d77official: Don’t ever compare Afrobeat to Nollywood, una wey make other countries come Dey think say all Nigerians Dey do Juju.
iamwammie: Nah!!! – Nollywood is responsible for the bad misrepresentation and most of the Negative stereotypes that Nigerians suffer today. So, before you hype nonsense, you need to really think it true. Y’all did more harm to the culture than good in my own opinion.
udoka2301: Many of you are still struggling to settle down with all your money and fame.
iamstephliet: Blood sisters! As a teenager, that movie made me despise Genevieve so much but thank God for growth & maturity. I love Genny to stupor now, she can never do wrong my eyes 🥰🥰.
josh_ighomena’: …way before Afrobeat 😂.
lizzyofvalor: You will learn a lot from the old nollywood than the new……I prefer watching the old,the way they speak ,the acting was real unlike now that every Tom dick and Harry is an actor👏👏👏👏👏.
audreys_kiddies_apparels: Stella Damasus eeeeei In the second slide is epic 😂😂 I love watching these ladies and the likes of Emeka Ike, Ramsey Noah… they made my childhood memorable ❤️.
benbills007: That’s a fact but Afrobeatz brought the money into Nigeria entertainment 😊.
