Voices: Nigerian Women and Nollywood Films

Bewaji
(Joy Isi Bewaji)--Trying to survive a long flight, I got adventurous and clicked on a Nollywood movie.
Emirate flights from Dubai to New York have Nollywood movies, yes. There was the popular Fifty- the movie, and others on my list.
Fifty is not a movie you watch a second time. That is not an insult, there are many things we will not do a second time. It takes overpowering genius to make movies that people want to appreciate more than once.
It is why we have movies like The Godfather or The Sound of Music or Titanic.
PS: I do not want to see a Kevin Hart movie, not even once. Comedy has to be about wit, not people acting stupid. So if I am not laughing when you keep a straight face and act/tell a joke, then I'm not going to even patronize funny gestures with a smile.
PSS: I will watch those Falz's skits more than once.
