don't know if i'm the only one that noticed this, but i thuink the general belief is that english home-videos and their actors are better than yoruba films or actors, well i think this is pure crap and utter balderdash! When you see actors like ola Sobowale, Jide Kosoko, Racheal Oniga, Funso Adeolu, Yomi Fash etc play alongside their english movie counterparts, they always give a good account of themselves. The funniest pat is that some of the yoruba actors even speak better english than the so-called english actors, don't you guys think so?

@Lumafon,
These people you've mentioned are just as good in English home videos so its actually their ability to ACT, not what language they speak when they are acting.
The thing is Yoruba movies are a lot more natural because the artistes are speaking their language or at least a language that embodies their culture and so they don't have to struggle with the nuances that English language presents. I don't understand Yoruba but I watch a lot of Yoruba movies, because the delivery is a lot more believable and therefore more enjoyable. That's not to say that all Yoruba actors/actresses are good, it's just when you're completely in control of the language you're using, your flaws go unnoticed.
Like I mentioned before, someone like Sola Fosudo for instance, is brilliant in both genres. I don't think that any group is better than the other. I think that a good actor is a good actor, no matter what language; however if it's a language you understand and speak well, it is an added advantage.
that is my own opinion o!Cheers
