They were recording on celluloid, specifically Hubert Ogunde. That wasn't Nollywood.

Nollywood is as the one that went beyond our shores, Ibos started it with VHS tapes and Upper Iweka market distributors, Ebinpejo lane, etcetera.

Not celluloids. D first vhs film came out around 1982 or 86. That was six years earlier that the 1990 living in bondage

Yoruba started Nollywood yet, most Yoruba actors and actresses didn't break through the English version of Nollywood from baba suwe to Mr latin down to Femi adebayo.

The Igbos gave Nollywood life and since Yoruba actors and actresses couldn't break through the English version of Nollywood probably because their english sucks, Dem kuku create Nollywood Yoruba to console themselves.

From someone who his grammar is egregious. For your mind now, you put down correct english. Mumu

OGHENAOGIE:
meanwhile obi got 95 percent in Igboland while PDP APC couldn't see even 10 percent each yet u open ur gutter to tag others tribalists... U were expecting LP a small party to win ahead of PDP or APC if not delusion... Southwest PDP LP APC got good votes unlike south east that's one way traffic yet u pple call others tribalists when na Ina be tribalists...

If obi did not get 95% in 2023, then who else should?

Who is better than him in that election?

You should first prove that they were far competent people in the race, before you can now accuse them of tribalistic voting.

All the years that they voted for non-igbos, where were you?

When igbos voted for Obasanjo at the expenses of ojukwu?

Where your papa dey?

Even in this age and time, all of them for their yorobanza wood cannot stand Eucharia Anunobi, kanayo, Pete Edochie, late Sam loco in English, abeg how did they start or end nollywood I'm happy igbos hardly argue with u guys anymore, envy go kill una

Very pathetic indeed..

It is thankful that we are not allowing the revisionist madness prevail...

The social media has really limited the scope of propaganda especially those fuelled by the print media...

The Nollywood that used to be called Igbo Nollywood not long ago because of the overwhelming footprints of Igbo culture, mercantile prowess and sheer proclivities for excellence is now being contended for...

The Nollywood that provided the avenue Chidi Mokeme and Bob-Manuel Udokwu to star in the Gulder Ultimate Search series and thereby capture national imagination...

Pick an Igbo professor, an Hausa professor, an Edo professor, an Ibibio professor, and a Yoruba professor.

Ask them to discuss Nigeria.

The Yoruba professor would shock you with his world view that would not be so different from that of a baba Tunde the mechanic.

They are education-proof.

Most times when we see fact we like to twist it to suite our tribe or ppl even when the fact is obvious.


Ppl like Ali Nuhu started with Nollywood dominated by Igbos B4 hé switched to Kannywood.

Yvonne, Majid Michael, Van Vickers all Ghanaian started their career from Igbo dominated Nollywood movies

The fact remains that Igbos are the father of Nollywood movies. Go outside the country majority of Africans thinks that Igbo is the second official Language of Nigeria due to its influence in Nollywood movies.

Joy TV satellite TV station owned by Ghanaian play Igbo controlled Nollywood movies everyday

Says a drunkard 😂😆

The reason why ipob and Nnamdi kanu have been restricted to the fringes and classified as mad people is because the Igbo intelligentsia don't support them.

If kanu was a Yoruba man with that level of tenacity and bigotry and ipob was a pan-Yoruba group, they would have been far more successful.

Tell me the igbos who gave it life? Desmond Elliott,omotola,tade ogidan,olu and joke silva are they igbos?talk of ramsey noah..eeeehhhh dont even talk that shit the first nigerian muscian is a yoruba, the first set of actors is a yoruba u can say igbos started the business of selling at alaba and idumota and then it was yoruba land and also thry started out by doing pirated copies

Omoawoke2:


Una like to argue.

This is a fact not a call for debate. Yorubas started nollywood and commercialized it.
Igbos have moved from snatching lands to stealing glory

That is what they are good at. Let us ask ourselves, what did eboes create and build in eboeland, absolutely nothing. Everything was built in yorubaland. From entertainment, art, education, banking, maritime, aviation, manufacturing etc. They will come all the way from their useless unfortunate region and tap on the generosity of yoruba ppl and later start using lies to claim that they own and dominate it (what a pathetic useless ingrates). They are very good at spreading lies and propaganda. If not for evidence, they will be getting away with everything. That is why yoruba ppl need to be selfish and Conservative. It's high time we stop allowing them to use our platforms. They should go and do things on their own and let us see what they can achieve. You see that they are struggling to break into music, they can't sing and for you to be successful you need to use yoruba in your songs. The stupid mistake that yoruba ppl will make is to start writing music for eboe artist and I bet you in few years to come they will tell you they own afrobeats. All they do is fed on the crumbs from yoruba ppls table to survive.

