Ask hypocritical Obidients

The labour Party is not the only party in the governorship race but you just can't stop talking about the party because you fear Obidients so much.

What's your point exactly

Okoroawusa:
This thread is strictly for wailers

You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting a certificate forger like Tinubu

Tinubu the master strategist in corruption and certificate forgery

Tinubu native doctor is very powerful, he dey shield Tinubu very well . The man don supposed dey jail by now

IbileIfe:
Her fingers look scary.

You people use Lagos influence to deceive yourselves. Do you know that first indegenous rap album was recorded in Enugu by Massai (onye kwulu oto) .this was many years before Dagrin. Mr. Raw, Sloow Dogg were hits in igbo rap before yoruba rap

They also don't want to admit that they've been listening to rap music by Nigga raw long before olamide and dagrin started music

PrimadonnaO:
LOL.

Your comment actually got me laughing for a minute nonstop. 😂🤣🤣🤣

oh I didn't know the comment will make you or anyone laugh . Just my way of playing with words .

These are the best Nollywood movies ever.
All by Yorubas..

Did you know that Nollywood is the world’s second-largest film industry? Thanks to impressive storytelling and premium production qualities, Nollywood films are considered one of Nigeria’s major exports.

This is seen in both their international recognition and heavy revenue. In 2021, the industry was worth $6.4 billion, contributing roughly 2.3% and $660 million to the country’s GDP in 2020.

Here are the top 5 highest-grossing Nollywood films of all time.


1. Omo Ghetto: The Saga
Released in 2020, Omo Ghetto is a comedy directed by Funke Akindele and her husband, Jjc Skillz. It stars Akindele as Lefty, who struggles between the choice of living life in the ghetto with her friends or enjoying the comfortable lifestyle offered by her wealthy adopted mother. It ruled the Nigerian box office for 10 weeks, grossing a total of N636 million.

2. The Wedding Party
When The Wedding Party was released in December 2016, it broke the record of the highest-grossing Nollywood movie. Directed by Kemi Adetiba, the rom-com follows the chaos and drama over a day as a wealthy family tries to prepare and pull off a lavish wedding. The film was a box office success, grossing over N453 million in total.

3. The Wedding Party 2
After the success of The Wedding Party, its sequel, The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai was released in 2017. Directed by Niya Akinmolayan, it’s set across Nigeria and Dubai as a British and Nigerian couple (Deirdre, the London bridesmaid and Nonso, Dozie’s elder brother from the first movie) plan to wed. It grossed over N433 million overall.

4. Chief Daddy
Another Niya Akinmolayan directorial smash was Chief Daddy, the fourth highest-grossing Nigerian movie of all time. The comedy-drama tells the story of the billionaire industrialist and polygamist, Chief Beecroft and the effects on his dysfunctional family after his sudden and unexpected death. When it was released in 2018, the film grossed over N387.5 million.

5. Sugar Rush
Directed by Kayode Kasum, Sugar Rush follows the three Sugar sisters as they discover $800,000 in the house of a corrupt man, Chief Douglas. After the sisters lavishly spend the money, they end up in serious trouble when the mafias come to claim their share of the money. The heist comedy was an instant success in 2019, grossing over N287 million.

you're talking offpoint .

This thread is about who started Nollywood .

Stop deviating from the topic

PrimadonnaO:
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol some people can be so annoying

They bad mouth everything

Ritchiee:
They are all English speaking movies produced by Yorubas.

So which of the films s more popular and generally accepted than "Living in bondage or even Domitila?

Obviously non

igwebuike01:
Just like things fall apart was a commercial success more than all yoruba novels combined. The secret is pan African local content, product of native intelligence

stop arguing with this people

Ritchiee:
Don't be a clown.If you talk even about money,Yorubas always have the highest grossing movies.

All Yoruba films Yet, living in bondage made more money and name than all this films you put out here.

FreeStuffsNG:
You see why most of you are unteachable. Even when faced with facts of history and reality, you are still arguing. What you were doing in Iweka was doing catch up and it was many decades after it started in Yorubaland.
Home videos did not start Nollywood. It was TV that started Nollywood.
This is why ,till date, no single Igbo film even none of those from upper Iweka, can match any of Baba Sallah's Films.
You don't know because you are ignorant to think Nollywood started with home videos or home video production started in upper iweka. It's not true.
The Yoruba will not teach you the real nitty gritty of these things if you are not humble.

They will just watch you. In fact, Aisha said too much. Nobody takes those upper iweka films serious here and overseas. They are cheap and don't even last long. Yoruba started and still own Nollywood

See you that wants to teach some body ? 😂 🤣

igwebuike01:
They are yet to catch up yet claiming owners

She admitted that they messed up at a time and couldn't catch up. the very few Yoruba big actors are limited to Nollywood Yoruba. They didn't have what it takes to break into the generally accepted Nollywood English version.

igwebuike01:
Yet, Desmond Elliot dumped his yoruba name to get a role in Igbo dominated Nollywood

Na Igbo get Nollywood

Yoruba get Nollywood yoruba since they couldn't break into the English version of Nollywood Epic

GoodLife4live:
Dem never even born u our mum talkless u... First televised movie was in 1973... A Yoruba film..

Jaguar in 1978 in bronkin English..
.

What is jaguar ?

Probably one of those stage play that they usually act in primary schools sometimes around 1995

Validated:
Abeg what is the title of the first Nollywood film by Yoruba? We know of living in bondage ooo.

Yoruba don't have any film that one can remember the name.

But everyone remembered Living in bondage

funmijoyb:
So where did I mentioned Igbo?

That's where you're driving at including the OP.

You people are obsessed with the Igbos so much that you want to measure dicks with them at any given opportunity.

Stop this inferiority complex.

The Igbos gave Nollywood life. Even the OP admitted that some Nigerians think that Nollywood started with "Living in bondage" which we all know Actor Kenneth okonkwo was the lead actor.

The lady in picture is pained because nobody calls her for English films except for Yoruba movies .

😂 😆 😂

funmijoyb:
Who doesn't know Yoruba started Nollywood and Music in Nigeria.
South Westerners are the pioneers entertainments including skits and comedy

Una don from Nollywood to music now?

Always measuring dicks with the Igbos .

Inferiority complex

Yoruba started Nollywood yet, most Yoruba actors and actresses didn't break through the English version of Nollywood from baba suwe to Mr latin down to Femi adebayo.

The Igbos gave Nollywood life and since Yoruba actors and actresses couldn't break through the English version of Nollywood probably because their english sucks, Dem kuku create Nollywood Yoruba to console themselves.

EbolaTinubu:
Obi is our president not that drug pusher

and 2 times Chicago university certificate forger

Just like Jumia, Peter Obi is the president that Nigerians ordered for . But, INEC corrupt chairman delivered something different .


The certificate forger and drug baron thief from the most poorest state of Osun will soon be booted out and the right man for the job will take over his rightful place Insha Allah .

Nigerians Love you Mr Peter Obi

Nigerians will always stand by you .

Tinubu is a dishonourable man , he ought to have resigned to go clear his already damned name

What a criminal he s

FreeStuffsNG:
You are Igbo and you are from Owerri, Imo state. You have started your impersonation of Lagos princes again and we will report you again. You are not from Lagos and you are not a prince from Lagos

Face your Osun state and leave Edo people alone
