Wake up and learn, all the movies I mentioned were produced by YORUBAS. Wedding party and king of boys is produced & directed by Kemi Adetiba, October 1st, Phone Swap, CEO, Figurine etc. by Kunle Afolayan, 30 days in Atlanta by AY, Omo getho by Funke Akindele, etc. And besides, what do you mean by Nollywood?😂😂😂 You are not informed at all. In Nigeria, there are Nollywood and Kannywood. So most actor/actress are Nollywood. However, some of them are either acting in Igbo or Yoruba, or Igbo/English or Yoruba/English or both. Like wise in Kannywood, the Hausa version.

1. Wedding Party is produced by Inkblot.

2. Inkblot Productions is a film production company founded in 2010 by Naz Onuzo, Zulumoke Oyibo, Damola Ademola and Omotayo Adeola. Inkblot Productions produced The Wedding Party.

3. Naz Onuzo is an IGBO man. Therefore Wedding Party is a mix of Igbo, Edo and Yoruba. Stop claiming the intellectual property that belongs to other tribes and calling it Yoruba. Are you a thief.

The point is that the religion and language has been extended to the Americas. It has presence in Brazil Cuba Trinidad and Colombia. The bigger than Africa documentary was about IFA and it’s extension outside Africa

The title is just a very catchy and interesting title that should not be taken as fact. Good Night.

tundein18:
Yeah it is. More people practice ifa. What is Egyptians lmao? They all speak Arabic and are Muslims

I have no business with religion. Tell me how Yoruba is bigger than Africa. The Egyptian population is 3 times Yoruba nation so explain to me how a tribe will be bigger than the continent.

tundein18:
Millions of people outside Nigeria and Africa practice ifa religion that’s why it’s spoken. Get rid of your hatred and jealousy cause it’s growing and there’s nothing you can do about it

So, Ifa religion is bigger than Egyptians? 😂😂😂

Styluss:
To think that you are comparing a region with a country of at least 120 million people shows how shallow you are😅

U are not following the argument. Somebody said Yoruba is bigger than Africa. So I want him to explain what he means.

Odogwuzack:
As a second language nko?
mumu.

No Edo person has a first Nigerian Language as Yoruba, Ode.

LegendHero:
What happened to Egypt and Ethiopia?

Egyptians were once known as world power. Where were the Yorubas?

LegendHero:
What happened to Egypt and Ethiopia?

If Yoruba is bigger than Africa then it automatically means Yoruba is bigger than Egyptians and Ethiopians.

We both know that the Egyptians are known in every country of the world but Yorubas are known mostly inside Nigeria. So therefore, Yoruba can't be bigger than Egyptians.

LegendHero:
Edo North in Igarra area.

I remember back then when I went for field trip in my uni to Igarra. Most of the older people there still speak Yoruba.

I love that place and scenery of that town.

Nobody speak Yoruba as a first language in Edo. Rest.

Obiedun:
Akoko Edo

So Akoko Edo speak Yoruba?😂

Sharpsharp00123:
u don enter kogi before, I guess u don’t know they also speak Yoruba well well in d Jos not to even talk about some parts of edo just to mention a few

Which part of Edo? 😂😂😂

LegendHero:
How do you now proof to them that you’ve been to Lagos?

In another news, Yoruba is a language that is bigger than Africa. Even in Nigeria, you have Yoruba speakers in Kwara, Kogi, and Niger who run into several millions.

In Africa, you have countries that speak Yoruba. In South America, you have countries that speak Yoruba, and etc.

Igbo should go and compete with Ijaws. Yoruba language is bigger than Africa.

Oga nah film U they talk jor. Africa were Egypt & Ethiopia dey? Abi nah another Africa.

drlateef:
The itshekiri and Urhobo have yoruba origin, same with Benin and Ijaws living in these areas. I have seen igbo speaking yoruba in the east to deceive other igbos who have not gone to southwest before.

What do U know about Bini, Itsekiri & Ijaw. Abeg carry SS comot from ur argument.

soullove1881:
Let me educate you kid! First, I don't live in SW but your submission show you're still living in trenches.
In movie industry, Yorubas is still leading.
Stay calm and check top 100 movies of ATB like, Wedding party, Figurine, 30 days in Atlanta, October 1, The CEO, Omo getho, Alakada, Prophetess, Buka on the street, Ayinla, Phone Swap, King of boys, Gang of Lagos etc. Just think about any solid movies and the slangs that comes out of it. They all mostly produced by Yorubas. You literally have forgotten that Nollywood English is a bit divided, The Classic and the normal. YORUBAS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE CLASSIC while Other tribes like (The Asabahood) are in control of Normal. The movie like 'A king is running after his maid. The title alone don explain the entire movie 😂😂😂

Even in Tech, Give it to Yorubas; FCMB founder, GTB, even FBN CEO etc. are all Yorubas. Just like in internet space; Nairaland, Naijaloaded, Flutterwave, Paystack etc. so talking about their commercial is not just because they are controlling this space but because they are naturally blessed.
An average Yoruba Man don't cry on the internet like una. Give an average Igbo man 100M nah to dey disrespect everyone and Living above his means. But give the same money to a Yoruba or an Hausa Man, you won't know say he get shinshin. Proudness no dey their body. You can see how Olamide is lifting up others without shouting over it.
Maybe that's why we are yet to see any Igbo man in the Forbes list of world billionaire.

