Hmm so that's what you call advantage?? To them Africa is just a market for Thier finished products.

Better than those looting Africa treasure

Next is to help repartition Africa according to cultural affinities

ecolime:
Two of the richest countries in Europe- Luxembourg & Switzerland are landlocked.

They are thriving because of their trade alliances. How many cars, tractors, containers, machineries, etc would you be able to import or export by airlifting via Cargo airports? Very limited.

That's why the Igbos should see people of Rivers, Delta, etc. as key allies in their future aspirations. All these bashings over politics won't do you guys any good.

Relationship is key trust me.

Are you people already assuming Igboland as a separate country or what? If igbos are still in Nigeria how can low life minority from SS stop him from using federal seaport?

Omoawoke2:
Ogun far above Ebonyi

Ondo is topping the list, you use super glue gum your eyes

What’s your point exactly. And why should we take away Lagos? Na una get Lagos? Why can’t we take away Anambra from your states

Are you sure you are mentally okay?

Overall SE is least. Stop disgracing yourself

Omoawoke2:
That’s the latest data, the hardship really bad

Southwest is the least affected

Big lie. SE is the least. Infact Abia is least in actual number of poor people but 3rd in percentage. This is not a new data

You said Igboland is irrelevant but pipeline vandalism in Abia and Etche (Igbo teritory in Rivers) is crumbling your economy

No pictures

If you list road transport companies Igbos will top. That doesn't mean others have not be driving cars or commercial buses. But Igbos revolutionized it into serious business with long haul luxurious buses. That was exactly what happened in nollywood

HBB1:
Just admit you were caught capping!

🤣

If you see the hit jam igbo rap playing inside Keke now eh. But you won't know because that are not Lagos based. Later you will use Lagos to claim first

Okechinwadike:
there is some thing i noticed in Nigerian, just like Messi and Ronaldo. Ronaldo compare himself with Messi while Messi compared himself with maradonna. Yoruba people compare their selves with igbos while igbos compare themselves with American and western world

Igbos only compete with oyibo

porthouse7:
if you know AY and lord of ajasa u will be saying this on Sunday

Okay oo. I was talking about modern generation from 2000. Many Igbo rappers before Dagrin but yorubas only know phyno

Irony1:
Name one Nigerian movie before Living in bondage that was a blockbuster that had sales. That was not the exclusive preserve of NTA then? Please stop lying abeg.
If it is theatre production which is a subset of the movie industry, yes it is the exclusive preserve of Yorubas. But Nollywood which is commercial motion picture movies started by igbos with Living in Bondage

It was not the exclusive preserve of yorubas, others were doing there own but yorubas enjoyed Lagos advantage

GoodLife4live:
what year... Bro..

What about dis guy here in 1980s before AY IN 90s ?

I'm sure those who were grown up in the 80s also have same for Igbo rap that Lagos is not aware of. Just like Lagos know da grin in this generation but don't know Massai and slow Dogg and think that phyno is the first Igbo rapper because he moved to Lagos. You get my point?

kay29000:
That's not true. They are all made in Chinese but dubbed in English for international market. That's why their mouth moves faster than the words being said.

Na lie. There are the dubbed ones though but English Chinese village films full ground

streetsoldier1:
Im sure , you are just trying to get noticed.... What is giving yorubas edge is promoting their culture and not promoting English language, check the content of the yoruba movies and the ones in English nollywood.... Movie is not just all about useless stories where the end can be predicted.
Check yoruba music too, infact if any artist must blow in Nigeria, they must infuse Yoruba language into their lyrics to give it a unique touch....

Stop playing, stay humble and learn, yorubas are not chestbeaters

Everybody infuse different local languages. Tiwa Savage, Davido, 9ce etc infuse Igbo too

GoodLife4live:
stop lieing... A. Y Started the rap in Yoruba language in 90s not dagrin

You are not understanding me. There were igbo raps in the 90s before AY but unknown to yorubas that's why they think AY started before others. in this present generation, some lay claim to Dagrin as first because they don't know about Massai who was a hit in the SE and SS. You always use what happened around Lagos as the first. That's my point

Ykc2:
yoruba started yoruba movies for yoruba people only no body know about ogunde in South south or south east we are not talking of yollywood but nollywood,yoruba film didn't discover omotola or some other popular yoruba actors and actresses ,living in bandage is birth of nollywood tribalism no reach there ,when nigeria International known female gospel artists are mentioned tope alabi is not among you tube can help you, for yoruba tope popular

