Lol , U said kemi Adetiba would have done it better, but yet non of her movies are acquired by Neflix or Neflix original, do you know what it takes to be noticed by Neflix and Neflix paid millions of dollars to acquire exclusive worldwide rights to lion heart, Neflix reviewed the movie and found it worthy
You have been viewing this whole thing via tribal lens. To you, everyone criticizing it are doing so because they aren't Igbo or because they hate igbos, whereas igbos are also criticizing it.

Netflix has lots of shitty movies to the point that when I see a movie is owned by Netflix, I just immediately skip it because it's usually crap. You keep hammering on millions of dollars. Do you know what that is?

Please, stop viewing things based on tribalism or else you will never progress.

Shut the fukk u igbos even though u claim u are the most educated in Nigeria, u fall my hand sometimes.

Do u know the walking dead is shown on fox TV .but is own by AMC, on AMC it will show AMC original because they develop it by themselves that doesn't mean AMC is better that fox TV, so a movie that shows Netflix original,does it mean its better than Disney or warner bros,I'm sure Netflix is better Disney that owns the avengers, but u can watch this same avengers on Netflix, what does that say to u?if a movie is good its good not celebrating mediocre because it is Netflix original,who Netflix original epp,are they not a mostly movie streaming service,

This was the reason y Genevieve ran to Netflix, so that dumb idiot like u can be feeling fly on top nothing.

I say it again search for Nigerian movies on Netflix and the most watched most rated one are made by yoruba.

At least yoruba are producing high quality movie,changing the landscape from crap u guys made.

Whenever a Yoruba produced movie gets out expect to see cinema jam packed raking in millions of naira,I heard wedding party one Alone made 3 billion naira total including cinema and DVD sells and movie streaming online, which Igbo has come close to that record.

Cinema is controlled by Yoruba in Nigeria, I didn't even hear anything about lion heart on social media or on news,how much has she made from cinema, I'm sure u can't say,rubbish.
who the fucck is this guy?

Cinema is controlled by Yorubas.? You must be high out of your goddamn mind.
Ben Murray Bruce started the modern cinema culture in Nigeria and since then many people from every where has dived in.
Yoruba own nothing.

The vast majority of what is internationally known as Nollywood today is igbo centric in nature.
The most internationally recognised actors, the biggest producers.
Even foreigners still believe igwe is the name for any Nigerian king.

I don't like to unnecessarily claim things, but sorry, igbos created Nollywood.
It has our imprint.
Whatever the likes of kunle afolyan is doing today is a fruit of the igbo nollywood.
He is leveraging on the markets igbos have long created with the movie industry.

The authentic Nollywood is igbo. Anything else is a counterfeit.

Nigerians will overhype this movie Sotey, when I watch it, it will be crap. Thats how they did to wakanda... Nonsense

Bros, the movie is crap. Overhyped piece of poo. Fantastic Cast though, Onyeka, Pete Edochie and Osoufia never disappoints at all. Like someone up there said, Peter Okoye's part was totally un-necessary. And the part where Osuofia was wandering about in someone else's house not minding his business was un-real. Those boys could have killed him for stopping their business.
Me I don't know what concerns Genevieve with Directing.

Hype , hype and more hype.

I enjoyed the humour in the movie.

The culture , the food and dressing was on point.

The story at a point was dragging on and on..but It wasn't predictable a bit.

PS Peter Okoye should stick to his day job, Phyno was just okay.
Onyeka was brilliant. Same as Nkem Owoh, Pete , Genevieve and the Hausa man, Sani.

At least the movie was hyped by ppl like u and I and it became the highest grossing movie in Nigeria and won many award.

I'm they didn't hype it by themselves running to us and CNN or internet to hype.

The movie was hyped by itself not some one who is running around shouting Netflix first ..

That is why the first film to break into a major American film house is igbo centric in nature.

The igbo language was spoken with careless abandon and yet it still made impact.

You just can't take away originality. When people see it, they know.

And this is based on your long experience in film making, abi?

Young Nigerians! Don’t be like your forebears. Celebrate yourselves. Don’t pull each other down. As the First Nigerian movie bought by Netflix, celebrate the achievement as a Nigerian achievement. Whether Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw...etc. Leave tribalism alone. Nigeria is rich because of our diversity. I feel sad when I see young people making the same mistakes of yesterday. Do you wonder why the country is in this quagmire when we spend our strength fighting each other? In a twist of Hubert Ogunde’s quote, “Nigerians, ronu!”

Onyeka out did herself. That woman is a Legend abeg. Pete Edochie too and Nkem Owoh, Genevieve 5/10. 3 actresses who would have done justice to the Adaeze character, Nse Ekpe, Toni Tones and Mercy Johnson.
The Hausa/Igbo romance was what cracked me up. I won't be surprised one bit if it was Atiku who dropped money for this movie as all na calculation now since Election dey come.

I won't lie u guys contributed immensely to d industry, u see I use the word "immensely"that's how much I respect u guys,but that's where d respect end

I want to ask u a question and I want u to answer me honestly

Why do u think for over 20 years,suddenly Genevieve wanted to become a director.
SomeoSomeone who doestntdoesn't have an inch of experience.
What do u think prompted her to do so? Your guess is as good as mine.

Look at comment of neutral Igbo on this thread and see their review of d movie .

While I'm talking about directors who do u think control d directing in music industry in Nigeria.

Hint look at the names of top music video director in d music videos,Clarence peters is Yoruba before u claim him.
Look at burns boy wizkid davido nasty c and c d names there.

Netflix buying the film doesn't mean shit. it just shows that the marketing department for the movie did a great job by selling to Netflix. After all, there are worse movies than this on that same Netflix.

My guy the thing tire person.

One even said it had no content. Check well now it is coming from a person who's never created anything. People should learn to criticise constructively. If you say something is not done well, give an example of how it is suppose to be done so the person can learn.

What we just see here is people creating their own expectations and judging a movie by what they expect it should be and not what it actually is. They should learn to watch movies with an open mind.

It's her first movie, gradually she will take on more complicated plots.

Even d first movie to make money for siverbird galleria owned by Ben Murray Bruce was irapada a complete yoruba movie,it made 5 million naira the highest grossing movie of the time,why didn't any Igbo film make profit for him rubbish.

Irapada opened Nigeria cinema up and that's we started getting international recognition.

Dominate what?

I don't have time to read through all the nonsense you wrote.

Is it in the number of recognised actors, films or what?

You dominate for 2-3 years and yet you can't even produce a film worthy of Netflix or any major film company.
Something that has become a norm in India.

You agree that igbos created nollywood,so what is all these stories all about, you hateful being?

Every major milestone in Nigeria in the movie industry was set by igbos, so what exactly are you on about?


The best Yoruba effort - the wedding party, casted a number of 3rd rate foreign white actors to get some international publicity.
It grossed the highest revenue in Nigeria and that was it.
It set no real international mile stone.
It was just a money guzzling money that made impact at home.

Genevieve came in did her thing quietly, with an indigenous actors and language, and set a mile stone.
Can't you see the difference between originality and fake,?
Netflix can see it, why can't you?

There are cinemas all over Nigeria, a number of whom are owned by igbos.
stop claiming nonsense.
