Question

Read the article on page 119. Work in pairs and discuss how the writer of the article might answer the questions in Exercise 1.

Answer

  1. Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, is very  big – it produces 1,500 films a year (second only to India).
  2. It is successful, employs thousands of people and is worth $7 bn a year. The low budget approach has allowed it to grow quickly.
  3. Most films go straight to DVD because there are only 30 cinemas.
  4. Voodoo horror, gangster, crime, stories of poor people becoming rich, and domestic dramas 
  5. Invasion 1897 is an important film.
  6. Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen is a famous director. 
  7. He has made 200 feature films.
  8. The writer doesn’t really express a personal opinion. His early films followed the Nollywood pattern sounds quite negative, but the next comment (Imasuen’s recent films are more ambitious) is more positive.
