Bush will actually write a-i-r-a-k out of spite. . . just like he gave gave "French Fries" the baptism of "Freedom Fries". . .

Highlighted above are the three major causes of Nigeria's woes (disregard intentional mispelling by poster. that's what they do to one another. ).
SOLUTION: complete extermination of the species

You sure have a bizarre sense of humour. . .

[quote author=onye_ngbu link=topic=181060.msg2918248#msg2918248 date=1223562138]@grafikdon,

they might pronounce a-i-r-a-k but they wont write it that way. They will write iraq.

When someone goes to the extent of writing those things wrongly, its usually intentional.[/quote]You do have a point there. Saying it and writing it are two different things, however I find it very irritating when people who actually know better come to TV and say "a-i-r-a-k". It is also true that those who write it do so intentionally.

tpia:
the language used in the quote I posted isnt that much different from Quotasystem's hate speech either. I can also dig up similar instances from his posts here. If someone abused him, it most certainly wouldnt be just because he mispelled Yoruba.

For someone to feel it was only because he spelled Yoruba wrong, that people got upset, still has me shaking my head.

I think you are misinterpreting the poster. My understanding is that he was talking about people knowingly writing the wrong term. The reference to the ''abuse'' was to illustrate that some people do find it offensive (and they have every right to do so).

@Tpia, I believe the guy was referring to a thread where Quoyasystem intentionally used the term "Yoruba" instead of Yoruba and not the thread where some Doudle ID Southern slowpoke masquerading as a Northerner with his fabricated "bad English" used the term "Yuruba".

Nevertheless, it doesn't take away the fact that most people who should know better insist on using the wrong term. This thing is just like picking your nose or scratching your butt in public. I am not sure there is any law against those but most people shy away from them because they know that people around them find those things (scratching your buttocks and picking your nose) repulsive/offensive/disgusting. It's not just about using the erroneous terms "Ibo" or "Yoruba", I have heard people in this Country say A-i-rak when they know fully well it is pronounced I-r-ack (Iraq). . . the list is endless.

KarmaMod:
Of course it does. ESPECIALLY when they don't even SOUND British. Halle Berry disgraced herself in XMen when she was asked to play the part of a Kenyan and sounded like a bloody Jamaican. don't know why they couldnt just get a pretty Kenyan lady to play the part

Yoruba movies that have stories involving other tribes USUALLY use a person from that particular tribe

Nollywood needs to get themselves together

. . . Or those irritating people who think by muttering a bunch of incoherent gibberish they are speaking "African". . .

there are yoruba films and there are Hausa films.
Igbos are not falling over to act there
Nollywood developed from Igbo films.
Igbo story lines and igbo exressions are still being used.
People will always complain when they can go develop their own industry and leave Igbowood rather than complain to high heavens
Aba made,Igbo jeep,Igbo computers,Igbo this Igbo that
haba!
should we die for that soured akamu clled Nigeria and Nigerians
leave us alone
leave us alone
Tyler Perry did it in America when he was denied a place in Hollywood.
He started "atlantawood"
anyone that feels discriminated against should start their own industry.
This is afterall a private enterprise
they are businessmen
and have a right to do what's best for the business
obviously they are selling
I've seen several movies wih tons of non Igbos .
Nonsense[/quote]In addition, a lot of Nigerians are so ignorant/nonchalant/unreasonable/malevolent/mischievous that they brand everyone across the Niger ''Ibo". In their delirious minds anything Produced by Amata, Ejiro, Imasuen, Isong is branded with the derogatory name "Engligbo film".

look at Deepzone typing "Ibo'' all over the place when she knows the real thing is "Igbo". . . 

blackspade:
ROTFLMAO @ 419ja!!!!

On a serious note, I've noticed more people are paying attention to the fraudsters that originate from Nigeria, and nowadays you even here mainstream American comedians joking about themselves receiving 419's in their e-mail.

It creeps up in American TV shows. Once you hear the name "Nigeria" just think "I go chop ur $$$" because it won't be about anything positive.

Imbeciles are everywhere. . .

But are we sure that nutcase is not an American on vacation?

JosBoy4Lif:
Igbo people are not even united politically. Can someone please tell me the number of parties that ran in the last election?
How many of them were Igbo, if you want to be united why not add up all those votes from different parties. Large minority is better than a small one at least. But the fact that Igbo's will always have an internal power struggle does not bode well for them running the country for a very long time to come.

I usually stay away from all these useless "My tribe must be president" threads (Like that will elevate Nigga-Area from 9th world to 3rd world status)but for the love of all that is holy, aren't you goons tired of this redundant line? It is overwhelming how you goons expect the Igbos to act like robots programmed to think like ONE, otherwise they are worthless. On the other hand when they finally take the useless and retrogressive advise of you goons and walk, talk like one big imbecilic robot, it will become tribalism accusation galore. . . make up your minds Goddamn it!

