Nollywood is one of the big movie producers in the world. In Nigeria there is an ocean. Kindly why nollywood is not producing movies in the ocean. it would be good to have Nigerian movies where people are diving deep in the ocean, seeing people diving with sharks and dolphins, etc.

You got the money for a decent underwater camera? Or for insurance in case of incasity? Or protective gear and cages? Or trained personell and stunt people?


The first person to take underwater pictures had to specifically invent a camera for the business, because none existed at that time

Most South Africans are not even aware that in Nigeria there is an Ocean, because ocean does not appear in Nigerian movies.

Ordinary river shoot they end up dead like junior pope and the others. Now you want ocean shoot.

Seems you want a mass drowning/burial of the entire cast and crew.

The cheapest specialized underwater camera costs 1.2 million naira.

That's a specialized camera for making movies.

Nolloywood is one of the best movie industries in the world, and I am sure money is not a problem in their side. Nollywood producers in their movie budget they should cater money for training crew, money for insurance, etc

After ocean the next one is outer space.

Aki and Pawpaw captured by aliens at Jupiter in the year 7000. Nigeria begs America for use of Star Trek intergalactic spaceship to rescue them.

Anyway I’m not a fan of science fiction. I prefer gangster or mafia movies or action, like Scarface, Last Don, Godfather, James Bond etc.

Those water bodies are swimming pools and CGI.

Most Nollywood movies are based on our culture and traditions, why should we shoot movies diving deep in oceans when the story is about a village settlement?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
South Africa already defeated Hiv.
All people that have Hiv are on treatment and some are healed already.

Does Nigeria have Hiv stats, sorry I forgot that is unable to calculate it's population.

I am sure in the olden days, Nigerians used to interact with the ocean before the settlement of whites.
They used to do finishing or traveling using the ocean

Then have some respect for Nigerians when you're on Nairaland. Or go to Zululand to keep mocking us.

Find work to do and leave Nigerians be. Mind the affairs of your fellow bloodthirsty and xenophobic South Africans instead.

Why Nigerians want to work in South Africa, they must go back and work in their country
