adeboo,

I've read all that she has written, seems like she's been begging from the first minute she laughed. What else is she supposed to do? The didirin even pushed her aside when she wanted to greet him as he came to the house. What else should she tolerate in the name of appeasing someone?

People say that she should get others to beg on her behalf, meaning she would have to tell these family members that she laughed at the message? Who wants to hear that? If anything they will probably join him and make things worse. I personally dont believe in letting family members in couple arguements, neither do my families. They hardly ever end well.

2. Where was he when his mother was making all that ruckus the last time she came? Why is his sister now closer to him than you?

Make your own plans to go for the burial if he wont take you along . . . another bad mistake to make would be to NOT attend that burial.

Obviously no where to be found as usual. Nonsense. But I do agree she should get her own ticket for the funeral before they say she's behind everything.

If you husband wants to keep acting like a child, let him continue. Go to the funeral, pay your respects and leave him be. Let him cool down on his own. You've obviously tried to make it up to him, does he want your head on a platter? Make I hear word jo.

Your hubby is taking it too far. There had been instances even at the mention of a misfortunes, some people breathe out their grief by laughing, besides, your laughing even though uncalled for, should not be taken so seriously as he has done. Something like, "and you think that is funny" should suffice from your husband, and that would gear your consciousness. Methinks, the task of sustaining the pillars of your marriage rests on him, this incidence, to me, is not serious as long as there is love between the two of you, and to me, it is a situation where when one apologises, the other spouse should forgive and forget.
Be troublesome in going home with him by all means, because if this matter is not settle now, it will continue to breed so many other things, just like he thot you should not have gone to office the second day. If need be, call people who can talk to your hubby to talk this thing over with him. I wish you all the best.

I agree. Some people laugh at morbid things out of nervousness, you laughed at your husband's cousin's exaggerations of the situation. I can see how he could be offended but he's being a little child now by holding malice about this since.

Very soon he'll make you cut your hair to prove yourself.

No.

so because your friend is dirty, his gf is supposed to wash his clothes for him?

Ever seen what happens when you wash a pig?

ajisafe, please dont add to the idiocy in this thread. Let them say whatever they wish. I personally dont care about their hatred or frustration for the "ngabti" people, this is about films.

Lol typical Nigerians. Even in arguments, they still ahve time to advertise themselves

cris ninge, when you decide to write in English AND make sense at the same time, maybe I'll read your trash.

what is with you people missing burka food in Nigeria?

Do you not have family? How is burka food better than your family's? sheesh

toyin, you can have him. Like a typical Californian, Sweet T is an ashawo.

They look like they have Aids.

I miss puff puff

Jo you can get/make that heartattack here, jare.  

davidylan:
I miss church . . . here u can't clap, can't dance, can't yell at your pastor.

Someone hasnt been to an "akata" church before

I miss my mother's family.

I also miss church, dont like the ones here.

I also miss watching football matches and being able to scream on the top of my lungs without the police banging at my door.

Good to see this thread is now completely off topic

Good job you guys.

but from my experience, most actors don't like it at all; they got into the business because they enjoyed acting--playing different parts and challenging themselves to do new things, not to be automatons stuck in an endless loop of rehash and recycle.

I agree with this. Denzel took on Training Day & Man On Fire cos he was always casted as the "good guy". That's also why he finally got the Oscar cos Hollywood finally saw him in a different role even though he should have gotten it for Malcom X no matter what.
The opposite is the case for Robert Deniro that was constantly casted as the mobster which is why he took on Meet The Parents
Jim Carrey was ALWAYS casted on the funny buffoon, til he finally took on The Mjestic and The Truman show, same with Will Farrell with Stranger Than Friction.
Most serious actors try to avoid typecasting, even if they do a certain role they look for ways to mix it up which I respect,. In Nollywood they just dont care.

Btw Love, Sex & marriage is a terrible movie. Fred Amata should retire and leave the industry alone.

Who's trying to insult you? Just saying if you'd appreciate it if your girl went around asking obnoxious questions about your tribe. Wanna know about Edos, ask her family or read up on them. Why go by what bitter people have to say? Nigerians are nasty people in general, anyone that is not of their little group is horrible in their eyes, why would you want their opinion?

You still havent explained what you meant by "the odds of, you know what I mean"

kpomkwem:
Finished movies should be REVIEWED before selling to the public. A lot of Naija movies have horrible sound quality, it makes me wonder if the directors, producers, editors, etc actually watched their movies before selling.

In a lot of Naija movies, I can see the microphone hanging above.

Enough of movies where the only way to become a millionaire is to be in a cult! How about a movie where someone became a millionaire by investing in real estate or winning the lottery!

In Naija movies, why do parents call their children "my son" or "my daughter"? I don't know any mother that calls her daughter and says "my daughter, go and get me something, ". Don't they normally call them by name, instead of "my son" or "my daughter"?

At the Nigerian reunion in Atlanta, they did the premiere of 30 Days with Genieve and the director was also there. Luckily it was a test screening and the sound was terrible, you could barely hear anything plus when people were talking, they would play LOUD music in the background so you could barely make out what was said,. After the movie, alot of people complained about that issue and the director said she'll do something about it before they sell it publicly.

They should do more of such things in Nigeria before they put out the final product.

