gohome: Human beings get a pay off from Tribalism. The false fantasy that they are far superior to their fellow man because they have slight variations from them. Thats how all the "isms" survive. |

londoner:. . Seriously, you are one of the very few ladies that I admire and respect their very candid and unbias views on topics. This was exactly my point in my post before that little Bimbo attempted to trivialize my point by insulting herself. Of what benefit is making movies along tribal lines only for thesame people to come back and start screaming segregation and $hiit. Any actor that sees herself as a Yoruba,Igbo or Hausa actor should not complain when demeaning treatments occassioned by such needless cliques and categorizations are meted out to them. It is ok if some producer, directors and marketers decide to make movies in their mother tongue but it should not exist as a parallel industry to the bigger "Nollywood Industry". It is just plane dumb and self-defeating, period. |

I'm sorry, but i must tell the truth, the Yoruba language movie genre seems very closed off to those who are not of Yoruba extraction or those who dont speak Yoruba, it seems quite cliquish IMO."Nollywood" has made it a NON ISSUE for an actor or actress to either be Igbo or speak Igbo in order to be successful. Delusion of grandeur Ticks me off when people who dont know what they are talking about think they can run their mouths and call it the truth You've obviously never watched a Yoruba movie if you truly believe only Yorubas star in them. Rachel Oniga isnt Yoruba, neither is Zack Orji, Tony Umeh, Lillian Bach, Caro Ekeme and the many non-Yorubas who have starred in their movies. Nollywood indeed. Bollywood still tops them off and guess what? they dont speak English in their movies. Slumdog Millionaire that was a big hit at the Oscars , was 70% Hindi. Just because you people have such low self esteem and try to be like Hollywood doesnt mean everyone should follow suite. again explain to me why Jenifa despite being a Yoruba movie was widley known and loved by non-Nigerians? After all "they dont speak Yoruba" Like the Ghanaian you people have now retorted to making cheap imitation of mediocre American movies, to make matters worse, you dont even use indigenous names anymore, that's how much self hatred your 'wood" has. throwing in mediocre lesbian and gay scenes just to get attention. Better talk to your Uche before they turn her into a chicken |

gohome:lol, I was going to ask her which edition of Slum Dog Million she saw cos the one I saw has more english in it that Hindu. And her arguement are greatly flawed, in the sense that India is not culturally heterogenuos like Nigeria where people speak more than 100 languages. So I guess everybody should make movies in their mother tongues. That some non Yorubas occassionally act in yoruba movies does not prove anything, it does not mean it is ok, from a business point of view, it is folly as it will limit patronage. Besides that Jenifa girl did not start out with yoruba speaking movies, she started out with that unicef sponsored television programm "I need to Know". She probably stuck with yoruba speaking movies because she could easily get roles in that genre and unlike most of the women in that genrem she speaks way better english. |
Re: Uche Jombo -’yoruba Speaking Actors Do Not Respect Us. by gohome: 12:32am On Feb 25, 2011 |
rhymz: perhaps she/he watched the Hindi version subtitled in English. When I was told Yorubas are very tribalistic I tot it was a fallacy, but man its true ohhh, they just cant believe their eyes only them watch their movies, not being exposed is a bad thing |

Anything omo Yoruba puts hand, na scatter scatter. na so jide kosoko, dat big belle fool wey igbo producers helped out of poverty dey open mouth for interview dey yarn rubbish about nollywood igbo producers. i dont blame Yoruba Yoruba. na so so jealousy dey worry dem yeye people. We all know living in bondage was Nigeria's first commercially produced film that was famous in all parts of nigeria, but some tribal bigots here are trying to let us know, Yoruba films have been in existence. i dont blame those im.beciles bc they never crossed their states. if that be the case, then ichoku and co have been in existence since independence period. yoriba will always want to claim pioneer of every thing good even when the evidence are so glaring. Very TRIBALISTIC set of anumanus! |

