St.Funmi:
Major Reason: religion


Igbos are seen as christian crusaders just like Hausas are seen as islamic crusaders in Nigeria. Yorubas are in between and it'll be easier for alhaji to work with a yoruba christian just like an igbo christian will trust a yoruba muslim more when it comes to invading their land with messages from mohammed. Yorubas have the advantage of religion and population too.

Again, the presidency is now rotated every 8 years. The igbos that are talking about 2011 are joking because the north has 4 more years, then the igbos, then the North central, the south south, the north west, the south west and so on unless there is a chaos along the line as usual.

~Sauron~:
Osisi is disputing there are no cannibals in Ngwa village in Abia State??

~Sauron~:
These are isolated cases of cannibalism.
I have asked you guys to show me a Yoruba village/state where cannibalism was practised pre/post independence.[/b]Salifu Ojo, Folorunsho Olutokun and Tahiru might be Igbo men in disguise.
Ngwa village can NEVER be a Yoruba settlement in disguise.

~Sauron~:
Tahiru is the Hausa suya man. . . . .He is not a Yoruba dude, check your facts very well

There's no Yoruba State that has a history of cannibalism.
Ngwa people in the East are known to flaming cannibals. Whether they still practise it or not is another debate entirely.
Show me one State in the SW with such tradition.

If you conduct a thorough investigation on the human parts market, i won't be surprised if Igbo men are not the perpetrators.
Why are you sounding like there are no Igbos in Lagos??
Where the deed is done is not really necessary but the brains behind it.
Food for thunk!!!

I ask cos the only time I ever heard of Tahiru was a Hausa gate man I knew in Ibadan.

Well Dahmer was also a cannibal.

and Yorubas are called fetishists as well osisi. The dude with the skulls in the airport abi? Such is also used against it so what's the problem?

DeReloaded:
Never heard this story before. Clifford Orji?

and since when is Tahuru a Yoruba name?

Okija_juju:
Nne oma Osisi

May the gods of our forefathers continually shower their blessing on you. Please inform these bigots that orjis wingman was actually an onye ofe m'manu.

Before you go any further, there are cannibals in Abia State.
I have forgotten the name of that village now but i would dig it out later.
They ate a dozen corp members few years ago and a movie was made from the story.
Don't be ignorant. . . . . . .Cannibalism is a standard practise in the EAST.

I dont mean Ghanian movies arent taking over the African industry in general, I mean they are taking over with non-Nigerians esp non-Africans. Patience used to be the big selling point, now it's Nadia Buhuri or Van Vicker. Accomplishment is when international film boards take notice, not small hair shops that's my opinion obviously.

chiogo:
Are Nigerians living in Nigeria also forced to speak english? I don't get you.


@RichyBlack, Yes Emeka would be easier to say than Chukwuemeka. That doesn't mean that the 'Emeka' would even be pronounced correctly, maybe close.

asha 80:
The 'problem' with igbos is that they adapt easily to foreign culture

RichyBlacK:
Gosh! You missed out on some excellent South Korean and Taiwanese flicks!

It's funny how people talk indirectly instead of being straight-forward. Well, fine I can play that game too.

FYI, age has nothing to do with this. Trust Nigerians to always hide under being old to equal wisdom whereas the most idiotic people in Nigeria are the old frauds called leaders. spare me pls.

As for the one calling names, i won't descend to your level. This just proves my point. age is NOT equal to wisdom. With their way of thinking, it's no surprise they don't know the meaning of the word, local. It's the same as native/indigenous, not a condescending term. BTW, I wasn't the first to use it on this thread

If I go to school here, doesn't that put me in a better position to know? Instead of saying stuff i hear/see on TV, I actually experience what I say.

I never expected any better from nairaland folks anyway, so y'all can keep being what you are.

Be that as it may, it doesnt change the fact that people that dont understand Hindi wwatch these movies (Slumdog Millionair was 90% Hindi 10% English) so I refuse to fall for "oh but we make them speak English for others to understand". Hasnt stopped French, Japanese, South African movies from being critically acclaimed worldwide by those who dont speak these language so Nigeria had better find a better excuse for their shame.

DeReloaded:
I disagree. People keep making excuses for this outright SELLING OUT that they did. I dont understand how they arent ashamed of themselves. It's NOT a coincidence that once they switched to English, the quality (story wise) of these movies went to hell.

Did they not start it all with Igbo speaking movies? I can list them in case anyone wants to deny it. Also this whole "people wont understand" thing, I just dont get it. Bollwyood movies were BIG In Naija from the 70s to the mid 90s. I dont remember them ever speaking English. You had to rely on the subtitles, no be so? So why are Nigerians making excuses for the fact that they are ashamed of their language? It wouldnt even be so bad if they didnt make it worse by completely removing Igbo names from these characters. Rent any recent English movie now and show me one where the character doesnt have an English name. Stupid names like Maximillary, Stefano, blah blah. It's pathetic and it bothers me that it doesnt bother YOU guys. I know if YMG did that shit, they will hear from me and many others.

Like I said afam has every right to be annoyed but the music scene is the least of their problems. At least that one has a somwhat justifable reason.
