He exudes a calm ambience that belies his war chest, yet the more he tries to remain unassuming by avoiding the spotlight, the more his selfless service to humanity and God; his kind and golden heart lay him bare and drag him to the public arena for recognition.

Female Narratives in Nollywood Melodramas: Elizabeth Johnson, Donald Culverson Click here to order for the book . This book investigates how identities for West African women are created and recreated through the broad interplay of Nollywood film viewing on social and individual levels. Since many Nollywood films are freely accessible online, the role of online communities repurposes Nollywood films. Female Narratives in Nollywood Melodramas addresses if this is a good or bad promoter of critical consciousness, as many of the films depict the stifling of women. The authors examine nine Nollywood melodramas through Black feminist, cultivation, audience reception, and social identity theories. Readers will gain an understanding of how Nollywood is a product and contributor to evolving processes of globalization. Recommended for scholars of film studies, communication, African studies, and women studies. NOLLYWOOD BOOKS LIBRARY

My Mama Says School is Not for Girls  Watch Reena's story about how she struggled for her right to be educated despite traditional beliefs from her mother. There are still so many places in the world where people, especially girls and women, immigrants, and people with disabilities aren't allowed to go to school. Education is so important because it's the one thing that can transcends your social and economic status. It doesn’t matter if you were born poor or rich; getting an education can help you to reach your full potential. Reena knew this and even though her mother disagreed with her she knew that the only way she was going to really be able to help her family and her community was to get an education. It took a long time but once she was able to convince them, she worked so hard to get to a point where she could come back and give everyone, especially the girls in her village the same opportunity she had. But not just that, she also works closely with UNESCO ...

Our goal is to discover our own @lupitanyongo in #Nollywood who will be ready for the international red carpets of @festivaldecannes and @theacademy before she is 25. We are grooming her for the Big Picture! She is 22 now and her first photographs will be ready soon. No bleaching. No masquerade makeup. No fake accent. No drama queen. No "Ogbanje" problems and No bipolar disorder. She will be ready for global stardom. It is about time for a Nigerian girl to breakthrough for the big screen. We have been waiting and wishing for a Nollywood actress to give us the golden moment of tinseltown stardom since 1992, but none of them has been able to make it. The real African magic Cinderella. One big breakthrough in cinema is the classic Cinderella story we need from Nollywood. She is coming. ~ EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima Publisher/Editor NOLLYWOOD MIRROR®Series 247 Nigeria
