[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]bub lordyugo:I witnessed both eras and I am more suitable to guide and correct you.Your definition of Nollywood as the commercialization of Nigerian films is patently wrong and even if I agree with you for the purpose of this argument,then you are still wrong because I remember watching these older films at the national theatre,Iganmu and those films are commercialized because these films are advertised on local TV and radio stations and Nigerians pay to buy their tickets and the queue is usually long and they are shown over a period of time making room for the artists to make even more money. 4 Likes |

Businessideas: Exactly! Baba sala, jaguar, clarus and gringory, etc. Their era precedes that of living in bondage. I guess most people have forgotten about Herbert ogunde. Back then, it was more of cinema... There was Olympia cinema in the then, Bendel state. 5 Likes |

Businessideas: We know that Hubert Ogunde and co started movies in Nigeria but their films could only be watched at Cinema houses. Nigerian movies weren't popular then, only some Yorubas and foreigners in the movie industry knew about them. Not much was known about their films by other tribes of Nigeria. the movie - living him bondage and venture of Ibos into the movie industry in Nigeria gave it a name and international recognition. There's no doubt that Yorubas laid the foundation but the name Nollywood was non existent and you can't watch thier films at home i.e home video. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Businessideas: Let me tell you how the name Nollywood came about. Due to the rising popularity of home videos produced in Nigeria, some white men decided to visit Nigeria to see how they were able to become third largest film industry in the world within a short while. To cut story short, they were disappointed by the types of movie equipment they saw, they were expecting the types seen in Hollywood or something close to that and they said oh ”Not Hollywood". From then they named Nigerian movies Nollywood... Nollywood means not Hollywood! If you disagree with me ask Olu Jacobs. 1 Like |

Businessideas: When was the word nollywood coined? Those ancient movies you mentioned weren't nollywood movies. Those were just Nigerian movies and not nollywood. Go check the history of nollywood and find out why and when it came into existence. Stop mentioning fadeyi oloro and co. Even today's Yoruba movies aren't really called nollywood. Argue that! 5 Likes |

Businessideas:You see the problem with Yoruba people in Nigeria. You keep mentioning Yoruba names and dramas as if to say life begins and ends in Lagos. Just as u guys were doing ur bits over there, the igbos were doing theirs too in eastern Nigeria and behold the igbos got the breakthrough first.... Let me even shock u the more, if bestsellers like "things fall apart" could come from the east as far back as then, what's made u think that there weren't other pioneers in other genres in eastern Nigeria. Abi is pa Hubert ogunde the first to act a play in the whole of Nigeria? Yoruba people and tribalism =5&6 6 Likes 1 Share |

freshdude99: I wonder how many Nigerians have vhs tapes, video CDs or DVD discs of those baba sala, Herbert ogunde dramas he claim were commercial movies and beginning of nollywood? Nollywood is not the same words as the pre-1990 Nigerian movie industry. They are close but not really the same. 1 Like |

Mentcee: Infact, all that the very intelligent fellow you quoted said , I never watched those movies, I was taught in fine art classes as a young secondary school student. So, I don't really blame you for not knowing , nor the ignorance; I blame our failed education system and the elderly people that should have taught you more, but instead inculcated tribalism into you. 1 Like 1 Share |

luvinhubby:So to you now, Nollywood means home video. . You be professional fool i swear. Ayelala is on your case. Ode oshi! Read this below. 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" 5 Likes |

You wanna quote me shey. Oya now. Quote me make Ayelala featuring Amadioha fall on you. This movie in question was produced 1991. Nollywood is far older than that. Use your brain. It's not a mere design God just put inside your skull. It is meant to be used. So to you and your other foolish kinsmen, VHS started Nollywood. Mumuness of the highest order. 3 Likes |
