  CELEBRATING NOLLYWOOD.

The Nigerian Film Industry popularly referred to as Nollywood after Hollywood in the United States has come a long way. Only recently, this assertion was buttressed by a Presidential assent for the budding industry in the form of a Presidential dinner aptly tagged 'Nollywood at 20'. It is pertinent to note that just like in Hollywood, the buzz is not restricted to the movie industry alone but also includes the music industry and the fashion industry. It was a delight to have celebrated actors and actresses donning ensembles made by Nigerian Designers.

Indeed Nollywood has come a long way and is worth celebrating. From low- budget movies years back to collaborations with International movie stars, from small musical shows to sold-out concerts heralding the birth of a new Album and from an almost inconspicuous fashion industry to a Celebrated one boasting of the biggest names in Africa and even the world, with spectacular fashion shows to its credit, THE SKY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
