When Nigeria movies and its stakeholders are busy celebrating its growth and escapades,strong indications are that this current celebration of Nollywood,the Nigerian movie industry as the third largest and fastest growing movie industry in the world after Hollywood and Bollywood will soon be a thing of the past considering the latest discovery that a website operated by a certain Devace Nigeria,an arm of Devace Inc.USA and indeed several other websites show the latest Nollywood films free of charge even before their release in Nigeria to those who want to watch them.
All you need to get into any film of your choice is just a click away.And it is on a full TV window which could be dubbed by any one who cares.When attention was called to the new development,it was very difficult to believe that such a thing exists now that movie makers of Nigerian stock are seeking alternative ways of turning around the fortunes of the industry especially in the area of quality production and distribution.
Dealers on Nigerian films in Europe also notice that their business falling as latest consignments of their movies remain stuck in their shops.According to them,their shop that use to be filled to the brim by those who want to enjoy the show but the story is different now.Before now more than 1000 visitors come into their shops asking for Nigerian movies but the number started dwindling and that was when they realise something is amiss.When they gotto know of the site they were shocked to the marrows.Their appeal is for Nigerian government to do something drastic about this before their only means of cultural imperialism dies an unnatural death.
Findings exposes the fact that it may be in a bid to outsell each other and of course discover new marketing out lets in an industry that lacks better organisation for production and distribution that Nollywood marketers make these films available to the organizers of the website who make millions of Naira, dollars and Euro in the process because any click on the Google advert links on the pages yield so much for the hosts or organizers of the website.
They want the Federal Ministry of Information,Culture and Tourism,National Orientation Agency,Nigerian Film Corporation,The National Film and Video Censors Board and of course the EFCC to set up an investigation to stop the nonsense.
