That it's those close to you that can hurt you the most
Never to trust anyone blindly
Not to tell your girlfriends everything
Never to take anything at face value
To love with all your heart and to expect to be loved back
That it's important to have a career as a woman

Nollywood is reality, Hollywood is fantasy. The Naija movies I have seen all deal with reality and truth that we sometimes do not wish to confront, or want to fool ourselves into thinking this or that cant happen to us.

These movies also reenforce that life is about trust or treachery, you know.

On a more serious note I have found out that a Danfo in Nigeria is similar to likkle bus in Jamaica, conductor, touts, hustling and all

Nothing, what can a nolly movie teach you...my sister went from a cool babe to some shaje babe all in the name of these movies(very irritating). My friends are the ones teaching me he lessons of a lifetime not nollywood movies. Nothing, absolutely nothing. They are just for entertainment.

I'm going to be totally honest about this. Here goes...

What I've learnt from nollywood homvies be say any Tom, ****, Harry, and their uncle can be an actor/actress. You know dat saying about idiots and hamburger? You know the one that say any idiot can flip hamburger? I see similarities here.
BTW, I'm not calling anyone in nollywood an idiot, o.k? 'cause I may need to borrow money from them in the future. My Mom always reminds me of that.

I have learned that water in a home swimming pool is a waste

I have learned THERE IS NO TRAFFIC IN LAGOS...no go slow and nobody trying to sell you MTN card

I have learned that the rich only shop in supermarket -they no sabi Yaba

I have learned that it doesn't matter what furniture I have in my mansion. All that matters is that I have a mansion

I have learned that after 10 years of marriage, if my husband throws me out I leave with two little over night bags - already packed!

I have learned that as part of the upper class, I no dey chop eba,o....Rice and Chicken all the way, baby!

I have learned that in homvies, nobody uses bathroom,o

I have learned they don't pay light bill, o because the television is always ON

I have learned that I don't have to fight for a man when I have Baba who can help me land him

I have learned I don't have to hold a job as long as Sugar Daddies dem dey kampeeeeeeeeeee

Why do I notice a trend where peopel "bash" these movies. I mean some will be trashy, but such is life, we have a choice? Nigeria has something good happening here. Its your own, love it, accept it. Do not reject it and allow foreigners to come in "invest" and take away creative control. Then is when it will be really bad.

In any event, that is what some people want, outside acceptance by others.
