About this blog

This blog will go indepth to analyze the Nollywood industry and how the internet has influenced its spread. The Nollywood movie industry developed in 1990, and has been producing more movies than the U.S. and India since then. The Nollywood movies usually contain morals about life, like the ones heard in oral stories. They are characterized by the voodoos and evils in our society, and the exaggeration of everyday situations that make the best dramas for T.V.
Before the popularity of the internet, the Nollywood industry remained low scale. But the emergence and popularity of the internet has popularized it and has connected the indigens of Nigeria and fans of Nigerian movies to watch Nollywood movies via the internet.

My favorite actress?

Genevieve Nnaji.She is the most misunderstood actress in Nollywood. She paved the way for dark skinned actresses into the industry. People see her as a snobby person, but even though I don't know her, I can probably guess that she is not. I can relate to her so much, but I don't know why. I trust that her movies are the type that I like and she has never disappointed me in all of the movies I have watched with her in it. In this photo, she had an interview with Pinto, the CNN interviewer, about her new movie, The Mirror Boy. I have not seen this one online yet. I can't wait to see the movie.

    I can only imagine the strength of personality that actresses like her needed to make the break for themselves and everyone after them! What a role model!
