Yes,i want nollywood to explore African myths seeing that hollywood have their own version. I want to see more movies on Colonialism and British Expedition, Neocolonialism, Terrorism,Millitancy, Political violence.
You can keep your silly Kalus and Elijah for yourself. Reasonable people want to see more African stories,they are the ones getting nominated and accolades on the international scene.

badinfluence:

It's not kalus.. reasonable people want to see fresh ideas. New nollywood did not throw the Nigerian culture away but rather blended it with new concepts. What's wrong if there's a movie centered on love and other human peculiarities. I asked you how many old nollywood movies have exploited those ideas you want. But there are new nollywood movies to satisfy that. If you don't know Ojuju has a good international recognition. And the cause of the virus movie is contaminated water, a problem facing many African societies. So your criticism is invalid. These new nollywood movies actually gain award and recognition internationally. Do your research...

Ihuomadinihu:

What awards? African awards? Lol.
So what exactly is your problem? You have no argumentative or criticism skills. The premise of my argument is that these movies should be able to showcase our history as a people with the help of improved technical skills. You cannot throw away your culture and heritage cos you wanna appeal to the diasporal,it doesn't work like that.
These fresh ideas and concepts should reflect what's going on in or has already happened in Nigeria,that is where South Africa and Congo have an edge over us.

badinfluence:

If you want to improve your knowledge in history then read and stop waiting for the movies to show you. I've told you there are movies out there about culture. See 'doctor bello' they've done that. This isn't old nollywood where you emphasise on a particular theme/plot. This is new nollywood where there's avenue for diversity.. can't you get it. You're talking as if there are no new nollywood movies on culture colonialism slavery etc. Your only beef is that they've decided to explore other ideas. Evolution

The old pre 5parts nollywood explored issues like political,western imperialsm and interethnic strife. I am suggesting that new nollywood do a large scale exploration of those ideas.
You lack comprehension! I feel like am arguing with a daft and a nit-wit to put it midly! I never said we shouldn't have diverse genres but more resources and works should be channeled into Nigerian issues, that is what Afolayan is doing.

Ihuomadinihu:

Oct 1 and Half of a yellow sun explored other ideas apart from War and Colonialism. I mentioned other relevant themes that can be incoporated into one movie. Quit putting words into my mouth. Read and understand without drawing inferences.

badinfluence:

Very good movie out there have sub plot. See why I said you don't know movie production. Sub plots enhance movie's storyline for heaven sake. The titanic was based on real life but the addition of the love angle made that movie what it is. A movie that's going to centre solely on colonialism is likely to get boring at a point, that's why it's a movie and not a documentary

Ihuomadinihu:

Read and understand, i see the irony there. When you can't read and understand mine?
There is something called Historical movies. If you are wise, t hen you should know that nollywood should do more movies like that.

Ihuomadinihu:

Imagine a dunce trying to lecture me indeed! Good riddiance to bad rubbish. You should pay me for teaching you the essence and importance of blending in modern nollywood!

badinfluence:

From your tone I'm guessing you're getting agitated. ... sub plots aren't the same as blending. It's not Solomon norton it's Solomon northup.. lol... your attempts to show your enlightenment is amusing

Ihuomadinihu:

Blending is a word i want to use to explan basic things to you. It's none of your business how i choose my words.
Arguing with you is waste of time because you lack comprehension and rather prefer to make belittling remarks when other people come with a different opinion. You shouldn't be arguing on nairaland if you truly posses movie making skills.

badinfluence:

I understand that you want to get in touch with your culture.. boo hoo... you don't expect nollywood to show you everything you need to know. Use the internet or ask your parents to sit you down and tell you. Do you watch hollywood movies?

Ihuomadinihu:

Thankfully, Oct1 and Half of yellow sun are directly about Nigerian history,lifestyle and heritage. Movie producers don't care if you want such movies or not,they will keep making them. That is what the world wants to see. Sorry! I know enough about my culture, diasporian blacks are looking out for it not your amateur adaptation of Klaus or whatever.

badinfluence:

You're the one belittling yourself. Mixing facts and all.. told you I'd school you.. still laughing @ Solomon norton

Ihuomadinihu:

Solomon Northup....autobiography adapted into a movie. You are aware that am typing fast,right.
Hypocrites like you will laugh at every mistake and slip. Keep making a mess of yourself.

badinfluence:

Hee..see beef against the Originals na. I watch everything.. from cartoons to Hollywood movies to new nollywood even old nollywood. That's how one increases his imagination

Ihuomadinihu:

When it comes down to insignificant arguments and attacks,it only shows you have run out of points. As if you were making valid points before.

badinfluence:

So you want to see amadioha, oduduwa, ajaka, sango on my profile before you'd agree I'm Nigerian. I'm a fan of creativity and good stuff. Sorry I don't limit myself. If we come down to Nigerian myths and legends I'm confident I'd still floor you. Aliens are extra terrestrial, that means out of this world. And Nigeria is among this world....

Ihuomadinihu:

Get back your ass in here,silly troll.
I wouldn't let you have any comic relife on me.
Yes,i wanna see Amadioha, Obatala, Sango,Oduduwa, Eri etc.
Anti Africans like you will sit down for hours and watch movies tied around Greek Mythologies.
What's wrong if Nollywood has one about our myths.

badinfluence:

Ahn ahn miss norton.. don't worry I'm working on a story around sango.. if sure you'd love it and sing my praise. But just get my name right miss norton

Ihuomadinihu:

Just give up already! Nobody has time for your Elijah tales.

badinfluence:

I've heard miss norton... keep shooting yourself in the foot.

Ihuomadinihu:

You should have been aware of that by now. That your Elijah thread was dead on arrival.

badinfluence:

Yes miss norton. Is that all miss norton?? Stalker alert

Ihuomadinihu:

Stalker alert? Na. Had to check why it's diificult to make you reason with a different opinion.
Stop trolling though...bad habit!

badinfluence:
Yes miss norton... how's mr Solomon norton
