Here's a documentary on Nollywood:

This is Nollywood

Nollywood, Nigeria's booming film industry, is the world's third largest producer of feature films. Unlike Hollywood and Bollywood, however, Nollywood movies are made on shoe-string budgets of time and money. An average production takes just 10 days and costs approximately $15,000.
Yet in just 13 years, Nollywood has grown from nothing into a $250 million dollar-a-year industry that employs thousands of people. The Nollywood phenomenon was made possible by two main ingredients: Nigerian entrepreneurship and digital technology.
In the late 1980's and early 1990's, Lagos and other African cities faced growing epidemics of crime and insecurity. Movie theaters closed as people became reluctant to be out on the streets after dark. Videos for home viewing imported from the West and India were only mildly popular. Nigerians saw an opportunity to fill the void with products of their own.
Experts credit the birth of Nollywood to a businessman who needed to unload thousands of blank tapes and to the 1992 video release of Living in Bondage, a movie with a tale of the occult that was an instant and huge-selling success. It wasn't long before other would-be producers jumped on the bandwagon.

Meet 'Nollywood': The second largest movie industry in the world

by Jake Bright JUNE 24, 2015, 10:25 AM EST

In 1992, in Nigeria, electronics salesman Kenneth Nnebue shot a straight-to-video movie in one month, on a budget of just $12,000. Living in Bondage sold more than a million copies, mostly by street vendors, and Nollywood – Nigeria’s movie industry – was born.

Al Jazeera

Nollywood also tries to pin down the origins of the industry - including the contributions of the founders of Nigerian film, Hubert Ogunde and Adeyemi Afolayan (also known as Ade Love) [/b]and their 1970s travelling cinema; to the collapse of the film industry [b]and its rebirth as Nollywood in the mid-1990s, based on cheap VHS technology; and the part played by the 1992 film Living in Bondage, which established this new Nigerian way of making films.

macof:
Smh. There's nothing like Yorubawood. . That's not an official term. Yoruba movies are counted as part of Nollywood.

I'm really tired of the denial. It's obvious "Nollywood" refers to the Nigerian film industry, this industry began with people like Hubert Ogunde, Ola Rotimi. .these are the pioneers of film making in this country since the 60s. Living in Bondage, Asiri Nla and others from 1992 were improvements on what was already on ground.

The name "Nollywood" didn't even exist until the 2000s..just in case you are fixated on the name
why then should we be calling Living in Bondage the beginning of Nollywood?


The Igbos, Edos, Efik-Ibibio, Yorubas and even Ghanaians have contributed immensely to the film industry. It's foolishness to say an entire industry like the Film Industry is the work of Igbos. .thereby discrediting Kunle Afolayan, Lancelot Imasuen, Amata family etc Fact is when we speak of quality films we hear non igbo names more often than in low quality films. Igbo filmmakers are known to be stingy with their budget. . Thank goodness for Sensible men like Kunle Afolayan, Charles Novia etc

Everyone knows film making in Nigeria's history started long before the 1990s. If someone wants to be thorough you can also included the colonial films that were produced in Nigeria and did feature Nigerians in them.

The Nigerian film industry started in the 1960-1970s.
What we call Nollywood started in the early 1990s.

They are two separate things because until the 90's Nigerian films were not widespread in Nigeria and we're mostly limited to Nigeria.

It wasn't until the 1990s that Nigerian films had widespread spread appeal in Nigeria and subsequently many parts of Africa and the diaspora to a certain degree. Which can largely be attributed to the traders who were mostly Igbo who traveled everywhere. Had it not been for those same traders Nigerian films would have never crosses borders and find audiences in places like Kenya, Tanzania, Jamaica, and co.

Furthermore, the books cited by anyone who has made an effort to write about the spread of Nollywood films will always mention Living in Bondage as the film that started the 2nd wave of Nigerian film making (What is now dubbed Nollywood). The vast majority of documentaries, articlea, books, and etc all list it as being the catalyst for Nigerian film explosion that occurred in the mid 90's and 2000s.

If you can find a source that says otherwise, I would love to see it.

I have no idea why you are so determined to argue that the second wave of film making and ultimately the viability of Nigerian films outside of Nigeria can be largely attributed to Igbo people. Do you always have to be #1 in everything?

ChinenyeN:
First things first, you'll need to understand that there is very little synonymy of mythology across the Igbo-speaking region. Though you may hear the same or similar names across communities, the underlying mythos is sure to be dissimilar. So, if you're hoping to reconcile a single "Igbo mythology", it won't work. Also, most actual mythology can't be found online, because it isn't as simple as looking up "Igbo mythology". Real knowledge of the various mythos is even harder to come by. However, I'm sure some here on NL know enough to share fragments from their own local communities.

