Methinks the governments and "elite" in Africa are afraid of this not because "the Nigerians are going to eat everything", but rather because they are afraid of an Africa where "[OPPONENT] is going to eat all of our food" is no longer a relevant political attack. They are afraid of success and wealth leaking down to the general population.
Good for Nigeria. It's nice to hear about Nigeria in a context outside of email scams for once.
- maxklein 16y agoNo, they are afraid of this because the films are rubbish that promote witchcraft and are designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Go and watch them - anyone with half a brain will find them terrible There is no conspiracy - it's really bad movies made in very short periods of times - that's why the educated, who the article refers to as "elites" talk bad about the movies. And the governments of non-nigerian countries just want to develop their local film industry. The government of nigeria fully supports and helps the local film industry. The entire article is just horribly researched and is giving you bad information.
