This is getting irritating. Dont we Nigerians read? We know we cannot compete on the average movie categories, so we opt for the international category. Unfortunately, the international category has strong rules of the language of communication not being majorly in English. When the movies eventually get rejected, we now claim racism. Why are African themed movies like "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" not going for international feature film category? Didn't African-themed "Last King of Scotland" win an oscar for best actor in the past? 78 Likes 4 Shares |

I think the criterion is obviously fair enough. No English-speaking movie deserves this award, no need going haywire over this. 81 Likes 4 Shares |

I think the International Community is trying to pass a message, they want to see us more through our own culture and LANGUAGE. Producers shouldn't be scared to act in our own language,they should add SUBTITLES. We are Africans not Europeans. Its even badt that in most homes now, the KIDS don't speak their mother tongue,imagine Kids born and bred in West or East that can't speak a word of Yoruba/Ibo. MISEDUCATION 137 Likes 5 Shares |

I hope are our modern day Yoruba movie producers and directors are observing. Having consecutive English sentences and conversations in a supposedly Yoruba film is a no-no! Yoruba movie producers and directors must choose an hustle - English or Yoruba films. Trying to mix both and then adding other non-Yoruba languages in a Yoruba film is quite ridiculous if not stupid, to say the least. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