German movie Please show me the Oscar that English has gotten you? You are busy making Jenifa did this and that. Point is itr was a successful movie for Funke and spoken in Yoruba. |

Let's not start any unfair comparisons btwn Yoruba and Nollywood movies. Yoruba's are a tribe rich in culture and tradition. Mayhap, they could find no niche in Nollywood, and so decided to create an industry where Yoruba-speaking film lovers can enjoy films made in their language. And you don't have to be "yoruba" to be in their movies. Many cross-over actors ranging from Ibo to South-east act quite comfortable in these movies with a passable command of Yoruba language. People like Funke Akindele found no avenue to grow in mafia-like Nollywood, so she went to her Yoruba roots and has made a name for herself in the Yoruba genre. She is well-respected as an actor and ambassador and has graced a lot of "red carpets" (@ gohome). Finally, any Nigerian still slamming Nigerian movies, whether English-speaking (Nollywood) or the Yoruba, Ibo etc movies as CRAP, should feel SHAME. If you can't be proud of what the industry has so far achieved, then where is the incentive for them to improve? |
Re: Uche Jombo -’yoruba Speaking Actors Do Not Respect Us. by Nobody: 8:53am On Feb 25, 2011 |
gohome: There is a contextual truth to this assertion. Illiterates and Semi-literate folks across all the major ethnic groups in Nigeria are just as 'tribalistic' as the others (although Igbos and Hausas on this level tend to be more 'accommodating' on a social level than Yorubas, for real). But the real shock is that amongst the educated, professional and supposedly enlightened folks across all ethnic groups, Yorubas are wayyyyyy more tribalistic, and this is very unfortunate. You'd see them prattling on in their language to the exclusion of a friend or colleague who isn't Yoruba. And when you protest against such alienating behaviour they'll condemn you for making no effort to learn their language! What is the essence of all your education and 'enlightenment' if you can't communicate fluently in a common language (English or Pidgin) for all and sundry to understand? You see such annoying behaviour everywhere - in federal ministries and parastatals (even in Abuja), universities (you'd see their so called professors prattling away in Yoruba language to the exclusion of other non-yoruba lecturers), banks, high level corporations, on and on. And yet they'll be ever eager to make a show of how 'educated' they are. If so, why behave so clannish and alienate others who don't understand the language? I have experienced this on wayyyy too many occasions. |

ThiefOfHearts: You are still making the same mistake, do you know how many people speak spanish and german? these languages are even taught in our schools oooh, na wah ohh. This comparison is getting to be plain stupid. Countries are making movies in their official language and are being nominated, why dont yorubas make your in your official language, has it occurred to you maybe they cant? or are not good enough? |
Re: Uche Jombo -’yoruba Speaking Actors Do Not Respect Us. by Ayowumie(m): 10:44am On Feb 25, 2011 |
Since Uche Jombo is emphatic on the division in Nollywood, then i can only English speaking actors suck. Why should u think that somebody is thinking that you should great him first if you yourself are not ego centric. My conclusion: Uche is feeling to funky thereby xpecting pipu to accord her respect Arysexy:First, you are a tribalist who only discuss sentimentally and who for incongruity does not know fact from fiction. Jide Kosoko started his roles in theater as far back as early 1970s infact he was an appretice of Ogunde in the 60s. He has been in the industry for decades, longer than Pete Edochie. So, how did Igbo producers bring him into limelight? I would only believe and accord you respect if you would convince me by telling me the movie through which they brought him in to fame and the year the movie was produced. Then, about the existence of Yoruba movie. You are the first person that has ever argued the "truthfulness of logic". Tribalism apart, Yorubas were the first to shoot movies (i stand to be corrected). They are the pioneers as far as the movie industry in West Africa is concerned. University of Ibadan was the first to have a theater art faculty, so this helped them (but it was not an absolute factor) in being the first people to set the pace in the movie industry. I wonder how come you did not know this and yet you were talking as though you were an expert. Please, learn |
Re: Uche Jombo -’yoruba Speaking Actors Do Not Respect Us. by rhymz(m): 10:57am On Feb 25, 2011 |
pro01:may be it has to do with the fact that out of the "big three" the Yorubas(no insult intended) are the list integrated ethnicity across the Nigerian states. That is why sometimes I tend to be patient with some of them that are a innocently Naive not to understand that Lagos and other southwestern states are not all there is to Nigeria. That is why a lot of them think it is ok to have a yoruba speaking industry existing along side the bigger and all inclusive "Nollywood". Somebody tried to suggest a possible deliberate effort by some elements to alienate yoruba actors, that's a big lie. Whatever limitation they face is not different from what others face-be you Yoruba,Igbo,Hausa,Calabar,ijaw etc-na dsame thing. You will need better skills than ability to speak your mother tongue to make it in a competitive industry. Even in hollywood, black people complain of not getting befitting roles in an industry dominated by whites, what do you expect? Na person wey dey control d purse na im go determine who im want, after all Olu Jacobs is thumping Peter Edochie on the head in roles that he, Pete will do flawlessly well, yet the people that control the movie budget will rather choose Olu Jacobs perhaps for business considerations and that is how it works in business. Nobody gives a hoot about you if you wont appeal to their interests, all these false claims have tribal jingoism and bigotry written all over it. |

