Now we just need Nollywood and .... Nick Cannon .................................. to make an African epic with some historical background to it.......



No seriously, its ridiculous, there are no epics of historical magnitude the Diaspora can look to be like "interesting" .................................versus countless movie about England alone not to mention the rest of Europe. China is making plenty of historical type movies, etc.
