BAD news, in the newsman's parlance, is good news. Not for Nollywood, the alias for Nigeria's home video industry, which was recently hit by bad weather in nearby Ghana.

Quoting a Ghana-based Nigerian business man, Mr. Uche Okafor, a newspaper reported last week that Nollywood productions were being shooed out of that country's movie market. He suggested that the authorities in Ghana might have banned the sale of movies originating from the highly prolific Nollywood. In his words, "Ghana is doing all, including outright seizure, to discourage the sale of Nigerian home videos in that country."

But what is Ghana's main reason for doing this, i can't see any?

short and simple NOLLYWOOD is taking over their own productions and they are not making money for their own, so get rid of nollywood in ghana so they will shine.
Ghana has a lot of talent all they need are good directors to tap into the talents and bring the best outta them.

Maybe they are mad cos y'all banned Genevieve cos you know they love Genny like no other.

But onthe real though, this is not going to go on for long, cos its just ludicrous and silly, this is just some upper official making STUPID decisions due to ego, in a few months this silly bann will be lifted. This news dont even faze me, cos it'll be over b4 u know it. I mean what the fcuk they gon do, come over here to the states to ban ghanaians watching naija movies too. I am ghanaian/nigerian and this is one of the most stupidest things i have ever heard. Bann and yet dont give tangible reason. What a crack.

They cant stop folks from liking Nolly flicks !!

Ob