Nobody remembers all the retards, thieves, gap toothed malevolent homosexuals, delirious jihadists, sharia and genocide apologists and murderers that have turned this country into something worse than a butt crack for decades but you narrow minded delirious goons are quick to remind Igbos how they are not ''perfect'' and are thus disqualified and worthless. Your ''perfect'' and "united" "non-Igbo" leaders are the greater part of the reason why clueless imbeciles like Mpele would crack deadly jokes at our expense. No wonder Africa is the worst and the most backward continent in the world. A continent where most people know the right thing but will NEVER do it, instead they will twist it and bend it to suite their distorted concepts even when it is obvious to the deaf and blind they are calling a spade an elephant. A continent where people wholeheartedly embrace/celebrate mediocrity, ignorance, malevolence, prejudice and imbecility. I am sure if Angel Gabriel came down masquerading as 'Igbo candidate' you goons will find one retarded excuse or the other.

@Sky, Blue LMAO!!!! "He who must not be named". . . I almost went down in a fit of epilepsy when I saw a deadly barrage of satellite images on a thread about Liberia war. . .

It's not for sale o, na ''AWUFU'' PLC dey on board. . . nobody is going to spend a dime on the series (Both of them). In the end everything will be released on DVD for whoever cares to get the high res version and some episodes too hot for the web

Don't worry, I won't keep people hanging for long. There was a little voice recording issue so I decided had to sort it out first. The biggest voice acting stumbling block will be taken care by the end of this week and after that, I will be able to release new episodes at least once in two weeks.

Okay fellas, keep the thread alive. . .

@Sisikill, the big problem is most of the movie producers see the art of film making through the prism of manufacturing, hence the inclination to knock together a movie in one or two weeks and rush it to the market for a ''quickie'' ermm. . . I was referring to fast cash/profit. I was totally stunned when I gathered from a very reliable source that one of the ''gods''. . . emmm. . . I mean. . . marketers refused to work with Izu Ojukwu because according to him, Ojukwu ''takes too long'' and by ''too long'' he meant 3 months.

In my humble opinion, no serious director or producer will attempt to direct/produce more than four films in one year. I could be wrong but that's just my humble opinion. That is the reason why the likes of Ogoro, Ojukwu and Ogidan do not have dish out 365 films in one year. Spending a little extra time is no guarantee one will end up with a ''hit'' but it sure gives you a better opportunity to fix glaring errors in post production.

Yaradua is a sharia apologist so I am not surprised regarding his romance with delirious jihadists. . .

Mpele:
Nominate me as I'm not Nigerian. I won't take sides. Unlike other Africans I believe in freedom of speach. Everbody can say whatever he/she feels about others

It will be easier for Osama Bin Laden to become the Mayor of New York. . .

Scrapping "Nollywood" (I really hate that name but I have no other option) is not the solution. More serious minded professionals should get involved and tilt the balance. That way the gatecrashers and meddlesome interlopers will be relegated to the background where they rightly belong. Sure the ''pure water'' film makers will continue to make their 7 day movies but Nigerians are not dumb, it will be very easy to ignore the crappy movies and embrace the reasonable movies. Naija people sabi better things even though they love to get them through awufu  I watch Nigerian films but I go to Naijarules for recommendations. So far I haven't seen one that will make my brain explode. . .

There are lots of good Nigerian movies out there (And I mean LOTS. . . plenty. . . Nyafu nyafu) but unfortunately, they get swallowed and overwhelmed by the numerous atrocious 3 day movies with the most horrendous production. I believe Kingsley Ogoro, Tade Ogidan, Izu Ojukwu are some of the few credible pros in the business. . . Tunde Kelani is up there too. I haven't seen his work but considering the magnitude of accolades he receives , I am convinced he's a 'top dog'.

ROTFLOL!!!! I am sorry ayojuwon, I didn't mean to laugh but when I read your post, I thought about those hustler prayer warriors in the buses who unleash a heavy barrage of heavenly prayers followed by the announcement of some goodies that will make your skin as smooth as fresh chicken egg and your teeth as white as cattle egret as long as you are willing to part with some Benjamin. . .

Nothing do you my br-oda/si-sta. . . after all man must wack.

I nominate KarmaMod, Gamine, Ibime, Mckren, Sky Blue, Tpia, $Rhino, Ifyalways, Toshmann, Billymuse, SisiKill, Richyblack (Even though I vehemently disagree with him on Allaaafu Archuba threads  ), Auwal88, Ruby Pearl, Stillwater, Yemmyse, Abagworo . . . my list is long o,

IMHO they are among the people who do not cling tenaciously on one side of an argument. . . and I haven't seen them stuck in  the rancid quagmire of ethnic bigotry like the usual and obvious suspects. . .



@Yemmyse, ol boy ebe like say you don shack sepe. . . abeg no kill pesin with laughter na which one be Quotasystem and MC Usman . . . I don't laugh taya o
