The Nigerian movie industry popularly known as Nollywood inarguably is the third largest movie industry in the world after Hollywood and directly behind Bollywood.

The industry which officially began with the legendary film entitled, “Living In Bondage,” in 1992 was unique.

It negatively portrayed Ndi Igbo as evil, who placed premium on money than human life. It ridiculed the very existence of …
