#Nollywood Rising: Welcome To Asaba!
Asaba is the capital of Delta State in Nigeria.
I call Asaba, the heartbeat of South-South of Nigeria.
Asaba has overtaken Lagos in the production of Nollywood movies. And the following articles have confirmed this significant development in the Nigerian film industry:

Peace Anyiam-Osigwe urged cinema filmmakers to understudy the business model of Asaba filmmakers to be able to grow cinema audience.

Majority of Nigerians consider these movies we term ‘Asaba movies’ as the real ‘Nollywood.’ And most opinions people have of the industry are formed based on these mass movies.
The top people in the global film industry said: Every region has unique stories to tell. And I should encourage them to tell their stories first and not be hindered by the technical requirements for professional film production. That the first thing is to supply on demand, because it was the overwhelming quantity of Nollywood in the 1990s that attracted the rest of the world before the improvement in the quality.
Asaba is reviving the acting careers of several veterans of Nollywood who have been sidelined in Lagos.
Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, the executive Governor of Delta State is currently building the Asaba Film Village, the first film village in the South-South region of Nigeria.
It is important to report this outstanding development in the Nigerian film industry. I am doing it for the benefit of local and international interests in the Nigerian film industry and to make Asaba an international destination for film tourism.
