lacasa: FYI;

This is an article by an igbo guy.

Joe Yorubakwe is Igbo?
Don't make me laugh!!

Asoozy:

Shit! You must have hated reading my link.

Who says truth isn't bitter?

Your response is tame this time around. Wassup Emeka?

I didn't even read your link. In my last post, I gave you good reasons why your asserrtion remains false.
It seems you are the one who has ran out of points after running from pillar to post.

Asoozy: http://estarstv.telly4africa.com/?p=477

Your initial assertion that Igbo producers only took advantege of her fame is still a lie because her very first role was given to her by an Igbo man, even the mortal inheritance was directed by an Igbo man and directors even play a greater role in choosing the casts (which is the theme of our discussion here) than a producer.

Asoozy: Produced, I meant to say.

Zeb Ejiro produced the movie and not Fred Amata as I had erroneously suggested

Zeb Ejiro as I'm sure you know, is not one if yours; he is Edo. At least the name gives it away. So that debunks your claim that the first five movies featuring Omotola were made by ibo movie makers.

Ibos at that time were not prominent in the movie business ( the authentic English movies). It was firmly under the control of the Then Bendel people and they had a nationalistic outlook unlike the tribalistic of today's so called Nollywood English movies.

Please provide a proof that Zeb Ejiro produced the movie, you keep jumping from pillar to post.
Smacks of confusion and lies.

Asoozy: Yes yes, Fred Amata was a cast member but the movie was directed by Zeb Ejiro an Edo man! Zeb Ejiro was a prolific producer/ director who directed a lot of true Nigerian English movies/soaps and the cast of mortal Inheritance lends credence to this. However all this changed when ibo traders took the reigns of movie production hence all we see now are substandard movies with 99% ibo cast.

No it was directed by Andy Amenechi an Igbo man.

tupacshakur: Superstar1, gboju n be! Emi mo Desmond dele o! I know the guy reach house!

Na confirmed Yoruba Guy. We grew up in the same neighbourhood in Surulere. We used to call him Brother Shola back in the days. His younger brother is still a friend of mine and all his siblings all have Yoruba first names. I wondered and still wonder why he didn't bear his first name as a Movie person.

His late Dad was a confirmed Omo isale eko and his Mom, who is Delta igbo speaks Yoruba more than she does Igbo...

You see am? All these Osun villagers forming Lagosians think they can tell a true Lagosian what he can or cannot do.
Educate the fool for me.

superstar1: Lol. Get it into your vestigial brain that he is not a descendant of Odua, therefore he is stranger and foreigner. He does not have a stake in a single grain of Oduduwa's soil.

He was, he is and will forever be a foreigner.

Well you are a fuçking nobody and have no say in the grand scheme of things outside here.
At the end of the day, you have just one vote.
He has more stake in Lagos than you.
Period.

Asoozy: I see that you have gone to do your homework quickly. Ibo( others call it English) Nollywood started its emergence in the mid 90s. Prior to that we had an all inclusive Nigerian movie industry in which all ethnic group seemed fairly represented. Shortly after the success of a few English made movies, ibo trader saw how lucrative it could be and dived head long. While I am not disputing the presence of ibo movie makers at the time mortal inheritance was made, I am making the point that it was not 'tribalistically' in their control as it appears now. While an ibo man may have directed the subjected movie, Fred Amata was the producer and he cast Omotola for that role. In fact I make bold to say that, that movie made Nollywood whole I'm sure ibos will claim it was living in bondage - to each his own.

The point here, before we deviate is that the names you mentioned helped the ibo traders and not the other way around. The ibo traders cum movie makers built on the hardwork of others.

The point here, overall is that Desmond is a fair weather politician. He ibo when it suits him and Yoruba when the money is right.

As omo Eko confirm, I denounce his candidacy!

Kponkwem!

Long epistles cannot help you dribble your way out of your lies.
You said Omotola helped the producers and not the other way round because she was already made before they started using her. That is a huge lie since at least 4 out her first five movies were by Igbo producers, Omotola said it herself that she was discovered by Reginald Ebere an Igbo man.
Finally whatever you describe mortal inheritance as is no problem to me since it was directed and produce by an Igbo man called Andy Amenechi, Fred Amata was Omotola's co actor in that movie not a producer in any way shape or form.

superstar1: Get it into your head, staying in Lagos does not make him one. He is now the son of Oduduwa. Period and we will show him the way to his village.

That what the constitution tells us. He will go to America, if he wants to contest in a no man's land.

