Maybe its time some couple of this issues of tribe affiliated problems are addressed...so far as am concerned,every single tribe in this country makes up Nigeria..that some people came to your land to make a living doesnt mean others are bad
why dont some fools who are tribalists call their family members around the globe to come back and develop Nigeria&make it a place where the whites come to make a living.its either you deal with them being in your land or you shut the Bleep UP!!!!

I really do feel his pain but I think nollywood is not ready to address the problem. Maybe they have not being able to come up with solutions. They need to sit down and present their case to the National Assembly. They also no to put naira and kobo to their explanation so that these lawmakers can understand literally what it means.

For now, these film makers are only ranting.

There's no ending to the rivalry between yorubas and Igbos.Funny enough,Igbos still prefer yorubas to the Hausas and the Hausas prefer yorubas to the Igbos. The question is, which ethnic group does the yorubas prefer? Bigotry divides us and shouldn't be tolerated. Just like any movie producer, Kunle invest heavily in movie production and his pained seeing his hard-earned job being sold like agege-bread.This matter needs urgent attention.

I prefer the Ndigbos.. We yab one another before considering a fight... But the Abokis Kill first before thinking of yabing.. If they do at all... But historically, Hausas respect your space but the Ndigbos don't... They even wanna grab it from u... U have to shout out before they adjust ..

Lol.Dude sounded really pissed.
You sweat all the work and someone else's makes all the money. Not fair.
Should he have addressed piracy and leave out the tribe especially given the events of today? Maybe...but then anger and rationality don't go together.

Lol... owning your own studio and producing don't mean you're competitive. Ask the munchkin studios (even the 1br) studio, yet, do a Google Search for them type of studios...Lmao, they will tell you how far... Don't hate the player, HATE THE GAME.

Cursing a tribe because of few bad eggs is the height of foolishnesss and bigotry...
few u say, dude, this guys control the piracy industry, the are the manufacturers, the wholesalers and retailers, guy being competitive doesn't mean killing the competition, its means playing by the rules

I wonder when all these tribal sentiments and hatred will stop. What is 'tribe' other than what it is said to be? That one was born to a certain 'Atinuke' and 'Olaniyi' means same could just have been easily born to an 'Ngozi' and 'Emeka' or 'Ismail' and 'Rukuayat'. So why do we go so low? Knowing the tension in the political and general environment even in the face of seeming calmness, you would think that certain individuals would be more circumspect. Everyone deserves respect, regard and honour... No one reserves the right to arrogate a supposedly superior status to him/her self or whatever 'tribe' u come from simply by accident of birth! When will we learn? No man is an island...we all need each other, can we all just grow up and above this crap!

No one is making excuse for Piracy, just don't curse out a tribe like a Yoruba Oba did. He should take his complaint to the appropriate agency. After all, Nollywood has a Piracy Enforcement Unit; yet, piracy is FRAUD. He should report it the EFCC and co. rather than cursing out a group.

Piracy is a big problem for the Nigerian movie industry and we all agree. However Kunle Afolayan, a celebrated film maker has gone on his social media page to vent his frustration as per movie piracy associating it with the Igbos.

As a role model and a well respected filmmaker I found his tweets quite disconcerting. Was it wise to go about piracy in this manner? Blaming the Igbos? Does it mean that Igbos do not pay to watch his movies in cinema? Does that not depict shallow mindedness and bigotry?


Here are his disturbing tweets and some replies. What do you think? Are there better ways to tackle this issue? Did he cross the line?

We know who d shallow minded and bigoted fellow is though..and its definately not kunle afolayan..

As things are now, it seems the Yorubas are now irritating the Igbos. Can this leads to Igbos mass exit from the Yoruba region?

I have no words for the foolish fools spewing thrash at afolayan

How would u feel spending millions of dollars to make movies and some animals would be somewhere pirating ur work?

Put urself in his shoes.

Though I would have suggested he removed mentioning tribe to avoid tribalism.
