You don't start a countdown with number one.

Now everyone can see that the Yorubas truly own the movie industry as well as the music industry of this country. Let's just agree that they are better in the academic and entertainment sectors of this country.

Not only academic and entertainment, but several others.
Last time, we saw the list of the biggest tech companies from Nigeria and it was 99% Yoruba.
When facts and figures begin to churn out, reality begin to set in. It is not about chest beating and noise making.

"MAMI WATA" has not been nominated for an Oscar..
Stop fake news. See the updates on:

Nigerian filmmakers made outstanding movies in 2023 and several of them won notable awards locally and globally, including C. J "Fiery" Obasi's multiple award winning mythological fantasy film, "MAMI WATA", Nigeria's entry for the Best International Feature Film Category of the 2024 annual Academy Awards; , winner of the Best Nigerian Film at the 19th edition of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA).
"MAMI WATA" premiered at the annual Sundance Film Festival and the cinematographer, Lílis Soares won the Special Jury Prize in the World Dramatic Competition for the film's cinematography in black and white. The film won three awards at FESPACO; Prix de la Critique Paulin S. Vieyra (African Critics Award), Meilleure Image (Cinematography Award) and Meilleur Décor (Set Design Award). The first Nollywood film to win these highly coveted international awards.
It is nominated for the Best International Film Category of the 39th annual Independent Spirit Awards in the United States of America; the first for a Nollywood film.

Babatunde Apalowo's "All the Colours of the World Are Between Black and White" was joint winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2023 annual Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF).

“Funmilayo Ransom Kuti" by Mrs. Bolalenle Austen-Peters won the Oronto Douglas' Overall Best Feature Film and Best Screenplay awards at the 2023 annual AFRIFF.
Editi Effiong’s crime thriller, "The Black Book" for Netflix became the first Nigerian film to be number one on the Global Netflix Chart of the most watched movies on the world's largest streaming platform.

"Orah" by Nigerian Canadian filmmaker Lonzo Nzekwe premiered at the 2023 annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Finally, Funke Akindele's new film "A Tribe Called Judah.” is the icing on the cake of the best Nigerian films of 2023.

In overall assessment of all these outstanding films, Nigerians Report Online has selected BB Sasore's "Breath of Life", the Best Nigerian Film of the Year 2023.

"Breath of Life" is an Unforgettable Journey of Discovery of the Power of Faith, Love and Triumph of the Human Spirit

"Breath of Life" is a period drama set in Ibadan in the 1950s. It is about "Timi", a gifted clergyman who turns into an "old lonely curmudgeon when his family is tragically taken from him. Until Elijah, a humble man with big dreams of becoming a priest, comes into his life. Through Elijah, Timi not only learns to live again, but also realizes purpose for all his gifts and wealth."

The Oscar performance of Wale Ojo as "Timi" has proven that he is indeed more than an actor of actors, but also an auteur of genius in his excellent interpretation of one of the greatest portraits of unique and unforgettable characters in Nigerian drama.
No other actor in Nollywood would have been able to play a better challenging role of such an iconic character of "Timi" as Wale Ojo did exceptionally well.
He is among the best actors in the world in the same class with Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins of Hollywood for his mastery of being absorbed in the personality of every character he has played the leading role in different movies. This is a rare accomplishment among actors in Nigeria, because only few of them have such command in characterization and intellectual depth.

Overall, in concise and precise analysis, the "Breath of Life" is a breathtaking cinematic drama of intellectual and spiritual insights on the triumph of faith, love and the human spirit in the conquest of the existential realities of life in the world. The survival, triumph and victory of the human spirit in the vicissitudes of the trials of life.

The director, producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, composer of the soundtracks and production designer have made a film that will become one of the timeless classics of filmmaking in Nigeria. "Breath of Life" is more than the typical Nollywood movie. It is a beautiful story in motion picture that will resonate with people in different societies in the world, because it is a universal journey of discovery of the true essence of human existence on Earth.
It would be more appreciated dubbed in other languages for the rest of the world to share in the beauty of this drama of the worth of every breath of life.

"Breath of Life" is one of the best films of the year and the kind of Nigerian film that should have been in the Official Selection of the annual Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d'Or.

Principal cast:
Wale Ojo, Bimbo Manuel, Sam Dede, Tina Mba, Sambasa Nzeribe, Genoveva Umeh, Chimezie Imo, Demola Adedoyin, Melly Atari and others.

Produced by
Eku Edewor and Aderinola Adeyokunnu.
Written and directed by BB Sasore, Ola Cardoso is the Director of Photography and Kelechi Odu is the Creative Director.

Brother, sound the trumpet 🎺 louder,so they will hear.
Making crappy films of king and queen and the gods won't get them anywhere.

There is an online market for Asaba movies online. It's massive! Some get 20 million views. Some producers are making a killing in that market. Many find the Netflix-styled Nigerian movie production boring but will kill for the YouTube market.

[Don't be a killjoy. Learn how to celebrate success. Hollywood did not get to where it is in one day. Nollywood is improving. You have just chosen not to see it.quote author=UncleKoboko post=127708149]Guys and men that goes to the cinema to see Nollywood movies, HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT?

Nollywood movies that mostly lacks quality and action. With their poor storyline and mostly predictable.


They just usually sit in the living room or bedroom to TALK in most of their movies

If we agree...what next?

With the LAGOS FILM CITY gradually becoming a reality, the best is yet to come for our entertainment industry generally, be it movie, musical videos, cinema （box office ） experience, et all, with quality tools and state-of-the-art studios, renowned and world-class editors, and world class enhancement facilities that depicts your stories exactly the way the writer envisage without limitation.

FROM here onward, our movie and video output generally are poised to turn global （and not just like the AFROBEAT brand but better, taking the AFROBEAT industry itself to greater heights ） with enormous job opportunities added into the entertainment ecosystem.

AGAIN, believe you me, THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Why are they ranking movies that are still on a cinema run?

When you do lists like this, you don't consider any movies from December, because the data is inconclusive for them.

You only rank from December 2022-November 2023.

It's only in cinemas for now.

The figures are nice. Did not expect that and Funke Akindele is the most consistent when it comes to financially successful movies

Sh*t your damnn trash, you waste of air. two pencil pushing crack pot piece of sh*t

Jagun Jagun is my favorite, I don't watch Nollywood movies but the day I watched jagun Jagun I love what I saw, infact I have seen the movie more than twice. it's a masterpiece.

I watched a tribe called Judah ,it is okay.

Watching Femi Adebayo interview on channels this morning ,I think I will make out time and watch jagun jagun.

These guys are really working hard.

FalseProphet1:
I'm not a fan of Nigerian movies. It's like I'll start patronizing them.

This I have seen.

What are your prophecies for 2024 prophet!?.

googlepikins:
so people still watch Nigerian movie


I did'nt watch any last 10 years and I have NO plans of watching any next year. From Jan to Dec I would be standing on business with full force. fuel per litre is going to obviously hit N1,000. Dollar will hit N1,800 it's currently at N1,218 per Dollar.

so I cant be seen wasting my time on TV screen but if you're a guy or a girl that someone is taking care of, then please watch as many films as you want.

go and watch lahiru or wura and change this ur mentality
