2015 was a good year for Nollywood no doubt, we saw lots of
great movies, and I mean the likes of Gbomo Gbomo Express, The Visit,
Dry, Taxi Driver and lots more. But I think you would agree with me
when I say 2016 is more promising for our precious New Nollywood, we are
still in February and 2016 has already seen great movies like
Suru’Lere, Fifty, Dairy of a Lagos Girl and Couple of Days.
