Oshigun:


No. All Nigerian Women loving us, including yours, is incidental. The point is we are damn cool, talented and special so everything falls in place because of that. You guys are losers and you know it. This is why a good day for you is a day where you go home feeling you have bettered a Yoruba man you deem to be far above you even if you won't confess this.

@olas24u
Living in Bondage is NOT the first film in English language.
It is an Ibo language film that was only subtitled in English.

It is even funny that a lot of Ibos do NOT realise that the
1st Ibo language film to be subtitled in English was AMADI
and that film was screened in 1975 in Lagos State. I still
have the magazine with the photographs of prominent
Lagos State government officials in attendance! They
keep making misleading comment online and offline
that living in bondage was the beginning of movies in
Nigeria. What a PATHETIC behaviour indeed!


Professor Wole Soyinka in 1969 produced Kongi's Harvest
which is Nigerias acclaimed 1st commercially successful English
language film. It was screened at the cinemas in Lagos.

History has to be returned to schools.

I copied you in my post directly above as well so
kindly read it.

Local audience, All Nigerians (Ijaw, Igbo, Efik, Hausa, Ibibio etc) watched Living in Bondage, at least on average basis, chances are majority of Nigerian homes had Living in bondage VHS cassettes in its stock (I bet your family did as well if you are going to be honest). my point is Living in Bondage set the dynamics of movie production in Nigeria to its golden age, any other film produced before that died with a very narrow audience of mainly just yorubas.

MadamT:
As an elder, I laugh when I hear some younger ones saying Living in Bondage was the first home video.

Nollywood did not start in the 90s.

In 1977, my friends, bothers and sisters went to the National Theatre to see “Bisi Daughter of The River”

The movie was directed by the late Joseph Abiodun Babajide, aka Jab Adu. He was famous for his role as "Bassey Okon" in the popular long running TV series "Village Headmaster" of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

Then, In 1978, we went to see Aiye at the National Theatre. Aiye, a Hubert Ogunde film was directed by Ola Balogun.

Alade Aromire was the first to produce a home video in 1988.

Jimi Odumosu produced Evil Encounter a horror film in 1980.

No doubt, Living in bondage was a hit and contributed hugely to the Nollywood boom.

But, honestly, younger ones should try to learn history or at least, when corrected wth facts, should take them onboard and not just keep arguing blindly. Open yourselves to learning and correction. Doing this doesn’t mean you are weak. It actually makes you the bigger person.

I don't know whether to call it a problem or otherwise but a lot chunk of Yorubas do not know about a lot of Yoruba' achievements and they would even argue with you and tell you that they have never heard of what you are talking about.
Whether illiterate or literate,an Igbo man knows about Innoson motor while the Yoruba guy does not know about Proforce or JAC.
Almost all Igbos know that they have been leading in WAEC in recent times but Yorubas do not know that they have 5 youngest Phd holders and 7 geniuses with 5.0 C perfect scores in the world.
The list goes on.If it were Igbos that have 3 world recognized Laurel giants like Wole Soyinka,Tony Adegbulugbe and Akinwunmi Adeshina,every Igbo will know them but Yorubas even a few educated ones do not know the worth of these Yoruba international champions.

As I speak,Yorubas lead Igbos in technology,ICT and innovation but how many Yorubas know this?

All Igbo leaders and followers have these village square things they do almost every weekend where they spread these news whether fake or genuine They also have Biafra papers where all sorts of fake and genuine reports are spread amongst the folks.
It all boils down to the fact that Igbos are really putting in all effort to catch up with the Yorubas while the Yorubas are somewhat complacent.

I think there should be a forum where the Youths and Elders interact in order for us to know where we were,are and going as per lapses and achievements.

Yorubas have done well and still doing well but they should not rest on their oars for a greater Yoruba nation,Nigeria and Africa at large.

Anambralstson:




You only know your own, now is computer age era of Lagos/Ibadan media propaganda is over


Things Fall Apart movie (1971) is a cinematic adaptation of Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel by the same name. The film also combines elements from Achebe's second novel, No Longer at Ease (1960). The movie was jointly produced by Nigerian, German, and American firms. Hans Jurgen Pohland directed the film, which stars Elizabeth of Toro, Orlando Martins, and Johnny Sekka.

The first film to be shot entirely in Nigeria, Things Fall Apart allows audiences to witness many local customs and traditions. For instance, it portrays the architecture, geography, religious rituals, music, and cuisine of the Igbo village. Further, the film captures many of the native workers' activities, such as dancing, animal trapping, and the sharpening of tools and weapons. In these ways, the film expands on Achebe's original mission of bringing Nigeria into the world's attention.

Both film and novel thematize the disintegration of the community, showing how the villagers are divided by the white missionaries. Another theme in both the film and novel is the conflict between tradition and change. Many villagers, including Okonwko, want to preserve native traditions, but find that their heritage and culture are being eroded with the expanse of missions.

Another important similarity between fiction and film is the use of sophisticated language. In Achebe's original text, the Igbo characters speak in very elevated prose. This is intentional-- Achebe wanted to challenge the popular notion that African language was crude and inarticulate. For instance, in one scene, Okoye's speech imitates proverbs. In the film, as well, characters speak eloquently, challenging stereotypes against tribal culture.

Mumu Igbo pascal Dozie brought MTN in to Nigeria

HIS ROLE IN MTN Nigeria
When he was approached by MTN, a South African telecommunications firm, to raise 40% of the funds needed to set up a subsidiary in Nigeria, Dozie turned to friends and expatriates in the United Kingdom.

However, they turned him down saying if the Nigerian government could not make NITEL work, no one could successfully sustain a telecommunications business in the country.

He was able to raise enough for a 20% stake in the company and MTN made up the difference through debt funding.

The venture is successful till date, becoming Nigeria’s largest telecommunications company.

Bruv this is what they do. Deny what is real and proven to be using vague and entirely fictitious example to try and support their empty chest-beating and nonsense they plucked out of their azzes.

Yoruba "lazy" but they can't provide an Igbo name in music greater or more naturally talented and dominant universally than Davido and Wizkid. Their women ain't even close to Niniola let alone Tiwa Savage or Yemi Alade. We no sabi business yet no Igbo name richer or more successful than Adenuga or Otedola.

Politically, they don't even have one Fayemi in their rank talk less of all the way up to Tinubu, Akande et al. They are physically superior yet Anthony Joshua, Yoruba boy, is on top of the pile of world heavyweight boxing and will knock out any Igboman living or dead. How do these people even live with themselves coming here daily with these claims reality makes a mockery of? Please , in what area can they use real example to support their touted superiority over Yorubas? We are waiting.
