They are businessman so they will do everything to expand their motive which is profit making. Who knows may be ibo own is on the way. Who knows may we subscriber is the one requesting for this. Another thing just occur to me Hausas and yorubas are not only in nigeria but dominant in west africa especially hausas. |

I trhought it was a means of uniting Africans even if it was just through movies Well i never thot uniting africa is paramount in their minds, wht i think matters to them is their gain. Am also not sure that these ethinic channels were requested by the people, it was just a market strategy to include more irrelevant channels in the name of increased channels, and to further have reasons to exploit the people in their usual characteristics. dstv, mtn, they are all the same, what is important to them is their pocket. At least in the way they do their bussiness around here. They've always ripped us off, untill other players show face. |

I'm sure very soon there will be "AFRICA MAGIC IGBO", "AFRICA MAGIC EFIK", E.T.C. Just like MrPrsdent has said, they cannot be viewed outside Nigeria. |

why on earth is this a bad thing? the US has Black Entertainment Television and 7 Spanish channels. people like hearing their language and seeing their culture, why is it a problem? |
Re: Africa Magic Which Way Now? by nduogu(m): 3:19pm On Apr 06, 2010 |
I don't think there's anything wrong in having Tv channels with different languages. The most important thing is satisfying your customers/viewers and smiling to the bank too. |

Cyberfreak:LMAO Threadstarter, you are no different from the legion of ethnocentric behind-the-monitor loons we have on Nairaland. Why don't you just come already and tell us how much you hate the Igbo's? Your pathetic stint at appearing liberal fell flat on its face. Try again missy! SMH You seem not to have a problem with the Hausa and Yoruba versions of Africa Magic but the thought of an Igbo version gives you a high blood pressure?? Let me just say this, Nollygarbadge can suck on my left ball for all I care while the Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo versions can get busy on the other. You on the other hand can lick my spunk and kick rocks afterwards. Tosser! |

Multichoice does not know what to do again. They have too much virgin channels and are confused about what else to broadcast. Useless Hitv started it first; now multichoice don follow. Rubbish!!! |

Re: Africa Magic Which Way Now? by Kx: 5:33pm On Apr 06, 2010 |

I can now see why the need for more channels came up in the first place.There's really nothin' to worry about,dstv's smilin' to the bank and Nigerians are gettin' suckered. Enjoy the crappy movies whichever stations it comes on. |

Re: Africa Magic Which Way Now? by ReachRich(m): 8:15pm On Apr 09, 2010 |
I dont think there will ever be Africa Magic Igbo channel.Our Igbo actors and actresses prefer to do their movies in English.Infact they are the once who act,direct and produce most of the movies shown on Africa Magic.The last igbo movie i saw was way back in the 90s. |

You can see that Africa Magic Yoruba and Hausa channels became possible because there are lots of movies in those languages.It is very unlikely that there will be African Magic Igbo or something similar in the future. In that future you will see Igbos crying of marginalization. They will say that not having such a movie channel was a calculated attempt by the Hausas and Yorubas to "kill" the Igbo culture. But the fact is that all the Igbos in the Nigerian Movie Industry have done what the typical Ibo man does - - -sell their birth rights for a plate of porridge. Now they stopped promoting their culture just to make quicker gains in Nigerian English movies. I remember in the early 1990s I used to watch Igbo movies and they were very nice though reaching far less audience than the Nigerian English movies. However,the Yoruba and Hausa movies were in a similar situation with Igbo movies having a greater advantage that the Hausa movies simply because the average Hausa man could not and can still not afford to buy a video player and video cassettes/cds but the average ibo man could and still can. You can see how the greed and lack of foresight of just a few "leaders" shape the future of an entire people. Ibos are very intelligent people but with a basic problem of easily selling their birth rights for a plate of porridge. |
