Facing camera is not a joke. One day, that Asabawood will create blockbuster. Every little opportunity, you want to bring tribalism. Tufikwa.

There is no need to talk them down like that. If they give you script, you won’t do anything. They have they target audience and they are delivering contents they like.



They are people that don’t even watch anything Nollywood.

AMVCA is not popular. It more of a Lagos social media personalities' award

Unfortunately, none of those in the so called AMVCA is a true nollywood personality. Most of them are social media influenzers doing skits, short videos and African magic movies and soaps as part time. Some are merely hustling ex-multichoice housemates being promoted by the company. They easily mobilise their social media fans to support them.

Did you notice any difference when Nkem owoh and patience ozokwo came to speak? Those are the real nollywood personalities.

You are talking about Chizzi alichi et al because you know them. It means they have made names for themselves without one million naira award. However, that cannot be said of Toby bekere, kunle afolayo that are not known outside their entertainment enclave. That is why they need to amass as many "awards" as possible.

Let Mercy Johnson, Friedrich Leonard, Ruth kadiri, Ebere okaro, Onyinye udeze or even Chinenye Nnebe or Regina Daniel of yesterday visit any African country and see if they won't be "mobbed".

Until I start seeing regular faces I see in ROK1 and 2, and African magic channels, then the award ceremony remains an "Owambe night"

Dear OP, you should have put this your post in the joke section, so that I would have known it was more of a joke than your "opinion".
A wise man once said, "Never make sparogative fun of a friend at the table to please the table". Anyways, I don't know the table you are trying to please, but know that the people you are labeling as "Asabawood" are creatives, financiers and employers, who use the little resources available to them to meet the demands of their teeming market.
When I saw the AMVCA's nominees for best online

content creators and online video whatever and

there was no Sabinus, I knew AMVCA were also jokers.


Not only sabinus but one other guy that wears women clothings
Once again, Dear OP, move this post to joke section.

sammyuche:
No need looking down on them. Even in other countries there are B grade movies. It's all necessary to keep a healthy market. Is it all channels on dst or gotv that can show all these A list movies? That's why there are low budget films to keep these stations running ( Epic, local tv stations etc). Don't be surprised these guys make money from these movies regularly as they also upload to there YouTube channels

You re truly a dummy with this ur warped argument. Stop disgracing urself here

Just like you can say Grammys is a Yoruba award because Yorubas have 14 Granmys and you losers don't have a single one

You can only talk of take over where a group was ahead before.

most useless and stagnated comment I have seen in 2023... Oga asabawood is not growing, their story line is wack and repeated with different name, their story line is predictable, which is boring and doesn't sell, hence reason why amazon prime or Netflix can never buy their movie, Neither cinema buying viewing right to it, let's not even talk about the picture and sound quality at all. Those people you call influencer who are the new and upgraded face of nollywood is why people can actually make a decent living outside nollywood unlike the so called asaba movie that pay is very poor, some are paid as less as 20k for lead role, have u not asked urself that why is it that it is only when they are sick you really know how poor they are..asaba movie that is filed with sexual immorality of sleeping with director or producer to get a role, a full movie budget can even be under 2million, etc.. The Real money is in those video streaming platform like amazon prime, and Netflix buying viewing right to your movie or cinema buying viewing franchise etc, that what made us know an actor can be paid 1million to as Hugh as 10million for lead role, who go give u that money for asabawood? It is hightime those local champion start improving and catching up with trend first by changing their camera for a start. Even the normal traditional yoruba movies have now left the asaba movie behind RN, movies like anikulapo, king of thieves etc.. It is a pity that your kind doesn't see that asabawood is far behind.

BeardedmeatR:
There's yoruba nolly too

misano:


The AMVCA he is talking about is even dominated by Igbo and Edo girls.

finallybusy:
Abeg, those lokitos have their own award shows. AMVCA is about class and distinction. How will a movie shot in two weeks with a two hundred thousand Naira budget compete with those crafted from multi millions of Naira? Is it a short film to begin with? New Nollywood appeals more to our growing middle class and foreigners of other races. Nkem Owoh and Patience Ozokwor are still regarded because the adults of today enjoyed their movies as children. Gen Zs don't know them from Adam. Wait for Generation Alpha to hit adulthood, those names will fade into oblivion including Omotola and Genevieve.

ORIENTATION101:
nollywood dominated by igbos back in the days when there were trash. Majority of actors,actress holding down nolywood now are not igbos.
The highest grossing films top 5 were produce by yorubas .
Top producers in the industry that their films are on Netflix are Yoruba's.
Kunle afolayan,jade osiberu,kemi Adetiba,mosunmola abudu e.t.c

Exactly. They are the reason other Africans look down on Nigeria.
