How can you post the comment reproduced below and then respond with the above comment? How? Hypocrisy or what? If the argument is not necessary, why make the comment below? A particular ethnic group have been claiming sole ownership of Nollywood for some years now. Some years back, they even claimed Yoruba movies are not part of Nollywood in order to maintain their self acclaimed ownership of the industry. Now that the records are being set straight, you now think it’s not necessary even when comment is suggesting otherwise? Madam, Beremx must be another name for hypocrisy.

He is speaking from both sides of the mouth. That's the problem with lying; you say one lie and you need another lie to cover it.

How can Igbo man be producing Yoruba films and sell? Smh

And how he conveniently avoided telling his audience about the successful home Yoruba videos released well before 1991 is best known to him.

Yoruba started and own Nollywood. QED

Throwback:
Atleast he admitted Yorubas had begun producing and selling home videos before living in bandage.

Is there anything like Home video now or cassette video or even VCD? Yet the movie industry is still called Nollywood.

So obviously what matters is the production and not the means of distribution.

We know whose movies dominate the cinema circuit in Nigeria.

Drama is part of Yoruba culture.

seunmsg:
Quite contradictory. So you all accept that Yorubas have been making movies even though without commercial success before living in bondage was produced. So, what’s the argument about again?

Yorubas started both theater and home movie production. Igbos took over at some point and expanded the scope. Today, it’s an equal field for everyone with Yorubas taking the shine with blockbuster after blockbuster in the last 5 years.

flokii:
They are always envious of Yorubas.. that is the fact.

The way they can't rewrite Lagos history still pains them till date.

Zupay:
Na so igbos envy Yorubas so tey FG notice am and punished the South East with the highest cut off marks!

See as you pin mouth for Lagos as if that is all you have in life! If dem leave you now, you go lie say na Yorubas first bring electricity for Nigeria in Lagos, na dem build the first railway lines, the first general hospital, the Iju water works etc when there is documented history that they were all done by the BRITISH!

Gather liver compare Osun state to Imo state, not using Lagos that was developed with the national wealth and human capital resources of all the tribes in Nigeria.

Of course, they can never be mates. No wonder Ibo people are large in numbers in ife, Osogbo, and Ilesha in large numbers.

Inferiority complex is what most of people from your region is suffering from, don't ever compare the Great Igbos with useless tribe, you couldn't even defeat Fulanis talk less of other south south regions, your people is the reason why Nigeria is not progressing, Igbos is your father and will never measure up to the Great Igbos, you will always be second fiddle. Yoruba men are very good with big ass and boobs like Bob Risky ..... A won Oponus

Beremx:
Living in Bondage started the business in Nollywood. If Yoruba movies existed before then, most people were not aware because most Nigerians were interested in Indian and American movies

Did they tell you that the British brought their money from Europe to build Lagos?
If your region was that productive and prosperous, they would have equally developed them like did in Lagos.
British made their money in Lagos and used part of the profit to build Lagos.

goodnessme1:
Who dey watch Yoruba movies

Zupay:
Made their money in Lagos from the yorubas , then why did they build railway lines in other parts of Nigeria?

Go and read up about the history of United Africa Company of Nigeria to cure your ignorance.

Raf4:
Come out plain and tell us what you know. Abi you want to tell us that that they built Lagos from the money made in your region?
