Fun fact: Nigerian music industry and Nollywood BUILT Ghanaian entertainment industry! Yet these African countries sometimes even Ghana feel the need to attack Nigeria and spread hate. Thinking by bringing Nigeria down you will shine See outside, all they see is Africa they dont know who is who, so if you bring down people who are showing off Africa to the world out of jealousy, you are also cutting yourself off opportunities!

Nigeria has more than 250 ethnic groups..so many stories, so much history, so much content. Nigeria is indeed a giant.

[@dermotwallace5533]

Actually 450 in total.

Nigeria is the measurement aka yardstick for them.

What do you expect, Nigeria is the giant of Africa u know

[@michaelsegunfarinmade3635]

By the time Africa knows that everything is not about competition that is when things would be OK for us

[@imdinma9826]

That’s wrong. Competition breeds creativity and growth

[@billinuma8078]

I hope we can triple film revenues in the next 3 years. As a Nigerian with an entertainment background, I enjoyed this conversation. A lot to learn.

God bless Nigeria let us take care of our problem with bad leaders and successionist groups like (Biafra oduduwa and arewa) then we will surprise the world God bless my country 🇳🇬

[@emekaaguocha6201]

This man is talking nonsense... Nigerian government don't give any kind of support to the Nigerian citizens, it was an individual effort that got the movie and music industry where they are. When you guys talk about how come Nigerians are successful in the music and movie industry, you forget one thing... Talent.

[@billinuma8078]

They did, under Jonathan financing was made available for filmmakers. I think Buhari's government was also talking about funding for the creative industry after the end sars protest.

[@emekaopara4333]

They did. Government funded the movie industry.. do your research.

[@akposatigbi6531]

Jonathan did a major funding for nollywood during his tenure

[@leoudeji]

Nollywood was booming across Africa before Ex President Goodluck Jonathan provided more funds for them. So do not think that the funds provided to Nollywood for expansion is the reason for its success.

[@Kastady]

they did AFTER THEY REALIZED MOMEY WAS COMING FROM THERE. WHEN IT WAS ADDING TO THE COUNTRY'S GDP. ELSE IT HAS BEEN PRIVATE FUNDING AND THAT WAS WHAT BROUGHT NOLLYWOOD TO THE LIMELIGHT

I like the guy.. He’s logical and I loved where he said international recognition is not the hall mark of success... Except where Nollywood is 98 percent privately funded! The remaining 2 percent is occasionally when the government or private banks get involved!

[@GreatBASHY]

Wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!! You can only say what you know and not what you think.

[@youorme2250]

I didn't really understand what you tried saying about nollywood, but as a Nigerian who follows entertainment industry closely, investment has always been by private investors, not government. It has been a wrong notion other Africans usually have about our entertainment industry. Nigerian government hasn't invested in more vital industries like education, health, power, etc is it entertainment that they will have the mind to invest in?

[@GreatBASHY]

@@youorme2250 what is your definition of investment? If provision of enable environment is part of investment then you are wrong.

[@youorme2250]

@@GreatBASHY you keep saying wrong wrong without any fact.. you are not even a Nigerian. We are not talking about enabling environment, we are talking about everything that has to do with getting th job done from monetary resources, human resources, to general funding and sponsorship are made available by private individual investors or privately owned companies.. Nigerian government does not invest in the entertainment industry in Nigeria. Unless they will start that later..

Nollywood is the third biggest in the world

[@MsB405]

I live in the Caribbean and the Only movies they sell there are American Movies and Nigerian Movies. Nigerian Movies is big in the Caribbean, on most Island there. i have never seen a South African movie, but i have watched thousand of Nigerian movies and a few Ghana movies. But American and Nigerian Movies dominate the Caribbean for sure.

[@abdulabdul-qg3mc]

Berndy joseph I was talking about quality, not popularity. Try and see a South African movie, don’t take my words for it. A few are online.
