Bollywood’s no. 1 position in terms of movies is quite well known. But it’s surprising that Nigeria’s “Nollywood” churns out so many movies.Have never ever seen a Nigerian film….

Nierian films are very entertaining and educative indeed. The films should be marketed more aggressively by the producers to all corners of the world.
