Weekly Discussion:Is Nollywood Destroying Africa’s film industry?

In terms of annual film production, Nollywood is the second largest industry in the world, ahead of Hollywood and behind Bollywood. Quantity or quality, which one will you go for? Well, i just came across this on BBC Africa Have Your Say, a programme that connects Africans together to discuss the issues that affect their daily lives. Check it out below…

The BBC Africa Kicks bus has left Ibadan and Africa Have Your Say comes live from Lagos, the headquarters of the budget Nigerian film industry known as Nollywood. Nollywood makes billions of dollars and has become the staple entertainment for millions across the continent. But some believe mass production is compromising standards.

What do you think? Is Nollywood ruining Africa’s young film industry? Do you watch Nollywood films and if so why? If not, why not? Do you think Africa’s film industry would be taken more seriously on the global stage if it weren’t for Nollywood? Or would your life just not be the same without Nollywood films? Send us your views.
