Kunle Afolayan - This is what I call " NOLLYWOOD AT 37" - Here the the Sound track poster of the First Yoruba film made in Nigeria titled "AJANI OGUN" Produced and directed by Dr Ola Balogun and featured my father Late Adeyemi Afolayan aka Adelove, Late Duro Ladipo and many others. I guess "NOLLYWOOD AT 20" signifies the era of Low quality and straight to vcd films and not the Beginning of Film production in Nigeria. Tunde Kelani has been in the film/TV industry for over 3 decades, Can we tag him as part of nollywood at 20 even with all the great films from Mainframe stable like "Ti Oluwa ni'le, Ayo ni mofe, Oleku, Saworo-ide and many others. I also want to believe that a new era began since 2009 when films like Figurine and Ije were produced. what should this era be called then and when are we going to celebrate those who actually set the ground for all of us to step on. Am just thinking aloud!