I totally agree with you that a millionair is aloften shown as having dubious means of making money. If anything it's worst for the girls as I've never seen a movie where a girl is shown as having money/independently wealthy without them implying that she's a hooker/aristo. It's very disgusting.

Lmao I thought I was the only one who noticed that whole "my daughter" rubbish too. It's so sad

CALIBOY:
I copy you guys and it just strange that i can`t ask her everything about the Edo people, [b]especially the oddz u know wha a mean[/b ], ! moreso,i don`t live in Naija to get to grab more yans about this tribe, maybe someone out there could help me out, ! I might sound grotesque but remember, we`re all Africans, once in a while, those cultural tribalistic sentiment sometimes tend to raise them ugly heads n i guess, we just can`t overlook them.A CALABAR BOY IN THAT MATTER, ! no fears people! I think i love the chick n we live same city,

Go in depth on the bolded part cos we dont "know" what you are talking about

I wonder if your girl is out asking people if it's true that your kind eats human and dog meat.

Seriously put this so called engagement to the side

jammin' quit being a bitter bastard. It's not "cute" anymore.

faketan:
I think what she is trying to say is that using our local languages in movies helps us more express ourselves in the best way possible knowing that when we use the language, the tendency is that we portray our traditional background better than trying to portray the English culture.

Im glad you know how to read and understand. Hopefully your brothers will learn to do the same without whining about "ngbatism"

Apparently you were raised around prostitutes, olydimwitted which is why you know so much about them

Now I see why you are so angry and frustrated with your life 

All shall be well, just remember even though no one else loves you, Jesus does 



As for you germannig, the whole "I am a victim" act doesnt work on me. How about you explain what that article has to do with the topic at hand.

Germannig:
While not wanting to be drawn into the cesspit of nairaland tribalism,

Dude stop fooling yourself. You just added to it with your irrelevant article and the dumb comments that followed

as for "na culture people wan chop", it's mentality like this that is killing Nigeria. Very soon you'll be changing your surnames to "White" because an English surname is "easier to pronounce"

arent the ones that get paid so much, banned most of the time for inappropriate behavior? I don't remember actors from back in the day ever getting banned, Bob Manuel, Kanayo, Franca Brown and such

Btw what does that article have to do with the original question?

actually you have to be 5'9 to work high fashion which is why none of those midgets on American Top Model ever get any real work.

less than 5'9 is for cover girls and commericals

If I were getting married in 2 weeks, you better believe my ass wouldnt be on Nairaland right now, more like going crazy with plans

Are you doing it here(The states) or in Nigeria?

olydim:
Now you have agreed that language is not the only culture, and at the same time, you have insinuated that Yoruba movies are better than the English movies (made mostly by Igbo) basically because of the language difference. Abi? You are a lost cause and hopelessly so. Please can you tell us what in the Yoruba movies make them better than the English movies? After all the rigmarole, you have managed to expose the bile of tribalism that you have tried to hide thus far.

Olydimwitted, I can only pray that the demon that is bothering you this New Year will finally leave you alone. or not. Either way you are a tormented soul

Can you see that you can't answer a question straightword. Typical Nigerian yahooze. We are talking about Igbo movies, you are busy saying bullshit about something else. STAY ON TOPIC. We are asking for Igbo movies back because come of us believe movies where the actors speak their native tongues tend to have better acting and the crap you have to respond with is tribalsim? Are you insane? What is wrong with you? Abi ori e daru ni?

I'm not you. I'm not jealous of anyone so I don't need to adhere to tribalistic tactics, unlike YOU I have not said a word about your tribe. You however I can quote various places in which you're said all sorts of garbage or have you forgotten your ever so lame "Benin slave" comment? Yet you have the audacity tio try to act like some tortured victim now?

You're not smart, ok. Try your reverse psychology nonsense on someone with the same single digit IQ as yours. Someone who would fall for that crap ok?

Again, compare the acting and story lines of indigenous Igbo movies to the Nollywood ones and see for yourself which one is better.

If you don't intend on sticking on the topic of FILM and rather run your mouth about your hatred for the "ngabti people" then please don't respond to me anymore because I really don't care to hear about who stole your bread. Ok? Thanks.

*yawn* you are indeed a waste of life. What am I saying, what are you saying. Jst running around the original question like a typical scammer. Since you apparently CANT answer the question of the thread, get the hell out instead of going in circles asking stupid questions.

Oponu, language isnt the only culture but if you compare the acting of Nollywood to that of either indigenous Igbo movies, you'd see that one is better than the other for that obvious reason which is why some of us perfer them to the gabage that is out now. Alailojuti.  

ndubest:
repetition of foreign movies with different title should be discouraged

I pray that someone listens to this one in particular

olydim:
FYI, for obvious reasons, you will not find Igbo films in typical Yoruba enclaves such as Ibadan, Abeokuta, etc,

Again like I said before, stop making foolish assumptions. Same way you assumed that the french are only known for "soap operas" when any idiot knows their movies are WELL REGARDED in cinema and have been for decades

I went to International School of Ibadan for secondary school, that is not in the East in case you didnt know. I used to watch Igbo movies all the damn time, like I said before I even own some so stop with the ridiculous excuses. The question is why don't we see them around anymore. It's one thing if there were NEVER in "Yoruba Land" but they were, now you are telling me they are now exclusive to the East. Why? Why can't both the English and Igbo movies be sold in places other than the East? That is question the pamela and I are asking that you guys have yet to answer.
