yes,that's what Indian movies industry do.There is Bollywood based in Mumbai.Tollywood,bengaliwood,chhollywood,Tamil wood etc.The one's we do normally watch in Nigeria is Bollywood.But those south Indian films(Tamil and telegu)Film industry are interesting too.I think Nigeria too should classify theirs too.

Interesting. So indians don't see themselves as one

I knew fight was gonna spin between youruba people and Edo people over who is and who is not yoruba in Edo.


met a wonderful Edo girl during NYSC, common "wa" (come in yoruba), she doesn't understand.

prior that, I thought Edo people should be able to speak yoruba due to history they share with Ife and Lagos but unfortunately, her tribe don't speak one single word in yoruba.

I thought her some few Yoruba but I couldn't learn that their horrible twisted language.

oglalasioux:
Edo people generally identify themselves as Yoruba. They bear Yoruba names and speak it as a second language.

You want to start something

Not like that,Indians were made of different group of peoples with different culture and religion.They don't even understand themselves.The most common Indian languages are Hindi,Tamil,Punjabi and Telugu.

I thought most of them are yoruba oo

ex husband na is Balogun. She refused to drop the name

Even the First name still doesn’t gel. Lol

haiti007:
From their names one would have predicted that they non-yoruba, excluding fathia

Fathia Balogun has a Yoruba Mother who is from Oyo State!

ademijuwonlo:

Fathia Balogun has a Yoruba Mother who is from Oyo State!

Okay, now I know

That’s how we are,we don’t discriminate.
Remi Tinubu is from Delta
Ajimobi”s wife is non Yoruba
Oyo State First Lady is an Ijaw woman
Ondo state First Lady is an Igbo Woman
Amosun wife a deacon
Fashola”s wife a Christian
Abdul Gafar wife is a deacon.

martineverest:
she is not a Yoruba actress....Na English nollywood she dey act

She used to act in Yoruba films

martineverest:
we have never accepted or identify ourselves as Yoruba...the only side of Edo state that bear Yoruba names are akoko edo And some few villages in Edo north...


tho ,I have seen many Edo people that blend with Yoruba and even speak the language as if they are Yoruba people... generally,Edo people blend with all tribes easily

You are Ishan and a minority clan in Edo your people have no say in Edo history . The Benin people are related to Yoruba. Mercy Aigbe, Mercy Esobolo, Doris Simon and Toyin Abraham are core Benin. Oranmiyan grandson of Oduduwa was the great great grandfather of the Benin people.

^^^Clarion Chukwura has acted in many Yoruba movies and she has a pure Yoruba mother and Onitsha father! Cc:Tinax

It's obvious you've got a loose-button up there, if not you wouldn't mention people's mothers on social media.

It's also glaring you don't have a dime respect for your baby-maker mother.

I'll advise you get life and desist from Uromi weed which has crashed your brain.

Stupid fowl

lol
Stupid fowl

OP bleeped up big time by not including My favorite actor
Ibrahim Chatta...He can act all roles superbly well.
He's a Nupe man from Kwara state.

The non Igbo among them left the Igbo dominated English movie because of discrimination and joined the Yoruba movie industry where they were fully accepted. They became more famous in the Yoruba movie and some of them even became producers something they couldn't achieve in the Igbo dominated English movie industry.

Yoruba people and their wahala

Fathia balogun real name was faith.she was from ugheli in delta.she convert to Muslim when she marry saheed balogun and adopt the name fathia balogun.Both fathia and saheed balogun were born the same day in the same hospital.

Same day, see Hospital

Regina Chukwu is even more popular these days. You would virtually see her in every Africa magic yoruba movie. Shes so fluent in Yoruba. Seems she was born in Lagos.

donstan18:
The only Yoruba actress I fancy is Margaret Bandele Olayinka, popularly known as Iya Gbonkan.

There's this unexplainable Orgasm I derive each time I set my eyes on her.

I wish to go on a date with her someday.

you are being escorted

Isn't this NEXTD18?!

There's a reason why they are Edo and Delta, even Togo,....... OP should go figure

zombieTRACKER:


Yoruba muslims should find a name for their movie industry just like their Hausa Fulani counterparts...

Grow-up, don't start what you can't finish.
Muslims are far more than what you can just joke around shamelessly with, both in history and present day. If not for weakness and corruption of some bad eggs, your type will never have the guts to say such a thing.

post=91753005:

They love Yoruba and during regional government Edo and Delta massively voted to be separated from West, go and read your history

Nigerian politics is the opposite of reality.

Buhari easily won the last election, does that mean majority of Nigerians love him?

Ykc2:
If calabar is capital of nigeria the same thing will be happening ,every one will understand calabar

,if lagos was never a capital of Nigeria Lagos will just be like othe states in nigeria,today lekki will still be reptiles infested forest ,

Capital or no capital, Lagos naturally has that allure, vibrancy and energy to draw in people from all corners of the country and world. It is easy to feel at home, integrate and thrive there. It can only be compared to cities like New York, London, Toronto etc.

They all grewhp in south west.

Yoruba is very easy if u reside in d west
