KINGwax: and i guess u haven't been seeing much of the chinese, japanese or russian movie subtitles.

So what exactly is your point? Should we benchmark ourselves with the bad performers or what
Maybe we should also not bother our leaders since according to OBJ we should thank God we are better than DR Congo
I wonder which parent will bring up her child in that manner

The editors are not only lazy,they are GREEDY.
What stops them from employing Yoruba graduates/lectures to do the subtitles
The improved films will create bigger market to other non-Yoruba people such that they recoup their extra payment to the professional translators and still have BIGGER profit. That is how smart people think- look at the BIG picture.
Those Mexican soaps that used to dominate our TVs in those days were properly interpreted into English. How about using that as our benchmark, something to strive for

i think the poster must have endured this catastrophe for so long that he couldnt take it any longer one way i think we can help is by showing the producers their mistakes and making this topic a constructive criticism forum.i think when they start reading how ppl are making jest of them they will change

I am on all fours with you. They are very lazy and greedy. To think there are unemployed graduates of English and Youruba.

why emphasy on yoruba movies, what about inceasant grammatical suicide on nairaland by most nairalanders, deal with the lug in your eye before talking about pebble in somebody else's eye.

It is as clear as crystal why you feel the way you do! My sympathies!

For those who feel English is not necessary, please what do you communicate in 80% of the time, How did you get past University and how did you pass your Job Interview. unless you work Full-time with Babalawo Ventures, I suggest you learn because it is Nigeria's OFFICIAL language. Nollywood has been blamed a lot for the dumbing-down of our youths due to the Poor Grammar, Poor Reasoning and Poor Culture Values it brings to the audience. Stop making excuses for it and criticize it, suggesting ways to improve the industry. At a point a lot of our actors had to go back to school

very funny thread.I must say the wrong subtitling in yoruba movies makes it more humorous.I enjoy i better that way.

The movie editors for yoruba movies can do better than this . Its shameful and shows just how unprofessional the yoruba movie industry is .

Two people just double crossed me with their Jeep and i came out.

What annoys me a lot more than simple grammatical errors is subtitles in Yoruba movies. Incomplete, with names in all capitals etc.

I must to marry chidimma and there is nothing you can does to stop it

Clerverly: Two people just double crossed me with their Jeep and i came out.

Hahahahaahahahahah....oohh boy.I was thinking am the only one noticing all this ooo.abeg if you know any producer or any member of nollywood.call their attention 2 this.this bomb is too much,

@everyone, do you mind correcting any grammatical error you states? Because am a learner and i am not ashame to learn. For example the above statement "my fellow widows" seems correct to me, i never knew its incorrect until someone here stated it. Do you mind correction the above statement?

Even with AWO's free Education
