Just shut up your dirty mouth. Everyone knows that
Owerri is a dirty glorified village littered with dilapidated roads and filthy environment.

Everyone knows that most imo indigenes live in Onitsha.

Mumu everyone knows that just the GDP of Nnewi is bigger than that of entire imo state not to talk of when we add Onitsha and Awka.

Frustrated bitter clowns

stop chest-beating, Imo state has bigger revenue generated not FG allocation induced GDP....


Imo has more state asset and market with #12B state revenue compared to Anambra meagre #8.7 B revenue...


Numbers don't Lie chest-beater do....

Grgt0n:
Even you knows that this is all politics not that Onitsha is dirty like the glorified village that’s Owerri, which has made most imo indigenes keep trooping to Onitsha for greener pasture. Onitsha is a progressive mega city and envy of many other cities. Asari is just playing politics and he knows it. My suggestion is that Uzodimma should demolish and rebuild Owerri so that imolites will have a township to be proud of for once



Owerri

you are a fool. All the movies are in the links are correct. Go get data. King of boys and wedding party couldn't get 200k views despite the hype. The movies are starring at you face to face and you are showing me Wikipedia link. Do you need Wikipedia link to visit YouTube? You are now yapping incoherently because you can't believe your eyes. People are not interested in your overvalued out-of-touch movies. I can show you more of your "high grossing" movies and how they are performing on YouTube. Infact, they are always shown on ROK1 DStv and people still ignore it to go after "Asaba movies". Ask anyone who subscribes because I know you don't have access to genuine information. Regular movies rake in millions of views while your overhyped craps are ignored. If people can't watch them for free on YouTube, why will they pay to watch them in the cinema?

Taa! Run away from here.

Guy, no be today I don sabi YouTube scam...King of theives is 1hr 55mins buh the link you posted is just 1hr 2 mins and file is not even King of theives same with the posted Wedding party....who is the fool I guess you never knew since all you watch is Asaba backwardness, you can only fool your fellow illitrate.


Who are the people ignoring a movie grossing hundred of millions buh show us Asaba highest grosser make we check something...

Cinema movies and their grossing are a scam. Yoruba movie makers are noise makers. Igbos are blessed. With little budget they make Interesting movies and huge profits. While your "high class" over valued craps won't sell except when people hang out on holidays in the cinema with popcorn. Imagine having Aki and paw paw in a cinema and given the hype your over valued craps are given, cinema houses will collapse. Go and learn business from people who know and swallow your pride. Yorubas are struggling to make good movies but seems unable to connect with Nigeria and African audience. Asaba/Enugu axis is the grassroots of nollywood and it's pillar and will remain so. If you don't like it, go to court.

Take several seats.

The YouTube link you posted has the title buh na another movie dey inside...no be today I started using YouTube, do you how many times I tried downloading Lionheart buh na another movie go dey the file...no be today...


You are say a movie that makes nearly #700 and #350 mill are crap that sold on holiday...which holiday wan make #700m when we no even have the Cinema house capacity in Nigeria ( how many Cinema house dey East).... at least they make huge buck, please post highest Asaba grosser make we see...... You do see Asaba movie shot with drone before?


The few movies from that side like Aki and Pawpaw that makes Cinema grade didn't do too well... Why didn't the producers go the Asaba CDs route buh Common sense in them choose Cinema house not CDs, even the producers no live in medieval times they wan make better money wey Asaba no fy provide... This is Aki and Pawpaw cinema at 19 position, very poor for a household brand...

aki and paw that was posted few years ago on YouTube is the most viewed nollywood movie on YouTube. Go and sit down. Show me the views for king of boys and wedding party let's compare. Btw, what are those movies doing on YouTube? I thought they are classy and made for cinema alone. If they can't garner the most views on YouTube, it means they are a scam.

Go have several seats!

I swear most Ibo men are illitrate, so you think Blockbuster movies like King of boys, Wedding party, King of theives get posted on YouTube, sorry...


Those quality movies are in Cinema and Streaming network not poor man YouTube where you watch your substandard movie for free.. na #2 mill budget movie you take them be....