An indigene of any hamlet in.Osun or Ondo or Ekiti or Oyo or yoruba speaking parts of kogi Kwara and edo has more stake in Lagos than any shidebere or shindinma or shindodo.

He isn't a Lagosion by merely staying in Lagos, he is Lagosian by blood, has more stakes in the state than you Osun indigene can ever have.
Get that into your skull.

Asoozy: The aforementioned actors made a name before the ibo producers hijacked the movie industry. As a matter of fact, these names helped launch a lot of the producers into prominence and not the other way around. The likes of omotola made her name when the Opa Williams', the Simi Opeoluwas, thé Amatas, the Tade Ogidans ran thé show.

Desmond Elliot is part of thé second génération that came when thé ibo producers had infiltrated the market.


The names you mentioned were established household names so it is in ibo marketers interest to take advantage.

Your fake revisionism cannot work, what were her first movies and who produced them?
Omotola was discovered by Reginald Ebere an Igbo man and the director of her very first movie ''venom of justice''. Everything you wrote up there is false.

Asoozy: Mortal inheritance made Omotola Jalade and propelled her into prominence. The movie was directed by Fred Amata and released in 1995.

Mortal Inheritance was directed by Andy Amenechi a core Igbo man, Fred Amata who isn't Yoruba by the way was an actor in the movie just like Omotola.
All her early movies were by Igbo producers and directors, the more you continue to defend you lies, the deeper you sink.

superstar1: The guy should go to wherever he is from and contest there.

What is his father's name. What is his Oriki, what is his compound name. All that will tell how much of yoruba he is.

Nigeria is not America, that is a no man's land. A scottish is a Scottish, a Welsh is one and an irish will forever be, likewise an English.

He is from the east of the Niger and it should go back there to contest.

We are tribalistic and there is no apology to anybody's father.

He is from Lagos, he is contesting there and has more stake in Lagos than you guys from Osun villages claiming Lagosians.
Get that?

Omotola Jalade Ekihinde has 3 strong Yoruba names but it didn't stop her from being a success in Nollywood.
For those claiming Nollywood is tribalistic.

oboman: The problem people have with Desmond Elliot's political ambition is Lagos State is because he hasn't been true to his identity.....

I never knew he is a Yoruba man until I clicked on this post, which doesn't bode well with Nigerian politics, where identity matters more....


People who are accusing Desmond Elliot are accusing him based on his sudden change of name when he sees fit.... Why hasn't he embraced the ''SOLA'' name in Nollywood? Is it because he is scared most Igbo producers in Nollywood won't pick him for roles?

Is he just a trickster that appears Igbo when he goes into Nollywood and appears Yoruba when he intends to go into Lagos politics? This is why people don't trust him and not because of his mixed heritage...

So the Igbo producers that picked Omotola, Olu Jacobs, Akintola and other Yorubas in Nollywood didn't notice their Yoruba names? You are just a bloody tribal bigot, no need to pretend about it, it is nothing new on Nairaland.

akumada1: The killer may come from same party. It can not be conclude as his opponent.

The Plebs cannot reason that he also has opponents within APC.
Anyway, his party isn't my business but this kind of rubbish shouldn't be happening in Imo state. How do people even allow themselves to be used for something like this?

ramdris: I have one question for Keshi, what's he basing Mikel on? Club performance or national team performance. Cos to me, he is failing in both.

Maybe training performance hahaha.
Mikel has been shyte fo as long as I can remember and he infects others in the team like ebola.

folu4real: na wa oo there must be something behind this oo Kenny Saint brown, Kate Hashew, 9ice now Desmond Elliot. National cake thing. May God help us.

Julius Agwu, Bob manuel Odogwu too

Chinoelects keep up the good work.

iconize: You're still dumb and primitive no matter how hard you try to elevate your tragic self.

An intelligent and modern person will allow women settle their rifts.

But unfortunately you're heavenly dumb, hence the interference in a matter concerning ladies.

Please ignore that guy at least on this thread.
Don't let the evil being achieve his aim.

2 evil men from the left hand side of the Niger are already here to supervise the destruction of this thread.
Ngwakwe ban all derailers.

Spyder880 please I agree with your challenge but let it be on another thread, some hateful being from the left hand side of Nigeria have never been happy with the success of this thread and will give an arm and a leg to help bring it down, one of them is already here.
Create another thread for the challenge between you and that Peter Obi Asslicker.
Ngwakwe ban any further derailer.

