The fact is that, paradoxically, it is the Igbonization of Nollywood that has popularized it. Nollywood had been in existence albeit in a moribund state, until the Igbos came in and popularized it via Igbonization.
I believe already mentioned that you used nudity to sell film. Whats new?

Yoruba's started thearte act, but igbos commercialised it with lead to the movie industry which is Hollywood. Hence igbos started nollywood..Yoruba's may have started acting or shooting movies but not the movie industry...that is the difference...

You guys are too dull for my liking
So all the movies made by Yorubas were not selling until Ibo came and started selling them....or what do you mean by commercialize?

We were marketing, distributing and bringing revenue from our products.

Which point of the supply chain were you involved....ohh, i forgot, the piracy!

Movie industry had existed before Ibo knew how to make movie. What we didnt have was internet.

Internet made the access and visibility very easy and at cost savings. But you didnt even create the internet. So where do you fit in when we talk history of Nollywood?

Maybe you crafted the name....which itself is a copy of brand. Hollywood is the brand!

OMANBALA1:
So, because one of biggest movie was done by a Yoruba all of a sudden you dominate the industry ?

Listen, the Igbos created the industry and control all aspect of it till today. From scratch the Igbos developed an industry that is worth over a billion dollars. Without the Igbos no wedding party....deal with that since you want to reason like a senseless person.

Yoruba had fought very hard to claim the invention of Nollywood but it all ends online...lol
What aspect of Nollywood did you create? Please share with us.

Were you the first to make and sell distributed movies in Nigeria, or was the distribution channel created by Igbo?

Were you the first to stage act in theater, or was the theater built, or owned by Igbo?

Was any of your play, act or recorded film the first to be shown in cinemas, or was the cinema built or owned by Igbo?

Were you the first to put Nigerian film on international scene?

Answer me, what aspect of Nollywood did you pioneer?

Jaideyone:
if I take you up on nollywood you will cry here today. the bigger decision makers in Bollywood are Yoruba!!! the best movie so far (wedding party) is Yoruba dominated. ibos just like to make noise!!!
Ibos use porn to get audience and sell their movies.

You can tell from the way their women dress, they reveal cleavage and skin even. In scenes that require modesty, they portray lewdness. Go and review all entertainment magazines and paparazzi photoshoots for past fifteen years and see what im talking about Ibo women. They use their body to become famous and in circuit. Anytime you hear a nollywood actress posed nude 9 out ten its Ibo.

If you doubt me go and review photoshoots of actors and actresses for past fifteen years. They use toto gain fame and fans.

Yoruba started copying but thank God our elders got involved and admonished them.

You are just ranting like a Mad dog, stop been sentimental about this because you are Igbo, it is a known fact that Obateru(Obat Oil) is the richest Monarch in Nigeria if not Africa, stop arguing with fact it's not because am Yoruba that's why am supporting him,it is just the fact of life.

Likewise I can't argue Pre independence Ojukwu's father was the richest man in Nigeria after the death of Alhaji Danttata. It is a known fact no point arguing that.
Ojukwu's father was not the richest in Nigeria pre-independence or at any other time.

Was any black man forcefully displaced from the land when the white settlers acquired them? I doubt it. The whites have been there since early 1900s and this is their fourth generation.
Four generations only! Thats all??

The land and the people have been there longer than that.

Yes they were forcefully displaced. Since white man got in that countey and for over 100yrs after any blackman found living on a primeland or in posession of a prime real estate had to vacate for a whteman or be killed.

There wouldn't have been any problem with the doc owning the property, the problem is that he is not able to maintain the property talkless of turning it into a productive or profitable enterprise like the white guy. If you consider the job n revenue lost to the state you'd understand why the land should never have been taken away from the white guy in the first place.
There are useless white farmers in Europe sitting on hectares of land and not productive. They government does not disposess them of their property. Why should we disposess blackman of his farmland and give to white?

The whte took the land from its original black owner. The white couple have owned it for 35yrs. The country and its land had been in existence longer than that.

They told us how painful it was to be chased off but never shared with us how they got it in first place.

That is what I always say, black man with black brain. It's funny some Nigerians were advising South Africa to seize white businesses n companies after apartheid forgetting how that ruined Zimbabwe till date. The same thing Nigeria did with nationalisation of foreign business and within a twinkle of eye Nigeria became the shiit of Africa from giant of Africa.
Along the length and breadth of Africa, we had rather have a shitty country ruled by one of us than have a fckng white racist controlling and enslaving us on our soil.

