blind post, yet nollywood is a monopoly of Igbo culture.

Stop being a saddist.
Calculia:


Let me guess, u are a yoruba giving igbos advise again, on wat is in their interest? It is in igbo interest to watch yoruba and hausa channel?
Who invented Nollywood? Who invented Nigeria movie culture? Do u know the level of demand for Nollywood to revert back to igbo film production as opposed to the English film they embark on for an all inclusive viewing? Please save your advice for your tribe, we did not ask for them.

Nobody is denying the fact that igbos are MAJOR in nollywood. If you are satisfied with being the boss in English movies, why clamour for a strictly Igbo channel?

I geef up on you guys

If DSTV doesn't want to give you an igbo channel then create one for yourselves and stop crying monopoly

They can't! They don't have the will or vision for creativity. Someone has to lead and show them. If it was a criminal activity they would already have self-perfected it without anyone's direction.

Why must everything in Nigeria relating to the igbos be problematic. Ordinary television channel. smh for DSTV!

Its because of their obsession with domination. They hate to be dominated, but love to dominate. If you understand this fact about ibos, you will understand why they are where they are in this country. On this thread alone you can hear them (customized13) complaining of being dominated in one breath, then triumphantly claiming to dominate Africa Magic grin in their next breath.

Too bad they lack what it takes to dominate. Their rubbish is only tolerated in Nigeria.

Exactly. I'm impressed by your thought process, I have lots of Igbo friends over here, and though some exhibit that 'dominance' trait, most are progressive minded. If everyone accepts that they are not the best at everything and chooses synergy, things would be a lot easier. Have you not heard the Igbo stance on Lagos? How can that bring peace or development? One then wonders if its the Nigerian situation that causes some Igbos to be irritants.

The truth is it not an ibo thing it general, you found it especially within the three major tribe Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba in Nigeria. It rooted and fundamental right inside our minds. And often argument with friends that you see tribe and religion, both are the major disunity and problem with Nigeria. Why do i said so take a deep look at the country you found divide along this two i mention above. It a fact and real situation we find ourselves even before we became independent. If we takes care of these two our problems is more than half solved. My belive is if states can be independent and source for their revenues u see they will welcome everybody because they need their service to grow.

Wat does it take to give Ndiigbo their channel? Fear that they might out do hausa and yoruba and be more popular? Perhaps the recognition that Ndiigbo invented Nollywood and are great.

It is just jealousy and envy of Ndiigbo that is the only reason they try very hard to hold us down but we rise and rise again.
U must b a f00l 4 that analogy u gave.

This is where you people get it wrong. I believe you'll still find a way to blame the yorubas for your dying ibo language, forgetting that you guys. Failed to promote it.

One of your colleagues is already laughing at yoruba movie subtitling. How come those that can speak good english don't have their own dstv station?

If south africa decides not to give ibos a station, why blame the yorubas?

I was not in support of DSTV, they were out of order for not launching an igbo channel back in 2010 alongside the Hausa and Yoruba.

Even with the Yoruba and Hausa stations, Igbo nollywood artists are still far popular and influential in the entertainment industry. If igbos request for a station, I am sure DSTV will not hessiatate to lunch it.

They were not out of order. This issue is not new, and it's got nothing to do with ethnicity.

DSTV explained then that they did not have enough viewing materials in Igbo language to warrant a dedicated channel in 2010.

So, there's no conspiracy to marginalize Igbo. Why would they want to do that anyway? Is DSTV not a business? A dedicated channel entails certain costs that must be paid for. It is just business, nothing more.

cos we want to dominate igbo movies as a boss after dominating english films as a boss,
Then we will come to yoruba films and also dominate it as a boss too..
Emeka ike,
Mike ezuronye,
And ngozi nwosu have acted yoruba movies before...

So One good thing about the fear of my pple is that we love dominating and conquering in sphere that has to do with competitions...,

just see what will happened after igbo station is launch and dominated by ndigbos,and if no space,we will
shift to yorubahood to kannyhood called hausa station cos we speak all languages in nigeria.
Hence our advantage as businessmen...

They are nothing without Yoruba's acceptance and recognition. Always seeking Yoruba's acknowledgement.
