agbameta: LWKMD......LMAO

u are needed at the Xmas light thread in akwa ibom.
Not all those kirikiri tnz fashola did.

And to all the uninformed ppl on this thread, masquarades are majorly cultural not religious or paganism.
.
@ Rossike, my own creation story did not involve sky diving.
Speak for ur self.

Nightshift: I was hoping to see the big scaring masquerades - Ijele, Okpoma, Ogbangbada, etc .

These are kids masquerades,which looks more like the ones in Rivers state. When did Igbo masquerades start displaying bare feet to women and uninitiated people?

Perikomo is certainly not amused!

Nwoke be anyi o,
I na efu maka mma enyashi?

@ OP, its no brainer.
We igbos know that's what u think, only that it won't work for u as far as 2015 is concerned.
U are moved by cowardice because buhari commanded u to come and join him so that the northerners dreams can be achieved.
After which they wl frustrate u like they did Awo and Abiola.
U guys never learn.
Foresight my left yansh.
OBJ the only proper Yoruba president did not receive any Yoruba support in 1999, so where is the evidence of all the political sophistication u want us to bliv in?
mtchew

And finally Agbameta has been covered with sand

TribalEAST: if it were for the igbos alone, it would have been called igbowood but it is called [b]N[/b]ollywood and the N stands for nigeria just like G in [b]G[/b]hollywood stands for ghana, or do you see the ashantis laying sole claim to ghollywood?

Nollywood is owned by all tribes in nigeria, it just has the yoruba, hausa, igbo and english arm. Educate yourself

We are talking of English nollywood, its owned by igbos.
Mere presence of few Yoruba actors doesn't amount to ownership.
U ppl were the ones saying that igbos now act in Yoruba movies, does that mean igbos own Yoruba nollywood?
.
The only kwanta there is that 2moro, Yoruba will start whinning that igbos want to dominate them in their own industry, u know Una sabi talk that kind insecurity talk.

Ayekotoo: no one disputes these with you. what I believe they are asking is that yoruba speaking movies are more popular/ better than Igbo speaking movies which are even insignificants

Yoruba movies are inexistent in the east while Igbo movies are there.
Igbos in SS/SE don't even know yoruba movies exist,those that are even aware say via dstv don't watch it and don't know anything abt it.

cashkid18: early nollywood movies wia produced in igbo language before igbos decided to start producin in english for it to sell world wide

Even at that, Igbo spoken movies are still produced, and it received a big boost in 2013

Toks2008: Though this is a digression but it was Yoruba films that laid the foundation of Nollywood before the branding talking about the Herbert ogundes,the Baba salas, the Adeloves,the popular Igbo irumole that Igodo copied and so on.

ur ogunde didn't lay the history of the industry, nollywood.
Nollywood as an industry started with igbo spoken living in bondage in 92.
Igbos were making movies before the living in bondage but the latter went fast to the world and an industry started.

[quote author=the_ripper3]Yorubas and their prattling. Omotola Jalade featured on Forbes Magazine is arguably d biggest Yoruba actress and never acted Yoruba movies.

Who sabi all dis bleached up sikira sindodo, ashewo to re Mecca and other lesbians wey full Ofe-m-m-anu-wood?

Even Mercy Johnson of yesterday speaks flawless Igbo and isn't even igbo and bigger than all Ofe-mm-anu-wood ladies. The just concluded BBA had housemates speaking igbo and some African housemates speaking words like chineke, igwe and co. Jim iyke was nearly mobbed the other day in an African country

Which of-e-mm-a-n-u actor is that well known in Nigeria let alone cameroon or Kenya.

Of-em-ma-nu-wood should chill and make movies to entertain their agbero and bleached up sisters. Igbos don't care.[/quote]

TribalEAST: i told you to mention your igbo seasoned musicians that sing purely in igbo then compare them with these guys: yinka ayefele, lagbaja, pasuma, kwam 1, tope alabi, osupa etc.

Note# the above names appear on newspapers, blogs, cable tv and they perform live and win awards home and abroad. Where are their igbo counterparts? Sleeping or non-existing, cos you would have mentioned their names instead of what you wrote up their.

u will easily pick their names cos they are from ur: village.,
ppl in SE don't know them.
Unless osupa is davido, if u read about sunny bobo, wl u register it in ur memory

[quote author=5.00GP]NOLLYWOOD IS NOT OWNED BY THE IGBOS...

OLU JACOB, JIBOLA DABO, OMOTOLA JOLADE EKEINDE, BISI KUDIRAT...JUST TO MENTION FEW... THOSE ARTISTES ARE THE CREAM OF NOLLYWOOD MOVIES N THEY ARE ROOTED FROM YORUBA TRIBE ......