I know that. I'm just asking for various mythologies from different communities.

There are the main gods that many Igbo communities share in common like Ani/Ala, Ikenga, and etc. And there are some particular to one region or even one community so I would like to here about those too.

It's a bit hard to find some things online so I hope you guys know more

Here's a story about Ikenga:

Mythology and Fables Featuring Ikenga

According to Ndi Ichie Akwa Mythology and Folklore Origins of the Igbos, Ikenga was the son of Ngwu, and was a bold warrior and fantastic wrestler. He was reputed with the ability of flying from one Iroko tree to another. He was the first living man in living memory to earn the title Ogba-aka ari Oji which meant a climber of iroko tree without the aid of strings. Ikenga lead the Nkwo nation in the first and famous river of sea battle ever undertaken by any nation in the Oji country. Mermaids came to fight for the Edo people and many Ododo warriors rode on the backs of mammoth sharks and crocodiles. Edo herbalists had the power to conjure large stones to fly and ram on the buildings of the Nkwo nations to destruction. The war was intense and lasted one month. For the first time, the use of green foliage camouflage was introduced by Ikenga and his warriors so that they appeared as floating bushes on the seas, until they came close enough on their targets to rout the Edo and Ododo enemies.

Many of the will-o-wisps sent by Edo country were destroyed. When the Edo and Odo warriors saw that they were being defeated and were forced to retreat back to their territories they made a final desperate lunge to grab the only Ndi Ichi Akwa in Ngwu's possession. Ikenga rallied around his father's palace to repulse Ododo and Edo stalwarts. Many casualties were sustained by both sides until Ikenga came face to face with the four eyed monster called Ajikwu akpu isi who had six horns.

Ajikwu akpu isi belowed out his fearsome shriek which thundered through the jungle in repeated echos that the verdue quivered in ominous pulses. The monster roused his fierce rage by scampering round his position as a means of revving up his momentum and sharpening a deadly attacking pulse. The vibrations burgeoned into a nauseating earthquake in the area. He mixed his excrement with urine and splashed the corrosive mixture in Ikenga's direction. Ikenga used his ekpeke shield and in a series of athletic diving and feigning withered the ferocious onslaught. In the same split second however Ajikwu akpu isi had charged towards Ikenga as he snorted and roared. Ikenga sprang onto an overhead tree branch like a huge cat and somersaulted round it to suspend atop on his hands like an acrobatic gymnast.

As Ajikwu akpu isi thundered underneath in his charge, but missed Ikenga's backside by centimeters, Ikenga flung himself on the top horns of the monster. The two combatants hurtled through jungle flora and fauna in mortal battle. Ikenga mustered the last gram of strength in a titanic muscle flex as he twisted the neck of the beast which broke with such nerve shattering crack. There were few groans and whimperings followed by death thrubs and ghostly silence pervaded the vast jungle. The Edo and Ododo warriors were stupefied by the incredible spectacle and in a momentary recovery they retreated in disarray.[9]

I'd like to learn more about Igbo mythology.

Pronouns

Oppa (오빠): For a female's older brother (literally and figuratively) and for older (but not that much older) men whom the women trust. Women often use it for their boyfriends as well. The female equivalent is "Unni" (언니). Men never use either of these.

Korean:

Korean, like Japanese, has an extensive system of honorifics, words usually appended to the ends of names or pronouns to indicate the relative ages and social positions of the speakers. Immigrants to the Koreas often find this idea difficult to grasp, but it is a very important feature of language. Using the wrong honorific can and will cause offense.
Generic honorifics

Si (씨; pronounced shee): When appended to a full name or personal name, it indicates that the speaker considers the speakee to be of the same or a higher social level than themselves, and is most commonly used to refer to strangers or acquaintances. When appended to a surname, it indicates that the speaker considers themselves to be of a higher station than the speakee, and has a "distant" connotation that is considered rude if applied to elders.

Gun (군): Used in the same context as Si but applied to unmarried men/male minors only.

Yang (양): Used in the same context as Si but applied to unmarried women/female minors only.

Keigo in Japanese:

For an example of Politeness Levels in action, see the example below.

Japanese Teacher: Good morning, Harry.
Harry: Good morning.
Japanese Classmates: (gasps of horror and shock)
—So you want to learn Japanese...

Keigo is a Japanese speech register containing the language's more polite forms of address. It is used in formal and ceremonial circumstances, and in certain cases when those of lower social position are addressing those higher-up. For example, shop clerks generally address customers using keigo forms. (A few keigo phrases are used in daily conversation as well.)

