And palavar happens to be the name of the first film..little wonder why there exist so much PALAVER in the industry....

Since then, Nigeria has not known 10 years of peace without political palaver.
May God end this vicious circle of political conflicts in 2015.

I thought the Igbos foolishly claim to be the pioneer of film making in Nigeria. I guess Geoffrey Barkas is an heebo man.

People like you belong to the gutters. Not nairaland. Your parents must be ashamed of you. Grow up. Change that stupid moniker.

Useless fool,Igbos are far superior than you. Did they called their drama Nollywood? Ewu Asaba.

iboTOTOdeySMELL:
Why is it that all these useless Heebo films are always about rituals and blood money?

Kanyo o. Kanoyo
pete edochie
charles okafor etc

The Igbos are too desperate and very wicked. They love money more than their life. An Heebo man can sacrifice his own mother for money rituals
