You know you actually nailed your self while you were in a haste to validate your viewpoint, by saying that the Igbos started the home video craze, because you just agreed to the fact that the Igbos invented Nollywood and still dominate it till this day. The Igbo home videos as you rightly said, kick started the movie industry which we know today as Nollywood, not some obscure drama on celluloid your yoruba grandfathers were making in the 1800's.
Secondly, it will be foolish of me to burden myself with listing the many Igbo musicians who are making waves around the world. That is what YouTube is there for.
Then when it comes to sports, the list of our world acclaimed sports stars are endless. Take football for example, the names Okocha and Kanu ring a bell all around the world.
Need i say more?

You seem to not comprehend my simple words. .. while u deluded folks want to believe only igbos make progressive efforts, I believe all other groups have made just as much efforts notably the yoruba

Imagine a Nigeria without igbo...it cannot be worse than a Nigeria without hausa, fulani, Yoruba, Edo, Ijaw, Efik

When ethnic bigotry has fried someone's Brain you find then making silly statements like "Igbos dominate every field"

As to this movie industry. ..the notion that igbos dominate filmmaking is just a big lie that has gradually become truth to the gullible
I have to state that igbos contributed well with the innovation of home videos... I am that truthful and it doesn't nail my arguement in any way
Unless you think home videos are all there is to Nollywood and not only igbos participate in home videos. . Taking note that since 2000 most movies with high budgets, publicity and quality have had no or few igbos involved (igbos seem to be stingy in filmmaking. ..hence the poor quality and repeated plot due to low budgets and rush)

FYI cinema productions with celluloid were big in the 80s, tourists couldn't but visit the cinema...some of this even aired on TV. . The only difference with what we have now is the availability of home videos. .. movie making in Nigeria began long before home videos. .. and even with home videos it would be silly to believe in all Nigeria igbos alone are involved in home videos.. not to mention yoruba language movies

Pls nobody wants musicians with little following, if not we can just list any Tom Dck and Harry from other ethnicities too

Legends of Nigerian football cannot be mentioned without Ike shorunmu, Rasheedi Yekini

Ahmed Musa, Obafemi martins, Osaze, Onazi, Ambrose, Enyeama must be igbos right?

Otunbatrafford:
Fetishists and their ways. A king dies and to bury him, you have to look for a living soul to be buried a life with the dead king. This is one of the reasons why darkness is synonymous with Africa.

where in the op did it state that they are looking for living soul to be buried alive? Where do you get this from? This is how you dummies lie proudly

tete7000:
Can't people plant camera around and watch from the privacy of their rooms. Abi oro dey catch technology too? I AM a monkey,archaic, barbaric and senseless. If you go find out now many of the chiefs are so called Christians and muslims' o. Suck human blood in secret and attend churches and mosques in daylight.

While the chiefs who indulge in all these foreign religion nonsense are very stupid they don't suck blood. This is a lie told to by the real blood suckers in ur religious gathering

Acidosis:
This is one reason I hate the fact that I'm Yoruba.


I hate Oro and everyone who practices that tradition. I've never obeyed any of such retrogressive and I.Q draining directive right from my primary school days in Kogi state. Whoever wants to die should come and stop me; indigene or not.

You hate being yoruba because you are lost and have only become a common bastard

It goes to show the direction of your life. ..one who has no identity cannot be anything of worth. . A pity

and you want to kill somebody?

otokx:
Then we wonder why Nigeria is not developing?

Its no wonder at all.

Nigeria is not developing because the state is lost, people don't know their origins, they have no regard for what the land has to offer
There's so much self hatred and many with loss of identity. .. mental slavery is now the new order
We do not even look to making local production of basic things that could fetch much for the country

zicoraads:
All because a king died

Yes. Ooni is not just a king but a divine one

searching4love:


Does this has anything to do with the death of that USELESS king The yeye king that received bribe from GEJ in dollars just for his election support E no go better for that king

U lack sense

kanaleke:
It is a known fact that wherever you go,you must definitely see an igbo man/woman......We have this spirit of unquenchable hustling and we are super intelligent too.Just take Nigeria for instance,we dominate virtually all the fields:WITHOUT IGBOS I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE BECOME OF NOLLYWOOD,MUSIC INDUSTRY,FOOTBALL,BUSSINESS,POLITICS....Yes!.politics,We dictate the pace and you all follow suit.I wonder why people call for our heads despite our massive input in the country.IGBO KWENU!!!!

I don't know why some igbos stoop to this level of delusions
So you actually believe other ethnic groups have nt offered Nigeria anything important? You think other people haven't suffered in Nigeria?

