All you see in the films are girls who want to meet rich men who can take care of them, or girls whose parents are already rich and so they tend to be spoilt and not work anymore because their parents are made, why is that so?
tell me oh, because i watch a movie with my flatmates, and this discussion came up, as much excuses i could come up with(like most of them are from poor homes...and blah blah blah) it just didnt make sense!
Good point and I remember a thread where suggestion for movies being asked and I mentioned something along this line (suggesting that they use real life stories if we can't make it up) but was told that the time or the money for research is not available in Nollywood. I am sure they will get there someday once the serious producers remain and it is no longer a domain for all and sundry.
