Armaggedon:
inferiority complex is what you're suffering from that's why you can't seem to stop comparing yourself to Igbos.

Since you're claiming dumb, let bring it down to your level using your gotv example. You will never see most actors in Africa magic Yoruba in any other channel. Even the most famous Yoruba actor odunlade has not managed to make a break through in Nollywood because most Yoruba language language actors speak poor English with a terrible accent. Funke akindele with all her efforts has not overcome this accent barrier.

Check out African magic Igbo, African magic epic, rok2 and African magic urban (to a reasonable extent) they feature same people who belong to AGN. This is the nollywood we know. that is why no Igbo will ever say nollywood Igbo, because it's tautology! The only people saying "Yoruba nollywood" "new nollywood" are the Yorubas in the periphery looking for a place in mainstream.

When nollywood was christened, it is on record that Yorubas in the industry opposed it. And they are correct because the obvious different historical paths. Why they refused to name their industry like Hausas is beyond me. Is it fear of failure?
Ghanaians even have a more viable film industry than the Yorubas. You are able to name your movies means you don't have a prosperous industry and you might never act if you refuse to acknowledge the need to build one from the scratch instead of forming exo-parasites unto nollywood.

Yoruba cast ke?
You can't put yoruba actors in movies and expect it to gross in Nigeria mate.
Not all those movies are Yoruba directed too

i did ask if you knew anything about movies.
You haven't replied me.
Now, nollywood is the 2nd largest movie producing industry in the universe, a feat achieved decades ago by yours truly, as a main contributor.
As of today, if you ask the average Kenyan, Tanzanian, South African, Jamaican, Haitian, to tell you their fav actors in Nollywood, 99% of those names you discarded would certainly be there.

Donmobi:
lol.
Mr ibu, Mama G, aki na paw paw.
Now those are what Carribeans are attracted to, they would rather prefer the classics or nonetheless modern films with igbo cultural setting than anything.
Why indian movie sell is because they make movies in their own style same as Nigeria, but since y'all came to the scene, you've been trying to change the pattern by copying Hollywood style thinking, it's more modernized. It's typical of Yorubas. Very "sophisticated" fellas.

Donmobi:
First i must commend your directors, but then again directors don't own or even write the movie.
Then again, most of these so called "yoruba directed highest grossing movies", do not have more than a 6 point IMDB rating, so these movies aren't actually appealing to foreigners. It wasn't like this before, you know?

Donmobi:
funny enough, highest foreign recipients of our movies abroad, are Carribeans, and they seem to like the previous.

Donmobi:
lol.
Ever since yorubas started venturing in the scence, our movies started lacking appeal and fanbase, highest grossing, directed by yorubas? It's like you know little about movies.

unshakablejihad:
superior in what if i may ask? ur towns, cities and villages are filled with slums and brown roofs you godforsaken igbo wild animals lead in open defecation bcux u lots have no toilets.. Yorubas have the least school dropuot while Igbos have the highest school dropout running into millions. Yoruba have toped waec and jamb for over 5 years while the igbos cum up as runner up i could go on and on...

the only tin u lot are superior in, is in international cowardice.

But believe what you wish

I dey on ground

From my siblings alone there's 5 of us
With me being here the longest. Since Bush

I can categorically confirm to you none of us have ever filled out such paperwork.
Same for any of my close friends

Yorubas do not outnumber igbos almost 2 to 1. How many yoruba's schooled with me in grade school? None. N I dey TX not Nebraska.

Is it in the workplace?
Is it in the military?
Is it in the grade schools?
Is it in the universities?
Is it in owning businesses?
Is it at Nigeria functions?

Where exactly does this 2 to 1 gap show

Btw, certainly there's more than half a million Nigerians here

But if you feel you know more than me from Ajegunle no wahala