Cinema of Nigeria The cinema of Nigeria grew quickly in the 1990s and 2000s to become the second largest film industry in the world in terms of number of annual film productions, placing it ahead of the United States and behind the Indian film industry.[1] According to Hala Gorani and Jeff Koinange formerly of CNN, Nigeria has a US$250 million movie industry, churning out some 200 videos for the home video market every month.[2][3] Nigerian cinema is Africa's largest movie industry in terms of both value and the number of movies produced per year. Although Nigerian films have been produced since the 1960s, the rise of affordable digital filming and editing technologies has stimulated the country's video film industry. The Nigerian video feature film industry is sometimes colloquially known as Nollywood, having been derived as a play on Hollywood in the same manner as Bollywood.[4] History The first Nigerian films were made by filmmakers such as Ola Balogun and Hubert Ogunde in the 1960s, but they were frustrated by the high cost of film production.[5] However, television broadcasting in Nigeria began in the 1960s and received much government support in its early years. By the mid-1980s every state had its own broadcasting station. Law limited foreign television content so producers in Lagos began televising local popular theater productions. Many of these were circulated on video as well, and a small scale informal video movie trade developed. The release of the box-office movie Living in Bondage in 1992 by NEK Video Links owned by Kenneth Nnebue in the eastern city of Onitsha set the stage for Nollywood as it is known today. The story goes that Kenneth Nnebue had an excess number of imported video cassettes which he then used to shoot the first film. [6] The huge success of this film set the pace for others to produce other films or home videos. Through the business instincts and ethnic links of the Igbo and their dominance of distribution in major cities across Nigeria, home videos began to reach people across the country. Nollywood exploded into a booming industry that pushed foreign media off the shelves, an industry now marketed all over Africa and the rest of the world.[7] The use of English rather than local languages served to expand the market and aggressive marketing using posters, trailers, and television advertising also played a role in Nollywood's success. Since then, thousands of movies have been released. One of the first Nigerian movies to reach international renown was the 2003 release Osuofia in London, starring Nkem Owoh, the famous Nigerian comedic actor. Modern Nigerian cinema ’s most prolific auteur is Chico Ejiro, who directed over 80 films in an 8- year period and brags that he can complete production on a movie in as little as three days.[8] Ejiro’s brother Zeb is the best-known director of these videos outside of the country. The first Nollywood films were produced with traditional analog video, such as Betacam SP, but today all Nollywood movies are produced using digital video technology. A March 2006 article in The Guardian cited Nigeria's film industry as the third largest in the world in terms of earnings and estimated the industry to bring in US$200 million per year.[9] In 2009, Unesco described Nollywood as being the second-biggest film industry in the world after Bollywood in terms of output and called for greater support for the industry, which is the second-largest employer in Nigeria.[10] Production Most movies are not produced in studios. Video movies are shot on location all over Nigeria with hotels, homes, and offices often rented out by their owners and appearing in credits in the movies. The most popular locations are shot in the cities of Lagos, Enugu, and Abuja. However, distinct regional variations appear between the northern movies made primarily in the Hausa language, the western Yoruba movies, the Edo language movies shot in Benin City, and the Igbo movies shot in the southeast. Many of the big producers have offices in Surulere, Lagos. Nigerian directors adopt new technologies as soon as they