It never ceases to amaze me how people who are not in an industry can stand and speak as ‘authorities’ of the same; usually condemning it. Its kind of like the case of the White man that came to Africa for a few months and then goes back to speak as an ‘expert’ or authority on Africa . Pray, tell, can you know all about Africa or Nigeria in three months? Which brings me to the topic at hand and that is the case of Nollywood. I am writing not in defence of the industry but to state the facts and allow you to judge and make your own conclusions. I read the article in the July 2008 edition of Creativiti titled ‘The Film Industry: A documentation of the African Experience’ by Parselelo Kantai and in as much as what he said was true to some extent, I couldn’t help but shake my head.

Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji's directorial debut 'Lion Heart' has been snapped up by Netflix who own the international rights.

I believe now practitioners in the industry know it is possible and hopefully we see more movies from Nigeria on the platform. Then why am I not surprised that Genevieve has achieved this? Over the years, while having the opportunity to speak with her,
