Considering the blockbuster films produced in Nigeria, it would not be erroneous to assert that Nollywood has produced the best in the African filmmaking industry. When it comes to talents and films, the Nigerian filmmaking industry is well-rated in Africa as a whole.

However, should one become an enthusiast of Nollywood films and the industry practitioners, one would get attached to them, such that he becomes a fan of a practitioner. This is why when they (the actors) die, it’s usually a massive blow to the fanbase and the Nollywood industry at large.
