nollywood english section is not owned by igbos but by all nigerians, igbos only dominate. The only section they own is the igbo section dat produces only 1% of nollywood movies according to the source i quoted.

the english section contains yoruba, hausa, igbo, other tribes and ghanain actors but dominated by the igbos. Can such be said of the yoruba and hausa arms? TV soaps like super story, dear mama, everyday people, disclosure, fuji house of commotion, papa ajasco etc all done in english language contains actors from all tribes and the shows are majorly owned by yorubas.

what happened to olu jacobs, sola fosudo, joke silver, femi brainard, yemi blaq, funke akindele, van vicker, majid, yvonne nelson, ini edo, segun arinze, nadia buhari etc who all act in the english section of nollywood? Did they all become igbo overnight? Most of them arent even nigerians.

igbos dont own nollywood. Shikena

Ibibio is a Nigerian Language spoken by the South Eastern people of Akwa Ibom & Cross River.

blink182: the itsekiris might have come from yoruba but they are not yoruba, if you hear an itsekiri talking they sound nothing like yoruba. Itsekiris are not yoruba.

tintingz: The rate of comments so far on easier language in Nigeria

• Hausa - 75%

• Yoruba - 65%

• Igbo - 39%

You guys can add yours...

» This are the three populated and most recognized language in Nigeria. Hausa is leading to be the easiest language next to yoruba then igbo.

tintingz: My question is why do igbos use english in their movies why not in igbo language??

TribalEAST: all an igbo man cares about is money at the expense of his language. When foreigners and nigerians watch those movies, they call them nigerian movies. Can such be said when they watch yoruba an hausa movies? Why do you think the other tribes on this thread voted for hausa and yoruba? Cos they promote their language in their movies 100%.

Keep making money/ego while your language goes into extinction cos i've seen countless threads on nairaland talking about igbo language going extinct.

HAH: The only language I saw corpers picked so easily during service year is hausa, hence I think it is the easiest

squaddy:

And all you care about is sleeping with people's wives,sharing the same d.I.c.k/pu.uss.y with your mother/father,voodoo and waiting at the bus-stop to TUALE and BABA AGBA for the next well to do easterner that passes by so he can drop you some few bread crumbs...if the language no extinct, come extinct am...phucking westerner

philfearon:
Go and sit down....

philfearon: Like play like play,the thread don dey go tribal!!!!!

TribalEAST: we read newspapers and watch cable TV everyday, how come its only flavor and other yoruba indigenous singers we see? Where are the other igbo musicians? Who are they? Do they sell albums? Are they sleeping? Why cant they succeed in lagos? (succeeding in lagos is succeeding africa). Are they ghosts? Why arent they recognised? Maybe cos they are palm wine joint singers.

Dont mention oldschool igbo musicians cos they've lost relevance unlike the yoruba musicians i mentioned who are still seasoned musicians.

You guys better hold on to flavor and promote him.

Preboy: my eyes must be deceiving me. Yoruba easiest? Hausa romantic? Igbo fun?.... its either u guys are just playing dumb or just feeling ignorant.... Hausa sounds like a language from Pluto, Yoruba sounds scary although I love its use in music



bottom line; Igbo is a very fast language dat's y you might find it as scary..... if spoken slowly, then u will find it easier dan abc

BibiBasy: ibibio is not spoken by cross riverians pls

IYA NGBALI: it was meant to be right from the beginning

paranorman: The easiest in nigeria is either hausa or yoruba.. Talkin from experience mehn..
Hausa sounds romantic, its a one way language..
Why i'd choose yoruba over hausa is because of this reasons:
the yoruba race is the most learned in Nigeria, the language has also evolved over the years.. Its unique in the way it flows with rhymes and beat.. That why musicians sings better in yoruba.. Also, i think all most all hymns originally written in english sang in churches translated to yoruba, when you sing in yoruba still possess the same number of syllable in each line of the song and same rhyme... I am not sayin other languages dont have translations but preservin the number of syllables in each line of the hymn and rhymes of the same song/hymn in english is not always as unique as in yoruba...

The yoruba also borrows words from english language... Just like bible-bibeli; temple-tempili..
In years to come, yoruba generations would speak a language that would have so much integrated into english..

I like Hausa, that language's so romantic and easy too..

philfearon:
It wasnt supposed to.....The question is very simple....

Odenigbo Aroli:

This is a big fat lie from the pit of hell. Imo Igbo is the most complicated Igbo! I will say this,the only Igboman who speaks his core dialect and everybody understands is an Anambrarian. I can't understant an Owerri man,Mbaise and even the otuocha people. Igbo movies are acted in Anambra Igbo so everybody can understand. Stop spreading falsehood!