Read more: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Keigo#ixzz3qFfmyvC9

Examples:
Kore wa pen da. ("This is a pen", plain)
Kore wa pen de aru. ("This is a pen", plain but formal — typical of written style)
Kore wa pen desu. ("This is a pen", polite)
Kore wa pen de gozaimasu. ("This is a pen", very formal and polite)
Iku. ("I will go", plain)
Ikimasu. ("I will go", polite)


There are different types of keigo, including sonkeigo ("respectful language," forms which express deference towards the subject) and kenjougo ("humble language," sometimes called "samurai language," which express humility on the speaker's part, which is not necessarily indicative of the speaker's social status). Teineigo ("polite language" is a mix of both, a general polite style that doesn't necessarily involve deference or humility. (There are other variations as well but those are not important on this level.) These variations can appear either with different verb conjugations, or with substitute verbs.

Continuing with the "iku" example from above:

Iku / Ikimasu. (neutral)
Ikareru / Ikaremasu. (deferential)
Irassharu / Irasshaimasu. (more deferential)
Mairu / Mairimasu. (increasingly humble)

Examples in Japanese:

Honorifics used only as suffixes

-san
The most common honorific, and the one most familiar to non-Japanese. Roughly equivalent to most everyday English honorifics, it is generally employed with someone of the same social station as yourself, but can be used any time you need to be generically polite. This is commonly translated and most closely related to the English "Mr." or "Ms." However, it's often dropped entirely in translations, since it's used in contexts where any honorific at all would seem excessively formal in English. (Example: high school students addressing each other with "Mr." or "Ms." would come across as overly formal)
-han
Kansai-ben version of -san. Not used very much if the vowel sound of the last character ends with "i" , "u" or "n".
-sama
A term of great respect, one step higher than -san. In fantasy or historical contexts, it's generally translated as lord/lady or a similar term, but since modern English really has no honorific expressing such extreme deference, Mr. or Ms. usually has to do. In situations where there isn't a massive gap in social status between the speaker and the person being addressed, the use of -sama can border on grovelling. However, it has some standard uses: it's a flattering way for a business.company to address its customers and clients; it's used when addressing letters to friends; and a young woman may playfully use it for a guy she has a massive crush on.

Honorifics also used as regular/standalone words

-senpai/-sempai
Usually translated as "upperclassman" in stories set in high school or college, but it more precisely means "mentor" or "senior", depending on context; it is also used in workplaces, clubs, organizations etc. for employees/members with seniority in relevance to the speaker. Due to differences between romanization systems, it can be spelled in Western languages as either "senpai" {Kunrei} or "sempai" {Hepburn}. (Both spellings are technically correct; the former is a closer transliteration of the Japanese spelling, but the latter better reflects the actual pronunciation.) Senpai/sempai can be attached to the end of someone's name or be used on its own.
-kouhai
The inverse of -senpai/-sempai, meaning someone of a lower class year or lower seniority than the speaker. It's not strictly speaking an honorific since it's not normally attached to a name, and it's considered rude to use to a person's face.
-sensei
Literally means "one who has come before". Usually heard in English referring to martial arts masters. Also applies to doctors, teachers, and masters of any profession or art. It is also standard for professional writers who are classed as teachers. In short, the rule of thumb runs thus: doctors, teachers, lawyers, writers and scientists who got their doctorates are called "sensei" automatically; with the others it's debatable. In recent years this has become an all-purpose suck-up word, and is now more often used sarcastically than as a genuinely respectful term. This has brought complaints of Dude, Where's My Respect? from real masters and artists. Those who routinely read the liner notes of manga will notice that this is still used as a term of respect for - and between - prominent manga artists (e.g. "Akamatsu-sensei" for Ken Akamatsu).

I wanted to know if their were such things as Keigo in Japanese or Korean.

Where how words are phrases or the type of words used change depending on who you are talking.

Or how would you address children, adults, professionals, and etc. Like the equivalents of Mr., Mrs., etc.

Wtf? My tears? What sort of sick specie of faggotry is this? It's 5 am in Nigeria, well if you haven't figured it out yet I'm 7hours ahead you mindless wan.ker! Lol! Get to wake up with constant water and electricity mu foot! More of that legendary empty chest beating eh? LOOOL! But like I said I won't let you derail the thread. Well That and the fact that you haven't said anything worthy of a lengthy reply. Because you know...You being so stup.Id and all. But I have to say, this was entertaining, but just for the first few seconds.

https://i.imgur.com/a3VEeOs.jpg

5 or 7 hrs ahead, what's the difference chief? It was still pretty much the Crack of dawn in Nigeria and you were here jerking off to Igbo this and that. It's a bit obsessive bruh and it can't be healthy


I do and it's so awesome. No up NEPA for me As long as the bills stay paid it's all good here. Constant light, no threats of being bombed in my house, clean water (while you are busy pouring detol to bath as we speak). Why would I need to brag about heat and light, and why would you consider basic necessities bragging?

