romeo:

Are they part of Nollywood or do they have their own "wood"? as in Tadewood or Tundewood

Dis people sef!!

i think they should have their own wood cos nollywood is full of a lot of crap and more crap.

vicade:

i think they should have their own wood because nollywood is full of a lot of crap and more crap.

what would be the name of the wood?

cant it just be called wood

No it can't just be called WOOD

something must be attached to the wood! but i am surprised i do not know a shit about this people u just named or are they just another bunch of backyard directors that want to make the gullible minds think they are very good? abeg they are all crap and what they all churn out is crap

Do u watch nigerian movies ? if you do then you will know TADE OGIDAN AND TUNDE KELANI are in a class of their own compared to all those clowns in the nigeriam movie industry.

Then that's a positive thing about Nollywood or don't you think so? make we just send dem igbowood guys back to villa

vicade:

Nollywood or Igbowood? nice one

what i know for sure is that TADE OGIDANS OGD pictures and TUNDE KELANIS MAINFRAME pictures make the best movies in Nigeria by a wide margin. i could name a lot of their movies that other nollywood flicks don't come close.

i think quality and not quantity is priority.

i agree that the nollywood people are churning out a load of substandard works,but i dont think everyone going on their own will solve the problem but for the professionals to be allowed to do their thing, there are a lot of very talented people who cut across hausa,ibo,yoruba and who are still very relevant in the industry but have been frustrated because of the non professionals taking over, for a tunde kelani who i agree is a genius theres amaka igwe who is equally a genius as well and in the beginning of nollywood ,all these people were working together and growing untill the alaba people stepped in and other issues like yeye actors/actresses,emergency producers e.t.c

There is no Genius in the Nigerian film industry! they are all quacks

But what really is the definition of Nollywood or the Origin?

Mustay:

But what really is the definition of Nollywood or the Origin?

you took the words right out of my mouth.




Hollywood: a city in California, USA.  There's a tree known as Holly which could be the origin of the name.
In any case, Hollywood is an actual geographical location. Wood means forest, as we all know.

Nollywood:

Bollywood: 

Gollywood: 

Kannywood:



my own wood na Tollywood. or Tipollywood.

cadet, i'm so feeling u, boringhood.thats it,
the storylines all fall down to love, isn't that boring wachin different movies talking bout the same thing, ggggeeez, and no one shud say anything bout the action cuz its nuffin to write nor tlk about, so does drop it.

I just stumbled on this thread while chilling on another juicier thread. I can't believe anyone is busy posting on this thread (just like I can't even understand how anyone can watch ANY Nigerian movie at all, wether Igbowood, Arewawood or Owambewood). It's no longer news that some people from other tribes gripe when they see Igbos excel in any venture. Anyone wey no like, stop watching Igbowood movies and go watch real-life Arewawood where they slaughter people on the streets of Bauchi and Jos like sallah ram. Bulls***. F***ing, trifling, jealous bigots. You'll never catch me on this thread again, not even in a casket. Anyone with a brain should just forget wasting their time here and spend it on something else worthwile. I'm outta here.

Chei, Igbo people don suffer for this life. Now it's a crime to be successful in what you're doing.

There's a tree in Enugu called Nolli, i guess that's where the name came from.

Nollywood _{(or whatever name its called)} movies are a piece of crap and totally meaningless.

im sorry sir/ma but i ll advice you to remove the tribal or ethnic bias and look at the issues constructively and objectively, tribalism has destroyed everything in nigeria,lets kick it out of nollywood

nigerians u na go copy die
do you know why hoollywood is called that name?
because the land was full of holly trees.so is the nigeria nollywood full of nolly trees?
stupied set of people.
i prefer reasonable yoruba films to those love in cup,love is mad,love and crazy,ho my love, i love him,the war
of love films from nollywood

Lagos blinds many people and makes them (residents) highly ignorant.

What is the difference btw 'nollywood' and yoruba movies?

Na true. What's the difference between NOLLYWOOD and YORUBA MOVIES? To me, the two are useless.

I wonder. Most of the people defending Nollywood dont even watch the movies, they're just defending it for pride sake

True Talk

LoL@ Yoruba movies!! Like if they are not editing and producing their movies in Nigeria . Yoruba movies are crap!!!

Na English be this?

Story-wise they are much more enjoyable. Whether you agree, means nothing. Sorry.

Since Hollywood got its name from a tree, I suggest Ndigbo should name their film industry NGWOWOOD or NKWUWOOD. Ngwo is Rafia Tree while Nkwu is Palm Tree. Both are all over Igbo land in large proportions. Igbo Kwenu!

I wonder. Most of the people defending Nollywood dont even watch the movies, they're just defending it for pride sake

And you that is always jumping around like obere ashawo scandalizing Nollywood, don't you have something else to do apart from wasting your time updating your head with crappy movies from nollywood?. Have you finished all the top Hollywood movies on the shelf?. It still doesn't make sense to me how you watch and update yourself with something you detest so much.

Na your mama be obesere ashewo

Did I mention you or why are you stalking me up and down?

Those of us who watch these things have the right to talk about them, not you frauds that just defend movies for tribal sake.

I warn you now, stop bothering me. Asinwin.

Na your mama be obesere ashewo

I said obere ashawo and not obesere ashawo.

you are such a foolish idiot!! Fool, English language is for communication and you understood my point. Who told you i am from London City? Twerp, the number of languages i speak and understand by far out numbered your pubic hair.

Useless Yorubawood champion.

Who told you i care if you watch Nollywood or not. Dumb ass.

The girl is a piece of work. Another example of failed parentage among Nigerians living abroad. She said nobody cares about your opinion as if we care for hers. If only parents living abroad should stop working too much overtime and take some time and train their kids, we wouldn't be having these dimwits showcasing their lack of home training online.

Lmao look at outburst on top simple question. adodi ranu.

once again oga romeo, was that English? 

Ewu!
