Nigerian Movies
Nigerian movies. SJ Dodgson MJoTA 2013 v7n2 p1126

I love watching Nigerian movies. These movies are an acquired taste for anyone brought up on European, Australian, British and Hollywood movies. Unquestionably, it you want fast-pace movies, you need to go to Hollywood.


Nigerian movies tend to be morality tales, I have seen more than a few about mother-in-law unhappy with their son's wife and plotting her removal. Oh my.

I started watching Nigerian movies in September 2006, when CAC pastor Osagie Lawrence Edoro-Ighalo lived in an apartment in Blackwood, NJ, and used one room as his video/audio studio. The other room, his bedroom, had a constant supply of Nigerian movies, and one day, I started watching them.

At first, I couldn't understand the accents, so I realized I needed to keep watching them until I could understand what people were saying. By the time I caught on to the accent, I was hooked on Nigerian movies.


So, what was the logical next step? Going to Nigeria to set up a movie studio. What else. That is what we did. Read about it below.

I am not giving any links to Nigerian movies because they all include advertising; and the MJoTA.org sites are advertising free.

This by itself is interesting, and is clearly the way that many Nigerian movies are being marketed. Revenues are coming to the film-makers from advertising on YouTube. Brilliant.

A major problem that has plagues Nigerian film-makers for at least a decade is pirated movies. Once a irate has in his or her hand a copy of the movie, many copies can be made and CDs sold that benefit the pirate, with no revenue going back to the producer.
