    I guess FREEDOM IN CHAINS was not written by anybody.or was it?I wonder why the writer was not acknowledged or is this the continuum of illiteracy and lack of information common in the nigerian’s appreciation of movies.

    @ Silas Uba. Thank you for your observation; however, we will appreciate it when you are less vulgar about it.

    We at Nollywood Watch stand for excellence and do respect and appreciate the IPR of everyone that deserve it as well as acknowledge talents for what they are. This is an over-sight on our side and we will provide the details sooner.

    I would not go as far as saying that illiteracy is the problem with Nigerian movies but more a lack of the confidence required to stand out and excel in the fast chaniging world of media entertainment. I do enjoy watching the movies and because I grew up in and spent most of my adult life in Nigeria, i am able to see past the desperate attempts of Nollywood actors and actresses to be as American / English/Western as possible – from the too often twisted, high pitched, guttural strangulated speech which passes for English to the ill fitting, unflattering western clothes that Nollywood actresses squeeeze themselves into.- and just enjoy the films for the messages they are attempting to send to the audience. Nollywood has the talent, drive and determination to be the best and it can be but it needs to be itself, this is the foolproof formula for success, it worked for Bollywood. I want my children and and Western friends to be able to enjoy Nollywood films with respect and not treat it as some sort of big comedy act full of actors overacting an action scene and women looking cheap and tacky in their awfully tight and revealing clothes that even the cheapest prostitute would not be caught dead in.

    I agree much what Mr.Olu remarked especially about Nollywood being itself. I enjoy different cultures of the world and respect the beauty of Nigerian culture; the clothes, the social structures and social civility. I admit I only saw a handful of Nigerian movies, but they are starred by famous (“A-List”) names. I was looking for the “missing context” -ie. when I watched most of them except for the ones which portrayed traditional setting like a village story, something felt not quite ‘fitting. When Mr Olu said about the ill-fitting clothes, I realise, that was one of the things that bothered me while watching the movies, not so much when its a traditional story-the clothes seems fine. I agree, be comfortable with your own niche-just like Bollywood does. They look fabulous with their own style. Nollywood should do the same, be yourself, you have lots to offer being not a hollywood wannabes.
