Reno Omokri Hails South West Cinematic Story Telling Prowess by Biodun556(m): 9:35pm On Jan 07 |
The Southwest of Nigeria must be commended for their cinematic storytelling prowess. Almost 100% of the top ten highest-grossing Nigerian movies have been delivered by directors of Southwest origin. Not only do they dominate in Nollywood, but they also are the cream of Nigeria's music industry, having produced all of Nigeria's Grammy Award winners, including: Sade Adu (1986), Babatunde Olatunji (1991), Sikiru Adepoju (1991) and Seal (1996), Burna Boy (2021), Wizkid (2021), Temilade Openiyi AKA Tems (2023), and Burna Boy (2021). The above are either wholly or partially Yoruba. This vindicates my 2023 post where I said that if the rest of Black Africa can be as true to their indigenous culture as the Yorubas of Nigeria are, their culture will help them dominate the global creative industry. Let me also congratulate Funke Akindele for smashing the record of not just the highest-grossing Nigerian movie but also establishing a new record as the first movie of Nigerian origin to achieve the two billion Naira box office record. Well done, and may you achieve even more positive historical firsts. I also call on ivory towers around the world to study Yoruba Omoluabi Lukumi culture to understand why it has such a dominance in the arts and provide lessons on how the cultural practices which led to such creative successes can be replicated in other cultures.

Splashme:He is Itsekiri. Besides, he was buttressing one of his old posts on how the indigenous Yoruba package and sell authentic Yotuba stories in music and films then dominates even on global scenes. That's a feat others can learn too He didn't even mention Yoruba-Saxon Production Inc of David and Jessica Oyelowo that is the darling of Apple Tv 13 Likes 2 Shares

PaChukwudi44: U have issues with comprehension. He never called Burna Boy a Yoruba man, Everyone knows he is Ijaw Reno was only trying to list out the names of every Nigerian to ever win Grammy, and Burna Boy is the only Non-Yoruba Nigerian to have ever won that much coveted accolade |

Reno Omokri mentioned English people with Yoruba ancestry that won Grammy awards like Sade ADU. He said 100% Winners of this award with Nigerian ancestry are fully or partially linked to Yoruba. He forgot that there are Americans and British of Igbo ancestry that have won Grammy awards or its equivalent. Tyler the creator has Igbo ancestry and won the award two times. Ne-Yo has Igbo ancestry and won the award 3 times Fat Tony , another artist with Igbo ancestry has won a similar award. Tinie Tempah won Brit Awards (Equivalent of Grammy award) many times, and he has Igbo ancestry. Reno Omokri keeps deceiving his followers with false history 3 Likes 1 Share |

EmperorCaesar: What is Sade ADU, Seal etc doing in the list? Why didn't he include Tyler the creator, Ne-Yo, Tinie Tempah etc? Because they are Igbos and have won such awards. |

In my opinion it's better for 1000 people around me to be making just one million naira yearly selling in their tiny 2 by 2 shops than for only one person near me to earn N1 trillion naira in sales of only one movie. In the land of the blind . . . The one eyed man is king. |