MOST OF YOUR PEOPLE(IBO ARTISTES) ARE SHOWING KEEN INTEREST TO YORUBA MOVIES...[/quote]I think ur case is now irreparable since u can afford to say that yorubas are the cream of English nollywood.
Goodluck in ur fantasies
.
Acting is not ownership btw.
if olu Jacob is acting, does his role go beyond collecting his wages for the igwe he played?
does that mean he owns anything

[quote author=«—M®×L¹MPºPº ™]You're absolutely correct man. I havn't FOR ONCE seen a movie store where they lease/sell yoruba movies in the SE.[/quote]And they want to use ogbomosho to rate whether igbos produce their movies.
Presently, they have started mass production of Igbo movies again.
And they are a lot richer

[quote author=5.00GP]WHICH CULTURE ARE U EXPORTING WITH UR NOLLYWOOD MOVIES? U
NOLLYWOOD IS THE COMBINATION OF YORUBA, IGBO N HAUSA ...

OMOTOLA JOLADE, GENEVIEVE NAJI, HALIMA ABUBAKAR..... JUST TO MENTION FEW

IBO CULTURE IS NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT...[/quote]Igbo culture is the only visible culture in exported nollywood.
Ranging from dressing, food, vernacular, festivals to every other thing.
Olu Jacobs acts igwe, not alafin.
if omotola were to bear a local name, its most likely Amaka.
Its like u don't know how the coverage of English nollywood worldwide.
Its no 1 in Africa to start with.

TribalEAST: hey kid, reason well.
@Bolded

nollywood english section is not owned by igbos but by all nigerians, igbos only dominate. The only section they own is the igbo section dat produces only 1% of nollywood movies according to the source i quoted.

the english section contains yoruba, hausa, igbo, other tribes and ghanain actors but dominated by the igbos. Can such be said of the yoruba and hausa arms? TV soaps like super story, dear mama, everyday people, disclosure, fuji house of commotion, papa ajasco etc all done in english language contains actors from all tribes and the shows are majorly owned by yorubas.

what happened to olu jacobs, sola fosudo, joke silver, femi brainard, yemi blaq, funke akindele, van vicker, majid, yvonne nelson, ini edo, segun arinze, nadia buhari etc who all act in the english section of nollywood? Did they all become igbo overnight? Most of them arent even nigerians.

igbos dont own nollywood. Shikena

ngwa, keep deceiving urself.
Even Yoruba movie makers understand Igbo owns nollywood and talk about it.
The other day, they were a cussing igbos of marginalizing them.
Are olu Jacobs and omotola not in the English section again?
That we accepted to employ ur ppl doesn't mean the status quo changed in anyway.
So, what about the Igbo soaps of Clinic matters, Masquarade, and so many others on TV?
.
My dear, we have mainstream nollywood

paranorman: The easiest in nigeria is either hausa or yoruba.. Talkin from experience mehn..
Hausa sounds romantic, its a one way language..
Why i'd choose yoruba over hausa is because of this reasons:
the yoruba race is the most learned in Nigeria, the language has also evolved over the years.. Its unique in the way it flows with rhymes and beat.. That why musicians sings better in yoruba.. Also, i think all most all hymns originally written in english sang in churches translated to yoruba, when you sing in yoruba still possess the same number of syllable in each line of the song and same rhyme... I am not sayin other languages dont have translations but preservin the number of syllables in each line of the hymn and rhymes of the same song/hymn in english is not always as unique as in yoruba...

The yoruba also borrows words from english language... Just like bible-bibeli; temple-tempili..
In years to come, yoruba generations would speak a language that would have so much integrated into english..

I like Hausa, that language's so romantic and easy too..

All the tnz u mentioned up there is applicable to all southern nig languages

Odenigbo Aroli: This is a big fat lie from the pit of hell. Imo Igbo is the most complicated Igbo! I will say this,the only Igboman who speaks his core dialect and everybody understands is an Anambrarian. I can't understant an Owerri man,Mbaise and even the otuocha people. Igbo movies are acted in Anambra Igbo so everybody can understand. Stop spreading falsehood!

lol at otuocha ppl

TribalEAST: we read newspapers and watch cable TV everyday, how come its only flavor and other yoruba indigenous singers we see? Where are the other igbo musicians? Who are they? Do they sell albums? Are they sleeping? Why cant they succeed in lagos? (succeeding in lagos is succeeding africa). Are they ghosts? Why arent they recognised? Maybe cos they are palm wine joint singers.

Dont mention oldschool igbo musicians cos they've lost relevance unlike the yoruba musicians i mentioned who are still seasoned musicians.

You guys better hold on to flavor and promote him.

And am telling u that u are staying in the village if u think flavour is the only person singing in Igbo Lang.
Who even knows those yorubas u mentioned up there?
U left davido, and few others and went and started listing ur village singers .
And u think igbos don't have their own indigenous singers? are u in igboland?
Who knows those of ur village ppl in the east?

tintingz: My question is why do igbos use english in their movies why not in igbo language??

