"Nollywood Today and Beyond"

Nigeria have a movie industry called NOLLYWOOD. I am a big fan of nollywood. From time to time this blog will be featuring movie stars of nollywood.

Nollywood grew from the rich traditional culture of Nigeria but has evolved and grown into a modern internationally recognized industry. It is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, provides jobs for thousands of Nigerians, who otherwise would have been unemployed and languishing.

Nollywood is now getting viewings at international festivals, which can only be a good thing. Osofia In London" (2003) put Nollywood on the map in that respect.

Now Nollywood has its own Annual Awards,

There are also the STARS of Nollywood, who mostly are talented individuals. In the old days the actors were the producer, playwirights etc, but now its more streamlined. The workers in this industry are graduates some even have a second degree Nigerians are talented, inovative and productive and the success of Nollywood has proved this. A few of the Nollywood Stars are featured here.
