I must add that Nollywood is contributing a great deal in changing the image of Nigeria and Nigerians in the world from 419 stories for many people. There is such a positive view of Nigeria/ns from Americans, other Africans from the continent, and West Indians who watch these movies religiously. It is a powerful tool that can be used to do a lot of good for Nigeria and her image.
While I think that it is wise to write letters to 20/20, I also think that Nigeria should grow what we as African people can control - our own images through movies. That is the genius and magic which is called Nigeria's Nollywood. Time will solve a lot of these problems if Nigerians work at the single goal with discipline and committment, and not let naysayers take control of their minds.
