Nollywood is not a 50billion dollar industry like someone said up there, it’s a 3billion dollar industry
maybe 3 billion naira ,not dollars. why are the actors dying broke if it's 50 billion or 3 billion ?

Such a sad fellow.

Are we Italians, if Nolly means Nothing in Italy, it means nothing in Italian, and that is not English language.

He didnt tell us what Holly in Hollywood means in Italian too.

Is Bollywood a place in India? Not all movies are made in Hollywood but American movies are generally regarded as Hollywood movies.
The name is not the problem but the amateurish plots and the lack of originality in many of the productions.

Daddy yo if no be for this one wey you talk I don forget say person like you exist. So, enjoy the few hours of Fame and relevance you'll receive for practically saying nothing worth reading, about a $50 billion industry.

See who is talking. You can only hide behind your screen to write this trash. That man’s name will always come up whenever people discuss/study the early days of soap opera in Nigeria. As for you, even your family may forget your name after the first generation.

He is right. Nollywood is a meaningless term unlike Hollywood which exists as a physical community with studios, parks and design schools. He is right to express his disaffection because he is a member of that society.

You? You’re just a faceless troll.

Man is right... Hollywood is an area of LA... just like Lekki is an area of Lagos....been there before the film/entertainment industry arrived there and brought it fame. Going to Hollywood... there is a destination... and to the hub of the movie industry. Nollywood.... where is that?... or where is the center of Nigeria movie industry?... where are the studios? Want just a name... name a location or coin one... just like Seun did when he launched this now world famous Nairaland.

Nollywood is a $50 billion industry.
I can assure you, the name don't matter.
Exactly. A name is just an identification. To differentiate one thing from another!

What exactly do you mean by Nollywood is a $3B industry? Do you really believe that even if you take all the Nollywood movies ever made... their production costs.... and revenues... that it would amount to $3B? Who even tracks... or can track the number of Nollywood movies?...let alone the revenue? We need to stop repeating such nonsense.

I don’t think there’s a record where the movie industry was formally named ‘Nollywood’, names can come out of nothing, sometimes unconventionally, and then it becomes popular and preferably used. Same with ‘Afrobeats’.

The name isn't the reason why the Nigerian movie industry isn't taken seriously (though it's a phony name) but the real problem lies with the the same old,crappy voodoo storylines and poor grahyics.Indians seem to be doing fine with Bollywood.

You need to check yourself
Feel your forehead with the back of your palm your temprature must be rising, your skin is hot.....right? And you have a rapid heart rate, plus the headache, aching muscles and joints.
You are not well something is definitely wrong with you, maybe it's fever or maybe it's your body overworked by the stress of managing a minimally functional brain whatever the case see a doctor and stop ranting.

Dejumo Lewis is one veteran actor I have so much respect for

Yep.....When people like Dejumo Lewis talk, you listen.

This is Kabiyesi talking, afterall.

But I think the Nollywood name is pretty much here to stay, as people seem to be ok with it in general.

Copy Copy should be South East Motto, because they dominate Molly firewood, What do you expect from a land that imitates everything from fake drugs to fake shoes, fake cloths everything is fake down there. Last week channels TV reported a case of Igbos caught producing fake Hero alcoholic Beers to public consumptions, imagine as if Hero beer is not fake enough, they had to fake a fake.
Thousands of Nigerians are dead because of these imitation mentality, may God see us...............
Lol. What a hateful man! What do you say about 'Kannywood'? It's only in Nigeria that you find two movie industries. Can anybody explain why it's so?

You are ignorant!

Hollywood is the name of a town in California! Which town in Nigeria is called Nollywood or Kanywood? You guys copy things abroad without knowing what they even stand for.
