This event will fundamentally change everything about Nigeria. Igbos get ready...

Nigeria has two choices now.

1) Meet the age long demands of Ndigbo for a restructured Nigeria with resource control, equity and fairness.

2) Remain shortsighted and stubborn which will accelerate the rise of Biafra

Which one will Nigeria pick? (I think I already know the answer)

secret saboteurs like you? which one is "age long demand of ndigbo for a restructured Nigeria"? you and who is demanding restructuring?

nobody said nigeria going to lat forever and even if you break nigeria today you still have the north as your next neighboor but this time sharia wil and islamic militancy will spread to the middle belt. it like al shabbab from somolia attackig kenya despite the fact that there different country, igbos think they can run from there problems by creating more violence. No right thinking edo urhobo itesekiri, ijaw will be a slave in oduduwa or biafra and even arewa it is impossible. edo state state doesnt need the flooding of more invaders in the state who do crime

your fear fear never start. you'll soon see it happen.

osazuwa23:
The only igbo part of the south south is igbanke in edo but areaas like delta apart from baylesa state should be it own nation but you also have these group i mentioned as well. Also united nation wont support more then two nation at minimum. I never seen a country in africa have more then two nations come from it. Realistically a northern and southern nigeria make sense

This one you're running helter skelter it seems reality is beginning to dawn on you. You all think Nigeria is gonna last forever right. Continue deluding yourself with Niger Delta republic or fictitious southern Nigeria. Reality will soon hit you hard.

How do u mean?

They speak of healing wounds without conducting referendum.

I searched for "referendum" in the entire write-up I couldn't find it, then I knew the write-ups was rubbish.

That's not true. Theater art was already a big and lucrative industry as far back as late 1940s, that is long before Nollywood was coined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_theatre


[s] Moreover, Nollywood killed the discipline called Theatre arts because every tom that can shake leg or open teeth polarized nollywood.[/s]

What made it lucrative?

Nigerians know this is what will happen when Biafra leaves.

forgiveness:
"People wouldn't have considered reading theater arts till they saw living in bondage"


Definitely, this statement shows he doesn't know the history of movie industry in Nigeria.

of course that is the truth. The discipline "theatre arts" as it were was mainly an academic stuff that prepared it's graduate civil service and related corporate field. nollywood made acting career lucrative and gave a lot of theatre arts professionals a niche. Its one of pillars of Nigerian economy. Many choose to study theatre arts today because they prefer an acting career.

You mean they should be allowed to destroy properties and businesses?

AwkaFinest:
Odili's wife is Igbo
Amaechi's is Igbo as well. These women empowered so many Igbo women in Rivers state. So many government employments were given to Igbos, but if you do this in our land of SE it's a problem. I know what I'm saying.

but those governors are Igbo's aren't they?

HazardAwka:
What if the prime minister decrees something that is not accepted by the Queen, What will happen?

The Parliament makes the law and the monarchy approves.

The prime mister has more power, the queen has more honour.

Afonja will die on Biafra matter

hope the left haven't started their politics.

Igbos gave you their daughter and you're hating on them as a reward. It is not Igbos fault that their women are the most sought after among politicians, businessmen, academicians and celebrities from other regions. The one who is at fault is the one who travels to the east, pays a bride prize, marries their daughter and wants to restrict her rights simply because she is not from their ethnic group. we're talking about the same Yoruba people that won't take their eyes of Igbo girl. The same Yoruba people that will hypocritically shake their head at any news of Igbo family turning down giving their daughter to Yoruba man and calling it incivility. they want to eat their cake and have it. what hypocrisy!

As long as your high and mighty continue to marry igbo girls we Igbos must ensure that our daughters have equal rights because we grant same here.

Benevento:
igbos no get shame.


With things like this, I can assure you Biafra will be worse than South Sudan.

But south Sudan is better than Nigeria.

kayfra:
The poor and wretched alaba economic migrants ruined the original Nigerian movie industry when they pirated every thing screened in cinemas. That ended the glorious days

Yorubas have claimed what is theres now and we rule all the awards and highest grossing movies.

Everything you guys touch gets rotten. They totally made Nigerian movie industry a mediocre industry with garbage production shot on camcorders. Utter nonsense

more pains and frustrations.

the Newyork times clearly categorized it as "opinion"
speaks volume

Hausa people have kannywood based in Kano, Yoruba's have their language movie based in southwest while Igbo's have nollywood based in Lagos/Enugu marketed mainly by Onitsha/ Lagos/ Aba based Igbo businessmen to everywhere across the country. Nollywood are Igbo stories expressed either in English and Igbo language. Yoruba movies have their own actors association different from AGN, they have their own marketers but unlike Hausa's that have kannywood, Yoruba movie producers still cling unto the brand created by nollywood for success. Infact, for a longtime, African magic had three channels for Nigerian movies the mainstream AM for nollywood, one for Hausa and one for Yoruba. Igbo's never felt the need to have another channel except for the need to preserve our language. That is why we have AM Igbo.

SLAP44:
Living in bondage started an unprecedented revolution in the country, thousands of men and women were picked off the streets and became actors overnight, hotels boomed, eateries soared, real estate boomed and entire sections of markets started selling only movies and films for the first time. Iweka road, Market road Aba, Idumota, Iwo road and Kaduna started receiving tons of new movies weekly.

That is the birth of Nollywood !

living in bondage pioneered movie making as business!