Aki and Pawpaw? post the movie title make I compare im numbers with Kambili numbers..Mind you Kambili only make #35mill on YouTube, other platform and limited Cinema preview.


Ndi VCD film industry...naso Cinema house scares for East.

Armaggedon:
You don't know anything bro. I repeat, you know nothing. Foreign movies still dominate cinemas. That means those Nigerians distributing movies via that channel don't know their onions.

Let me educate you. Most people who visit the cinema are rich and they go there to hang out and not to watch those movies in particular. That is why cinema movie makers hustle for viewership by paying huge amount for cinema houses to feature their movies on special holidays when people hang out. People hustle to watch good movies not the other way round. Many cinema movies end up on YouTube and their views are still less than many regular movies on YouTube. Check out wedding party on YouTube. The logical corollary is that a lot of regular movies will gross more than what you call hit if they feature on cinemas except that those producers wouldn't want to pay so much for promotion, taxes etc
Highest grossing is not highest take home profit for producer . Stop saying "he made this and that" on cinema. Ask them their real profit.
I repeat you don't know nada

Foreign movies or not, Are Nigerian movie doing well ? Yes, Booker street is almost over #700 and Wedding party gross nearly #1 B combined, ask yourself how much is their Production cost....is it because of foreign movie that the shambolic Asabawood refuse to upgrade or move on from CD era...


Have shown Femi Adebayo stat show me one Asaba film stat and let compare...it not about chest-beating (like my papa rich pass Dangote, back it up man)... or Accept your L.


Numbers don't lie, show us even the meagre numbers of views Asaba Movies dey get for YouTube you go hide face.


Yeye dey smell.

Armaggedon:
everybody wants to take their movies to cinema? are you sure you are ok? A lot of regular movies makers also produce for the cinema and make regular movies. Chill bro don't over rate the cinema. It has been there since independence. If it is as profitable as you claim, regular movie makers who release movies partly through it would have focused on it solely.


profit from Netflix belongs to Americans. Profit from Amazon prime belongs to France. Profit from nollywood belong to Nigerians who are mainly Igbo producers. Again stop acting as if AM epic is the only channel that show movies from produced in Asaba/Enugu axis. Most Am Epic movies, ROK 2, many ROK1 and AM urban movies are done there. So are most Nigerian movies on YouTube. Need I remind you that most nollywood movies done in Lagos are also done by Igbo producers. Till tomorrow, Igbos own nollywood. They are only competing with foreigners.
...and if they don't make profit, they wouldn't be producing more and more movies and employing more people right? Have you ever seen a business sustaining without profit? When last did you see Tunde afolayan produce his own movie? Last year I saw him nearly crying that he doesn't know how people make profit by uploading movies on YouTube. That shows that those people understand the business environment more than him but empty pride won't let him learn. Movie making is business, you keeping at a sustainable level. If you are not Iroko or multichoice who own a large distribution network and you invest a large amount in production, you'll loose because Nigeria business environment is though. Nigerians are too poor to afford the type of expensive luxury that Netflix is offering. I assure you they and Amazon prime will abandon nollywood in few years time.

guy, speak for yourself that you cannot afford Cinema or streaming fee with back to back movie from Funke Akindele making over 600mil and even Femi Adebayo Indigenous language making over #350mill shows Nigerians can afford to watch good movies enmass with huge return....On Netflix they deal with Internal metrics not Emotions, for them to greenlight Anikulapo and King of boys for another season shows it profitable business for them ... do you think people like Kemi Adetiba, Afolayan or Mo Abudu will have biggest and most profitable studio in Nigeria if deals with Streaming giant and Cinema are not profitable...

Tell me which sector no like huge Investment, Hollywood shoot up due to Europeans jew massive cash injections after WW2.


