movie industry, according to recent
indices, is falling in terms of patronage of films
being churned out on DVDs and CDs. Instead of
buying the original release, movie buffs go for
the pirated copies which are packaged in a 10-
in-one DVDs.
Even at the cinemas, Nigerians prefer to watch
foreign movies which have better storylines and
deliveries. These foreign movies also take their
viewers’ consciousness away from the make-
believe world into the real world while watching
them, which is one thing Nollywood is lacking.
At the recently concluded Lekki Phase 1, Lagos
Festival, star actress, Rita Dominic used the
occasion to turn herself into a movie seller.
While the event was set up for residents of the
area to have fun, Rita saw the business side of
it and gladly grabbed the opportunity to sell
DVDs of her film, The Meeting.
Rita got a stand at the event and personally
sold the movies to those at the event. Ini Edo,
who is a resident of the area, was also at the
carnival as well as Kate Henshaw.