Poverty is a bastar.d.

You already did dude and that's the best part I said very little and you are having an aneurysm. You are literally derailing your own thread and don't even see it. Or you do and can't help yourself. Either way sh!t is hilarious to me.

ZelrothCloven:
Loool! I see what you're doing here. This thread was created to appreciate what my ancestors accomplished centuries ago. But apparently you are trying to derail it by turning this into what ever this is. So I will not indulge you.
But just for fun I'll throw in one more, did I say big? I meant to say ginormous! Don't forget hairy as a lassoo and molded in a shape amazingly close to that of a gorilla. How about you keep denying your horrendous looks, you twirly du.mb fvck. And btw I have nothing against your people, except the...
Forget about it....but there's no denying it. You guys are ugly primitive unaccomplished empty chest beating race of sub humans who would still be running around naked if not for the brits intervention. No wonder they shipped your people in loads because that's what they saw beasts of burden like you are good for, but you should thank the white devil's they decided to spare your race, albeit an exercise in futility.
And if you're trying to pass the second guy for hausa then you must be even dum.be than I thought! Does the clothing style or the way he wore his hat resemble that of a hausa? LOOOL! Like everything you and your race do, another Epic Fail!!!! And judging by the time you spend here, I think your ugliness has destroyed your social life. And btw, I dont have a Facebook or Instagram account du.mbass! I mean I know youre just being a mo.Ron but I just thought I'd throw that in....
Again I will like to dare you to contribute anything useful to the topic at hand? What now? You can't? You're just an ugly ugly man with a tiny tiny brain? Ooh...pay me no mind
I have to say, this is one of the dumbest exhibition of dumbosity I have witnessed in a while.

What am I doing? Right now? Having a good laugh at your expense, which I thank you for.

I never derailed the thread. Ironically you did and continue to do so. But you are indulging me, look at how you are frothing at the mouth.

The anger and bitterness is so strong in you. Like I can picture you furiously typing in pitch darkness (because we all know light no dey as Nigerians say) on your techno phone. Isn't it like 5 am in Nigeria, you really have no life

https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/youre_serious_futurama.gif

And? Your point? Once again what is wrong with a ginormous nose? God created it so why is it bad in your eyes?

So I guess the people I posted are also gorillas, because their noses were definitely not petite. Lmao.

There's only one race buddy and it's the human race and last time I checked slavery touched every ethnicity in Nigeria. So whether it was less or more they still put your ancestor's behind on a boat and shipped it across the Atlantic.

Are Hausa people a hive mind that only dress one way? Hausa people can be found in many places across West Africa. Take it up with Google if it's a case of mistaken identity.

Because you say you don't have one that means it's true right? My friend don't deny your 8x10 glossy I found on the internet lol. If you like I can produce more photos, I'm happy to oblige

Why should I? Seeing you pop a blood vessel over the littlest things is so funny. I love how you can't tell me why I should be so jealous of Kano so you have to resort to barking madly. So cute.

So far nothing you said has hurt my feelings because I get to wake up to clean water and constant electricity. That shi.t is pretty amazing if you've never experienced it first hand (which lets be honest you havent ). And the only thing you can console yourself with is thinking that I'm even half as ugly as you are (inside and out, and then you will have the nerve to go to go pray to God aftewards lIke all the other hypocritical Nigerians). The cruel irony is I don't hate Hausa people, my issue was your attitude not what the OP posted but I mean your igboits has a way of flaring up and fuc.king you over something fierce.

ZelrothCloven:
Looooooool! Of course neither do you. So you're reduced to Hating on pretty much everything. Lool! Nice picture by the way, reminds me of a certain group of people. Gee, who in Nigeria is known for broad chest, hairy and muscular bodies, chest beatings and their signature big noses! Some say these people may not have fully evolved from their previous ancestors hence their primitive behaviour. I guess we'll never know. Haha, but that Facebook and Instagram part got me cracking, sounds like two things a great Igbo man like your self from the mighty Igbo race might be excited about. What have you contributed to the topic at hand anyway? LOOOL! Like I said, hate and a horrid attempt at tribal bashing when indeed you're completely clueless as to what's going on.

