The best solution is just to keep it locked up in the drawers and wait for the right people to take control of nollywood.Something that most talented writers in naija are currently and wisely doing.

You know that happened in Hollywood. Script readers are supposed to read a script and decide if the studio should pass (happens with most scripts), consider or Recommend a script (that only happens about a few times a year) Anyways some folx decided to send in classics like the African Queen, Casablanca etc. change the names etc. and see what the script reader said. They passed on almost everyone, and these were supposed to be Classics.
That would be a good idea for Nollywood. Take oscar winning or nominated screenplays from early Hollywood and other award winning screenplays/stories to now and see what happens. Better yet stories from Chinua Achebe etc.
