You people use Lagos influence to deceive yourselves. Do you know that first indegenous rap album was recorded in Enugu by Massai (onye kwulu oto) .this was many years before Dagrin. Also Mr. Raw and Sloow Dogg were hits in igbo rap before yoruba rap. But I have seen many yorubas laying claims to be pioneers of indegenous rap

When arguing, try to buttress your point with fact. I mean date.

Omoawoke2:


You use a bias search . Article written from east to shine your ego.

We are talking facts here and not some nonsense articles

Check the history of Nollywood

Herbert Ogunde and Moses Olaiya were pioneers in the 1960s.

The first blockbuster was done by Wale Adenuga

Same Wale Adenuga owns Papa Ajasco and super story

These are facts with dates and names not some articles about how a random person started something

I can't see "Nollywood" in your article na.... The evidence shown already to you is clear!!!

Omoawoke2:


Lol, the reason they removed history is because of ibos, don’t just try to dig. They have a very nasty history

When Oyo empire was thriving, they were still walking around naked inside bush. Have you ever wondered why they don’t have any ancient city or royals?
You hear of Oyo empire, Benin empire, sokoto caliphate. Is there anything in history for Igbos? They were unorganized, uncivilized and had no organized society but were scavengers inside bush. The strong beat up the weak and eat them

Nigga raw started after Lord of Ajasa in 2001.

You are a baby.

Ritchiee:


We should go to the street to count petty traders and gala hawkers or what?
Poverty makes you stay and roam about in the street.

All the facts including the ones from UNDP,WORLD BANK show that from the inception of Nigeria till date,Yorubas have always been the richest both in Nigeria and as Nigerians abroad.

They have the highest number of professors,lawyers,doctors,engineers,real estate practitioners(an Haven for billionaires...Yorubas control almost 70% of this sector....ICT,only GLO in ICT swallows whatever you want to believe you have not to talk of Flutterwave,Esusu etc)
How can you even use your petty trading to equate massive businesses owned by the Yorubas in Nigeria and abroad.

Moreover,only the city of Ibadan has more infrastructures than the entire Igboland SE.
It has the highest number of more than 11 GRAs and still counting in Nigeria.
Please,don't be a clown.

Yet most developed states in Nigeria, Oyo(Ibadan) does not come close to South East!!!

I'm talking about hip hop rap oga. Una don start again oo. Did I say yoruba songs?

Lol, so Lord of Ajasa own is not hip hop hahahahaha. You are dull.

Why did u had to inject IPOB? U could have made ur point without robing IPOB. If this issue was about Hausa/Fulani, u most likely wouldn’t have tarred them with Fulani herdsmen/Boko Haram. I tire for una!

Ola9ja23:
This people and their nonsense argument

We are proud of our Yoruba movies as it promotes our culture and heritage that's why you see many of them doing great on Netflix and attracting international attention. I can't remember any ibo movie on Netflix that gain attention as Yoruba language in Africa.

We don't need to brake into local English movie of IPOB 😂 the way we started our Afrobeat and Afromusic that's recognized internationally today is the way we want Yoruba movies from Africa to the world.

Yoruba is greater than Africa

ElSudani:


How can you come here to expose your ignorance like this?
Ogunde did soap opera, seriously?

I repeat, keep kwayet.

Go and read about him or remain mute.

I'm done with you on this.

How do u know that Igbo states are a pile of crab?

HBB1:


Is that why your States are a pile of crap and you lot jump on every bus going to the S.West?

For Indomie generations make i clear una say the living in bondage was in Ibo language.

Na the popularity make dem dub am for English.

Evil Encounter (1983) by Jimi Odumosu

Wizardslayer:

I tried to read comments without saying a word.

But I've been wondering and tempted to ask, why is it that an average Yoruba man is tribalistic and hatred filled in nature?? If i don't have it, no one else should have it.

You lied.
You just described the Igbos. Igbo antecedents and actions before and after the 2023 presidential election accurately capture that and the world can attest to it.

Before the election, Igbos preferred Atiku Abubakar (a Fulani man) to be elected president than Bola Tinubu (a Yoruba man) if Peter Obi (an Igbo man) failed to be elected. Meanwhile the outgoing president is also from the Fulani tribe as Atiku. Igbo wanted Fulani to continue ruling as president because they hate Yoruba and that's why Igbo did not preferred Tinubu to be president if Peter Obi failed.

And after Tinubu has been duly elected as the President, Igbo want the military to take over the government. The evidences are there. Arthur Nzeribe's (an Igbo man) plot in the 1993 presidential election towards the annulment of Abiola's (a Yoruba man) victory as the elected president then, is there for all to see.

In this 2023 Presidential election, Tinubu and Atiku got about 50% of the total votes cast in their respective regions, while Obi got over 90% of the total votes cast in his own region.

Which ethnic is tribalistic?
Which ethnic practises "if I don't have it, no one else should have it" mentality?

Why is it that an average Igbo man is tribalistic, envious, clannish and hatred-filled in nature?

HBB1:



Don't be silly....

People have mentioned on this thread the names of the producers and years they were made.

About the number of copies, how am I supposed to know?

Did I make the films?

But provide the data naaaa. You should know the precise year the film was produced, the production company and the marketers. Anything beyond that all what you said is pure lies.

ElSudani:


Ija Ominira was made in 1979. This is from the British Film Institute.
This was followed by the likes of Aye and Jayesinmi in the 80s by Hubert Ogunde.
The movie industry in Nigeria was pioneered by Yorubas there's no question about it.

