Nollywood movie veteran Nkem Owoh, a.k.a. Osuofia, said on Thursday that the stories in Nigerian films are far superior to those in Bollywood and Hollywood.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, Osuofia stated this (NAN).
According to him, Nigerian films show real-life stories and events in their surroundings, and it is incorrect to compare the quality of Nigerian films to those from advanced countries.
According to him, Nigerian film producers solely use technology acquired from such advanced countries.

“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”.
The thespian stated that with the available technology in place, Nollywood had been to the next level of improvement.
Osuofia, who rated Nollywood high, said, “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”.
