The most tribalistic hateful people in Nigeria are Igbo and it’s not even close
I doubt it.

Only someone that does not closely study Nigeria would believe so.

You think there were no localized old skul igbo raps too. I remember my uncle playing songs where there were rapping about "nkwu ocha" ( palm wine) in the early 90s. I don't even know the name of the artists. Many such childhood old skul raps, you people take too much advantage of Lagos influence to claim a lot of things. Na that my uncle suppose come finish you. I'm talking about modern naija hip hop. Present generation of yorubas think that phyno is first igbo rapper just because others didn't move to Lagos that's my point. Not about your 18 century Lagos rap. Others also had their own at the same period
Na you get time for Yoruba, they think Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos. Very clanish local champions. The same Nollywood they were crying out for Igbo domination is the one they claiming they started. When Nollywood was at its infancy they were mocking Igbo, calling it alaba production. As soon as it got better all of them wanted to reap where they didn't show. Envy and lies(propaganda)are they trade marks

It's in Yorubaland that you will see a professor of philosophy would tell you that he is voting for tinubu because he is a Yoruba man like him. grin

Character is none of his business as long as the candidate can speak the same language as him.
You remind me of an argument I had with one them. I told the fellow that average Yoruba doesn't have characters that favours scientific knowledge. Since science does not base on emotions or sentiments which Yoruba value more than fact, they believe in propaganda to advance any cause. Even the the so called educated one among them lacks intellectual integrity.

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 there english sucks, Dem kuku create Nollywood Yoruba to console themselves.
If anything be proud of your native Language.
That is where your root is.
Love and speak Igbo Always, despite English being the general Language. Our primary Language are our native Language.
Yoruba had achieved a lot in these regard, speaking the language in their movies and music MUST be commendable.

Some people actually think that Nollywood started with 'Living In Bondage ' and 'Domitila'. Smh.

Aisha is even schooling them for free when they should be paying to recieve this kind of knowledge.

Everything about entertainment in Africa, from the first TV station to the first stadium etc, has its root in Ibadan, the heart of Yorubaland through the vision of our forebears. Thank you Aisha for the free education you are giving them.

Entertainment business is total package and it's bringing in billions into Nigeria through the Nigerian music, sports and film industry pioneered by the Yoruba and still owned by the Yoruba.

The chart bursting Nollywood films are produced in Yoruba but subtitled in English, Asake sings in Yoruba, all the Nigerian music Stars that performed at his UK show, including Tunde Baiyewu of Light House, are Nigerians and Yoruba with link to Nollywood. Most of those sound tracks in Yoruba films come from these Yoruba global Musicians.

Even Gospel musicians like Tope Alabi are connected to Nollywood while World Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua, World Athletics record-holder Tobi Amusan, along with Odunlade Adekola, Olamide, Teni and others are Glo Ambassadors, Iya Rainbow, Lateef Adedimeji, Dele Odule from Nollywood as Airtel Ambassadors, with their faces all over local and international Nigerian entertainment contents sponsorship.

Yoruba started Nollywood when the rest of Nigeria and Africa had not even seen or watched a TV in their lives and the Yoruba still own Nollywood till date.

The Yoruba can teach others in Nigeria and Africa how they sustain this global feat and dominance of entertainment if others are humble enough to learn from the Yoruba. We are all Nigerians/Africans and we can learn from one another.

if u have sense u will know igbos started Nollywood In English and Yorubas were doing their own thing in Yoruba not English.

It was later merged together and the yorubas started joining the English movies which igbos started from onitsha iweka Road.

Smh. Is that the lie they gave you? You don't know nada. Nollywood is the name given to Nigerian indigenous films industry. That means indigenous films by Nigerians, produced by Nigerians and transmitted to private homes and shown at cinema.

While you were hyping Living in Bondage in the east, several decades before then had been Nigerian films that were block busters that you never knew because such technology which had gained ground in Yorubaland had not reached the East. Nobody in the whole Eastern Nigeria has even seen let alone watch TV until later.

Television started in Yorubaland at a time the rest of Nigeria and Africa had never seen or watched TV! While the Yoruba were producing films and other contents for TV, the technology has not even reached your side and other parts of Africa.

It's completely fraudulent to now attempt to insinuate Nollywood started when you started watching TV long years later. The Yoruba films being beamed on TV then started Nollywood. You should be grateful to those Yoruba pace setters of Nollywood.

There was a time Yoruba actors hated to be called Nollywood actors,they hate Nollywood that they said calling them Nollywood actors would be like they are Igbo actors,now they are claiming the same
Ok let’s settle the fact,if you have any non Nigerian -African friends,ask them who they know in the actors below
First is a top Yoruba actor and second are not even the most popular in Nollywood


Igbo Nollywood have the fan base not the Yorubawood that are limited to Oyo and Lagos

nobody is disputing yorubas positive contribution to Nigeria or Nollywood. Yoruba speaking movies have excelled more than igbo speaking movies.

What some of us are saying is that the English speaking Nollywood movies was started and promoted bt igbos. These are facts.

Yoruba created Nollywood Yoruba obviously bt igbos created Nollywood English bt Nollywood igbos is lacking behind unlike the Yoruba version.
