About the Book
Nigeria’s Nollywood has rapidly grown into one of the world’s largest film industries, radically altering media environments across Africa and in the diaspora. It has also become one of African culture’s most consequential expressions, powerfully shaping how Africans see themselves and are seen by others. With this book, Jonathan Haynes provides an accessible and authoritative introduction to this vast industry and its film culture. Haynes describes the major Nigerian film genres and how they relate to Nigerian society—its values, desires, anxieties, and social tensions. He interprets these generic stories and the cast of mythic figures within them: the long-suffering wives, the business tricksters, the Bible-wielding pastors, the kings in their traditional regalia, the glamorous young professionals, the emigrants stranded in New York or London, and all the rest. Based on more than twenty years of research and with vivid descriptions of Nollywood’s landmark films and leading directors, this is a book of unprecedented scope on a major branch of world cinema.

Jasmine- The Bookworm (Compassion)
Seller: Buy Books LtdI like Derya. She is a bookworm. She always has a book in her hand wherever she goes. In class, during recess, when queuing… She does not take her nose out of a book. Sometimes I snatch her book from her and say, ¨Return to Earth alien, we humans are friends of the aliens!” She chases me until she gets her book back. So, what was going to happen now? Wasn’t she coming back to school? Won’t she be devouring books anymore?

jasmine – I caught you (Friendship)
Seller: Buy Books LtdDid you ever stop talking with a friend? I have. It is not nice. Don’t stop being friends… It’s worse than eating hot pepper… It’s a good thing that you can stop being angry and continue being friends. This feels like eating strawberry ice cream. Or cycling downhill.
