I don’t know what needs to happen in Nollywood but you people cannot keep making objectively bad films and wasting people’s money at the cinema. It’s fucked up and inconsiderate

I’ve seen close to 10-13 Nollywood films that opened at the cinema this year and only about 2 of them were decent. Making a simple, well considered and logically sound films isn’t impossible. You people just don’t care enough.

It’s bloody 2026. Budgets have gone up, there’s increased interest; why are we still making films devoid of common sense. Why are you still coloring and shooting like that??? Do you people even like what you do?

Hi, “That political party” is currently recruiting influencers by the way. Was offered 1 million naira per post for 4 posts which I found really ludicrous. Y’all are about to witness so many levels whitewashing in the coming weeks. Do with this what you will.
