| Nollywood - Nigeria |
 |
April 2005
First there was Hollywood. Then came
Bollywood and now Nollywood. The Nigerian
film industry is the third biggest in the
world.
Up to a thousand movies are released in
Nigeria every year but the country still
lacks any cinemas. The movies are for the
home video market. It's a world where anyone
can be a star and the hottest place to do
business is Lagos market. As director Ralph
Nwadike states: "Nollywood is here to stay.
Bollywood watch out, Hollywood here we come."
