  Veteran Nollywood actor, Alhaji Kareem Adepoju, aka Baba Wande, has once again reiterated on the challenges going on in Nollywood, why you see some shallow movies with all the paraphernalia needed and a beautiful story line recorded with poor cameras et al, with an overall shsbby output. He praised the English sector, which is mainly dominated by the Igbos, for the kind of investment doled out for their movie productions.

According to the actor, the challenges in the movie industry is lack of adequate investment. Stressing that an Igbo person will be ready to invest large amount of money into a movie production, while the Yoruba person, will invest little with high expectation.

The actor was quick to defend the Yoruba movie industry by stating that though investment might be high in the English aspect of the industry, but in terms of quality story line, the Yoruba movie is better off.

Kareem who has featured in many films including Mainframe’s Saworo Ide, Agogo Ewo, Akobi Gomina, Arugba and T’Oluwa Ni’le (which he wrote), among others, further pointed out that the Nollywood industry has great talented acts, but it is faced with challenges of good financing and better marketing.


Why cant they fuse together and give us beautiful Nigerian movies that makes sense (storyline) and is well made (money)?...What do you think?
