| Wot you dont like them. It really depends where ur from if you can relate to them or not. They're not that bad, just lack of fundings thats all.

Badly writen(with a penchant for being so backward with women's role in society)badly acted, very underfunded and too obsessed with everything to do with witchcraft. Having said that, when i was in Nigeria i became too addicted to the stupidity and would spend hours laughing my ass off the damn films.... But now i can't stand them anymore, the stupidity isn't funny anymore and its actually upseting watching those pricks making a mockery of us.
I wish OBE and BEN would actually broadcast some fine films made by Mali, Senegal, Benin, Burkina Faso, Angola and South Africa.....at least they actually have an intelligent message to broadcast, even their comedies are acted rather than just shouted at the poor audience.

ok, yeah i know the the production budgets are not exactly hollywood but the couple movies I watched I thought the acting and storyline was actually quite good.(nothing to do with witchcraft) I dont know much about them like I said but im sure there are some other decent ones out there

i like them! some of them have a brilliant storyline, well written and produced very well, with brilliant actors. i have also seen some good ones that are shot in places like ghana, Nigeria, germany, America, London and holland. It is mainly the cheaply funded films that are really bad. Has anyone ever watched "Osafo (spelt the name wrong) in London", the film is very funny.
To get the good ones and the latest ones, its better to get them straight from Africa. the ones on OBE and BEN, are not the best.
I do agree with Mezmerized that there is this obsession with witchcraft, that used to really frighten me as a child. i call them ju ju movies with the bait special effects and that loud heavy music, sounding like thunder, when a realisation has been made, or some one is hurt. i laugh at some of them too, especially the long crying scenes, asking god why? and the women being facety to one another, and the obsession with church the pastor and infidelity. how many of these films have you watched when a woman uses ju ju to get a man or punish someone. the names of some of these films are funny too, "Hole in the heart" "love and courage", "blind love".
i agree with saywone1 they are very engrossing at times, like some soap operahs.
who watches "home sweet home" on OBE i really like it. its a bait spin off, off my wife and kids, but its put together quite well. it makes me want to go to ghana, anytime i watch it.

just to once again prove that we have more things in common than we have different..
these films you all are mentioing have American counterparts....
they are "hood " movies.....silly, low budget.....straight to dvd films with bad plots, cheap production values.....etc.etc...
you'' find some gems once in a while but 99% are garbage....and they get more airplay and shelf space than independent blacks films that you don't fit the genre...

Found a site with previews for Nigerian movies. They seem pretty popular in Ghana still even with the crackdown.
