That is how we will start getting decent movies from nollywood more regularly.
Until then......
Mr Vince,

Even if a professional storyteller/screenwriter writes a script and hands it over to a Nollywood producer, be rest assured that it will still end up in multiple parts (even more parts than the usual nolly flick, because of the professional touch) Until the reason for the MPS (multi part syndrom) is tackled we are not going to see any change in this area.

The sales of nolly movies have drastically dropped, that there is no way they can make up the cost of production in a single part movie, only when the movies are extended to different parts, that some "pepper seem to rest" for them.

Though this is a fault of the producers as they have undermined quality a great deal, thereby making it easy for non prefessional to embrace the industry and flood the market with low quality movies.

Until the market pick up, we should not expect a decline in the MPS.
