Nigeria’s movie industry fondly known as Nollywood has moved up the ranks. For the last couple of years Nollywood has been ranked as No. 3 in terms of quantity output on the list of film industries worldwide. Last week, UNESCO Institute for Statistics announced that Nollywood has overtaken Hollywood on that list. We wish the quality of the Nollywood movies start gaining as much recognition as the quantity.
