redsquare: Seems Nollywood ain't lucrative any longer, why are all Actors collect counted money unlike their counterparts in the music industry. I don't blame them. When you keep doing one thing for so long and collecting a certain amount of money, one is bound to lose interest. Only big actors with endorsement deals can raise shoulders with music acts.. Even N20 m endorsement deal can be wiped off by buying one Mercedes jeep or Landcruiser jeep 2014 model. Make we no mention Bentley.. Can't you see how hard Tonto Dike has tried to break into the Nigerian music industry but her voice won't allow her ? 2 Likes |

Olabode George. Notice that the English name did not outweigh the Yoruba name? But when as a supposed Yoruba man you choose double barrelled English name such as Olusola Desmond Elliot, you don finish yourself be that. Yoruba go just look you just call you ibo. The ones with English lastnames but with full blooded Yoruba parentage still dey struggle get recognition how e go come be for one with half Yoruba blood with double English name.

YoursGEJ: All of you that are speculating on his tribe as the most important thing should close your worm-infested mouths and shove your comments up a place where sunlight does not get to. Why can't you ask about his agenda or plans? Forget corruption and bad leadership, I swear the masses constitute a majority of the problem this country is facing. Alright regarding previous occupants of that seat, I can bet that most of you cannot name a single thing that they contributed to the community or a bill they have sponsored in the house. But you'd rather let them continue unchallenged in their position. Why? Because both of their parents are Lagosians. Imagine that your car broke down and what is most important to you is whether the mechanic that is trying to fix it is from your village even though all the previous mechanics who have tried but failed to fix it were all from your village. This politics of tribalism has led Nigeria nowhere especially under this current democratic dispensation. When military regimes used administrators from other parts of the country to rule a state, Nigeria saw more development that indigenous politicians have never been able to replicate be it at the federal, state or local level. Correct!! The tribalistic touts won't listen. 11 Likes |

berem: Olu Jacobs is a yoruba man and acts Igbo films. I have never heard him speak yoruba not to talk of acting yoruba films. So do you classify him alongside Desmond Elliot who is half yoruba and half Igbo? Ok, but his first name has been Olu from time immemorial and that gives him immediate recognisable Yoruba identity. Moreso his wife Joke Silva has acted in Yoruba movies countless times. I don't think I would be having this conversation if Desmond had always been regarded as Sola Elliot. Even that Elliot sef get as I'm be. 2 Likes |

Asoozy: His name don already disqualify him. He better revert back to his Yoruba last name. He is as much Yoruba as he is Igbo. I doubt he dropped his Yoruba name to get into Nollywood, the Yoruba and no-Igbos in Nollywood are well known, accepted and celebrated. Dont forget, this is an industry that is open to Ghanaians too. Instead, I think he picked up his Yoruba name to be able to get into Lagos politics, because unless people see him as Yoruba he is going nowhere, unlike Nollywood, which is more inclusive. 9 Likes |
