenyans can not built any new city from scratch, evidence been Tatu ,konza cities

tylann:
they have been growing at faster rate than Kenya for 10 years now but Kenya keeps on widening the GDP gap

You need to develop the industry beyond witchcraft. I mean you got huge stories in Niger Delta, Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen killing farmers, and all you do is witchcraft, love potion and all sort of vodooo & juju.

Making a movie or a film should start with writing a serious script - not just arming yourself with cheap camera and tripod - and you go shooting total shitty skits - and claim we got HIGHEST AMOUNT OF SHITMOVIES -after bollywood.

The last few years these are some kenya films considered for Oscars.
Nairobi Half Life - Lupita was star actor before she got discovered by Hollywood. Lupita is probably crossing more money per yr than entire Nollywood
Kati Kati,
Supa Mode
Watu Wote
This year Rafiki (a lesbian move) has won many international awards.

South Africa obviously another story for another decade

same way David Oyelowo, “Chiwetel” Ejiofor, Hakeem Kae-Kazim and many other Nigerians in Hollywood generates more income than your dead country

None of those are Nigerians. Chiwetel Umeadi Ejiofor CBE is an English actor - his parents Nigerian(but they don't act ). I don't have to go thro the list of the other unkowns. Lupita is a kenyan brought up here, with home here, studied here and went for university at Yale. She acted locally before going big. Our films are breeding grounds for word class acting. [b]We are 2nd to South Africa. Nigeria you produce shit witchraft movies nobody serious watches. [/b]Chiwetel Umeadi Ejiofor would be found dead acting in Igbo witchcraft movie

Ibrahimanis:

I know nollywood is growing too fast but Please try to keep up,

The days of witchcraft and voodoo are "almost gone" 2010 to 2018 has been a tremendous success story for nollywood. Check out, Arbitration, the CEO, 76, October 1st, half a yellow sun, 93 days, if I am president e.t.c (non of them are comedy)

Really, how much does lupita gross per year then?

King of Boys was released this October and it already grossed 200mil naira (and it's still running) it has a rating of 9.2/10 by Imdb, the highest by a nollywood movie. And it's still not the highest grossing Nigerian movie. That honour goes to the wedding party, grossed 500mil naira in Nigeria alone, theatrical screening, DVD sales and online streaming outside Nigeria are not included. Take that Kenya!

Ibrahimanis:

On the issue of South Africa, while it's not in doubt it has enjoyed more financial success than nollywood films, but that's because most of it's highest grossing movies are either a collaboration with New Zealand, US, UK or stars Hollywood actors. That's one of the reason nollywood is praised, it's completely indigenous! And you have to go far back as 2009 to find the highest grossing SA film while the top 20 highest grossing nollywood films are from 2010 to present, each year setting a new record.

Kenya of all places? and how comes Nigeria movies industry is the second largest movies industry in the world behind Bollywood and our worst films generated more profit than your best films?
never for once knw Kenyans produces movies, i only know of Tanzanians film industry.

rvp2018:
Why are all those movies not winning award. Maybe you got a image problem because for goodness sake I will never watch those movies - I might google them now that you say. I definitely watch south african movies.

As for 200m or 500m naira. Convert to dollars first....see is that like 500K usd - or 1M usd for Wedding (must be Yoruba movie).

Lupita I have read has earn close to 250M dollars from her career so far.

rvp2018:
You percentage are wrong. Try 95% good with 5% shitty looking like Nigeria. As for white and black. They left kenya in 1963 (or you think we kept them secretly after fighting for independence ). That clearly is lame excuse. You got OIL - you've earned more than 600B dollars. We got nothing. But we have built now 6 modern cities - and several towns. All that from selling coffee beans, tea leaves and letting whites people come watch our animals for a small fee.

rvp2018:
People actually pay to watch Nollywood movies. I mean Kenya is not yet there - but it's already more sophisticated than Nigeria film industry. Quantity is not Quality. Rafiki was banned and was watched for few days during injunction. It certainly has won more international awards and acclaim - and when the money start flowing - for kenyan movies - it will be something.

Now nollyhood - highest movies has crossed 1.5M dollars!!! and you've produced like 1M movies.

Rafiki made 33K dollars in a week!!!!!!!

KENYA LANDMARK CHEAP HOUSING UNITS TO BEGIN JANUARY 2019
The County of Nairobi signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Government in the low-cost housing project. Under the MoU, county governments will avail land while the national government will provide finances and capacity building. The county has already secured 7,000 acres of land for this initial phase. We are also working with the National Treasury, the World Bank and other stakeholders to operationalise the Kenya Mortgage Refinancing Company to provide medium and long-term liquidity to mortgage lenders.

Man, i hv proven to you that your developed parts are just stone throw away from each others(westland and upper hill and less thand 3KM Apart from each other) , and that lagos,abuja,PH,Enugu ... developments spreads across all areas (distance between ikeja,VI,Apapa,Vestac,Lekki, Lagos island,Oshodi are far apart from each other), i have shown you with facts that Kenya have the worst,highest numbered slums areas in "World", i have also shown you that your developed parts " CBD,WESTLAND,UPPERHILL,KAREN... Have one thing in common "white,Politicians,Indians" dominance and that majority of your population have no options of residence than Slums(Kibera,Matare....).

rvp2018:
How about just you quit being a nigerian for a moment - who just has lame excuses for anything- and admit - good writing and acting skills in South Africa - perhaps right from schools to universities. And you work towards improving that by if necessary importing script writters, directors and actors.

68816419:


well,we are still the best in Africa, how much has rafiki generated so far and can you provide gross profits of Kenyans movies if at all they exist ?, i tried watching Kenyans movies on you-tube but i found VLOG videos far more advanced that it

Ibrahimanis:

So my excuses are lame.

Those are not excuses by the way, they are explanation.

Kenyan film industry is more sophisticated than Nollywood , I laugh in Swahili, come back when you can boast of an artist like Hakeem effect (BBC featured him by the way), come back when your "sophisticated' movies can be screened internationally on yearly basis, come back when a your movie can gross higher than Nollywood's, Come back when foreign actors/actresses from Africa started featuring in your movies.

Ibrahimanis:

250m dollars in her career so far?
My question is how much per year?

rvp2018:
What is developed to you. Central business district. Nairobi has 15 of those. If you're talking residential estates - hundrends of thoses. I am just telling the NON-SLUM areas of Nairobi are 95%. I didn't do the calculation but credible orginization have done them.

That is why they are called slums - 15 nigerians can live in one room house. Do you need evidence? - They sleep in turns So you can imagine 65,000 nigerians in Nairobi divide 15 - they probably have rented only 5,000 on-room units

68816419:

and yet every sources put the percentage of slums dweller at above 60%?

rvp2018:
The Judge allowed them temporary injunction of 7 weeks as the case of their banning continues.The screening was to allow it's nomination to the Oscars. So they have only screened for 1 week. If they win the case against the Kenya Film Censorship board - they will be allowed to screen forever - and we can see how much they'll make. But so far they have broken all records (probably including Nigeria) for one week of screening.

and how about other movies ? can you list them please?
