Nollywood is a robust industry that has created an enormous market all over the world, and become immensely popular and influential. Which is where the problem arises, because the promoters of Nolywood are not thinking of CULTURE, or of the COUNTRYS PUBLIC RELATIONS profile. All that concerns them is making money, and by the fastest means possible. Their first and primary concern therefore is to find what themes or methods will bring in the fastest buck. Now we know what the cost of this has been. Their focus almost exclusively on heroes who pursue material wealth ruthlessly, and always through recourse to witchcraft, homicidal violence, and gory money rituals has given the world a very negative, very pernicious image of the Nigerian man and woman. Most people I know are worried about this, and wish to correct this. Femi Osofisan, Nigerian dramatist, poet.
