9ja porn

Hunting for a cd from the hot new naija musicman Jazzman Olofin after work today, I schlepped from cd/nollywood street vendor to street vendor. Jazzman had sold out everywhere.. What I did find however was bucketloads of hardcore porn, most of it discreetly hidden under nollywood vcds. On top of the local dvd rental place having a subtle curtain onto a fleshy world (so subtle I didn't notice the curtain for the first few months), its evident that there is quite some demand for erotica in town. I guess all that religious doxa creates its own repressed desires, which in turn seek their outlets, a bit like the Victorians obsession with opium. Of course, all the porn available is imported (much of it pirated). I wonder whether there's a homegrown nollywood niche out there? Given how lucrative the porn industry is in America (I believe its a bigger industry than Hollywood), its surely only a matter of time..
