TribalEAST: hey kid, reason well. ngwa, keep deceiving urself. Even Yoruba movie makers understand Igbo owns nollywood and talk about it. The other day, they were a cussing igbos of marginalizing them. Are olu Jacobs and omotola not in the English section again? That we accepted to employ ur ppl doesn't mean the status quo changed in anyway. So, what about the Igbo soaps of Clinic matters, Masquarade, and so many others on TV? . My dear, we have mainstream nollywood |

5.00GP: Igbo culture is the only visible culture in exported nollywood. Ranging from dressing, food, vernacular, festivals to every other thing. Olu Jacobs acts igwe, not alafin. if omotola were to bear a local name, its most likely Amaka. Its like u don't know how the coverage of English nollywood worldwide. Its no 1 in Africa to start with. 2 Likes |

«—M®×L¹MPºPº ™: And they want to use ogbomosho to rate whether igbos produce their movies. Presently, they have started mass production of Igbo movies again. And they are a lot richer |

5.00GP: I think ur case is now irreparable since u can afford to say that yorubas are the cream of English nollywood. Goodluck in ur fantasies . Acting is not ownership btw. if olu Jacob is acting, does his role go beyond collecting his wages for the igwe he played? does that mean he owns anything 1 Like |

TribalEAST: i told you to mention your igbo seasoned musicians that sing purely in igbo then compare them with these guys: yinka ayefele, lagbaja, pasuma, kwam 1, tope alabi, osupa etc. u will easily pick their names cos they are from ur: village., ppl in SE don't know them.

musa ajebor: As a kaaba boy dat was brought up in the north, I will like to reiterate the point dat hausa is the easiest to understand,pick, and speak amongst all nigerian languages. If u have idea of key hausa nouns u can easily deduce the rest of what the speaker is sayingaNd Yoruba Ile=house, Onile=Owner of house |

Am an igbo guy but to say the truth hausa is the easiest followed by yoruba, I ve not lived in hausa land but can speak hausa because I have hausa friends and they taught me. You can't learn igbo like that. |
Re: Which Is The Easiest Nigerian Language To Learn? by fran6uc(m): 1:45pm On Jan 05, 2014 |
4 me as an ibo boy i think its hausa den yoruba b4 igbo. Hausa is a straight 4ward language & also if u stay wit dem u'l learn it faster cos dey dont communicate wit anoda language ova dia. Den yoruba is next cos dey also ve straight 4ward language bt its acuracy is beta acquired (by birth) dan by learning it. Bt i think d language dozn't seem 2 suit doz living outside dia boundary as against hausa. Igbo! I can confidently tel u dat irrespective of hw long u stay in igbo land as an adult u seldom b a pro in it or beta dan one immersed in it by birth or gets 2 acquire it 4rm childhood (children assimilate faster). Secondly dia's no ibo man who is fluent in as many as 3-4 different dialects because igbo has vast dialects dat are individually distinctive. I speak igbo izugbe (central igbo) & my dialect (smwhere in abia) fluently bt i'd look totally foreign 2 an abakaliki or nsuka man. I'm also grabbing owerri too. Dos of u tribalising dis thread dou uninformed should knw dat yoruba is rampant in music cos lagos is wia most productions are made which makes it easier 4 yorubas witout any knowledge of anoda language 2 fall in2 line. Pple 4rm oda languages are clustered in Lagos 2 do music thereby not being able 2 help learning d yoruba. It might interest u 2 knw dat Nigerian soldiers grind hausa well cos of there base, so locatn is a factor of rampancy. Dont say d ibos are going extinct cos u'r simply geographicaly immobile abi u no dey c phyno (capital rec) & flavour? I bet u olamide cannot pull a crowd of 2 hundred in ebonyi cos dey dnt undastnd a tin he says. If u go eastern u 2 wil like dia hits ova dia. (bongo, arabanko et al) Also pls d igbos dont own nollywood bt dey tend 2 exist around a venture dat pays. PERIOD! Its nt peculiar 2 nollowood bt also in many endeavours. Doz guy just let dia accounts speak 4 dem. 4 Likes |

ketoprofen:stop beign funny. Nobody cares about SE. If you cant conquer lagos then you cant conquer nigeria and africa. Check out all the igbo musicians doing well, they are all in lagos singing in yoruba e.g don jazzy, dr sid, chidinma, dprince, dj zeez, faze etc. Why cant they stay in alaigbo and sing in igbo? Cos they know the language is not compatible with music to a large extent like yoruba dats why terry g, timaya, iyanya etc all adopt it. 1 Like |
