Nkem Owoh, a.k.a. Osuofia, a legend of Nollywood, said on Thursday that the plots of Nigerian films were far superior to those of their Bollywood and Hollywood counterparts.
Osuofia made the remark in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu.
“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”.
Osuofia, who rated Nollywood high, said, “If you check the time and how we started, you will give kudos because we are making tremendous progress in the industry.
“With the kind of technology we have now, I believe Nollywood has a very far distance to go positively”.
He, however, called for patience among upcoming actors, saying they should follow their progress gradually. (NAN)
