[@mercywaithaka3708]

What kind of stupid question is "where did you get the money" and where did you get the expertise?" I swear white folk can be so ignorant. Anyhu, Genevieve... We love you from Kenya

[@tommycastro83]

@Mercy Waithaka Don't mind them. They are Arrogant and too proud

[@queencyrose1063]

They are not too proud, it's a good question because nollywood would never fund movies, and he asked Because most people won't know how they movie was funded, so now people know that they can also self fund a great movie..

[@PHlophe]

Rosita, how do they make movies if these aren't funded ? he is dim, so are you lol!. she is 22 year old veteran .

[@fredobus261]

That question jolted me also. For such a high calibre journalist to ask that question in 2018 is surprising as well as insulting.

[@ikennai274]

C'mon guys, must we always attach sentiments with our dealings with whites? That question is typical when success stories are told and it was asked because both the interviewer and the interviewee know its still an issue in the industry. Genevieve did a good justice to the question by starting with the word "unfortunately", so we now know they effort they put to overcome the challenge. Richard Quest talks well alot about Africa in the business world and he is one of the few top CNN journalists that visits African countries. He was in Nigeria last year and mentioned alot about how powerful, wealthy and successful Nigeria is as a country.... So he already knew the answer. It was just a typical question most journalists will ask. We really need to change our mindset on some of these issues.

Am so disappointed that Richard Quest can be these ignorant with the level of exposure he has, if these questions was asked by an average American with no exposure, i won't be surprised because this man has been to Nigeria a couple of times and also Africa. The word "Mainstream" i don't understand from his view because Nollywood is mainstream, it not necessary we gets validation from the Americans. God bless you more Genny.

[@thinkingmom1193]

When Hollywood first started their quality wasn't a tenth compare to Nollywood's content. What is the obesssesion with Africa? They are always looking for opportunities to degrade them regardless of what they do and achieve. They should be praised for their current achievements which was possible without the help of foreigners. What about the poor qualities? Give me a break, no one cares about the quality, we care about the rich content they are continuously implementing in their movies. It is a colossal waste to invest money in quality as done by Hollywood. Hollywood was the only monopoly, but no more. (On a side note, KZbin does not honor the Piracy Act when it involves Africa, fear not, it will backfire.)
