yoruboid:
Now the era of home videos and piracy have come to an end and the focus is more on cinema and streaming, the real geniuses of the industry have emerged

Soon, we will witness the end of fake drugs and electronics and we will see the emergence of the real entrepreneurs in that field

The Yorubas lead in Entertainment, Tech, Banking, Poultry Farming, Industries, Fashion, Education, Real Estate, Governance, Hospitality and Commerce devoid of fraud

chatinent:
You will see how tribalists will twist this good thread. Tribalists that have never won any national awards!

TimeMachine3:


What rubbish is this toad talking about? Keep hating on those that thought your ancestors how to read, write and wear pants.

haffaze777:
Yoruba to the world.we ain't anybody's mate.

DabuIIIT:

Shame on people like you..cos this is the same Funke you all ronus attacked and called all sort of names during the last election for daring to aim high.
You people even chased her away from the market on a certain day!

How beautiful it would be if her type were the ones in dominance and in power in Lagos and in fact,the country and not touts and agberoes that you people prefer!
Shame on you.

Efilse:


Hate dey blind reason and logic! E no go help you. What you don't know is it's a progressive journey......our movies are getting on Netflix, Amazon prime, it's getting noticed......which would start bringing heavy investor into the industry.

But it first had to start with quality. See it takes time, creativity and $$$ to create quality not the asaba rubbish we did in the past, that made cheap quick profits and almost wrecked the industry. The new Nollywood is on the right trajectory.

gare:


Don't really understand what's wrong with you tribal bigots, must you relate this to tribes now or what's wrong with you guys, Tinubu wouldn't be President forever, because I don't understand all theses tribal cards you guys are playing, after Tinubu 4yrs or 8yrs what will happen to you all that wouldn't do or say anything without comparing yourself with other tribes.

ucheuzor1:


Ode na there Dem dey see you. What have you contributed to the Yoruba nation other than being here opening your big mouth on nairaland.

forgiveness:
Wow!!! They have coverd the lacuna........Alaba..... by using cinema and other means to get back their profits. Good job.

walefresh3:
Finally the owner of Nollywood have taking over

Irony1:


Which lacuna. Is it that you guys just enjoy stupid bigotry?

FreeStuffsNG:

Congratulations to these excellent thespians. We are yet to see the best of their best production yet so they should not rest on their oars.

I think Adebayo Tijani should be among the first 5 on that list, I really wonder how he went down to No. 10. He needs to really buckle up more.

That gap by Funke Akindele, a.k.a Jenifa, is very wide o. Wow!! She is really doing very well o. She has returned to her Celestial Church foundation, enjoying Kent Edunjobi & Apex choir's Ebenezeri and back to bursting the charts with her excellent arts so much that the President had to congratulate her as reported on radio Lagos evening news yesterday.

Well done Funke Omo Ikorodu Oga. One will not easily know that Funke will be 50 years old in the next 2 years. Right from the days of "Speak Out" to now, Funke, You're doing very well.
God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs!

Onyiiobi7735:

Lol! Majority of the Yorubas on this forum have this mental disorder that makes them feel forever threatened by the existence of Igbos and also makes them behave more like territorial wild animals.

Alaigbo:
See wailing from pained souls
Yorubas chose they want, we don't want PDP or labour in our midst we tried PDP before n know APC is miles beta.

When a viable candidate came out from Labour in the perosn of Mimiko Yorubas were wiser than your hate filled fathers in Alaigbo n voted overwhelmingly for him but you see that your Pandora criminal that it will never ever be beta for nobody will vote him ever again in Yoruba. It matters little if you wail to death.

You are free to glorify the failure in Ipobland but that Tinubu you hate so much we know is value here in the SW. He is definitely not the bets but compare to the Agulu oloriburuku Pandora criminal Peter Obi he is a trillion times beta.
Alaye,stop disgracing yourself and foaming in the mouth,I am not igbo and I don't hate Tinubu!
But you don't hate Obi but you have his picture on your page!!!!
Haba!!! E wo Foaming in the mouth with annoyance 101 o!!?

Cryofigbos:
The honest truth is the only thing the ibos r good at is making fake things and illegal business, dey will come and compare and contrast dis long list of achievements with 1 dead career actress

ProudNigerian01:
You guys need to stop this talk of your tribe being better than others. As you were not the one that chose for yourself the tribe to belong to, it makes no sense to say yours is better than others.

There's no tribe better than the other, we are all God's children enjoying his mercies and blessings. STOP CAUSING CONFLICT WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T BE ANY.

Alaigbo:
Lol say that to multitude of fools n lunatics that go on every thread shouting Igbo amaka

Sucre7:
Oga seun, you promised that this year this would be handled differently. Lol just 6days into the year we've seen the same old story of tribalism, bigotry, and abuse.

Yet nothing is being done about it. Nawa oh

Alaigbo:
Is that because they are not shouting n wailing Igbo amaka here.

Alaigbo:
So in essence when Igbo start shouting Igbo amaka on any thread it should be closed down because I don't understand why you igbos are so pained because Yorubas are celebrating their own success.

Irony1:


See it takes two to tango. If you guys are not antagonising igbos with Yoruba lawa, igbos will not respond. The igbo amaka term is in response to your attacks.

Irony1:


Your moniker is being marked and it is not hard to retrieve IP address and track you. Until you cool off in prison and the so called Yoruba elites and elders abandon you then your eye will clear.

SeaTrade:
Spoken like the typical armchair entrepreneur.
It's not about emotions but numbers.
It takes years upon years for a country of 200m people to produce a movie that will make N1B across all distribution channels,
This should tell you it's not an "investment" problem but a demand problem.
Meaning the bulk of the demand for home theatre entertainment is from people that can't access modern distribution channels and are stuck with the old asaba ways,which is why the make more money.
Abi how will investments help?You want dey buy TV for everybody house to install Netflix?
Clown.

lagbaja:
In reality, Wedding party produced by Kemi Adetiba is the highest grossing Nollywood wood film if you consider the exchange rates at the times of production.

Wedding party produced in 2016 made N452million when exchange rate was about N390 per dollar. That gives us about $1.2 m dollars.

On the other hand, Funke Akindele's Children of Judah grossed N1B ( latest figure as at yesterday 5th January 2024) which in dollar terms is about $833k dollars (1 $= N1200)

Alaigbo:
See clown threatening track the IP instead of making foolish mouth now.

Alaigbo:
I will take you seriously when you post this same comment on thread igbos are shouting Igbo amaka.

Alaigbo:
God will be the judge in this situation, if Yoruba started Yoruba lawa first on Nairaland may I die a shameful death but if igbos started Igbo amaka first on Nairaland may you die an horrifying shameful death with every member of your household this year 2024.

Irony1:


Oga no be mouth ooooo, you really don't understand the sh**t storm you want to enter. If the security agencies hold Seun and ask for details of each moniker do you think seun will not waste time to release it. Even the server logs is enough to get your IP details.

Efilse:


Please is someone seeing this! Ignorance on display. For one your dumbass doesn't know investing in more distribution channels can significantly expand access to content.

I don't have to explain how business works, you know, but your hate has blinded that.

forgiveness:
Wow!!! They have coverd the lacuna........Alaba..... by using cinema and other means to get back their profits. Good job.
