The Nigerian Movie Industry
(Nollywood) - The Origin (History)
Here is a condensed rendition (yet luxuriously edifying) from one of the articles I composed concerning
this topic.
Film display started to flourish during the Colonial period, with Glover Memorial Hall playing host to a
scope of noteworthy movies saw by "potential Nigerians", in August 1903. Notwithstanding, the non-
accessibility of appropriate records mirroring the title of the presentation film displayed has made a slip
by in the point of reference stock. Regardless the lacuna, the way had been cleared for the presentation
of more unfamiliar movies at the Hall and other assigned scenes. Nollywood Nigerian movies
The sincerely damaging "Expert - Servant" relationship, clear in the consistent attacks, batteries,
terrorizing, isolation, exploitation, completed by the Colonial bosses on the colonized, with obscured
billows of hatred, retaliation, hunger for opportunity, offering approach to splattering drops of such
considerations, instinctually projected through the colonized discontinuous in-subordinate activities,
started to spread among the blacks. The British realized they needed to string with alert on the off
chance that they actually needed to play "god" in their lives when movies, for example, Tales of
Manhattan, Trailer horn, Tarzan series started to work up an unrest in the hearts of Blacks across the
globe.
Mindful of the deadly force of uprising which could be released through the Film medium, the British
out of dread for their lives and conceivable loss of the Queen's power took the bull by the horn, and
quickly made a Colonial Film Censors Board (FCB) in 1933 to blue pencil and arrange films before they
were delivered for visual utilization by people in general. Following the foundation of the board, Films,
for example, "The crude, crude man, Dixie, Buffalo Bill, The Keys of the Kingdom, Sleepy Town Girl were
labeled 'reasonable' to be watched, while Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Clive of India, The Isle of Forgotten
Sins, House of Frankenstein were considered unsatisfactory for review.
The Censor's body went through a change interaction into the Federal Board of Film Censors (FBFC)
from the previously mentioned, and the laws from which the changed body got its forces went from the
1948 Cinematograph Laws of Nigeria, the Cinematograph Laws of 1963, to the 1963/64 Cinematograph
Law and Regulations. The current National Film and Video Censors Board appeared by ethicalness of
declaration, presently Act 85 of 1993. The approach of Nigeria's Independence (1960) and the
Republican status (1963), proclaimed the beginning of another time in all areas.
"The Yoruba Traveling Theater Group" of the 60's and 70's can be alluded to as the "Wellspring Head" of
film creations in Nigeria. The veterans with extraordinary Theatrical abilities and incredible exhibitions
took their works past the stage, and bird into the ocean of film creations utilizing the Celluloid
organization. Striking movie producers on the Roll call of Honor during the Celluloid blast period of the
70's incorporate Ola Balogun, Eddie Ugbomah, late Herbert Ogunde, Adeyemi Afolayan a.k.a Ade Love
(father of Kunle Afolayan of the Irapada notoriety), Ladi Ladebo, Moses Adejumo, Adebayo Salami and
Afolabi Adesanya.