Examples, Femi Adebayo shoot King of theives for #70mil to make over #350 at Cinema...can substandard Asaba film even near that figure In Production not to talk of Return.... if so give us examples


Only movie of substandard quality like Asaba will never dream of Cinema or streaming Network...who wan take on unprofitable ventures with PIRACY issues...even Asaba no dey attract big shakers in the industry only upcoming and C grade actors who cant cut it big in Big budget movies...no Ini Edo, Bimbo, Nse Etim, Toyin Abraham, Osas and Ini dima...how much be Asaba film budget wet Dem wan attract big fish or A-lister.


Joke's on you... commot there jaree.

Winner90:

Bitterness is written all over your post yet you call people "children of hate"

Back to the topic. If you remove the few so called highest grossing movies, nollywood will still stand strong. If the regular movies you are trying to blackwash are removed, nollywood will be gone.

A lot of those movies like shantytown, Anikulakpo, blood sisters etc are Netflix original. It's not as if they are regular movies that the platform found "worthy enough" to feature.

Also, movie grossing high neither proves it's profitable nor even interesting. Cinema houses themselves take up a large sum of the profit, much money is also spent by the the producers promoting the movie, then paying large crew and taxes. After paying extra money for the cinema houses to feature their movies on important holidays like Christmas and New year day, they wait year long for it to gross. In the end, their take home profit might not reach 100 percent of the cost. Whereas someone in Asaba will invest few millions and recover more than it in months. Chill bro.

Netflix or not, are they not Nigerian driven story with Nigeria crew and actors or not?.... you shouting Netflix like every sector doesn't require Investment, that is why Asaba is stuck in VCD and CD era with shameful movie title like Wrath of God's 1,2,3,4,.... If Cinema house took more why is the movie industry or everyone want to take their movie to Cinema and not go Crude Asaba or CDs way....


Big companies like Netflix, Amazon prime don't deals on Emotions buh cares about the business and Numbers that Asaba doesn't generate that's is why they are shunned...if you see Asaba movie you would know they truly need serious cash injections...Like you Netflix mumu reach to go burn their Hard earned cash on Substandard Asaba rifed with Piracy..


If as you postulate Someone drop million and reap millions back...trust me the Asaba movie genre would have been improved than this Eyesore we see on Epic...More profit would draw investors buh rather what we see is Asaba backwardness every year...we don't see Asaba numbers and not enough money is going into their Movie production (the movie quality prooves these) there hence there viability is questioned...


Shame.

Winner90:
what numbers sir?

Use Google check the highest grossing movie in Nigeria and clear your doubt.... which useless IQ damaging Asaba movie is represented there, you will even see Yoruba film like Anikulapo, King of thieves etc. not Asaba eyesore..


Or maybe Yoruba also owns MultiChioce, All Cinema house and Streaming giant (Prime Amazon, Netflix) that they manipulate the numbers...



Una wailing no be today buh for Eternity... Children of hate.

Goodlady:

Firstly, some of you are pained Tobi Bakare won ahead of Chidi Mokeme. Both are outstanding actors but Brotherhood was just a better movie than Shanty Town. That's why Tobi won.
However, I don't want to guess that you are making it appear like it's a tribe personalty award like saying those that won yesterday were more of Yorubas than those that do Nollywood English home video. In a nutshell, Yoruba vs Igbo thing as if it's 2023 election.
When you mentioned Kunle Afolayan, you spoiled yourselve's market.
He's bigger than any Nollywood english movie producer ever. He's the biggest ever Nigerian movie maker now in riches and achievements.
By the way, Kunle Afolayan or those that won yesterday aren't stereotyped to Yoruba movies. They act and produce lovely english movies and speak better english. Just as there are trashy actors everywhere, there are lots in those clique you mentioned.
By the way who started Nollywood and who really owned it and made it a global enterprise? It's those Yoruba movie producers from the time of Hubert Ogunde. Kunle that you mentioned has a father who's old enough to be father to Nkem Owoh & Ozonkwo. That when he started acting, those mentioned be as motor boys or house help in Nollywood.
See, it's not by competition or boasting, there are levels o.
And it's good for you to respect those you listed and yourself by not disparaging others.
Indeed, there's Asaba Nollywood and these Asaba analyst which you are one of them. Go to Linda Ikeji's blog & see how Igbos & all Nigerians are talking about the flaws of Asaba Nollywood. Awards are earned, not reward!

