Dear Nollywood, Compete with the Best Filmmakers in the World

 Filmmakers in Nollywood should compete with the best filmmakers in the world and stop their bragging rights for the competition for being on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Showmax.

Filmmakers in Hollywood and Bollywood don't brag about being on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and other top streaming platforms, including HBO Max, Disney+ and Apple TV.

The best filmmakers want to be in the Official Selections of the Berlinale, Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in Canada, Venice Film Festival in Italy and the biggest and most prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France and finally the ultimate pedestal, the nominations for the most coveted Academy Awards, popularly known as the Oscars.  Anything else is good, but not yet the best.

The Big Picture of the future of  Nollywood is seeing the movies competing for the Oscars, Palme D'or, Golden Lion (Leone d'Oro),Grolsch People's Choice Award and Golden Bear 

All the brouhaha and going gaga over Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Showmax are not bragging rights for the best filmmakers and those who are more nuanced intellectually.
