Nollywood Gains Interest From Investors

From CNBC Africa

This is according to Nigerian film producer and director, Victor Okhai, who said that the Nigerian movie industry is growing due to the gradually increasing appetite of Africans for Nigerian movies.

 “We usually talk about African cinema and that’s what Nollywood typifies right now. The reason for that is simple, when you watch a Nigerian movie and you’re a Tanzanian, for example, you probably thinking of your uncle or being reminded of your cousin in that story,” he said.

“What’s interesting is that the Nigerian movies are doing what I call cultural neo-colonialism of the African continent.”