God bless the writer.

They can't compete hence the reason for their Bitterness.

The ones getting awards cannot be classified as nollywood actors to begin with. Create the class in your imagination.

Buh the numbers says otherwise....these are Nigeria movies making hundred of millions not the joke and substandard flick you guys make in Asaba..

80%? I guess Okoro make up all Nigerians... People In SW don't even know what AM Epic is, na AM Yoruba or have you seen Northerners tune to Epic before when AM Hausa dey there....

They should continue deceiving themselves. Tobi is a mid actor that is coming up but he’s not that good. Watch “Gangs of Lagos” you’ll attest to this. Now AMVCA is like the headies, they’re only giving their Yoruba counterparts the awards. Nobody should say anything about voting cos the website wasn’t giving an OTP to people that registered. Every competition, Award show, election Nigerians must bring in corruption. Just imagine who won best female actress, an upcomer that barely knows how to act. This cheating behavior is why Nigeria can’t progress in sports too cos they’re busy fixing people based on recommendations. Imagine Anthony Joshua was never given an opportunity to go for trials when he was in Nigeria. Are we going to blame this on the government too? We have serious sanitization to carry out amongst ourselves.

so you are Pained bcoz he is Yoruba? His performance in Gang of Lagos alone should have earned him this plaque not to talk of his masterpiece in Brotherhood...

Whether 3km or 1,000,000km, are you aware the city shared boundary with Russia ? and it took russia over 200 days to capture it, whereas their initial plan was to whip out ukraine in 24 hours ?

the city do not share boundary with Russia buh Eastern Ukraine does...do not mix Bakmut city with Donesk region....


200 days or not, Bakmut is well defended Garrison with layers of pre-planned trenches..the bottom line is that it has Fallen.


Stop displaying Ignorance.

Goodman2023:


Iran is very far from US, this particular city is located in Eastern ukraine, less than 3km from russia....yet it took them more than 200 days to capture it... it won't take the nigerian road safety more than a weak to capture such a city

You say Bakmut is less than 3km from Russia? a city that is more than 50km North of Donesk in Eastern Ukraine...


This is what too much Western propaganda does to someone..

Shame..!

Armaggedon:
France wanted to back Biafra. A small amount of arms managed to enter and Biafra used it to recapture Owerri when Nigeria almost wanted to declare victory. UK had to run to France to plead that they stay away from the war. When France got Bakassi through Cameroon, they changed their support to "moral" one. France never actively supported Biafra. You can provide evidence.

France and Canada supported Biafra with ammunitions.


No dey Bobo yourself.

Armaggedon:
Biafra, a country not backed by a single power fought Nigeria that was backed by UK and their allies, and Soviet Union and their allies, for three years. Something Iraq and Ukraine backed by the entire west couldn't achieve. If Nigeria should fight another civil war without foreign support, Biafra will put her to rout in months.

Actually France and Canada backed Biafra buh Ojukwu overplayed his hand by coveting Lagos thereby attacking Ore... which proove his downfall.


He lost too many men at Ore that defending Bendel become complicated.


Let them rout the Operation Python dance first, Okoro chest-beater.

Antiochus:


US struggled with Japan too. It struggled with ragtag Communist militias in Vietnam and was defeated. Struggled with Korea and China during the Korean war and it was defeated ending the Korean war with stalemate despite the use of its vast airpower.

Same US Struggled against goat herders in Afghanistan and fled overnight to the shock of the world. War is no joke but Russia has done excellently well with its war against 32 member NATO bloc arming Ukraine to the teeth. Even a military strategist understand what is going on here. Now that Bakhmut has fallen let's see the next billions US and NATO are ready to pour again.

About US in Afghanistan? it's the entire Nato alliance that participated and they control less than 50% of the country before feeling...the US fled without informing it allies, if you see the way Brits and Germans were begging for evacuation when bogged down inside Kabul green zone....
