kingingkinging:hubert ogunde and ola balogun made movies in the 60s but were frustrated with the cost of movie production, nigeria movie industry didn't come to limelight until igbos introduced themselves into it. The "mean-business" mentality in nigeria movie industry today is an initiative of igbos, the 1st nigerian movie to attain international renown is osuofia in London which was purely an "englo-igbo" movie |

Chop the audience by any means abi? We Igbos and ALL Nigerians need to step up our filmmaking game. Period. |

lynx200: I didn't want to respond to some of the immature posts going by the background check I did on most of the posters but I have been forced to comment. I put up a topic that could help bring attention to an illegality happening in a part of the country and all most of you can do is engage in ethnic bashing? No wonder nothing gets solved in this country. What a shame! Did any of you even read the article? There are issues in the film industry nationwide and I decided to bring out one and yet you all abandon the issue and chase fluff. In a time when most of the world is engaging in collaborations across different divides you are all being ethnic jingoists. I fear for the future of this country. That's why I am planning to shoot all my movies in the South West or South South. I schooled @UNEC and because of such nonsense at NAIKO HOTELS (The AGN HQ) or MACDAVOS, Enugu I was forced as a student to register with the tidy sum of N10,000 with the AGN headed by the late Pete Eneh and Steve Ajebo (that guy was nasty, same as all them actors always pretending... all they did was drink and smoke all day) and I never even got a role despite the fact that I spoke better English (was a Law student) than them all, intepreted the cameo roles satisfactorily and had previous stage and TV experience (it was worse considering the farce of an audition Charles Inojie orchestrated)... it was just a cabal thing, so I was later made to understand. If you tried to act or even shoot on the streets without being a member of their redundant posses, you are harassed and even assaulted by their militant wing aptly tagged "TASKFORCE". I just gave up went back to school. I now act as a Police Officer on Tinsel, and I am concluding plans to begin the shoot of my new movie despite the fact that I am no longer a member of the AGN or DGN. If I have to shoot in the East, I have a remedy, allow the TASKFORCE mess up and then simply sue the AGN and make three times more. AGN is just an idiotic organisation that has no idea what it was meant to do ab initio and in the East, they are just as clueless as they come. Check it... most mediocre Nollywood films are shot in the East and that is where you will find talentless, fading and dying actors who keep getting roles; I stand to be corrected. Oh well... 7 Likes |

What I hate most about lies is that when they go too long unchallenged, they tend to have similitude of the truth and people will have no choice but to accept it as the truth whereas it is nothing but a lie. How did you come about the highlighted submission? |

kingingkinging: He's lifting all his points from Wikipedia of all places, which everyone knows can be so off point and even plain wrong... after all anyone, without check, could edit entries. Besides Wikipedia actually states, "One of the first Nigerian movies to reach international renown was the 2003 release Osuofia In London"... Wiki NEVER claims it was the FIRST. |

That being said, even though the OP had good intentions for the thread, your headline would only degenerate the issue into an ethnic mud pit. There are ways to present an issue. IF YOU WANT A HEALTHY DISCUSSION/DEBATE, WORD YOUR TOPIC IN A WAY THAT WOULD ATTRACT A RESPONSIBLE AUDIENCE... CHIKENA 1 Like |
