I just don't think a lot of the movies are realistic but they are fun to watch. |
I railed against this in "Traumatized" and "Games Men Play." The screen writers in Nollywood don't do enough research to do the topic justice nor do they explore other story lines that can serve to encourage. The men are brutal and unfaithful, the women are sluttish, the mother in laws are wicked and know every babalao with strong medicine, the married woman is boring, the village people are poor, the boss is corrupted, the secretary wants the boss, the college students all belong in cults, the police wants bribe etc etc. I am not saying these issues or type of people don't exist BUT not EVERY PERSON in Nigeria is reflective of these issues or character-types.
