No Africa Magic For My Child

(Chi-Chi Nnani)--NO child of mine is allowed to watch Africa Magic.

Until they clear up their CRAP programming. No. Not happening.

Some people don't realise those things they watch, aren't real. Apart from that, they can't happen. I said it the other day, that Nigerians engage with organised religion out of FEAR. That is the basis of a lot of their activities, including those ridiculous "fall down and die" prayers. I don't know how any sane person can put themselves in such a situation.

(Fortune)--Last year, data was released showing that Nollywood is a $3 billion industry. It is bigger than Hollywood by volume, and right behind India’s Bollywood.

In 1992, in Nigeria, electronics salesman Kenneth Nnebue shot a straight-to-video movie in one month, on a budget of just $12,000. Living in Bondage sold more than a million copies, mostly by street vendors, and Nollywood – Nigeria’s movie industry – was born.

By 2009, Nollywood had surpassed Hollywood as the world’s second largest movie industry by volume, right behind India’s Bollywood. And in 2014, the Nigerian government released data for the first time showing Nollywood is a $3.3 billion sector, with 1844 movies produced in 2013 alone.