In 2027, when apc is running for governorship in lagos, they would use the same "chinedu" propaganda again.

They used it against Jimi agbaje consistently, and then Gbadebo.

They would use it again on 2027 against any Lagos governorship aspirant that is not from their entrenched group of govt touts.

Some few years back, the argument used to be that Yoruba movies are not a part of Nollywood and only English movies made by Aba and Onitsha producers make up Nollywood.

Today, that narrative is dead and buried. Yorubas have completely taken over the Nollywood industry with their quality films in recent years. From King of Boys to the wedding party to Anikulapo to Agesinkole to the latest blockbuster from Africa that has taken the entire movie world by storm, JAGUN JAGUN THE WARRIOR. Yorubas have redefined film making in Nigeria.

The era of poorly produced and low budget Aba made film dominating the industry is over. We are now churning out high quality films with huge budgets. Kudos to all the hardworking Yoruba actors who worked tirelessly to change the narrative.

They feed from the crumb and yet they look fresher and more nourished than you.

Go and ask those touts in Lagos how they identified Igbo voters during the election.

The most cleanest,freshest and well fed.

They instinctively knew the poor and poverty striken ones are the yorubas.

Wetin Yoruba Sabi sef?

Sell land, earn small money, go to party, fornicate, and eat.

Yoruba made movies before Ibos started recording VCDs.
The industry is called Nollywood not the format. It is like saying Hollywood or Bollywood started with videos cassettes or streaming.
If the movie industry in Nigeria is called Nollywood then Yoruba started it. This is based on facts and history.

LagosPrince:
The lady in picture is pained because nobody calls her for English films except for Yoruba movies .

😂 😆 😂

when it comes to entertainment even in African generally Yoruba is d best from d beginning, don’t kill ur self ur hatred nd inferior complex toward Yoruba has already blinded u Check around d world d music nd entertainment dat keeps breaking boundaries are done mostly by Yorubas dat is just d pure fact.

But things fall apart is more recognized than all Herbert ogunde's film[/quote]


I guess u are still a kid. Where are u and ur father, when Hubert Ogunde is doing stage theater performance, talkless of cinema movies like "Aiye, jayesinmi, Ayanmo, e.t.c

Nollywood is about recorded home videos which was started by Igbos. TV series no be Nollywood

recorded home videos started in nigeria by igbo?!

LIAR!

"There was no Nollywood until "Living in Bondage" in 1992, the first home video blockbuster movie that started the phenomenon of Nollywood."
- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima,
Publisher/Editor,
NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series,
The first book series on Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry.

Backward cretins, you people only started watching movies in 1992...
We've been watching movies since the 60s in southwest.
Alade Aromire started producing video cassette in the late 80s, Baba Sala started in 70s.

What Living in Bondage did was only to bring out Igbo artists.

She is right though.

Putinofrussia:

lol
I bet you are intelligent or you can at least pretend to be.
Hollywood, Bollywood and others all over the world all started from cinemas then into videos and so on.

There is a reason the world wouldn't forget the inventors of most tools we use today like cars,phones etc.

In simple words,Yorubas invented Nollywood before you know what acting is all about..

You can continue regaling yourself with self-serving fantasies but it is trite and incontestable that without the Igbos' ingenuity and penchant for excellence, Nigerian film industry wouldn't have anything besides a yeoman's activity...

You can never rewrite history you shameless, useless criminal...Nollywood started when Igbo film-makers began recording their movies on VHS tapes!

You ve got no glory if an outsider can come conquer you on your own soil while you and your generations pay him and his children for life... So keep wailing till.you die... MISERABLE RAT

Seun mynd44 Dominique

The question has nothing to do with igbos or dick measuring.... The question is simply comparing English Nollywood and Yoruba Nollywood But trust yoruba people to attack igbos for no reason.


The height of inferiority complex... Yorubas disappoint me everyday, seem like their education Is a waste, else how do you explain this bitterness?

Even the ones on nairaland are reenforcing her stupidity thereby dragging their tribe into the mud.

Every opportunity to abuse or slander igbos is most welcome.
