Again I ask, did Funke not join politics albeit nominally in 2023 Did you see her in any campaign

Before then was she not already an A-list actress in nollywood

Have the actresses I mentioned so far not been gracing the screens of nollywood? Yet you discredit them because of your stupid biases.

If I mention 1000, you will do the same thing - discredit them. You did not think well before you made your first assertion and now you are struggling to justify your foolish claim.

I insist, only a mor*n will rank Etinosa, Jegede, Kadiri etc etc alongside Joke Silva, Funke, Bimbo

stop cursing. Funke akindele was never in the mainstream nollywood and Bimbo akintola, although a veteran, was never an a list actress. Funke was on Yoruba movies and a lot of nollywood fans didn't know her until she became a producer.

Producers will rank Yvonne Jegede over funke akindele as actress except they are morons too according to you. Jegede has been in the mainstream since 2000s. Comparing funke with Ruth is pure delusion in every ramification.

The ongoing Rivers political brouhaha should be laid to rest at the Supreme Court. It will turn on whether there was a decampment known to law when the larger number of the members of the RVSHA purported to move to the APC from the PDP. If the Supreme Court say there was a decampment Sim regains full bar of network signal. Should the Supreme Court hold differently then Sim is cracked and loses signal for all time!

no court has ruled on the substance of the defections.

Olod*!

I could mention 100 Yoruba actresses. But no time!!! Who said Netflix should not sponsor Edos if they are good enough

When did Funke join politics? Was it not 2023? Had she not blown before then? You be otondo, I swear!

And the few I listed are WAY ABOVE the Edo actresses you listed who are only known to you guys in Edo and maybe southern Nigeria.

Only a mor*n will rank Etinosa, Kadiri, Jegede etc etc along Joke Silva and co. Damn!!!

Edos are NOWHERE NEAR Yorubas in ANY POSITIVE area of life

you have lost it logically and have now turned to oshodi style of discussion and curses which you lots are known for. You do not have time to mention Yoruba actresses but have ample time to type gibberish and abuses.

Mention Yoruba actresses that have consistently graced the screen of most nollywood fans in the past three years and you're mentioning joke Silva and some unknown entities.
Before funke joined politics was she a sought-after a-list actress on the mainstream nollywood? The answer is no!
She was only known in the Yoruba circles until she became a producer and started featuring herself.

So what metrics is used to judge Nollywood movie worth? If you don’t use box office gross, Netflix/Prime numbers, what exactly will you use?

YouTube views and how do you measure YouTube success and link it with an ethnic?

Mind you, I am not arguing Nollywood success with you, Yoruba far trump any ethnic in movie, music, and general entertainment when you talk of gross value and achievements. No ethnic group come close.

If I will rank it, Yoruba, South-South ethnics, then we will rank Ibos third.

That is why I said that nollywood is largely informal and you cannot use the paltry cinema industry that is still dominated by foreign movies to judge nollywood. For instance, the cinema industry generated a paltry 7.6 billion naira in 2023 while Netflix added 39 million dollars to Nigeria's GDP after investing over 24 million dollars same year.

Compare it with multichoice profit of 277 billion naira profit in the same 2023. You know a large chunk of this amount comes from its movie channels.

Also YouTube nigerian ADs alone in 2023 is estimated to be worth over 100 billion naira. This is nigerian ad which excludes the value of foreign ad on Nigerian contents and YouTube overall profit in Nigeria which they do not disclose.
Nollywood movies contribute a large chunk of revenues for this channels. How do you extract the value of nollywood content from these channels?

That is why I told you the main nollywood is largely informal but hugely dominate behind the scenes, chasing Netflix and Amazon prime away as predicted

LegendHero:
I don’t even understand what you are trying to say.

you won't understand. The only thing you understand is your "highest grossing" propaganda you use to mislead those who don't understand the market.

"Highest grossing" and "box office" only apply to the cinema who control an almost insignificant share of the nollywood market value.

Funke Akindele

Kehinde Bankole

Bimbo Ademoye

Omowunmi Dada

Joke Silva

Iretiola Julius

Etc Etc Etc

You are a learner!!!

you couldn't even list up to ten Yoruba actresses to compete with small Edo. Only Bimbo ademoye can compete with the ones I listed.

Lol... You even had to bring up Joke Silva. Your list is as dry as hell. I know you guys lack talented actors bit didn't know it was this bad

Even funke akindele is not an a list actress. She didn't receive much acceptance in the English nollywood and had to join politics and raised capital to become a producer

Yoruba doesn't have good actors and producers. Most Netflix movies you shout about are funded by Netflix. Therefore, they are actually produced by Netflix. The collapse of Netflix once again highlights the hidden incompetence of the Yorubas in the craft of movie making.

LegendHero:
Netflix ain’t leaving Nigeria. Also, even without Netflix, Yoruba movies gross the highest number at the box office and no amount of tears from people like you will stop the fact.

Even ordinary Benin get level pass Ibo people. Yoruba is way above your league.

Yorubas have no hold in the movie industry at all. Igbos now dominate nollywood more than before but the problem is that the industry is largely unstructured and informal. Everyone is now a producer, with YouTube and paytv like ROK and African magic being the biggest distributors.

Netflix had a very small market share and did everything with Amazon prime to break even but your Igbo dominated traditional nollywood that has migrated to YouTube and paytv still has a stronghold on the viewership. It was very easy for us to predict that Netflix will divest from Nigerians when they have less than 200k subscribers in an over 200million population economy, while YouTube movies record millions of views in days.

The cinema sector hold a very small chunk of the overall nollywood market value, about 5%. Hence, using "box office" performance to evaluate movie success is highly misleading. It's like using the prices of products on the shelves to generalize retail prices in the Nigerian market when you know most nigerians use the traditional market instead of the mall. Even in the cinema sector, foreign movies still dominate. This is to tell you how unappealing the cinema nollywood remain to the average nollywood fan despite the incredible media promotion. Chill bro.

kedeojo:
It is far better the federal control the LGA than how the state government are controlling it now. Federal can't ask for money from the chairmen but will monitor how the utilizes the money.

what destroy you guys is ignorance. How on earth can federal government monitor local government when they can't monitor the states?
Local government is the most corrupt tier of government and allowing federal government to hijack it will make it worse. Local government is in the state government's domain of control. The constitution actually mandates the state to coordinate the local government in several areas and to legislate for them. Many LGAs are poor and can't even pay workers and teachers. It's the states that pay for them.

Do well to show me any five Yoruba actresses that are as fairly consistent and popular within nollywood circle like the first five names I posted. I don't want to list Igbos because that would be listing the entire nollywood, and it's not possible.

This is federal control which is actually unlawful.
