Black Americans/Afro Caribbeans by African family names? Wanna try place names? Wanna try historical figures? I can if you want. Mind you, all I talked about was Igbo soft power, not sizing up to anybody, well, initially.

Still waiting on the list

FreeGlobe:
Igbo TV is up and running and even more profitable than the yoruba station. Anyway, whats the need for an igbo stattion when Nollywood is 98% Igbo

People like Omotola and Mercy Johnson, Segun Arinze, Desmond Elliot etc who really made Nollywood are non-igbos

ezeagu:
Not really, these film factories are making multiple returns on their investments.

lmaoo which companies?

Investment spent on overpriced low quality actors/actresses?

ezeagu:
Well, not very much it seems, some of those films are grossing less than the production cost...

You say so huh?

Funny how they're still making more money than their igbo counterparts

ezeagu:
Spreading Igbo Softpower you mean.

Just as Americans who produce movies spread black power?

We're making money out of your past tragic suicidal mission.

nwanlecha:
But even your Yoriwood actors recognize that your industry is different from Nollywood now. You don't seem to be proud of your Yoriwood, why?
By the way, I don't appreciate the way you bastardize the name of my tribe, calling us 'yiibo.' That's not nice.

Really? of course Yorubawood is different from Nollywood (Yoruba language and English Language). However, Yoruba producers are rocking the English movie industry too

The top Five movies are about Igbo/Biafra issue...

Really?

Yoruba movie producers gaining money out of civil war?

superstar1:
Majority of their ladies are not proud of their igbos names -- igbochume, shidinma. shindodo, shinyere etc


Most of them are always changing their names once they enter Ekenedilichukwu bus that is SW bound -- Cassandra, Maureen, Isabella, Benita etc.

Bunch of clowns.

lmaoooo ...... that's their prostitution names

List them abeg

Try all the places you like

ezeagu:
There's no disunity on the Enugu thread, very opposite actually, check for yourself. And there was no name calling of other regions/peoples needed either to bolster the visibility/page count of the thread (I see).

No disunity?

Even igbos can't agree on Biafra

You really want to compare cultural institution and western yoruba vs igbo names?

Ngga serve. The list of Yoruba wanna-bes and Yoruba cultural center all over the world is too long to provide

ezeagu:
Which fight? Or are you talking about Abagworo and Chino? Two political bloggers? No one has insecurities about far flung places on those threads anyway.

I'm talking about the disunity on your threads

chestbeating > project discussion.

But who cares about that? Let's discuss BBCYoruba

ezeagu:
Yoruba guys making money promoting Igbo soft power? Cool, who minds?

Which igbo soft power? lmaoooo

ezeagu:
Maybe the Enugu thread can be your template because not even Calabar is discussed there. That page is too busy with Enugu/southeast project's.

LMAO projects or fights

nwanlecha:
So now you want a stake in Nollywood? You no well!
Abeg, stick with your Yoriwood, just as ndị Hausa are at peace with their Kannywood.

we've always had stake on Nollywood.

ezeagu:
[size=18pt]Those films aren't typical Nollywood films[/size]. Obviously. The Nollywood of legend are the ones that churn out films in a week.

No they're not. They're better than the garbage igbo producers spit out : Quantity over Quality

But they're still classified as Nollywood

ezeagu:
Shymm3x, why is this handle mentioned in the 'Commonwealth' thread. You did that on purpose, right? And on that note, why is the last 30 pages of that thread dedicated to Igbo people? For gods sakes.

https://s28.postimg.org/k52qlf2tp/conan_frustrated_annoyed.gif

When we discuss

1) Problems in Nigeria/SW

2) Crime in the SW

Of course we'll discuss you. no be so?

superstar1:
You made nadal popular. The only thing you made popular in Nigeria is drug trafficking and every form of other crimes.

I repeat, Nollywood comprises all the films being produced in Nigeria whether Yoriwood or Kannywood or Biafraudwood. If you want an exclusive film industry, chill till your fraud of a nation becomes a reality.

[size=18pt]How can youw own Nollywood, when the majority of the top 20 grossing movies are from SW[/size]


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_Nigeria

Y1bos can lie....jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Igbos like to lie to themselves...... it's not their fault, Yorubas have been staying quiet.


Yorubas own both Yoruba language music industry and Nollywood.

ezeagu:
Anyway, who cares about Nollywood, let's move on to literature...

Hehe. Evil laugh.

Just kidding.

Go there na.... Do they in Igbo? How have they saved the igbo language from extinction lol.

Igbo power?

lmaoooo You mean movies with horrible plots?

Better thank Yoruba movies producers like Kunle

nwanlecha:
But your brother already made it clear that y'all have your own movie industry now. I only helped him out with the names i.e Yoriwood(for Yoruba) and Kannywood(for Hausa). Be proud of your industries biko, stop attaching by force to our Nollywood, just because we've made it popular.

stop that nonsense..... Yorubas also own Nollywood

Our movie producers spit out movies that makes nollywood relevant.

These useless igbo raggmuffins don dey regroup on hangout/whatsapp

nwanlecha:
Heyaaa! So you prefer to recognize foreign movie industries instead of Nollywood, an industry that has shed a great deal of positive light on the African continent, just because it is owned by Ndị Igbo? Jealousy go kill you oh!

Nollywood has no quality, it has nothing to do with recognition. Igbo producers make movies that kills grey cells. Thanks to Yoruba producers, we occasionally have a breath of fresh air.

I only watch Yoruba and Nollywood movies. Yoruba movies make more sense.

ezeagu:
"The Nigerian film industry is undoubtedly helping create jobs in a country with an economy that relies mainly on oil and agriculture. Over a million people are currently employed in the industry, making it the country’s largest employer after agriculture. Although Nigeria’s economy will grow by 7% this year, according to the African Development Bank, insufficient jobs for a growing youth population continue to be a huge concern. - See more at: http://www.un.org/africarenewal/magazine/may-2013/nigeria%E2%80%99s-film-industry-potential-gold-mine#sthash.5FYNfUOS.dpuf"

Get your red nose and dance now, Clown!

Yet the Yoruba producers are the ones making most of the money

jstbeinhonest:
Davido has more fans.Lol,TF,Aye and Dorobucci were released last year ooo.Yemi has even started singing yoruba songs.

No mind them.... ..... Igbo artists use the Yoruba language to make cheda because Yoruba is sweeet and widely spoken.

Is the English language the cause of Igbo's new drug pushing business?

Yes, our Yoruba movie producers are making money
