Corny as some of nollywood movies are, we still have to applaud the industry for coming thus far. It's risen to become the third largest film industry in the world.
Wikipedia puts it this way: The cinema of Nigeria is a developing industry that has become increasingly productive in recent years. Although Nigerian films have been produced since the 1960s, the rise of digital cinema has resulted in a growing video film industry. The Nigerian video feature film industry is sometimes colloquially known as Nollywood. The term is of uncertain date and origin, but is derived from Hollywood in the same manner as Bollywood.
Here are some of the popular nollywood faces:
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Kate Henshaw-Nuttall
Ini Edo
Rita Dominic
Genevieve Nnaji
Dakore Egbuson
Stephanie Okereke
