Apart from their usual dependence on diabolical means to unravel knotty issues before the movies can be brought to a conclusion, you also forget to mention the problem of employing semi literate translators to subtitle most of their movies in English. Some subtitle are so bad that they attempt to give a direct translation of Yoruba proverbs to English, an unnecessary efforts and misinforming a non-yaruba audience on what is actually communicated. In some cases, the subtitle will tell you an entirely different story from what is actually the story line, and give you a different picture of what is really transpiring in the movie. 1 Like |

Good and timely write up... But, why single out Yoruba movies? Yoruba movies are merely a bad subset of a morally decadent Nigerian entertainment industry. |

Uyomeyouyo: It makes my body crawl honestly speaking, I am not making this up. They speak English in between Yoruba lines even MORE than they do in real life, because they are of the warped opinion that it makes them look less local.... So in most instances, it is even a deliberate effort in places where such BS is not needed. Someone needs to seriously talk some sense into the heads of Yoruba movie producers. 1 Like 2 Shares |

YourNemesis: I understand your point, but anyone really interested in promoting Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa culture or language, should make his own movie. If my focus as a businessman is to make money, i can even make a movie where they are speaking Yoruba and Spanish! Mind you many Yoruba movies have Ibo and Benin actors like Regina Chukwu and Mercy Aigbe. The freedom of capitalism should never be sacrificed on the altar of "lets promote our culture ". Thats a job for the Ogun State Ministry of Culture and Tourism or the Federal counterpart or maybe like you mentioned let the Yoruba Movies Board fund such a movie and pay actors well; not the "Egbon/Aunty please help me manage this 20k till we sell" mentality that pervades the Yoruba movie industry. |

One yoruba film I watch that year. I will never forget that scene. A FAMILY HAD A SPIRITUAL PROBLEM AND WENT TO A PASTOR FOR PRAYERS. AFTER COUNSELING, THE PASTOR DECIDED TO PRAY AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID E JE KI A GBADURA (meaning: let us pray) and immediately he said NI ORUKO JESU NI A GBADURA (meaning: in Jesus name we have prayed) dem come cut scene maka why na 1 Like |

babzo: You are looking at this from the obtuse angle..lol First, the fact that they are already speaking Yoruba in a supposed Yoruba movie shows that they WANT TO make the movie despite the non-existent or only marginal profit gains. You do know that many of them have the choice of making movies in English or joining English nollywood, right? What is needed is just more regulation, every national, subnational or even ethnic movie board do some level of regulation on what can be or can not be churned out. But in Nigeria, they do nothing.... But of course that should not surprise anyone really, because this is a country that can't even enforce issues as serious as national borders talk less movie regulation. I no fit laff. |

Unlimitk2: Do u know you sound so stupid. U are such an unrepentant hater and a bigot. U don't have problem with the Yoruba movies, your problem is with the great Islamic religion. In Yoruba movies, Islam, Christianity and traditional religion are portrayed but u didn't attack then, u only attack the Islamic religion, which shows how bigotry is running through your vein.

They're really portraying our cultural values wrongly, they front tattoo as if it's part of our entity. Slangs are now the order of the day in our movies, most especially Yoruba movie. They consult herbalist on every issues as if is our norms. I think they have to be corrected on some their wrong ideologies. 1 Like |
