Nollywood movies and it's Viewers

CHRONICLES OF NOLLYWOOD MOVIES
So, days ago I watched a Nigerian movie and the scene is that typical one where the director wishes to depicts a pupil as very intelligent. Her private tutor asked her who amalgamated the Northern and Southern protectorate of Nigeria, before I knew it the young beautiful charming young girl who was supposedly very intelligent responded ' Usman Dan Fodio' and the tutor said 'correct clap for yourself'! I was like somebody just switch off something in my brain. I went off!!!

Truth be told, the Nollywood industry has been quite a famous industry in both Nigeria and worldwide and this is the case despite the poor technology cinematography work, the lack of care by the crew members, the fact that the director don't want to spend a penny in producing the movie: like even a plate will not be broken in the shooting of the movie ooo, the stinginess to employ other crew members: here you will see something like Chinua Adekunle is the producer, director and script writer, Chinua Akinlola( the younger brother) is the camera man, editor and costume, and maybe their cousin will be the executive producer! 

Despite all these the movie market seems to grow very well. One wonders which group of Nigerians are watching those movies. In the word's of Chimamanda Adichie ' Nollywood is a perfect example of Nigerians consuming what they produce'.

So basically there are different types of Nigerians base on the Nollywood movies viewers.

1. The first are the ones who don't even mention the word 'Nollywood'. These ones are so angry and have lost all hope when it comes to Nollywood.
2. The second are those who don't watch Nollywood movies but do watch any that becomes a blockbuster. These ones are 'amibo'(gossipers), they can't do without knowing what is trending
3. Thirdly are those who are patiently waiting for Nollywood movies of high quality, the likes of Wedding Party, When Love Happens Again, Isoken, Lotanna, etc. These ones are monitoring spirit, they just keep monitoring till they get what they want.
4. Another group are those that because of lack of subscription to download and maybe no access to channels on their Television are unable to watch other movies so they are just stick with Nollywood movies, I call them stuckers.
5. Also , there are those who take Nollywood as strictly business. They are just enduring it because of the payment, example the actress, actors, crew members. The Labour market is tight oo.
6. Finally are those that will kill for Nollywood movies. These ones astonish me. Their perseverance is alarming and sometimes infuriating. They are core viewers of Nollywood and watch nothing except this.

Deep within my heart I know the group I fall into and so do you. However to focus on the bad side is simply to dispossess Nigeria of its diversity. *Nigeria no dey carry last*. When I look at Nollywood movies, the likes of Lion's Heart, Isoken, Her Excellency, etc. I smile and wipe my tears.
