No More Igbo Movies: Why?

Qc-1 just make sure I find those words in my Dictionary or else 

Doesnt mean we shouldnt have Igbo films.

don't know why you people are bothering with olydimwitted, as you can see from all his posts, he knows absolutely nothing other than to gossip over who's divorcing who and making idiotic tribalistic comments. Oloshi ni, pure and simple.


Thank YOU. Finally someone who gets it. All these pitiful people making up lame excuses "oh more people speak English"

So bloody what?

That hasnt stopped the Spanish/Spanish speaking countries from making movies or any other country in the world and this hasnt even stopped them from winning awards in other countries. Mother India was the FIRST foreign movie to win an Oscar in the 50s and guess what? It WAS NOT in English. How many people understand Hindi?

Your excuses are bloody TERRIBLE.

I am still waiting for someone to tell me why their industry can't make BOTH Igbo and English movies, no one can answer the question, just yarning dust. Typical of Nigerians to put foreigners before themselves.

What are we saying and what are you saying? Do you even understand what this thread is about? Did you bother to read what the original poster had to say?

It's people that are against Igbo SPEAKING movies that should be considered "anti-Igbo"

Since when is English your native language?

and what does your garbage about Yoruba people have to do with this discussion? It's so funny how these pathetic people go around crying like ebeeres about being "hated" on yet they go around spewing tribalistic trash

Abi ori yin ti baja ni? Hopefully you will choke on that food.

Stay on topic or shut the hell up jare.

Hopefully they will stop acting like victims and stick to the topic.

None of them have bothered to answer the original poster's question, instead they are crying about "ngabti people".

I too would like an answer to this question.

*edited*

Is Ribadu an Igbo man?
speaking of Olu Jacobs,that guy is the finest,most polished actor in Nollywood.
His English is crisp and his voice is melodic.
TOH looks like you've reloaded once more LOl
Happy New year

The conclusion of this stupid post (WHY WAS I EVEN INVOLVED WITH THIS TOH TRASH, ANYWAYS?) is that the producers put their money where their mouth is, as the saying goes. Even the Edo/Delta producers do not make movies in their languages. Being private entrepreneurs, they know what's best for them. Anybody is free to produce in the language they choose. Whoever does not like it can go produce his own.

Also, I have just confirmed that some, though few, movies are made in Igbo language. You will find them if you ask for them at Alaba and other Igbo trading stores, especially in Igboland. However, I still maintain that language (used in films) is not the only avenue to exhibit one's culture.

I command that there be no more responses on this topic, I have concluded it.

The east is where Igbo people are concentrated, right?

The Mexicans are in Mexico yet I can still watch Amores Perros without going there, Seun.

Can you read? ''Especially'' suggests that you can find the movies in other places, but more in Igbo land. I am right here in Holland watching Igbo movies. Do you want to me bring them to your house? My friend, get up and go search for the movies in Idumota/Alaba/Aba/Onitsha/PH and other places where Igbo film merchants predominate.

FYI, for obvious reasons, you will not find Igbo films in typical Yoruba enclaves such as Ibadan, Abeokuta, etc, just like you will certainly not find Yoruba/Hausa/Ijaw (if any) films in typical Igbo enclaves. Why should I be bothered with Yoruba movies when I like to play global? Any Yoruba who is bothered with Igbo movies must have a strong reason because it is actually not typical of them to do so.

What is the definition of culture anyways? A way of life of the people at any given time and place. Isn't?
Does culture evolve?
If so, after more than 100 years of speaking English in Nigeria, is it wrong to say that English language is a Nigerian culture?

Ignorant people of Nairaland view culture only from one ancient, fixated perspective of customary beliefs that are not modifiable.

Shut up and stop your blatant exaggerations. I lived in Ibadan 15 years before relocating abroad. As far back as 15 years ago, you do not have many Igbo films in Ibadan as you would have them in Aba etc. Who except the few Igbos in these places will watch them? Are you a Nigerian who lives in planet mars? You must be kidding me. And, if you are so hard-pressed, and want to know why (in your warped thinking) Igbo movies are not in your film collection, ask the producers and indeed, force them to make Igbo movies to assuage your tainted ego.

The question remains unanswered: is language the only culture?

*yawn* you are indeed a waste of life. What am I saying, what are you saying. Jst running around the original question like a typical scammer. Since you apparently can't answer the question of the thread, get the hell out instead of going in circles asking stupid questions.

Oponu, language isnt the only culture but if you compare the acting of Nollywood to that of either indigenous Igbo movies, you'D see that one is better than the other for that obvious reason which is why some of us perfer them to the gabage that is out now. Alailojuti.  

Olydimwitted, I can only pray that the demon that is bothering you this New Year will finally leave you alone. or not. Either way you are a tormented soul 

Can you see that you can't answer a question straightword. Typical Nigerian yahooze. We are talking about Igbo movies, you are busy saying bullshit about something else. STAY ON TOPIC. We are asking for Igbo movies back because come of us believe movies where the actors speak their native tongues tend to have better acting and the crap you have to respond with is tribalsim? Are you insane? What is wrong with you? Abi ori e daru ni?

I'm not you. I'm not jealous of anyone so I don't need to adhere to tribalistic tactics, unlike YOU I have not said a word about your tribe. You however I can quote various places in which you're said all sorts of garbage or have you forgotten your ever so lame "Benin slave" comment? Yet you have the audacity tio try to act like some tortured victim now?

You're not smart, ok. Try your reverse psychology nonsense on someone with the same single digit IQ as yours. Someone who would fall for that crap ok?

Again, compare the acting and story lines of indigenous Igbo movies to the Nollywood ones and see for yourself which one is better.

If you don't intend on sticking on the topic of FILM and rather run your mouth about your hatred for the "ngabti people" then please don't respond to me anymore because I really don't care to hear about who stole your bread. Ok? Thanks.
