For keeping our home alive in our hearts (those of us in the diaspora) and for giving us an avenue to keep it alive in the hearts of our children.

Una dey try, keep it up and push yourselves further!

I concur!

Crystalgirl, not only John Okafor, but Nkem Owoh, Charles Awurum, Adah Ameh etc.

Also, classics like Igodo, Issakaba, Ukwa, Madam Dearest, Magun, and others too numerous to mention

The audio. Nollywood did listen and started taking care of the audio. The earlier days, it was impossible to hear the dialogue for the background music. Recently the tide has been in the opposite direction, we can now hear the actors most of the time. Even in some productions, background music is sometimes cut out completely when actors are speaking. Great plus in the right direction.

This is also a form of helpful feedback.

This is an extension of the "Tell the producers" thread.

I think it's great that producers are getting their hands on and talking about issues that we as people are affraid to tackle in Nigeria. In movies such as "Yahoo Millionier" - it adressess, 419 Scams, social issues that needs to be brought to light.
"the Revelation" - addressess, adultry and HIV/AIDS, which we don't address enough and is yet another heavy social issue.

I definately love the storylines, the humor that some of these movies give us. And watching some of the movies comfort me to a given extent when I am home sick (as crazy as that may sound)

do your best and continue to confuse and trick audience by naming different parts to a movie with completely different titles.

Good job. After 20 odd yrs you definately climbing up.

oh i forgot, one more thing, increase the volume to background music louder, so we can actually hear what the actors are saying.

nonsense

oh they sure do
1. The background noise of construction or someone screaming "ACTION!" has lessened
2. I havent seen plastic flowers in a lil bit, where the man gives to the woman and she smells it like she is smelling roses, when its blatantly clear its "plastic"
3. I dont see orange juice being drank out of wine glasses any more

Let me think of more (as american "jeopardy show" theme song plays in my head

)
