I'm so glad #NewNollywood is now giving us movies we pay 2 watch in cinemas, not cos we want to 'support' our own but cos they're that great https://t.co/0WHj8dQYmi

Even when they gave us cringe-worthy movies, we patronized, all over Africa, in diaspora & in Caribbean, glad to have OUR own stories told..

We can’t help but agree with her.
This is not just a random occurrence. The shift from being proud of telling our stories, to voting with our pockets and forcing them to get better, to big thinkers like Izu Ojukwu (old player) and Mo Abudu (new player) forcing the change forward.
Imagine if our country follows a similar trajectory.
The Wedding Party is truly a gift to Nollywood.
