Wow!!!!

Igbos are doing Nigeria and Africa proud with the Igbo founded Nollywood.

Chimamanda stylishly promoted the undying spirit of Biafra..

Chimamanda, you are a true Anambran..we love you..

Chimamanda, you are the next great Achebe..

They see a movie, but I see the tragedy of the unfortunate nation created by the whiteman.
Biafra was the first blood!

The blood is still flowing and will never stop!
Why cant we do the right thing and stop the flowing of blood?

Adichie, thanks a million!

touchmeder:


Sadly i am nearly tempted to agree with you until we step up our game BIGGGGGGGG TIME. Personally all this waka pass role sha they give them still saddens me, i feel instead of giving the juicy parts to the Thandie Newtons and co, they can at least recognise those who have been doing a good job at the home front. Abi all this time award and Elle abi na cosmopolitan important people nor dey translate to better role?


And when they do that and people don't go to the cinemas because they don't know the actors, you'll be one of the first to say the movie was a flop.

Movies are business concerns. Lead actors are selected not just on thier capacity to act the part, but also thier ability to bring with them to the cinemas their huge fan network. Give Genevieve a lead role and she would act it wonderfully and bring along a Nigerian audience. Give Thandie Newton a lead role and she would act the part excellently as well as bring with her a global audience.




Hmmmmmm....
The timimg of this movie. Hmmm.... The trailer ended with the flag of Biafra. Hmmmm.... Wouldn't this movie only serve to open old wounds?? Please lets enjoy the movie when it comes out, debate the neccesities but forget the hurts of the past. We must move on from what our fathers and forefathers did and embrace our own responsibility of creating a future that is better than our past. If we make the right choices, this movie would serve as an excellent cultural renaissance that should unite all and sundry notwithstanding you tribal affiliations.

Wow! Looking forward to the movie itself.. My project title(sept 2011) The Nigerian civil war : a thematic appraisal of chimamanda adichie ngozi's "half of a yellow sun"..By Babatunde Ridhwan B smiley .. Adichie is one of her generation's best indubitably... I was the first in my dept smiley to write on her work.. Got me a prize cheesy .. I'm a Nigerian(as identified sad ) but I believed in biafra and the biafran cause.. And I'm glad I didn't just talk, I dedicated.. For justice and love for humanity.. Someday Biafra and Biafran will prevail for good (Amen)

Nice trailer!!!

But Nollywood is trying so hard to be like Hollywood and trying so hard to captivate the attention of the western audience.grin

No matter how hard they try Africans are the only people that love Nollywood. grin

I don't get the big deal about Genny appearing in Half of a yellow sun. If she's not there, there are other Nollywood cinema faces, such as Wale Ojo (Phone swap), Zack Orji, Tina Mba, Onyeka Onwenu etc.....So what's the fuss about?

how is it featured if i saw her for half a second in a 3 minute clip

Orikinla: This official trailer of the historic epic film on the Biafran War "Half of A Yellow Sun" shows Nollywood diva Genevieve Nnaji looking so well in her small, but unforgettable role as "Ms Adebayo" with a cigarette in her left hand.
And this finally ends the ignorant reports and rumours that her part was edited out of the film, a fantastic adaptation of the award winning novel of the same title by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

@afam4eva, you lack forum etiquette. Grow up.

Bitter truth about nollywood.
pls compare her talent and skill set with hollywood A list actors. Do you want a world class nollywood film industry or african alaba champion.?
Think globally.