These movies U listed are not Yoruba movies. They are Nollywood. The main star in Wedding Party is Edo so how is that a Yoruba movie.

They are Yoruba movies that speak Yoruba dialect. Talk of those ones not movies directed by Yoruba man and produced by Igbo man.

uuzba:
Delta pidgin?
Who told you delta is pidgin?
Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ijaw languages.
Since we are doing Native language plus English then it must be the 3 Native languages and PROPER English.
--
Pidgin English is street language not for government

Did U say Pigin English not for government? Who told U that? It can be if we want it so. Nothing is stopping us.

NOwazobia:
I am expecting the east to start theirs.

Na south south big confusion go dey.

Pigin English is what they will adopt. We have no choice.

LegendHero:
That’s correct. All state must follow suit.

But in the South, we need an official language just as the North where Hausa is spoken across the entire 19 Northern states.

I have a proposal of adopting Yoruba as the official language of the South. What do you think?

The official language is Pigin English. Don't force urself on us.

IGBOS are not ready to go. They say it but they don't act it. Their actions alone says otherwise. Some people are still moving from SE to Lagos. Others are building properties in SW. If you ask them why, they will tell they are free to build anywhere in Nigeria.

tunde1200:
You go enter Lagos now dey claim no mans land after 6month.

I know you are from that region even without reading your stories.

Don't mind them. Very confused people.

helinues:
When you could have blamed the oppositions for neglecting their duties

South West let's say the truth you guys are troublesome. If PDP should start protest nah ur people go encourage DSS to lock them up and throw the keys away. You even send agberos to beat up MLC members. The truth is other regions are not like that. That's why when SW started protest nobody from SW advice GEJ to arrest them.

They are tribalistic and we know them.

Emergingnation:
We can all see how the Yoruba's are loving themselves...

See I am from SS o. What the guy said is true. This is not the way. U guys are destroying ur land. This is how my tribe Itsekiri, Ijaw and Uhrobo used war to finish Warri. Bro this is not the way.

ArewaNorth:
FG since they subsidized what they shouldn't which is tagged scam. With the current PMS price it is now clear wether there was subsidy or not!

So from now the FG will start paying NNPCL, right? Okay thanks for the explanation.

ArewaNorth:
It is unfortunate how you can't understand a simple statement but rushed to comment in ignorance.
Crude Swap Arrangement gave NNPCL the crude equivalent worth of the refined products they used to import within the period he mentioned and NNPCL was sole importer of the PMS thereby distributing it to marketers at subsidized rate, federal government still owes the firm the sum of N2. 8 trillion spent on petrol subsidy between 2016 and May this year that is why NNPCL couldn't make reasonable profits since commercializing it by PIA due to the subsidy being finaced by the company not FG.

So who will pay that 2.8 trillion to NNPCL?

FacilitatorLekk:
The trust factor is an issue, those money can be embezzled by one greedy fellow, it's better to allow the economy boom, and government focus on general VAT they are getting already, because as the economy booms, the general VAT volume increases. Targeting small businesses for direct VAT again won't be the best for economic boom.

TINUBU DOES NOT WANT THE ECONOMY TO GROW HE SAID IT HIMSELF. SO STOP.

helinues:
The $500m just granted loan from IMF is for what?

U HAVE KNOW BUSINESS WITH ECONOMY OR POLITICS. GO AND STAY IN COMEDY SECTION 😂😂😂

FacilitatorLekk:
Government should focus on VAT in targeting taxes from the poor, because the citizens and people get no much benefits from government to pay taxes, and their business is just meeting their family survival needs. Government should explore luxury goods, petroleum products and such to get more tax.

Taxing the poor and informal sector will lead to increase in expenditure and leave the people with less disposable income. Disposable income is important for the grassroot, this is how the average man survives, when the ordinary people have money to spend, money flows round, in the villages, in the ghettos and communities. Government should not just focus on making money for government, but should understand that the informal sector and grassroots are the majority, this sector is what keeps our economy mobilized... government must keep this sector oiled and mobilized, by allowing the people have more disposable income to spend within each other, not taking all their money via taxes. Tax the rich and luxury goods.

Federal government must start building highrise shelters in major cities, where most Nigerians move to, places like Lagos, portharcourt, Benin, Ogun state, and such locations, to help in accommodation problems. The money saved from subsidy removal should be used to build shelters, accommodation in cities of Nigeria are expensive, compared to earnings.

Let the poor breathe, as our great Presido said himself.

Tinubu has no economic strategy. Stop wasting your time.

Antiurchins:
If they have allowed GEJ to remove subsidy in 2012 by now we should be looking at N300 NNPC price.


Do you know the weird thing about Nigerians? The suffering they endured under Buhari and they are willing to endure BAT they won't endure it under GEJ or any Igbo man as President. A lot of people enjoyed under GEJ yet they tagged him an Igbo man and cursed the hell out of him. As if na Igbo man spoil Nigeria.

U say the "NIGERIANS"? Please next time say the "YORUBAS". They are very loud. Their hatred for other Southern region is at its peak and that's why by now if it was a SS or SE man they would have started protest.

helinues:
Those who worked against others from seceding from Nigeria but thinking those same people they denied would allow them to have their Biafra can only be regarded as a joker

Hahaha, Biafra dream is more like a fermented palm wine tapper's dream

Yoruba people.... 😩