Sir, I know you are among the group of people who climax on mention of the word Igbo. And I'm not one to judge, as every freak needs his kink as they say

But if you could stop jerking it off for a moment and remain somewhat lucid, can you explain to me what exactly is there to hate on about Kano? Inquiring minds would like to know?

https://www.awesomelyluvvie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beyoncesipstea.gif

What exactly is wrong with a big nose? Are you one of those sad individuals that pray to be as close as possible to anything other than Black?

Most Nigerians have wide noses, so do most West Africans, and hell a vast majority of Sub Saharan Africans share this trait. What exactly is your point? Am I supposed to feel bad about that?

No one is going to mistake this right here for anything other than wide lol:

Why would I be excited about the fact I found your photos on facebook, it is what it is in my opinion. Thanks for admitting it's you by the way you really need to make it harder to look up man, jackazz from Kano was like an instant match.


Having you rant and rave for lulz is a pretty big accomplishment I think. I didn't say much and have you all in your feelings lol.

I never mentioned tribe or ethnicity once so how did I bash anyone's tribe or ethnicity. However, you have been foaming at the mouth about Igbo this Igbo that lol. I just demanded you to give me anything substantial to hate on Kano about and obviously you can't which is why you are resorting to your most primal instincts of insulting tribe/ethnicity.

I don't care which city is older but I do think it's childish for people to accuse other people of "hating" when all they did was to make a reasonable comment in the interest of furthering the discussion. I don't even subscribe to any group being better than the other which is why I have insulted you (because you are a dumm.y) and not your ethnicity because that's what losers (that's you by the way) do when they don't have much to stand on.

Anyway you are welcomed to bang another one out by mentioning Igbo, too much tension is not good bruh.

ZelrothCloven:
Isn't this a cliché? Another Igbo man claiming superiority or foreign roots. Looool! Jolly good, mate. I have always been a fan of your constant chest beatings, for reasons best known to myself and those who share a similar agenda. All hail the mighty Igbo race and their legendary civilizations and intellectual prowess over all

Superiority about what? You said I was "hating" and when I told you simply there was nothing to "hate on" you've become positively bothered Now you are talking about things that have no bearing on the discussion.

Tell me what exactly does someone who lives in a country where basic necessities are met has to hate on a place where "0" of those things are met? When did constant power become a sign of superiority lmao, poor people things I guess.

Sucks to be you I guess.

ZelrothCloven:We have no light, water, and the highest mortality rates in the world but I am superior to everyone.

I got this from you Facebook and Instagram so don't crucify me o.

ZelrothCloven:
Haha. Seeing as no other source I've checked before making that commenting can back up his claim, he must be hating and so must you.

Yes I truly envy a 3rd world city in a 3rd world country.

I would trade clean running water and constant power for Kano.

What do I need a job for when I can experience excruciating poverty in sun baked Kano.

Can I sign up today?

ZelrothCloven:
Lol! Source? Otherwise you're just hating.

Hating on what? If he's wrong you don't be a d!ck about it and just explain why it's incorrect.

NYC despite being a younger city is the only real competitor to London, despite Paris/Vienna/Rome/etc being right next door to London and older than NYC.

No one cares if whether you started the race before the rest, it's where you end up.

When we reach at least 50 people then we can talk. But it's clear you are animal who survives only on its bases instincts.

Feraz:
I do not think anyone has attributed the origin of Nsibidi to the Igbos. At least, from the people I have discussed it with.

It's Igbophobia, some Nigerians can't help themselves. They can't think straight if they haven't put an Igbo person down at the start of every morning.

Everything she thought she was "enlightening" people on was stated on the first page. So what prompted her comment?

nina161:
I find it hard to understand why any one would. insult me over my comment. I'm not an Igbo hater, I thought I could use this to correct the wrong info I've heard from people. Sheesh.

You should be insulted. You didn't even take the time out to read the very first page of this thread where what you state was already said and highlighted for everyone who reads this thread. You just say Igbo and ran with it like all the other Losers on Nairaland.

It was a comment born out of ignorance and igbophobia. Why make this comment:

Igbos should stop misintepreting history to assert themselves as a progressive tribe.

You exposed yourself.

The only other people talking to you are the voices inside your head. So go have a heart to heart with you imaginary friends and stop embarrassing yourself with your weak sauce defends for your silliness.

Would you even have anything to talk about if not for the same Igbo person, you are fixing your chapped and cracked lips to insult, decided to revive the dying script? No, so exit up out the thread and tell others like yourself to get bent with a rusty wrench.

Sheeesh.
