“Why Nollywood movies are better than other woods” – Actor Nkem Owoh spills

Veteran Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, has given a reason Nigerian movies are far better than those produced by other countries.

In a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the actor stated that Nigerian films depict real-life situations and events and that comparing the quality of Nigerian films to those from advanced and developed nations is inappropriate.

In his words;

“The storyline we take is better than any story from any Woods, we don’t have the technology, but we have the story.
We are a third world country coming up, and people should give us kudos for the level we have attained. I believe, with the stories and creativity among us, if we get the needed technology, we will go places.
If you check the time and how we started, you give kudos because we are making a tremendous progress in the industry. With the kind of technology we have now, I believe Nollywood has a very far distance to go positively.”