You won't admit the importance of the food coming from the north, or oil coming from SS

You talk of Nollywood. .. is it not this same Nigeria that Yorubas began making theater drama and running cinemas with celluloid in the 60s before many igbos knew what a cinema or filmhouse is
Yorubas ruled African film making displaying culture and African values. The same yoruba controlled TV in Nigeria, with NTA Ibadan being the first TV station in Africa...yoruba still control TV and filmhouses in Nigeria.Tunde Kelani, Afolayan, Adenuga are just few men doing Nigerian movie industry proud...
Wasnt until 1992 that Igbos entered the business of film making with pathetic plots of brothers using juju to silently kill each other for money, or woman using juju to snatch someone's husband.
igbos are only dominant in home videos..this however is not an igbo only feet we have countless non igbos contributing


Music? Fela Should be an Igbo man. . Or Davido - africa's brightest star is from Aba
Apart from Psquare who again has international following?
The way yorubas dominate music in nigeria has made non yorubas fix in yoruba words into their lyrics as yoruba is such a sweet language for music

I believe the person above me has dealt on the football and Business part...owning kiosks and shop in ladipo(which you pay rent to yorubas) isn't being a business man

We all know the north are masters of politics in Nigeria. ..igbo don't come close
Even in the 1st and 2nd republic igbos had to camp with the northern hausa and fulani which still met difficult challenge from yorubas

Bonapart:
macof you again? A lady called men of God liars and you come for her defence?

Because that person said the complete unadulterated truth

oderemo:
I think you are missing something here OK, are u seriously advocating keeping that part of tradition that support cannibalism? Reeling praise on tradition that kept our fore fathers is like daily looking at a black and white Kodak pictures hung in the hallways insnt it?
Chinua Achebe's things fall says it all I think.

You have proof that yoruba indulge in cannibalism? Or you just resort to lies now

sweetgala:
I believe the Ife and Benin kingdom are interconnected and even the enthronement of the Ooni requires the consent of the oba of Benin. I doubt the Benin chiefs would be able to announce the demise of the Oba, because to have an empty Ife and Benin throne would create a complex situation

Are you sure? What are ur sources?

funkybully:
Fvcking old lieing chiefs, fvcking culture, fvcking canibalistic oba eat dead oba heart ritual, fvcking oro culture.

Backward set of people living in 18 century.

madness has started

Obasanjo the shameless old man. He should encourage buhari to prosecute him before any other person

We all know that Nigeria is a failed state ..when will all this people face the truth and reality? And do our people the favour of disintegration

fragile96:
he didn't bowed out honourably, we pushed him out, coz he was too slugish.

oya imagine it was ObJ. ..would he have gone as you did the pushing? He wouldn't have pushed you back?

sammyj:
Reading !! Yaradua performed well before falling ill while GEJ at the other hand under performed and clueless which made Duke statement half truth!!!

GEJ didn't do so bad compared to the many incompetent leaders in Nigerian history.

Let's see what buhari will do. ..this is how people were praising GEJ at the early stages. ..I thought we have learnt our lesson

Bonapart:
you are very stup!d.... are you a fool

Just loot at your comment again and ask GOD to forgive you
Calling men of God liars

Even if they lie, who are you little hediot to say such rubbish

I think you should be the one asking ur god for forgiveness

Matthew 5:22
Anyone who is angry will be liable to judgement, whoever insults and says "You Fool! " shall face Hell Fire

edey2real:
And that is why people like you are been scammed by such pastors.

So, you must go to Ori Oke before God answer your prayers.

Big time scammed

Such gullible folks would empty their own accounts to feed the families of these pastors while they stay hungry

rabzy:
If the Oba of benin is actually dead, then Edo pple harsh pass as I think o. That means everybody just code like that for months.

Well we don't know if he's dead because Bini keeps to tradition. ..I just admire them
I wish Yoruba Obas can learn from the Oba of Bini and his royal council in regards to safeguarding the traditions of the land

All these Yoruba Obas put shame on the yoruba nation with their disregard for simple traditional protocol

Pastors and lies are like little kids and candy

Shameless man

kestolove95:
When will dey annouce d oba of benin own?

Bini has succeeded in saving it's traditions from bastardization

deebsman1:
koparo, adegboye no lie now...............thief. You r richer than him, but do u touches more lives than him? The revolution microsoft brings to technology is unquantifiable.

true.

Apart from the benefits of Microsoft. . Mr. Gates uses his wealth to touch lives
He established the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation that has helped so many helpless people with tuberculosis, Aids etc
He donated $50m to the Ebola outbreak

You know how many people have gained scholarships from his wealth?

Not to mention how he has provided labour employment for millions.

He still doesn't evade the massive tax imposed on him

Pls what has Adeboye done? The man just takes advantage of his gullible "children"
How many times has he said "don't give me, share among yourselves. ..give to the less privileged"??

