WHY ARE ALL THESE MOVIES ARE NOT GETTING MASSIVE AIR PLAY ON TV?.

NO WONDER NO TV STATIONS WAS DEDICATED FOR THEIR NATIVE MOVIES.

IBO LANGUAGE IS NOT MARKETABLE

maestroferddi: I am in two minds whether to ignore your ignorance. Maybe you are blind to note that the present Nollywood is of over 75% Igbo content. Why would performers restrict their chances to local portals like the barely watched indigenous channels in Yoruba and Hausa while they could conquer the world via the English-based Nollywood? Can't you see popular actors like Olu Jacobs and Jibola Dabo carving a niche for themselves while playing Igbo-based roles?

prophetone: Honest polite answer for a honest polite question please;

Why is there a high incidence of Igbo youth rapin.g old women aged 60 years and above? It has happened several times here and abroad.

scarr: really baffles me, my flatmate from ebonyi during my nysc days only watches porn with old women or rape porn.....i really don't get it

peppyluv02: The old fool 5.00GPA is frustrated and angry because of Igbos success. Jealous dirty old man.
See what frustration led him to do to his wife and child...

kokolet007: Hausa man is the richest man in africa,after them is the yoruba nd ndigbo.
Am not trying to b tribalist but humility is d best! Hausa's are the most humbliest tribe in nigeria and they r the one leading economically and politically!
Apart from BH which I strongly believe is a political issue North used to b the most peaceful place and their crime rate is very low compare to other tribes #proudlyYoruba#

mesoade: 1.In last years thread of d worst gorvenors no south-west governor was there bt igbo nd hausa dominated it,nd viewing d comments of dat thread most of u igbos ar in support of d list
2.in terms of education south-west has d best universities d likes of o.a.u,u.i,unilag,futa nd d likes wit a cut-off of 200 nd high rating by forbes while in d east there is no skul wit a cut-off of 200
3. Mst igbos see lagos as london,if u dnt bliv me ,y is it dat in nollywood igbo films if dey wanna start a busines or hustle,dey'l say dey ar goin to lagos(cos busines dey flow for dat place) except in sum few films where dey'l use onitsha wish is no where wen compared to lagos
4.there ar mor igbos in yorubaland dan yorubas in igboland . .nd dats cos ur land is nt as developed as ours ,cos man wil always want to move to a greener pasture
igbo ar unique yes nd dey ar mor superior to yoruba in terms of sport bt proving superiority is other aspects is a N0 NO 4 me

manchy7531: I intend to reopen this thread for Igbo readers and open minded non Igbo who may want to know more about ndi igbo. It is purely for educational purpose.....God bless Ndi igbo. From ''Anioma to Anambra to Enugu to Imo to Abia to Ebonyi igbo to Rivers igbo to Benue Igbo to cross river and Akwa ibom igbo and Ndi igbo in diaspora''.....

WHAT'S THE MAJOR LANGUAGE IN NOLLYWOOD?

NOLLYWOOD CONSIST OF EVERY TRIBE IN NIGERIA

READ THIS:


Data in 2011 from the Nigerian Films and Videos
Census Board (NFVCB) indicated that 1,743 and
1,234 movies were respectively registered and
approved. The percentages produced in 2010 in
the main languages were 44 percent English, 31
percent Yoruba, 24 percent Hausa and 1 percent
Igbo.

peppyluv02: Why was awolowo so jealous of the Igbos that he drank rat poison?

Bigflamie: Arrogantly Igbo

maestroferddi: Guy get smart na. Nollywood markets and portrays Igbo culture to the world. Smart move by Nigerian movie producers and directors. How many of the so-called Yoruba and Hausa films are known outside tribal households in Lagos and possibly Ibadan? We have made Igbo culture a marketable global brand. We shall soon increase the number of Igbo language movies. It was a smartly thought out marketing plan.

Awoofawo:

See escape tactic! Jealousy

fyi, that Awolowo drank rat poison is debatable ( RUMOUR )
Awolowo jealous of
Igbo; of all tribes in Nigeria to envy....
You and I are not privy to what actually happened.... I'm not holding brief for Awolowo, whatever transpired between him and IBB or whoever forced him to drink poison has no bearing to matter I quoted! So stop misquoting me

scarr: really baffles me, my flatmate from ebonyi during my nysc days only watches porn with old women or rape porn.....i really don't get it

peppyluv02: The old fool 5.00GPA is frustrated and angry because of Igbos success. Jealous dirty old man.
See what frustration led him to do to his wife and child...

ikwoche: Op. Question- Why is it that igbo guys get very old before they marry?