Oga stop making a fool of yourself naaaaa. This is clearly a theater production courtesy of british film institute. Oga stop all these lies abeg. Herbert Ogunde was theater practitioner not a movie actor or producer. These are two distinct things.

Check this link about Herbert Ogunde.
https://ogundemuseum.org/movies.html
All his films were mainly theatre productions and stage plays. None were commercial motion pictures which is the backdrop of Nollywood. Commercial motion pictures started in 1993 with Living in Bondage which set the stage for what we know as Nollywood. Yorubas didn't pioneer Nollywood, igbos did. Yorubas rather pioneered Theater and stage plays so you can say that Yorubas are the founders of the Nigerian version of Broadway.

The Film had nothing to do with the British Film Institute, they just documented it just like IMDB.
The movie is even on Turner classic movies.
The level of ignorance you are displaying here is shameful. Ogunde made movies didn't he?

Aye and Jayesinmi were motion pictures shown on the big screen at the national theater, these were not stage plays but movies.
I really don't know whether you guy are truly ignorant of these things or deliberately trying to distort history.

Oga go and check Herbert Ogunde's website stop lying blatantly. Herbert Ogunde's so called films are stage plays. Okay tell is how many copies were sold? How many families had a VHS copy of the film, who were the marketers can you answer these questions?

ElSudani:


Aye and Jayesinmi were shown on the big screen at the national theater, these were not stage plays but movies.

Oga these were stage plays. Just be bold enough to tell us how many copies were sold, who were the marketers and what year were they produced and which company produced it. Simple questions you cannot answer you want to form smart.

How many copies were sold or how many people went to see them in movie theaters? The movies were shown in almost every cinema in Yorubaland.
This was not your village VCD copying operations. Real movies.

Oga we are making reference to commercial movie production naaaaa. It was pioneered by igbos what in God's name are you saying you have not been able to answer any questions i put to you, you are just trying to play smart. Guy face it commercial motion picture which we know as Nollywood was pioneered by igbos whether you like it or not the records are there.

Aye and Jayesinmi were not commercial? They were shown free of charge at the movie theaters?
SMH.
What Ibos did were VCD home made videos not movies. Ibos didn't create anything, this was a lie told too many times.

Oga stop being foolish. These are stage plays that were developed for theater viewing. They cannot be classed as commercial motion pictures of which nollywood is formed from. I know it is painful for you because thus is something that you cannot deny the records and evidence is there for all to see. Even the rise of Nollywood was a direct consequence of SAP even IBB acknowledged it then you this tribalistic cretin that was not even born during the days of Herbert Ogunde is claiming knowledge. I am sure you guys will rush to Wikipedia to edit Herbert Ogunde's biography.

Okechinwadike:
there is some thing i noticed in Nigerian, just like Messi and Ronaldo. Ronaldo compare himself with Messi while Messi compared himself with maradonna. Yoruba people compare their selves with igbos while igbos compare themselves with American and western world

The reverse is the case.

So according to you, I guess Yoruba are trying to compete with Igbo when Yoruba opened the first TV station in Africa?

Dey play.

Below is Herbert Ogunde's biography

Chief Hubert Adedeji Ogunde D.Lit. (// (listen); 10 July 1916 – 4 April 1990) was a Nigerian actor, playwright, theatre manager, and musician who founded the first contemporary professional theatrical company in Nigeria, the African Music Research Party, in 1945. He was a theater practitioner and not a movie producer.

LagosPrince:
Yoruba started Nollywood yet, most Yoruba actors and actresses didn't break through the English version of Nollywood from baba suwe to Mr latin down to Femi adebayo.

The Igbos gave Nollywood life and since Yoruba actors and actresses couldn't break through the English version of Nollywood probably because their english sucks, Dem kuku create Nollywood Yoruba to console themselves.

Chest beating as usual , don't be stupid ,the highest grossing actor in Nigeria for a while now has been DEYEMI OKANLAWON HE IS AN ENGLISH SPEAKING ACTOR,check out all the highest grossing movies , all have been produced by Yoruba .which English speaking actress has sold films more than funke akindele,don't you also have Igbo speaking actors where are they in the sceme of things the femi Adebayo is a law graduate it's not English that is his problem,look at indians majority of their films are in Hindi and not English pls be wise which life did the igbos bring to Nollywood we started it and we are owning it period when it comes to entertainment Yoruba is king

Now who is foolish? I did this for you since you are too lazy to find out yourself.
This is what they call theater production in your village I guess.
You can lie from now till you turn green in the face, it wouldn't change the facts.

foleskay:

Well done with ur disjointed post. Well ur first line has said it all. We are still the pioneer. We paved the way for ibos rejuvenation. Its normal

other was disjointed because it was bitter to u and u choose the one that favors u. U be iti

Things fall apart was acted in 1971.....
Every time unhealthy stupid competition/comparison with Igbos.

Even Rwanda, Namibia,etal are soaring high in development n civilization, una carry foolish tribalism put limit for ur lives.....giant of Africa riddled with egocentric tribalistic humans

Ohhh my word you are very good in propaganda imdb doesn't make it the truth. Go to his website you will see that everything about Herbert.Ogunde was theater and stage plays he was never into commercial motion pictures if not you that I.already know would have told the whole world how many.million copies of Herbert Ogunde's films are sold till date. Guy rest you have failed big time igbos are the pioneers of commercial motion picture which is nollywood.

Omoawoke2:


Shut up and face the topic

Do you agree now that Yorubas started and commercialized Noolywood

The fact is there for you to see.

I’d stick it to your face again.

Please don’t ever mention that igbos started it again, it means you are a liar and ignorant

See people wey they steal their glory