His university alone is so expensive his poor congregation can't afford it

Nonsense Men calling themselves men of God

Well Adeboye has taken advantage of the gullibility of Nigerians.

This people who are willing to give him all their fortune have members of their family suffering, they see helpless children... but whatever daddy GO wants daddy GO gets
Not to mention the compulsory Tithes and Seeds every Sunday

Church business is good business and the amazing thing is the government doesn't tax this business...no wonder we have churches in every street

At least this helps reduce the level of unemployment in the country

Mansa Musa an African man

Haba! Bamboo? As in Oparun? I thought oguro and emu are one and the same.

Emu is from Ope, and apparently Oguro is from Oparun
I've never considered them the same anyway

labamo07:
Bro, you just fall my hands with what you have written here, I have actually been looking for your responses to educate myself on the thread. I am a Muslim and I like to get myself informed without prejudice. I expect you to educate the person that ask question or raised observation and not to be ridiculous. FYI, The Quran has in no way preached/support terrorism.

Good sir, it is good to seek knowledge and remain tolerant. .otherwise if not for the tolerant nature of black people foreign religions like islam would have been met with brute hostility at first sight

But to say Quran didn't preach terrorism is you trying to mess with us here


Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not"

yinkarh187:
i don't think i have to respond to dis cos I know you know d ans urslf. We both know dose guys are just hiding under d pretence of being Muslims.. The same God dat wrote in his book dat killing is 1 of d greatest sin will order some group of ppl to kill anoda? Think my broda
And as for d ram issh... Wen dd u ever see us offering even a lump of flesh to God as sacrifice? We eat it all just for celebration.

They are not muslims?
Go study the Quran

allahu was very clear in his instructions

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And disbelief is worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists)

What kind of deranged religion is this? Kill people for disbelief, disbelief is worse than killing. ..alah will forgive killing cus he's so merciful yet his mercy is so little that he wishes the destruction of non muslims

............

You fool, why not ask urself this. . Have you ever seen a traditionalist offer a lump of flesh to Olodumare?

yinkarh187:
all d elders in my family have wokrn from d dark into d light niqqa. Nd u ask wat wonders we have as a Muslim. PEACE niqqa nd it's very important. PEACE in d sense dat i don't have to worry if my God is hungry so that I'll make sacrifice for him. PEACE in d sense dat i don't have to dance in d hot sun b4 i know my God is not mad @ me.... Niqqa embrace It!

Light? U call the religion of piss light?

What not move to sharia controlled places? Why are those from Islamic countries running away to secular countries?
You call it peace when young people cannot dance and be happy? (Note not indecently)
Where a rape victim is forced to marry her rapist?
Where bomb goes off regularly?
You call this peace?

U call Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Northern Nigeria, northern Kenya peaceful places?

yinkarh187:
lwkm don't make me laugh dude.... Wat dd u event b4 d westerners came to colonize u? Wen d first plane was built you're still busy Killing twins

Smh. Islam has succeeded in wiping ur brain. .. u are so moronic you don't even realize that africa built rich and prosperous nations - Egypt, Nubia, Kush, Oyo, Bini, Mali, Songhai etc

U cannot even spell "invent" ... ur condition is really bad

Now again we are killing twins? So because some small village in calabar was recorded to have killed twins (the whole story was controlled by whites, how can we guarantee its authenticity comin from people with so much lies).

FYI, Isese doesn't ask for the killing of twins, Abiku and Emere don't get killed why twins? Use ur head. . The same yoruba honor twins like Gods but of course in ur ignorance you cannot know this. ..u cannot know about Ejire

I pity your likes, foreign abominations will end up destroying you - islam is already eating up ur brain

yinkarh187:
mfker so ur god is dat hungry dat he need sacrifice b4 he can be appeased? Whatever happen to prayer?

You would do well to let go of the name calling.

No my GOD is not hungry, but nature demands interactions between the physical and the spiritual to maintain balance and order.

But u should give ur advice to ur alah who seems to love ram blood so much millions of Muslims don't fail to deliver... what ever happened to prayers?

deniz8mluv:
...because I the lord ur God, I am a jealous God

Qul huwa'lahu Ahad
Say Allah is one!

The thing is this thread has nothing to do with allah
U have an islam for muslims section that Seun allows you arab wannabes run as you like

What is wrong with You people that you cannot tolerate the beliefs of others?
All these foreign abominations have destroyed the nature of the black man, a once tolerant and peaceful people now killing each other over stupid things. .. today we have boko haram all thanks to this allah

juman:
Hmmmm, thanks for the answer.

But I still dont see the reason why they use it.

To add to my previous comment to u:
I found out that Oguro is made from Bamboo sap.
