Seriously?  The African country?  If asked to pick the second largest, I probably would have gone for an hour naming every country I could think of and still wouldn't have guessed it.  Fascinating!

There not all AK47 despotic hell holes. We have a lot of Africans who have emigrated to Scotland over the last few years and are settling in rather nicely.

A lot of them did come from country's that where like the above. Wonder what's stopping the majority of African Americans getting there act together.

This got me interested in where other countries rank. According to the United Nations (for 2006, although the article is from May last year):

India (1,091)
Nigeria (872)
United States (485)
Japan (417)
China (330)
France (203)
Germany (174)
Spain (150)
Italy (116)
South Korea (110)
United Kingdom (104)

Please try to not put your words in others mouths.  What Africans who have emigrated to Europe or North America have done is not relevant to the Nigerian film industry.

I watch a lot of foreign films.  But i, like Mark, was surprised by the request as i wasn't aware Nigeria has a film industry.  If they do then fine, add them to the list.

However, since Ken has said he's basically working bug fixes now it may be too late for the next release.  And there is a whole forum (Feature Requests) where the request would be more likely to be noticed and acted upon.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

If you have Sky, there's a channel that shows only Nigerian films. It's in the 330's I think. There's also another channel that shows a lot of Nigerian films in the low 200's.

Unbelievable. 


The fact is as an ethnic group in America they have wide ranging sociological problems attributed to history and Americas lack of cohesive national identity that extends beyond ethnic groups to bide the people as a whole under one unifying American identity.

Instead the people fragment and become consumed in there own separate ethnic history's which has resulted in there problems of today. Despite being given the same liberty's as other Americans.

It is there for not a problem of race but of there attitude towards there racial history within America.
