Believe it or not, the originator of this thread did not mean to sound tribalistic. Perhaps it was wrong choice of words that made him appear tribalistic. I believe what he wanted was to create an avenue where we can all proffer solutions to the present setbacks experienced by our beloved Nollyhood and how to move d industry forward. I am neither an igbo nor a yoruba but i'm amazed at the aggression of amaka and co towards this issue. Na wa o. But this is a common thing that when a particular tribe dominate at the helm of affairs people tend to generalise if things go wrong. Abi have we not heard even d igbos accusing d hausas for ruining the nation's politics. Why dont they blame Yaradua instead. So my brother is not far from the truth if he too generalises. Afterall the igbos are at the helm of affairs in nollyhood. Come to think of it, how will nollyhood grow when two brothers Esiegbu and Kanayo are busy fighting for the top job. Now are these two not igbos? Abeg lets call a spade a spade instead of causing a miniature civil war 2 here. One love.
Battle for supremacy tears Yoruba film industry apart
Adunola Fasuyi, Lagos
Saturday, August 15, 2009
The issues of seniority and age have eaten deep into the Yoruba film industry such that it is gradually tearing apart the sector as well as derailing progress that would have moved the movie industry to greater heights.

Industry observers said that the issue could destroy the industry if not decisively addressed by leaders and elders in the industry.


They claimed there were issues of age, experience and seniority that are tearing the industry apart as some actresses refuse to pick roles/scripts in some movies once their sworn enemies are part of the cast.


Recently, top Yoruba actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Lizy Anjorin, were both seen at a public gathering exchanging abuses that almost turned into a street fight over the issue of seniority. According to reports, Iyabo claimed that she was older than Lizy and that Lizy should call her ‘Aunty’, which Lizy objected to outright, asking if Iyabo knew her age or when she was born.


It was, however, revealed during the argument that Lizy was older than Iyabo, but Iyabo said she was her senior in the industry.


However, they have both set straight the allegation on public fight between them, noting it was just a quarrel that has been settled amicably. The fact, however, remains that the bone of contention was the seniority issue.


Mr. Dele Odule, National Vice President, Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners, has given a stern warning to actresses in the industry over public embarrassment on trivial issues like age or seniority.


Odule, who confirmed that the development is causing delay in progress, noted that respect is not forced, but earned through self respect, diligence and hardwork. He, therefore, called on the movie practitioners to see themselves as one and work together to bring development to the industry, as well as to the country at large.


The issue of age and seniority had pitched several actresses like Dayo Amusa against Funmi Lawal, Bisi Ibidapo Obe against Iyabo Ojo and Sikira Sindodo, Bukky Wright against Lepa Shandy among others.

What i meant by that statement is this kidnapping thing has been going on for sometime and some notable people (ABC transports wife,Pokobros) have suffered from this nonsense.I just feel that publicity given to this story is a bit high but nevertheless it is an an extremely bad situation.

However i do not think it will stop.

Whatever the alledged irregularity we are witnessing, it is nothing compared to what we have seen in America or England. What happened at Northern Rock or Lehman Brothers?
These countries are not slandering Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke or Mervyn King.
Investors and banks are happy to take the profits when times are good, they should also be able to take the losses when times are bad.

Say Hi to Funmi for me!  grin
I asked that question because Aloyemeka in another thread told me of the school he/she went to and the neighbourhood he/she grew up in owerri and only someone that grew up in owerri or was brought up in owerri can call those places the names he/she called them ie their nicknames.

Can funmi speak igbo because i can dig up posts where Aloyemeka spoke fluent igbo.

[quote author=Aloy~Emeka link=topic=309929.msg4358930#msg4358930 date=1250378022]Which award did Tunde kelani win with his movies?. Is Tunde Kelani the same as Yoruba movie industry?. Hasn't he made movies in english which also makes him a nollywood member or are you asking me an igbo movie director whose movies made such feat?. Well, Uzo has such feats with his movies and they were shown more than TK.  So, name any Yoruba movie with international accolades which Nollywood is yet to conquer?. Since your warped reasoning is not enough to understand that Nigerian movies suffer from the same issues whether they are igbo, Yoruba or hausa. Stories are recylcled so, saying  that Hollywood rip off movies is nothing new in the art world. Others do that.

On sunbtitles:
Subtitle does not represent a story very well no matter how good you do it. Ikuku is an Nkem Owo movie which is very hilarious but not to a non igbo person because the subtitle does not deliver the story like it should be. I prefer to focus on the picture and not read subtitles. Watching a movie should be for fun and not a reading class but for those who can, let them do it.

You haven't answered the thriving question still: Why are Nollywood movies more popular than Yoruba movies if language is not a barrier and their quality is lower than Yoruba movies?. What is the reason behind it? Igbo tribalism is stopping the sales of Yoruba movies, right?[/quote]Aloy are you in the movie biz?

Sunny_bobo, you and whoever your sponsors are should stop spreading these lies. The fact that the Vanguard was stupid enough to print it doesn't mean Nairalanders will accept it.


If at all you want to construct a lie, do it intelligently. The term Boko Haram simply means Western Education is an Abomination or is Forbidden.


The term Al Hakubarah simply does not exist.


STOP THIS RUBBISH!

I can't comment until Vanguards website is back up and I can read the article there.
I have actually seen that write up.It opened quite later in vanguard.