They jailed Ibori, they are harassing Diezani for owning a small part of London and living large amongst their elite....but they want o have plantation in Africa and be left alone to control the life of the continent.

Dr Nyatsuru should continue his ownership of that farmland. Thats his eligibility as a son of the soil.

nobilie:
Do you know that it is difficult to find a call center agent who is fluent in speaking igbo? But you'll find igbos in a call center attending to Hausa or Yoruba callers/ customers.
The Yoruba's are greatly accommodating the igbos in Lagos, OGUN, Oyo and Ekiti. So many Igbos are farmers in Ekiti and OGUN state talk less of traders and they can even write/read in Yoruba but can't read an Igbo Bible.

There's a rapid connection going on. I've seen Igbo agbero well known and respected in Lagos among the road transport workers NURTW.
It is clearly happening.
We already domesticated Ibo, like the dog, Ibo is Yorubaman's best friend.

lx3as:
What has kept Emirate in Ilorin is Islam rather than Fulani tribe. The Emirate was sacked many times by internal Yoruba groups within Ilorin but thanks to the British and Islamic religion that have secured it till this day.
Very true!

You see, Yorubas in Southern parts of the Commonwealth will tell anyone that cared to listen that we are YORUBA FIRST and anything else afterward.

In Ilorin, their attitude is WE ARE MUSLIMS FIRST and anything else after. They view the Emir as a muslim cleric, not as a dynastic ruler, and they fervently see this ruler as part of the injunction of Allah accepting their faith. They believed an Oba will bring worship of Sango and Oya and Egungun...and thus ruin their faith and link to Allah.

Ain't you tired of this same line? Gully bla bla bla. Your laziness makes you think that all wealth is ill wealth. No wonder an ancient city like Ibadan still looks like a bigger IDP camp. In what aspect of human endeavour are you better than us? Take football for example. Maybe Kanu Nwankwo, Okocha and Mikel cheated. Maybe Chinua Achebe or Chimamanda. Maybe Zik of Africa. We sell fake things, why don't you sell the original and compete with us? Don Jazzy dey flex for Island and Olamide in a typical ewedu manner was threatening from mainland. Linda bought a house in Island and Wizzy is threatening from rented accommodation. I am waiting to hear that Ibadan is better than Enugu or Owerri. Dirty things who are naturally lazy are waiting to drive us out of Lagos. Even those who can't afford a decent room in ogbomosho are claiming landlord. No wonder skull mining is on the rise in your IDP camp. Diabolical creatures. Wise men from the East are in Lagos, a no man's land for just one mission. .......Make the money.
Nna, na you talk all this nonsense? Ehhn, yanmiri, na you dey talk like this?

Do you not see the grand plot? The more they throw economic access at you and improve your earning potential the more your political clout and class is eroded. You are now at a point in Nigeria that your political number and bloc has been proven to worth nothing, while economically your worth keeps rising.

Do you want money or ddo you want political power? The person with political power is a god in Nigeria. He can liquidate your economic power in one night, with just one law.

Each time you jubilate your economic rise in Lagos, remember the lesson of Sir Louis Ojukwu, your first millionaire, the History of Lagos does not list him.....your first erudite politician Nnamdi Azikiwe, his name is not on the list of the History of Lagos, Innoson Motors, Lagos has put new occupant where he once had his plant and there is no plaque that reads "Innoson was here".

What we will remember is that you raised a new Biafra, called IPOB led by a jew called Nnamdi Kanu...and that like the first Biafra, the second one was also crushed.

What we will remember is that Arewa youths gave you an ultimatun to vscate or be vacated...

We will remember that Fashola deported you, and when Orji Kalu ran his mouth too much....his billions in bank or his huge multimillion mansion in VI did not matter, the owners of the land executed political power and dispatched two law enforcement agents to VI to lock Kalu out of his home.

Do you want political power in your homeland or do you want economic rise in a foreign soil?

Awaiting your learned response.

Oral tradition is what we have, to discredit it is to not have a history at all. Archaeological findings don't need to correct anything, rather support or bring to light new information that don't exist in oral traditions

When we doubt a certain story(not all stories are part of tradition) there are other ways to validate - festivals, stories from other towns, rites and rituals. Lack of validation is bad for a story, because anybody can say anything that isn't really part of the ages long oral traditions
That's it, precisely!!!
