I mean, if nollywood theme changes, what will it be about then? Space exploration? or Rocket Science in the 21st Century? Who's going to buy that in Africa? market women? or the Alhaji whom hasn't read a single book in 10 years?
Bottom line: Akos, you're asking for too much. If it aint really really broken, why try to fix it?

Same could be said for the science fiction films of America before we even had NASA
