As 2011 dawned today, some of the gladiators in the nation's movie industry, otherwise known as Nollywood, reveal their dreams and aspirations for the new year. They spoke with Sanya Ojo

Iyabo Ojo, actress and producer
I want to launch an explosive film in March in London. Also, I want to organize a big birthday bash for my daughter. Of course, I am also working on some films that will be released soon. Apart from this, I am planning to travel to other countries that I have not visited before.

Jide Kosoko, actor and producer
First and foremost, I am concentrating on getting my party ticket that will enable me to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives under the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). However, my profession will not suffer in any way, despite my involvement in politics. Also, I am working on the documentary of Lagos State culture. Hopefully, towards the end of the year, I will launch my book entitled Warrior lamentation.
