Nollywood has come to stay and waxing stronger as the day goes by to the extent that other countries want to associate with the industry which has contributed immensely to the growth of the Nigerian economy.

In analyzing how the growth of the make-belief industry has been rapid in terms of growth, many would say thanks to the English aspect of Nollywood, while some will say the Yorubas and others would want to settle for the Kannywood, but whatever aspect it is, Nollywood is Nollywood.
You will agree with me that a non-Yoruba person who does not even understand the language, will find it saddening to decode what they are saying because the translation sometimes does not conform with what the actors are saying and sometimes it is not all what the actor is saying that is being translated. The few translation they manage to give is always spelt wrongly and could be misleading at times.

You will agree with me that in terms of good story line, we have to give it to the Yoruba movies. They are very good at telling the story the natural or native way. But is faced with the challenge of relaying it with good English translation which i feel could be better if adequate attention is given to it.

its annoying

I needed this laugh after having such a lousy day today.

I agree with this post that the Yorubas are very good at telling the story the natural and native way. But is faced with the challenge of relaying it with good English translation which i feel could be better if adequate attention is given to it.

Haha

Nooo! ah! ah!
Abeg mek una leave translations the way they are
That is the fun in yoroober movies




Imagine one guy lamenting in a movie
"People now see me as the king of se*ual intercourse




Ofoka sibe!

Mehn..i don't watch those movies but I always see their weird translations on social media...it gets funny at first then it gets sad, real sad

I think they need awareness from the viewers. May be if they see this thread they will do something about it.

Lies
The storylines are even more wack than the translations. Its all about juju

The free Education rears its head again, for sometime i was thinking they were meant to be funny lines for comedies

Lmao.* it's sad really.

I will be very grateful if you can also provide the title of these movies.
It will be sent to the appropriate quarters.

If you fail to do that, may you never be remembered for good things in life.
