But all those Ezemmuo,cultist and babalawo end up in the church or are delivered by a pastor or Rev Father before the end of the movie.

immortalcrown:
Tell them the meanings of Ezemmuo and Babalawo. Many Nigerian movies have ezemmuo and babalawo. Nigerian movies also have young boys who join cult and fight to kill. Are those ones Christians in the movies?

DispatcherLagos:
Do South Africans waste their precious time on those rubbish Ariria and idumota movies?

AlexBells:

I hope in your Yoruba culture you have Igwe, Eze, lolo, which Nollywood movie have you seen Oba, Alafin, Emir, the fact it is produced in Lagos does not change the culture it is built around, between Lagos is no man's land

zhike:


To confirm that most of the movies are done by Christian, they end with this statement “To God be the Glory”

Honestly, you're obviously not saying the truth or u don't know what you're saying. Firstly, either it's Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa movie, they're all called Nollywood. The ones you categorized as Igbo inclined is the Igbo version of Nollywood.

Yoruba dominate Nollywood. Infact, they speak Yoruba in English Nollywood than any other language, even the Igbos in the movies, don't you know that the fact that Nollywood is centralized around Lagos boost the Yoruba chance of dominating it? Likewise the music industry and other industries too.

Go check Nollywood cinema movies , most of them are more Yoruba inclined filled mostly with Yoruba actors. Do you know Kunle Afolayan? He's the most successful director that directs top notch and fantastic movies that are internationally-recognized and most of those movies display Yoruba culture.

If you doubt me, go and check Netflix and do survey of all the movies there only if you'll be sincere with your outcome.

If it makes you feel better, okay lol, I have told you the very truth, the fact America produce more grossing movies doesn't make Hollywood bigger than Bollywood, no one is asking who is producing more grossing movie, for every one Yoruba Nollywood star there are five Igbos

Does being in Lagos mean that Igbos are not in control of Alaba, Oga Igbos own Nollywood and more movies are produced daily portraying Igbo culture, believe it or not, a tree does not make a forest. The Nollywood as we know today portrays Igbo culture and city life, and more Igbos feature in the movie industry than any other nationalities take it to the bank Nollywood is Igbo

Mr Thomas said that the report put Lagos State with the highest number of movies produced for the period under review with 179, while Abuja followed with 164 movies and Onitsha is behind with 121 movies.

He said that the analysis by censorship location further shows that Kano had 42, Port Harcourt 26, while Jos and Benin recorded six and three movies respectively for the period under review.

Armaggedon:
It will take Yoruba 1000 years to dream of catching up on successes recorded by Igbo in nollywood. I do not need to engage into silly arguments with. search about the NMVCB data on movies produced in the country and you see your true standing.




While lagos usually take the first, it is always by Abuja or Onitsha second. Also worthy of note is while movie produced in Onitsha and elsewhere in the East are almost exclusively Igbo, movies produced in lagos are dominated by Igbos and independent Media companies such as multi choice and Iroko before yoruba producers. I can assure you even the cinema movies you banter words about, although occupy about 10% of the total movie volume, is still Igbo dominated,except yorubas are naturally 'loud'. I know about Izu Ojukwu, Obi Emelonye etc doing well there. Instead of arguing, may more attention to 'executive producer' part while watching movies.

I just saw an Islamic "ruling on watching films" on the front page this morning. And according to that ruling, it is wrong to watch films cause the contents are lies and they normally play music in the background. It makes sense why they might not be well represented in such an industry.

Now check it yourself, who dominates the awards most. This is for this year. Note: the non-yoruba names there could also be South south as they're also very huge in the industry .

Lol, do Muslims too don't believe in God or what are you saying. Muslims lifestyle doesn't reflect in their actions especially southern Muslims. If you see an average Yoruba Muslim, you won't be able to see any specific reflection of him being a Muslim physically if you've not engaged him yet.

Armaggedon:
So an award that includes categories such as ' best social online content creator' and 'best lighting designer' is all you to prove you dominate nollywood? are you really ok?

leksite120:
It's obvious you don't know anything about what you're saying, u even said the cinema movies are dominated by Igbos. Go and check it yourself na .

zhike:


Muslims prefer to say Allah not God

Armaggedon:
Do you have evidence yorubas produce more movies than Igbos on cinema or you simply want to keep repeating the lie until it becomes truth?

leksite120:
And that's the only thing you could deduce from there,. That's AMVCA guy, stop saying nonsense. It's still under Nollywood if you don't know.. Abegi. Be like you still dey live for 1975

leksite120:
Lol. It's an obvious and glaring fact.
Without even telling you, common sense would tell you that most cinema movies are produced in Lagos, that alone gives Yoruba the edge.

According to Nigeria stats 50 percent of population is Christian and 50 percent of the population is Muslim, but in Nigeria movies everyone is Christian.

South Africans are asking why Muslim are not appearing in Nollywood movies?

Yoruba dominate Nollywood. Infact, they speak Yoruba in English Nollywood than any other language, even the Igbos in the movies try to feel among by speaking Yoruba or have you seen any Yoruba actor forcing himself to speak Igbo? Don't you know that the fact that Nollywood is centralized around Lagos boost the Yoruba chance of dominating it? Likewise the music industry and other industries too.
Standard Nollywood movies that are produced in Lagos are Yoruba inclined not the Asaba ones.

Go check Nollywood cinema movies , most of them are more Yoruba inclined filled mostly with Yoruba actors. Do you know Kunle Afolayan? He's the most successful director that directs top notch and fantastic movies that are internationally-recognized and most of those movies display Yoruba culture.

But Kannywood is the first film industry in Nigeria. Movies were first shot in Northern Nigeria before the creation of Nollywood or any Southern film industry.

AlexBells:

How have secession ever impacted Nollywood, whether Tinubu wins or lose doesn't change the fact that the Igbos owns Nigeria, we are enjoying every part of th country so, chill secessionist no get beef with our movie industry

AlexBells:

Nollywood is not divided into three, Kaniwood which is the Hausa version exist, though Yoruba movie industry is almost merging with Nollywood but it is still distinct, 90% of Nollywood movies are centred on the Igbo society, that's why there is usduslly no muslim movie coming from Nollywood

DispatcherLagos:
Do South Africans waste their precious time on those rubbish Ariria and idumota movies?

Transcriber:
do you have evidence for the otherwise?

Of course not

AlexBells:

What's then the essence if it only portrays city life, well and if it doesn't matter that Igbo culture is being portrayed to this day, I believe tribalism won't let you see those, Peter Edochie, Yul Edochie and many more still have movies strongly rooted in Igbo culture,

I must even confess that Nollywood is more Igbotic today than it was 15 years back, during the times of Ramsey Noah, Jim Iyke, Emeka Ike Nollywood was more on campus life but today more moves displaying Igbo culture is cinemas, lagos life, Abuja life is not Yoruba culture and people like Funke Akindele, Aniola badmus don't represent Yoruba culture at all, or you haven't seen badmus act with queen Nwa okoye in Igbo cultural settings
