Armaggedon: Heresy 1. Kannywood have association 2. Nollywood Yoruba have association 3. Nollywood Igbo have association 4. Nollywood English have association Gone are the days when NOLLYWOOD English produce films like - The wicked landlord, My Mother in law, Amaka the village girl, Agony of a virgin Now levels have change Nollywood English is now Omo ghetto Chief daddy King of thieves Wedding party Sugar rush Prophetess Fate of alakade My village people Jennifer's diary The problem with Igbos is that they don't follow trends, they are too adamant to old ways of doing things Anybody can watch Yoruba movies and love it, the graphic is just standard and subtitile is okay Many non Yorubas know most of Yoruba actors in fact many of them act both Yoruba and NOLLYWOOD English, I know many igbos that prefer Nollywood Yoruba If you decide to argue, just tune your goTV or DStv to the two and compare African magic Yoruba and African magic Igbo Iree o 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rahman2330:lol. Ever since yorubas started venturing in the scence, our movies started lacking appeal and fanbase, highest grossing, directed by yorubas? It's like you know little about movies. |

ForumNL:First i must commend your directors, but then again directors don't own or even write the movie. Then again, most of these so called "yoruba directed highest grossing movies", do not have more than a 6 point IMDB rating, so these movies aren't actually appealing to foreigners. It wasn't like this before, you know? |
Re: South Africans Are Asking Why In Nigerian Movies Everyone Is Christian by Donmobi(m): 12:11pm On Sep 05, 2022 |
ForumNL:lol. Mr ibu, Mama G, aki na paw paw. Now those are what Carribeans are attracted to, they would rather prefer the classics or nonetheless modern films with igbo cultural setting than anything. Why indian movie sell is because they make movies in their own style same as Nigeria, but since y'all came to the scene, you've been trying to change the pattern by copying Hollywood style thinking, it's more modernized. It's typical of Yorubas. Very "sophisticated" fellas. |

Donmobi: Helloooo..! Who knows Nigerian movies before ? Who dey watch Nigeria movies before? Let's tell ourselves some truth na, is it Aki and Paw paw, Mr Ibu or Sam Loco that has international recognitions None was even recognized by Netflix All d Aki and Paw paw are within, we are the only ones that know them, how many of them ever featured international actors? |

Donmobi: You are not ashamed of your self Those who are struggling to get any form of recognition now in Nigeria of today film industry, who will feature them sef, maybe Nollywood Igbo sha Too substandard movies, thank God for Yorubas that put our movies on classical and international levels |
Re: South Africans Are Asking Why In Nigerian Movies Everyone Is Christian by Donmobi(m): 12:24pm On Sep 05, 2022 |
ForumNL:i did ask if you knew anything about movies. You haven't replied me. Now, nollywood is the 2nd largest movie producing industry in the universe, a feat achieved decades ago by yours truly, as a main contributor. As of today, if you ask the average Kenyan, Tanzanian, South African, Jamaican, Haitian, to tell you their fav actors in Nollywood, 99% of those names you discarded would certainly be there. |

Rahman2330:inferiority complex is what you're suffering from that's why you can't seem to stop comparing yourself to Igbos. Since you're claiming dumb, let bring it down to your level using your gotv example. You will never see most actors in Africa magic Yoruba in any other channel. Even the most famous Yoruba actor odunlade has not managed to make a break through in Nollywood because most Yoruba language language actors speak poor English with a terrible accent. Funke akindele with all her efforts has not overcome this accent barrier. Check out African magic Igbo, African magic epic, rok2 and African magic urban (to a reasonable extent) they feature same people who belong to AGN. This is the nollywood we know. that is why no Igbo will ever say nollywood Igbo, because it's tautology! The only people saying "Yoruba nollywood" "new nollywood" are the Yorubas in the periphery looking for a place in mainstream. When nollywood was christened, it is on record that Yorubas in the industry opposed it. And they are correct because the obvious different historical paths. Why they refused to name their industry like Hausas is beyond me. Is it fear of failure? Ghanaians even have a more viable film industry than the Yorubas. You are able to name your movies means you don't have a prosperous industry and you might never act if you refuse to acknowledge the need to build one from the scratch instead of forming exo-parasites unto nollywood. |

Donmobi: Did you just say NOLLYWOOD is the 2nd largest movie production but in ranking of best movies production Nollywood is not in top 10 So what are you saying? "2nd largest Production by volume" bunch of substandard movies that has not gone beyond Nigeria If there is actors that known in other African countries it will be the likes of Papa Ajasco etc Stop celebrating mediocrity |
Re: South Africans Are Asking Why In Nigerian Movies Everyone Is Christian by Donmobi(m): 12:36pm On Sep 05, 2022 |