Thank you. Yorubas claim to be dominating music, forgetting igbos total dominace in Christian gospel music

Omoawoke2:
We are talking of who started it, and commercialized nollywood. Well history cannot be changed. It started with Yoruba

And currently, Yoruba movies are the ones breaking the internet and going international. Check what’s happening today. Check the top 10 nollywood movies in the cinemas or Netflix, Yorubas have completely dominated and taken over

How about top ten showing on African Magic? Everybody have their own areas of strength bro

kay29000:
That's because Yoruba people are proud and have always been proud of their culture... And that's why it's their movies that are getting worldwide recognition. You can't beat Oyibo people by trying to be Oyibo. Think about it.

Nollywood is all about igbos culture. Language is a different thing. Chinese epic movies are mainly English. Business first

ElSudani:
There are no more home videos today. So, is Nollywood gone as well?
The lady was right, it all started with folks like Hubert Ogunde, Ade Love, Baba Sala, Jimoh Aliu and others.
The home video time was just a phase in the evolution of the movie industry, it wasn't a new Industry.

But the name "Nollywood" was coined during the VHS era after the commercial success brought by Igbos into movie industry. You can give new name to the streaming platforms era. Meanwhile lion hearts was the first nollywood movie on Netflix

GoodLife4live:
A. Y is the first nigeria to rap in Yoruba language in 90s..

It be like say u be indomie generation... Most of your comments are being generated from social media ...

No physical experience

I don't know about 90s but I'm sure those people had Igbos raps too not know in Lagos. This is my point about how you use Lagos influence to claim everything

Omoawoke2:
Lagos influence Lagos influence

Abeg, na Igbo get Lagos

If wishes were horses, igbos will lift Lagos on their heads and carry it to southeast. Lmao

The point is, if you don't know about something because it's not in Lagos doesn't mean such thing doesn't exist.

foleskay:
You're deluded. Even nigga raw can not claim he started indigenous rap. Go google eddy remedy aka player meji.. Ojb jezreeel. When did nigga raw starr rapping. U re a real clown.

And there are Igbo rappers of those generation too. In this present time, yorubas use the da grin era as the beginning of indegenous rap, but igbo raps created waves for many years before that, just that they didn't move to Lagos till Phyno. That's my point

Omoawoke:
Nobody knows UNN outside of Nigeria

The most known schools are UI, Unilag and OAU. Covenant is becoming known too and all schools are in southwest

Yorubas own entertainment. Even the tv soap operas were started by Yorubas and still dominated by Yorubas

Lol, see this olodo. The world revolves around your brown roof junkyard

Omoawoke:
Says who?

Please how many Indian and Korean movies speak English

Chinese English movies are everywhere. Even with Chinese village setting, still in English language. Igbos are business minded just like the Chinese. We also share similarly is migration and spread

Luambo89:
Onye kwulu Oto was in realeased in 2003.

Yes you are right. Thats 6 years ahead of Da grin. I'm sure Yorubas know nothing about this east coast hit. Later they will use Lagos to claim first. Even the old skul Lagos rap of the 90s he is parading has earlier igbo equivalent they are not aware of

Ritchiee:
lol
So saying the truth is now termed as tribalism.
You don begin cry victim again and do you want to rewrite history about movies,arts,entertainment in Nigeria?

Yorubas taught Igbos acting.
Without acting,no cinema,video etc.

They brought acting,tv,cinemas to Nigeria,so why would you argue with them if they say they are the pioneers?

Without them,there will be nothing like movies in Nigeria.
Please,give it to the Yorubas in arts and entertainment.
They brought it and still ride it like a horse.

Pls,give it to the Swesterners,your leader in arts and entertainment.

Theater Arts in UNN since 1960 nko? Oga, yoruba only showed acting on TV first. They didn't start acting before others

Luambo89:
Guy where is Massai now?

I don know oo

GoodLife4live:
I am talking about recorded type not cinema...

My dad bought his vhs video in1979 from London second one in Victoria island Lagos in 1986.. it was only my dad had dis mechanism in our street in surulere then...

The rich watch on tape then why the poor mases go to the Cinema to watch all those movies...

He was using his VHS to watch oyibo movies
