Nollywood Or Igbowood?

I think nollywood (not-hollywood) movies are downright fool of shit. I'm one soul amongst many you cannot catch wathing, rather, relaxing with a not-hollywood-igbowood movie. All they do is crap.
Is there a way the industry can improve? Ideas,  anyone?

Really Igbo wood, The muscular girls ith their bleached faces and strech marks, even the boys bleach. It gives me cramps

oh, ooo my friends, are you poeple jelouse or what,the igbos are doing a good job,or do we name it yoruibowood, any way which are wood you call it,that whon't stop them from acting

ha ha ha, so funny!

You're wasting time with that ethnic bigot. She's the self acclaimed warrior daughter of Usuman Dan Fodio. Be very careful before she 'digs out' her guns,     Almajiri anonymous with the sweet wind of change   

the nollywood or igbowood movie industry are not big enough to operate in segments like they are doing now on the basis of their ethnicity,what i have against the igbo film industry is their failure to carry either the yoruba artise or hausa artise along,
the funny thing is that they complain about the yoruba film industry being full of illeterates but they are not doing better themselves,any igbo movie is all about the big chief,a couple of honda crv,land cruisers and hummers,a massive mansion and they have a movie sorted out,the key to the growth of nollywood is them working together i v seen patience ozokwor in a yoruba movie,grace amah,ejike asiegbu,rmd amongst others showing the yoruba scene are open to collabos

Out of all the garbage written by others so far, I agree with this.

I'm watching a Yoruba movie at the moment by Sayid Balogun titled "Mi Ose Kogba" and it has Caro Ekeme, Lilian Bach and Zach Oriji in it. Caro & Lillian actually act better in this than they do in most of their English film. It's amusing really.

My problem with "Nollywood" is that they try to be exclusive which isnt cool considering the fact that the "Nolly" stands for Nigeria, not just one tribe. In some "Nollwyoof" ovies, you have people from other tribes playing parts that were specifically written for a Yoruba person to play. How does that make sense. Am i to believe out of the 140 million Nigerians, they can't find one yOruba person to play that particular role? It's quite ridiculous.

theres also the ethnic stereotype,where a yoruba girl/woman is stereotyped as being promiscous and will do anything for money in most of their movies,and the yoruba man is an illiterate landlord in lagos who only speaks with a thick accent and likes money.
of course nobody is holding anybody but what they are all after is the growth of the nigerian movie industry and it wont grow with that kind of attitude,we know the igbos run alaba market but they are not allowing a level playing field for other ethnicities,did u know that there are hausa movie artise but they are being stifled and not even given any chances,go to youtube and see the yoruba movie patience ozokwaor acted in,it had thousands of views and so many lovely comments,same as tony umez for us to grow as big as bollywood,only one ethnicity cannot do it thats a fact, imagine if one of these alaba multi-millionaire sponsored another shango, without any bias imagine how much they ll make?
nobody is hating all we r saying is erase the ethnic stereotype,leave a level playing field for all ethnic groups,and be united thats the only way to move foward

Really I havent noticed. which ones did you see such and what else do they protry us as?

Then again the ones I've seen hardly have Yoruba people anyway cept for  few with Olu Jacobs

LOL
TOH I didn't read your post before sending mine.
I love that Olu Jacobs.
We need more seasoned actors like him not clowns like Nkem Owoh (I love him though)

Nkem is no different from Baba Suwe. I don't really care for either.

You can go jump into The River Niger at the Asaba end and end your misery.
Did you get chased out of an audition  since they were looking for girls not female jackals
Pele!

You sound like a bloody imbecile. I would expect such a daft response from a 12 yr old, not YOU, Uche. Pathetic.

Who gives a bloody damn if he won an award? Think I take those fake awards seriously? The hell do they know about good movies or actors which is why they'd bother giving that one anything.

It's MY opinion that I'm giving. I don't think he's that great an actor, if YOU have a problem with it, then go fcuk yourself while you are at it,  He plays the same bloody roles more often than not. He's not better than those two midget rugrats they have in all those razz movies.

Where I live, we have freedom of speech.  Btw It's "could NOT care less" Ok? Omo Ale lasan

It doesnt matter, osisi Perhaps you should tell your brother to mind his business.

I personally have the RIGHT to say I don't like his acting and I WILL. Dont need some Down Syndome jackass telling me that I don't have the right because he was given some pity award. Like I give a shit.

Aisha2; northerners are forever complaining about everything from nollywood to the economy being monopolised by the south. What is YOUR contribution as a group to Nigeria?
Why can't you go and create your own hausawood?

Do something besides begging for once!