become affordable. Bulky videotape cameras gave way to their digital descendents, which are now being replaced by HD cameras. Editing, music, and other post- production work are done with common computer-based systems. Distribution The primary distribution centers are Idumota Market on Lagos Island, and 51 Iweka Road in Onitsha in Anambra State. Currently, Nigerian films outsell Hollywood films in Nigeria and many other African countries. Some 300 producers turn out movies at an astonishing rate —somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 a year. The films go straight to DVD and VCD discs. Thirty new titles are delivered to Nigerian shops and market stalls every week, where an average film sells 50,000 copies. A hit may sell several hundred thousand. Discs sell for two dollars each, making them affordable for most Nigerians and providing astounding returns for the producers. Most of the films are produced by independent companies and businessmen. However, the big money for films in Nigeria is made in the direct- to-video market. The average film costs between US$17,000 and US$23,000, is shot on video in just a week—selling up to 150,000–200,000 units nationwide in one day. With this type of return, more and more are getting into the film business there. By most reports, Nollywood is a $500-million industry. And it keeps growing. According to Frank Ikegwuonu, author of Who's Who in Nollywood,[11] about "1,200 films are produced in Nigeria annually." And more and more filmmakers are heading to Nigeria because of "competitive distribution system and a cheap workforce." Further, Nigerian films seem to be better received by the market when compared to foreign films because "those films are more family oriented than the American films. Nigerian movies are available in even the most remote areas of the continent. The last few years have seen the growing popularity Nigerian films among the people of African diaspora in both Europe, North America and the Caribbean. Nigerian films are currently receiving wider distribution as Nigerian producers and directors are attending more internationally acclaimed film festivals. In the USA, viewers can watch Nollywood and other West African movies on Afrotainment. Themes Many Nollywood movies have themes that deal with the moral dilemmas facing modern Africans. Some movies promote the Christian or Islamic faiths, and some movies are overtly evangelical. Others, however, address questions of religious diversity, such as the popular film One God One Nation, about a Muslim man and a Christian woman who want to marry but go through many obstacles. Portrayal in the Western media The 2007 documentary Welcome to Nollywood by director Jamie Meltzer gives an overview of the industry. It pays particular attention to directors Izu Ojukwu and Chico Ejiro, and acknowledges the unusual, rapid, and enterprising way that most Nollywood films are created as well as their significance and contribution to the greater society and the production difficulties Ojukwu faced during production of his war epic Laviva.[12] Franco Sacchi's 2007 documentary This Is Nollywood follows the production of Check Point, directed by Bond Emeruwa. It features interviews with Nigerian filmmakers and actors as they discuss their industry, defend the types of films they make and detail the kind of impact they can have.[13] In 2007, Franco Sacchi presented the film on Nollywood at the TED conference. [14] The 2007 Danish documentary Good Copy Bad Copy features a substantial section on Nigerian cinema. It focuses on the direct-to-DVD distribution of most Nigerian movies, as well as the industry's reliance on off-the-shelf video editing equipment as opposed to the more costly traditional film process. [15] A 2008 Canadian documentary Nollywood Babylon was co-directed by Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal, and produced by AM Pictures and the National Film Board of Canada in association with the Documentary Channel. It played in the Official Competition at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2009.[16] |

