Not a Biafran. But proudly Igbo. Does Buhari have a Nigerian accent ?. Does OBJ have a Nigerian accent?. Maybe you should try to answer these questions. Maybe you will understand what I mean.

Dr. Omalu would speak with an Igbo accent.

There's no such thing as a British accent either. Scottish, Welsh and Irish people all have different accents from English people. And even within those places, there are many different accents. You wouldn't confuse a Scouse accent with a Cockney one even though they are both in England. The British accent just means all the accents that encompass the United Kingdom just like if someone refers to a Nigerian accent they mean all the accents found in Nigeria which includes, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Ijaw, etc.

And the white man said to the Nigerian doctor...

"...Yes, some of them actually said that I'm attacking the American way of life. "How dare you, a foreigner like you from Nigeria? What is Nigeria known for, the eighth most corrupt country in the world? Who are you? Who do you think you are to come to tell us how to live our lives?"

-Bennet Omalu, M.D., M.B.A., MPH, CPE, DABP-AP, CP, FP, NP

I thought Chiwetalu Ejiofor , Nigerian born American actor, would have being a more convincing option.

The movie is for the America. Audience, so it doesn't really matter. Plus the doctor is supposed to be highly educated.

yeah you do not have to be so aggresive man, i got corrected already, and i took the correction, sorry

They should have got a Nigerian to act the part. Chinwetel Ejiofor comes to mind.

With the plethora of Nigerian/English actors all over the place you mean to tell me they couldn't get one of them to play a Nigerian??

we are all carried away by the fact that thd movie deals with Nigeria, but the main subject of the movie is football, i believe this movie is americas way of discrediting the real football (soccer) below the american football. The result presented by this omelu scientist is horrible, because if football can cause that to you, then so can boxing, or rugby etc, but they failed to allow us understand that the main cause is the sudden shock caused by the force from the blow of the football, fist or head-butt respectively. They ve only tried to discredit soccer so that people can start looking at american football as a better option.
My view anyway

Are you sure you did not play the football that causes brain injury?
You are so dumb.

He is not americsn but a british actor with nigerian parents, though i agree he would have been perfect for the role. The film 2012 comes to mind

As if the NFL didn't have enough controversy 10 days from the 2015 season opener between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, Sony Pictures just released the trailer for "Concussion," a movie based on the true story of the doctor who discovered the link between football and head trauma.

On the same day NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is scheduled to appear in court opposite Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Sports Illustrated's Peter King unveiled the two-minute trailer in his weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column, and it doesn't exactly shine a favorable light on the league.

Based on the 2009 GQ article, "Game Brain," the film chronicles the real-life story of Dr. Bennet Omalu (played by Will Smith), the Nigerian-born neuropathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) — a brain disease brought on by repeated blows to the head — while performing an autopsy on deceased Steelers legend and Hall of Fame center Mike Webster in September 2002.

In the film, Omalu's discovery is met with resistance from the NFL, which correctly viewed his science as damaging to the business of football and allegedly attempted to discredit his work. The conflict of an accomplished man who came to America to pursue his dream, only to be disparaged by those who control the country's most beloved sport, appears to be captured brilliantly by Smith.

The trailer begins with Smith's character saying, "I am the wrong person to have discovered this," and ends with him demanding NFL executives "tell the truth" about a disease believed to be the cause of dementia, memory loss and depression resulting in numerous deaths of football players, including the 2012 suicide of newly inducted Hall of Famer Junior Seau, whose autopsy was also conducted by Omalu.

For anyone who read "Game Brain," the portrayal of the NFL as the film's antagonist should come as no surprise, since Omalu pulled no punches when describing the league's response to his July 2005 study for Neurosurgery entitled "Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in a National Football League Player."

"I was naive," the doctor told GQ six years ago. "There are times I wish I never looked at Mike Webster’s brain. It has dragged me into worldly affairs I do not want to be associated with. Human meanness, wickedness, and selfishness. People trying to cover up, to control how information is released. I started this not knowing I was walking into a minefield. That is my only regret."

Really, the only surprising aspect of the trailer is that Goodell is played by Luke Wilson, who is apparently going against type after portraying Joe Bauers, the last beacon of intelligence in the 2006 film "Idiocracy."

As for the conclusions we will draw from a film that also stars Alec Baldwin and Albert Brooks, "Concussion" director Peter Landesman addressed any potential controversy in his Q&A with MMQB.


I have no position on whether or not people should play football or whether they should have their kids play football. To me, this is a story about making adult choices. Once you have the information — and the information has been obscured for a long time, it’s been buried and covered up by people who don’t want to damage the sport — the information is now out there and I hope this movie brings together the information in a way that the general public can metabolize and now make their own decisions. So now that you know that concussions can kill you and playing the sport can kill you, it’s on every parent and it’s on every college player, it’s on every high school player and professional player on whether you are going to let your child play. It’s the same with smoking, drinking and doing drugs. I like to think in some ways that life is an occupational hazard. Something we do in our life is going to kill us; maybe now, maybe fifty years from now. You have to choose what those things are. We love to drink and be merry and be happy, we know it’s not good for us, but we do it. It’s about making adult choices.

Interestingly, Landesman said he held a private screening for Chris Borland, who recently retired from the NFL at age 24 over concerns about the effects of concussions, and the former San Francisco 49ers linebacker was visibly "shaken and shaking" after watching his worst fears play out on the big screen.

The film is scheduled to be released for the rest of us in theaters on Christmas Day.

Wow this is great news for Nigerians and Igbos in particular!

The movie goes a long way to show to the world the ingenuity and hardwork of Nigerians and Igbos wherever they are. The director of IT, Division of IT of my school is Nigerian, Uche by the name, and he calls the shot like a boss. Oyibos love to test his intelligence always but Uche is always 10 steps ahead of them!

What is interesting about that Americal football self? No skillful or aesthetic displays, just heavily built men racing like newly released bulls at the Pamplona bull fight festivals in Spain... I blame the crowds who watch them... Basket ball, Soccer, Gymnastics, I see sumtin to watch.. American football or Rubgy, Zilch!

Ndi igbo, despised in Nigeria, appreciated abroad.

Biafra need not be concrete to be impactful. It has outgrown the ramshackle that is Nigeria.