There are plenty of 2013 Igbo spoken moves in my house.
Who told u they don't make Igbo movies?
If not that I was in Lagos in 2006, would I have know Yoruba movies exist at all. Yoruba movies are inexistent in igboland

tintingz: The rate of comments so far on easier language in Nigeria

• Hausa - 75%

• Yoruba - 65%

• Igbo - 39%

You guys can add yours...

» This are the three populated and most recognized language in Nigeria. Hausa is leading to be the easiest language next to yoruba then igbo.

I agree with u.
On popular consensus, Hausa is the easiest and Igbo hardest.
Dats how this thread shd have gone, not some insecure ppl coming to compare and contrast with igbos

FreeGlobe: ilegun kid what Aurthur Eze said is the truth. Yorubas politicians can go and die. Stop taking it personal. Last time I checked yorubas never made anybody president

help me out

FreeGlobe: As if anambrarians were allowed to vote. Are you talking the same people that voted him massively under ACN in the Senate? Anambra people want Ngige regardless of his party. you saw it play out in the last election

Ngige had his 2003 elections rigged for him too

ilugunboy: Keep making noise....the greatest wish of GEJ today is to have the SW, unfortunately that is a pipe-dream.

You once complained of marginalization....the end of GEJ admin will notch that marginalization further for you.

Enjoy the limelight....this is a make or mar election for you. If you lose.....it's back to political wilderness for you.

Insecurity

An average Yoruba man wishes evil will befall a whole tribe soon.
What a grp of i insecure ppl.
.
anambra local politics dismantled all the political sophistication in APC.
sophistication my foot

gurnam: Where? In Anamabra ? The campaign words used in Anamabra will be GEJ undoing in the SW.

Yorubas politicians will print fliers of GEJ smiling while Arthur Eze was saying those crazy words against Awolowo.

I was talking abt the way APC was removed in anambra.
Moreover, who cares abt the propaganda u are planning against gej?
Arthur or not, did u want to vote gej before

Dollarjunkie: Yet he looks more healthy than ogbeni Rauf.
He was able to stay from 8pm till 6am the next day in the just concluded Enugu road block. And they said he's sick. Jokers

Aregbe that looks malnourished and diseased.

geeez: Just like you were also concerned with OBJ's family affair when Iyabo wrote him a letter

I'm not gonna engage you in an argument on who is better between Amosun, Aregebsola (who are under four years in government) and a Chime (who is almost eight years in government)

All I can debate on are the human development indices in the state and the economies when they took over and now which I can tell that these two men whose names start with A are far ahead

As impressive as Chime's performance is, you left your native Ebonyi, passed through Enugu and came to trade in Lagos. So much for how well Chime's performance is attracting his kinsmen into his state

Same way foreigners leave their lands flowing with honey and come to make profit in Nigeria.
Are igbos not everywhere in the world, what's all these about Lagos?
What abt those that left Ogun, ekiti, Oyo. to come and beg/tout in Lagos.
Are there not motor parks in Oyo, etc?
So much for human indices devt.
SE has two states in the cashless policy, what have u?

geeez: Chime's performance is no where near Fashola's, Amosun's and Aregbesola's

Isn't this the man that tortured his wife till she became chronically depressed?

Yorubas are the worst marriage handlers. Don't go there.
Who are amosun and aregbesola again?

ilugunboy: Funny old man.....

Very irrelevant...he was Tinubu contemporary among the governors...but now completely irrelevant.

Still playing Anambra local politics.

Local politics that dismantled ur sophisticated politics.
lwkmd

phase1: and the 'my d1ck is bigger than yours' comparison goes on. Yoruba! chai!

Ask him how many Igbo singers he knows abt?
If he knows only flavor, then he must be living in all those Yoruba villages called towns.
.
Its better the yorubas in this thread face this topic than using it for another e- bashing object

Ohraybs: I am personally attacking you here,Igbo of all Languages,Chai,my friend igbo is not recognised at all in the world..Yoruba is the most Language recognised in the world,Yoruba is the only course being accredited in Some American Universities for students to go study........Let's talk bout Nollywood aspect,after English,Yoruba Movie is the next cos I barely see Igbo movie in market,xcept ur states,and rite nw sef Yoruba movie don dey take over English sef cos almost all d English Actors and Actresses are comin over to Yoruba...........

Lies. Self consolation, which Yoruba nollywood is taking over English.
Lwkmd.
Do we see Yoruba movies in the east/SS? No .
So stop thinking that what is obtainable in ur land is the sane elsewhere.
If u actually see Igbo movies in ur areas, then u have to ponder on some things u wrote up there.
