@bold...corrected. Ndi jelu akwuwo na-amaro basic present tense na past tense.

InyinyaAgbaOku as usual will play blind to that blatant error, in his partiality and fear of his elder sister, Ihuoma.

Ada Onitsha or Njikoka might be out later but not definitely in the storyline of an uncouth village person going to the city but in another story line.

Here's Ada Owerri for example which was acted and NCI mainly used and had totally nothing to do with Owerri.

When a movie is set in a rural area,the dialect becomes Bushy.
When a movie is set in an Urban area,that dialect becomes the special dialect. Is that your theory? Lol, self honour is no honour. You are just dragging this thread cos you can't acknowledge your goofs and errors.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


even of the setting of the ada Onitsha is in London, the storyline better be strong .
if not, njikoka or Onitsha dialect cant sell movie

Ada Mbano sold basically because of the interesting storyline of a village girl going to the city and her experience in the city. Similar movies with the same storyline have been acted in English before - Osuofia in London (a village African man who goes to a well-developed city and encounters development to his surprise), Baby Oku in America (Mercy Johnson a typical African lady who goes to America and the ensuant comedy that follows on her arrival). Each of those movies shot in English were best sellers and sold for their storyline basically. Osuofia in London is the movie accredited to taking Nollywood to international heights and fame. For some reason, Nigerians like movies that juxtapose village life and experience with city life and experience.

In the Igbo language side, the same was replicated and the movie producers had to pick dialects that best fit the village girl's role to match the storyline. Ada Mbano would have failed to sell if Onicha or Awka dialect had been picked instead for they just do not fit the storyline and role! After all, Queen Nwokoye herself is from Anambra state and would have spoken what she's already familiar with (her dialect) but she instead spoke another dialect (Mbano). That should tell you something.

Even if that's the case, did I make it so? Am I not stating my observations? Or I'm not allowed to state my observation because of your deep insecurity and blatant lack of credibility?

This thread has exposed your weakness and errors. You can't stand on any assertion.
Dialect will never make people stay in awe of you,inula?
There is no point dragging Ada whatever movie. At the end of the day,you have failed to show Igbos and Non Igbos what is so special about you'all.
By implication,nothing is special!

This movie is a dialect specific movie, Queen should not even go close to her dialect! Onye nti ike.

All my points still hold water. Anamba remains the most preferred dialect my non-Igbo, no doubt. My experience taught me so. It's more used in Nollywood Igbo movies than any other dialect. The dialect was critical in propelling Nollywood to where it is now (Living in bondage shot in NCI and in Onicha town) before the switch to English was made. Non-Anambra Igbo girls desire to marry Anambra men though many don't end up doing so. The dialect is rarely represented in movies as lacking class or of 'interior'. Nri in Anambra state is the progenitor of some Igbo clans. I mean which Igbo person doesn't know all these.

I'm still very much surprised you didn't counter the part that says most high-profile Igbo indigenes tend to come from Anambra, or tell me you didn't 'see' that part of my post?

Because there was no defeat to talk about in the first place. And i'll tell any non-Igbo (just as I told my Yoruba IT Colleagues during my IT in Lagos and Tokunbo) who cares to listen the same.

Dialect again? O di egwu. I was expecting an intellectual response.
Default dialect my foot! It is never default,am making contacts with established igbo actors and i will post their responses.
Too bad. Snice you were after the poll results, then the poll is the ultimate determinate in this case!
All the other irrational points have been totally destroyed! All are null and invalid.

You keep praising yourself needlessly even when your cohort has failed to praise you because he knows you utterly failed to make any impressions. You're only taking solace in numbers.

You egocentric ideas hashave been defeated. Those nonesense points don't make you more superior than other. Neither does it make you more prestigious or better than others.

@bold...corrected. How do you even expect me or anyone reading your posts to take you seriously when you do not know the common basics of English singular and plural verbs?

Singular nouns/pronouns take on singular verbs and plural nouns/pronouns take on plural verbs. Primary 1 curriculum. How could you not know this?
You can't find it in you to know you were foolish in the first place. Biko, look for relevant issues based on this thread.

You barely can use English adjectives. Lowly is used in a more positive way to mean humble. And yes, I take your compliment.

none of these were sold due to dialects except ada mbano.
Which dialect sold osuofia in London? none .great storyline all the way. osuofia is from Enugu and he didn't speak any spectacular UDI dialect, the movie was not even set with any particular clan in mind.
I repeat, even if a movie is set with London environs but with anambra dialect, the storyline better be strong, else!!!!

I wish I could have more of this almost every other fortnight.

They all have the same storyline, right? And they all sold, irrespective of the language or dialect used right? What does that tell you? Mbano dialect isn't so critical to the mass selling of the film. Use your common sense.

We are exposing how stupid and naive it is,when people try to hold unto artificial creations like states of origin

I have met most igbos that when you ask where they are from,they would simply tell you their state of origin,and would feel more related to you,if you are from this new artificial identity of theirs.

States in igboland are as heterogenous as hell,with many different igbo tribes,placed on the same state.

As an idemili man, i am more related to an enuani man from delta state,than to an umunze man in orumba,who himself is more related to okigwe groups and umunneochi groups in imo and abia state.

It would be stupid for me to start wearing anambra at heart,seeing as anambra is but an artificial creation that not long ago,included ezza,izzi and even nkanu tribes.

Now,this is a better point from your states man which was made in another thread.
I still find it difficult to believe that someone will carry so much shallow and negative evaluation around.
Dialect wahala is long over. This thread is just strecthing because of your inability to see that you threw up stupid and invalid points. Those stuffs don't make you more special or prestigious or whatever. You are only wallowing in foolishness.

trust me, without the dialect, the movie would have been a goner.
Mention one movie anambra dialect sold?
baby oku and osuofia in London were even English spoken, no Igbo said in those movies is anambrarian. we are talking igbo spoken movies .
your dialect is too ordinary
And to think you are placing the acceptability of baby oku side by side with that of ada mbano .....
laughable. the only thing that sold the movie to people that bothered is Mercy's wonderful role interpretation. dialect kwa?
