Posted: 26 Dec 2013 01:25 PM PST

Many people say they don't watch Nollywood, I've always been a fan and have somehow learnt how to stay away from some I feel I won't like (I know I may have missed some good movies that way, but...). With the advent of online reviewers like Nollywood reinvented, and others, it's got better, and then there are directors and producers you just know will be good.

So below is my list - for everyone who watches movies - of Must-Watch recent Nollywood Movies- (I haven't seen Phone Swap, Dr Bello, Relentless, and Flower Girl which appeared on this and this). If you haven't seen this movies, try. Most of them are either on Dobox.tv, Irokotv.com, Afrinolly.com, muvies.com or even free on Youtube. Just search for them.
