But I keep praying for brands and celebrities alike to also support Nollywood the same way they support BLACK PANTHER and COMING TO AMERICA 2 like a six unit course.

Many fans supported the notion and express dissatisfaction, as our support is not be reciprocated.

Truth be told, aside celebrities and brands, Most Nigerians, show more interest in foreign movies than our home made movies.

Some people go by the excuse that the content of Nigerian movies is poor, but blind support by Bollywood fans propel Indian movies to the height it has gained this day.

Even thou we can’t close our eyes to the fact that some Nollywood movies have nothing to write home about, our support will go a long way as it has the potence to shape the industry.