ragdollz, while I completely agree with your post, Yoruba movie industry was not created as a retaliation to the English industry, especially since the former came into existance before the latter *Cougar*: Not only that he's completely re-tarded I cant even be bothered to argue with him. Look at the idiotic comebacks. None of which makes sense to anything Ive said First they claim that only Yorubas are allowed in Yoruba movies, I debunked that garbage, since they couldnt refute that they are now whining about how speaking English in the only way to success. Whitewashed nitwits. I am still waiting for someone to list an English speaking movie that has even been nominated for anything outside of Naija, since you know English is so special. Even in your local award shows, no be Jenifa that won? why didnt "Corporate Maid" win. LOL The funny thing is most of these creatures foaming at the mouth dont even WATCH these movies which is evident in their daft comments, just here to make noise, at least those of us who actually buy and watch these movies can have a genuine discussion on what the problem is. abeg just tell your sister Uche to apologize before Fadeyi turns her to foods for the gods. Make you no say I didnt warn you. |

I believe we argue to learn not to waste our time, TRIBALISM will not make you a better person it will make you ignorant and retarted, just be open minded for once. Someone said Yoruba movies seems closed off to those that speaks and understand yoruba only, u did a very good job at misunderstanding that. we did comprehension in english language from nursery school right through still uni and yet you couldn't understand that, wahala dey.

gohome GOHOME! You really better gohome to learn respect and being proud of one's background. All the craps you have churned out makes me "guess" you are a young chap. I'd advice you to get your self exposed not just literally but also cognitively. If IGBO believe they are better at acting in english, what concerns me to critizise them as a Yoruba MAN? I really dont bother. The kind of English spoken by some of these half wits Nollywood Stars are just deplorable anyway. It is only mediocre that would really revel in such bush English. I have seen rubbish nigerian english movies and have also watched Yoruba films that wanna makes me vormit. Likewise, I have seen good english nigerian movies as well as substantial number of really good Yoruba movies. So you see, filming in English is not a prerogative of good acting. Aburo, I suspect your youthful exuberance is beclouding your sense of reasoning. In those few line I wrote, where did I mention that you are IGBO, HAUSA, YORUBA, IGALA or whatever? Who cares where you are from? I just pointed out how simplistic your arguements are and you think you are justified Yorubas are TRIBALISTIC by that? If that is your believe, I am sorry Nigeria is in trouble if more of your sort are borned. People that would rather throw away their cultures and languages because they do not want to be termed TRIBALISTIC are a danger to the progress of NIGERIA. They are actually more dangerous than the "vocal tribalist". You can see that there is a glaring difference between me and you: I have age, experience, and enlightenment on my side. And also, I am rather proud of who I am and where I am from. Now, that does not give me the right to talk others down. I am proud in spending my money to promote my culture and language. Yoruba film are authentic Nigerian nay AFRICAN thing. The english language might be official, but it is definitely not my language. No nation that abandons her cultures, language has really progressed, except if you wanna redefine progressiveness. We should learn to appreciate our languages and cultures, because that is the beginning of enlightenment. I maintain, let Yoruba make their movies in Yoruba and let the other do as they please. Atleast nobody have forced you to buy the Yoruba movies, why the complain? Let the billions stick to their market and the 5 million to their. What is so difficult comprehending about that? Why is it you the 1 billion complaining about the 5 millions? It should be the 5 million mouthing the 1 billion about marginalization if your logic were right. Alas, your logic is not only faulty, the premise on which it stands is also cracky. Lastly, you can continue to wallow in your dumb game of ASSUMPTION that Yorubas are TRIBALISTIC, that I live in OGBOMOSHO, EDE, IGBO-ORA, EHIN-IGBETI, KABBA, FIDITI etc. That alone has exposes your folly. Young man, englighten yourself and be proud of what you are. Being proud of one's heritage does not equate to ETHNICISM which is the plain RIGHT word to use to describe the subject at hand in your beloved english DIALECT. Have a nice day. |
