2sexycom:who asked what u like? Who asked your tribe? U mentioned ur tribe to sound credible cos u know yoruba films end in lagos ibadan expressway. Whether u re Igbo or yoruba doesnt remove the fact that yoruba movies are trash and that Nollywood is an Igbo industry 1 Like |

Raydos: well said. we seriously need to domesticate a lot, that is one of the reasons we have failed especially in science. how do we expect someone to learn subjects mathematics, physics, chemistry In a foreign language that is not a "first language" like English? it can't happen |

mercyville: Igbos created and pioneered the industry and called it Nollywood while Hausa/Kanuri created theirs and called it Kanny wood. Yorubas should concentrate in growing their own Yorubawood movie industry. 4 Likes |

I saw the poster of themost stylish and i can say we r barking at the wrong dog. I think she is speaking of new nollywood as oppose to old or asaba nollywood. The irony of this thingy is that tge yorubbas and edos dominate this new nollywood. Here in asaba they were also asking if they r not also stylish and why no one from asaba nolkywood was included!! So my question is...can some1 publicly criticise themselves? kelv09: |

winniz:You dont want me to quote you with facts when you keep bouncing my quotes off cause you are a mod or close to a mod....lol. You celebrated 20 years of Igbowood but Nollywood was coined by a foreigner in 2002 making it 14 years of Nollywood YOU ARE A COWARD for bouncing off my facts... |

winniz:Is this true or not? The origin of the term "Nollywood" remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in The New York Times , where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema . [2][3] The term continue to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later believed to be a portmanteau of the words "Nigeria" and " Hollywood ", the American major film hub. [4][5][6][7] Definition of which films are considered Nollywood has always been a subject of debate. Alex Eyengho defined Nollywood as "the totality of activities taking place in the Nigerian film industry, be it in English, Yoruba , Hausa, Igbo, Itsekiri , Edo, Efik, Ijaw , Urhobo or any other of the over 300 Nigerian languages ". He further stated that "the historical trajectory of Nollywood started since the pre and post independent Nigeria, with the theatrical (stage) and cinematic (celluloid )) efforts of the likes of Chief Hubert Ogunde , Chief Amata, Baba Sala , Ade Love , Eddie Ugboma and a few others". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nollywood |

[s][/s]mercyville: Loser, you made no single point continue switching monikers, attache by force Yorubas has no single contribution to Nollywoods creation or its growth. Living in Bondage kick started today's Nollywood. Even Ramsey Nouah not long ago said so as well. It's been 23 years since living in Bondage kick started Nollywood and the 1992 game changer is set for a massive reboot. 2 Likes |

winniz:This is the person MATT STEINGLASS that gave Nigerian Film Industry,NOLLYWOOD in 2002. So it means Nollywood is 14 years,IGBOWOOD or BIAFRAWOOD was 20 years when you celebrated.NOLLYWOOD was pioneered by Hubert Ogunde,Eddy Ugboma and co. Do you even know the meaning of pioneer?...lol You must be an old man who seems to have lost touch with civility.Some people can be blindly stubborn. They would keep repeating the same thing over and over again. READ where we all got NOLLYWOOD that had sparked off a lot of debates: Matt Steinglass Mon, 30 Sep 2002 15:27:55 -0700 Title: Nollywood.... the NY Times tells only part of the story... Having written one of those NY Times stories, I'd like to respond. First, to coin the term "Nollywood" (which I did not use; that was the other story) does not imply that the production and distribution system in Nigeria is the same as that of Hollywood; Bollywood, after all, also has a different production and distribution system from Hollywood, and in any case the Hollywood system is itself in a state of flux, and scarcely resembles the classic studio system of the '40s. But it is legitimate to use the shorthand term; one does these things in order to make the subject accessible or appealing to the American reader. That said, one of the difficulties in writing about the Nigerian scene was the incredible fluidity of the production and distribution system, which would make it very difficult to grasp in a year of research, let alone a month or 2 weeks, and even harder to describe in 1200 words. https://www.mail-archive.com/african-cinema-conference@xc.org/msg00688.html |

[s][/s]mercyville: Desperate Yoruba thief, you shameless losers are so desperate to abandon your dead Yorubawood movie industry you lots couldn't grow for decades to come and claim Nollywood you lots ain't part of! It's been 23 years since living in Bondage kick started Nollywood and the 1992 game changer is set for a massive reboot. "Speaking in the project Ramsey says there is no way you will mention Nollywood without talking about living in Bondage. It was a kick starter in the industry I work in today" 1 Like |

I unapologetically see them as illiterates. Why don't they ever act English language films? It's very obvious na. She can speak English does not mean she does it proficiently. |