These are the same hypocrites that castigate Igbos for not ''supporting'' Rochas, the same people that Lable Nollywood an Igbo industry when it suits them and a Nigerian industry when it suits them, talking from boths sides of the mouth must be a virtue in their culture.
I shudder to think of how much more hateful these comments would have been if the guy wasn't in APC. I am sure most of the haters aren't even from Lagos, they might be some of these Osun and Oyo people that always want to claim Lagos yet they want to dictate to a true Lagosian whether he can run for an election in his own state.
How laughable.

bishopstan: rochas is a criminal building inferior roads and also buildings collapsing in the state the criminal man thinking that apc will give him their presidential ticket so that he can use China roads and destroy we Nigerians and also embezzled our money rochas is a thief.




My man go and have your medicine,i can see you're sick[color=#990000][/color]

That is a topic for another day, this is about PH-Owerri road, a federal road. Every right thinking Igbo man should condemn the FG for leaving the road and other FG roads in the south east in that condition.
Are you guys cursed or what? Are you averse to development?
SMH

enigmaotr: They haven't and I don't think they'll reimburse him till his tenure runs out! I don't even know why should be having Federal and State roads. All the federal roads leading to my state are in terrible situations and the State Government wouldn't spare parts of its allocation to reconstruct the roads! I think all Federal roads should be ceded immediately

Yeah they should be ceded to the states together with the money the FG keeps for maintenace and repair of those roads. Instead of the FG keeping 52% of revenue, it should keep just 40% and share the remaining 60% among the states, then the states can completely take over all roads in their territories.

addictiv: It is the responsibility of the SG to protect the interests of those living in the state and provide good infrastructure for its people. In situations where the FG has failed to respond quickly the SG is obligated to step in and provide remedy and support rather than waiting endlessly for the FG to respond. I it is well known that one of the reasons RVSG has not been refunded is because of the rift between the Gov and the Presidency. besides during the construction of that road RVSG lost over 70 oil wells to Akwa Ibom and yet that did not stop its completion. I am an advocate of state governments developing their state and promoting its economy by establishing industries. Is the IMSG doing that? they have ISOPDEC, what impact are they making to ensure that embarrassments like these are nipped in the bud. Even the road Okoroacha did which leads to the airport is dualized until you get to the airport junciton. Immediatley you cross its single lane onwards. Is that not a caricature the SG is making of itself. IMSG has always lived on hand to mouth principles and their case is likened to a woman who is a full time house wife while her husband works and gives her allocation, what happens if the man gets incapacitated? Even Anambra has better roads than Imo does, does It also boast of higher allocation from the FG?

It is simple no need for long epistles, this is an FG road and the FG is totally to blame for the state of the road, that is where the focus should be. The failure or success of Okorocha as Imo governor can be discussed on a more suitable thread. I still ask what is the FG supposed to do with the huge revenue it keeps for itself (52% just confirmed it) if the states are to be repairing Federal roads with their relatively little allocations, you haven't answered that question, it reeks of sycophancy.
What is wrong with you Jonathan asslickers?

addictiv: madam are you aware that the FG refunds the state govt after carrying out jobs under the FG jurisdiction? that road goes straight to the state capital and is becoming a death trap. should the SG sit back and wait for FG allocation or should they get off their bottom and get to work?

What exactly are they supposed to work with? Imo state allocation is hardly enough for state projects let alone Federal ones. Even Amaechi of Rivers still complains that he hasn't been refunded the money used in constructing the Rivers part of the road, how will Okorocha be ecncouraged to do his assuming the money is even available.
I ask again what is the FG supposed to do with almost 70% of Nigeria's revenue it keeps for itself if states should be repairing FG roads.
You seem desperate to blame the state government for an FG problem.
Very sad.

addictiv: you spoke my mind. GOV Amechi. did his part up to the state boundary and instead of IMSG to take a cue from RVSG and tidy up its own side,they decide to politicise the whole matter. sincerely speaking Imo state roads re nothing to write home about.

Does Imo state have up to half of the allocation or IGR of Rivers state?
So if every state starts repairing Federal roads, what is the FG supposed to do with the large chunk of Nigeria's revenue it keeps for itself?
Think!

amadice: ....ur a bloody liar, where in imo state is dis, i currently reside around OBINZE and i go to UMUAGWO often down to PH....stop castigating GEJ...perphaps no construction company will like to construct any road during raining season cos its waste of resources. Common sense should tell u dat rain falls most every day here in imo...

You are a foolish sycophant, that road has been like that for more than 2 years now, it has seen at least 2 dry seasons yet nothing has been done.
You guys should stop being wicked to yourself in the name of supporting GEJ, use your support for him as a bargaining tool to get what you want in your states. How can one possibly defend the FG for a road that has been bad for that long.
