I'm not trying to be divisive, but from observation and research it's clearly evident that Yorubas are at the fore front in Nollywood as far as the current Nigerian movie market is concerned.

Nollywood movie production has grown to the level where talented actors, skilled directors, seasoned producers and gifted writers are making movies produced for cinema viewing and these movies usually cost a lot of money to produce and consequenty gross in millions of dollars after their release.

It's sad to note that whereas the bulk of Yoruba directors and actors are making and being featured in these modern high budget movies, the bulk of Igbo directors and Actors are still focusing their attention on low-budget, rural focused village movies that lack financial value.

Why this is the case is quite shocking to me , giving that alot of the veteran Nollywood actors and directors are Igbo.

Like I've said already, this isn't an opinion but a fact and I'll prove my assertion with this thread.

I'm going to be carry out this case study by examining the case, directors and writers of the highest grossing movies in Nollywood History which not surprisingly are within the last 5 years.

I'll be highlighting the Yoruba actors and directors for emphasis purposes.

Even the music industry

Beware Nigerians. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west, some are not Nigerian. They have more than twenty monikers, they would create tribal related topics and make tribal comments with different monikers to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.
They dominate this platform. They are evil and restless until their aim is achieved.

Ur level of tribal fanaticism is too high... So only those 3movies made u believe your Yoruba has taken over Nollywood...whichever way, Yoruba is still Nigeria and Ghana can't claim that

I'm not tribalistic, just stating an observation with facts.

I'm listing the highest grossing Nigerian movies, and I'm not done yet.

If mainly Yorubas are featured in the highest grossing movies in nollywood and also making the bulk of directors, producers and writers of those movies, then it strongly imply that they have taken mainstage in Nollywood.

Bros, stop this rubbish you are doing now. SoYoruba shouldn't appear in Nollywood film again. There a lot of non-Yoruba acting and directing in Yoruba film and we aren't coming here to cry. Igbos and South-South took over Nollywood and even Ghallywood and we aren't complaining. We even watch it. now Yoruba are coming up and you have started hating. You don't need this bro. Perhaps as they say you are paid to cause division among the south

My brother God go punish you if you don't tell us what you intend to achieve with this information.

See this hegoat, which Nollywood?The one in ur backyard abi which one?Yorubas that can't even handle their own movie industry (afonjawood)is talking about Nollywood,abeg shut up and sitdown.Mumu

Cholls:

Education is my intention.

Many ignorant, confused people with comprehension problems quoting me to rain insults on me.

You guys are the real tribalists if an ordinary thread like this is making you upset.

I said Yorubas are currently at the fore front of Nollywood as far as high budget blockbuster movies are concerned and I gave proof. If you can't stand the truth then commit suicide. Facts are facts and there is nothing you whiny dolts can do about it.

Keep quiet you tribal bigot. Go to the Cinemas and check the most watched, highly rated Nigerian movies. Most of them are written, directed and produced by mainly Yorubas and Yorubas make majority of the cast.

Nollywood has gone past village love and family feud nonsense that comprise most of the typical home videos that majority of Igbo actors and producers tend to focus on.

The so called Afonjawood is shipping their actors and actresses to Blockbuster movies while talented Igbo actors and actresses are wasting time acting nonsense that doesn't get any sort of reputable critical acclaim.

malcom1X:
9jarocks and Netnaija are all igbos.






If you've ever downloaded from these site , then you don't need to attack igbos on these thread.

You seem to have a serious comprehension problem. I'm talking about high budget, blockbuster Nollywood movies. Go to the top 10 highest grossing Nollywood movies and you'll see that Yorubas dominate those movies.

I'm also saying that the igbos are dominating the piracy business by giving these movies out for download. 9jarocks and Netnaija same thing.
