Video - Nigeria's Oscar disqualification sees push for films in native languages



Nigeria's Oscar Committee is urging Nigerian filmmakers to use more native languages in their productions.

While some in Nigeria’s Hollywood – known as Nollywood -- support the idea of more native languages in films, others argue that non-English films limit their audience reach. Timothy Obiezu reports from Abuja.
