Back then when all Nigerian movies had little or no censorship, it was more about witches, wizards and ritualists |

Businessideas: He said Living in Bondage marked the beginning of "Nollywood". The history of Nollywood, just like the history of Hollywood, is not necessarily synonymous with the history of the Nigerian (or American, in the case of Hollywood) film industry. The first Hollywood film was 'in Old California (1912)' but motion pictures began in the 1890s. And Hollywood rose because film makers moved west to escape the patent of Thomas Edison's film company. The term itself (nollywood) is not even two decades old. The public's response to Living in Bondage triggered the mass production of these home videos which essentially became the nollywood industry; dubbed so, because of the evident growth in quantity of production which was then ambitiously compared with Hollywood. Evil passion, glamour boys, glamour girls, goodbye tomorrow(?), etc. These aren't the oldest Nigerian films, but they mark the beginning of an era in the Nigerian film industry - the Nollywood era. Controversies on this issue arise for obvious reasons. We are a sectionalized people, and no group likes to let the other take credit for anything if it is even remotely arguable. 12 Likes 1 Share |

ninodaniel:You just shot yourself in the leg Ode. You said "that you watched" right? Of course. Civilisation got to you Igbos very late. So don't be offended my brother. The Yorubas were and still way ahead of you Igbos. So it's either you suck it in your skull or beef all your life. Your choice. I know you will still quote me.

freshdude99: Before I proceed to explain thing to you , with the hope that you put tribalism aside and put on your thinking and reasoning hat. I am not yoruba, not even close, probably more eastern than you. Here are some dramas that Hubert did in his time Muritala Mohamed (1976) Oree Niwon (1976) Nigeria (1977) Igba t' ode (1977) Orisa N'la (1977) And here are the films he did Aiye (1980) Jaiyesimi (1981) Aropin (1982) Ayanmo (1988) Which earned him recognition from BBC Man of the Theatre - BBC (1983) Here is a link to wikipedia if you wish to know more https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Ogunde As for the very ignorant fellow up there that said people could not go to cinemas to watch Hubert Ogunde's movies, I would let you know that cinemas in lagos , like pen cinemas back in day , as I was told by my grand parents were packed full of people eager to watch. There is no helping you people, you would rather choose tribalism than the truth , even if its glaring... Any other non meaningful quote , i wouldn't reply . 1 Like |

Living in Bondage,”the Igbo language movie directed byChris Obi Rapu,written by Kenneth Nnebue and Okechukwu Ogunjiofor (aka “Paulo”),for Kenneth Nnebue’s NEK Video Links in 1992, has become synonymous with the beginning of Nollywood, but the fact is, Nnebue actually produced 40 home videos in Yorùbá language before making his first Igbo language movie. The first Nigerian home video is“Ekun”in 1984 by thelate Muyideen Alade Aromire, a popular Yoruba actor, filmmaker and founder of Yotomi TV, who studied TV and film production in Cologne, Germany. The video in VHS format was made before Kenneth Nnebue’s first Yorùbá home video“Aje Ni’ya Mi”in 1989. Today, Nollywood, including Kannywood of the booming Hausa genre is attracting movie buffs, film students and film scholars and also investors. 1 Like |

Businessideas:If it pains u let it. Nollywood started around the 90s. What u re depecting is an era before nollywood.when there was mostly theatre acts and cinema release. Nollywood is the period when like the person u quoted people simply brought movies on vhs cassette. Beside nollywood was coined out from bollywood. I doubt during the ogunde era such could have coined out. What u should have said is film industry people started this and that. Like I said free the man u re the one corrupting history. 1 Like |
