Still better than that which is driven by cannibalism and international drug trafficking

So the story has changed from we selling our ancestral land so fast. Just like that?

[color=#990000][/color]This period you Yoruba were doing great too. The like of fela, sunny Ade, Shina peter, Ebenezer obey, barista, Fatai rolling dollar, Olando owo.

For me i think this music thing has evolve, there was a time when the music industry in nigeria was dominated by artist from the south south, especialy from delta, people like, daddy showkey, baba frayo, blacky, oriz wiliki, mike okri, just to mention a few, even during the time of konto, and galala, south south dominated.
But now the yorubas dominate afrobeat while the igbos domiinate nollywood,

You are ahead in music?

That tribe you want to troll are in all fields.

Outside Nigeria they are known by all race. Once oyibo sees you and you say you're Nigeria, he/she will ask are you Ibo.

Forget bragging, Igbos are dominant naturally

This Year Grammy award, Igbo musicians dominated. Real Igbos don't brag with petty, things forget those children online.

Yes they are in all fields as if other tribes are not in all fields… you can’t disappoint us for once.. you don’t brag with petty.. 😂😂😂 just the usual style.. keep Chest beating man. That’s what you’re known for on this platform.🤡🤡🤡

Afrobeats started in Ogba, Agege, Ikeja and Surulere

BeginsAtHome:
Say no more.

Yoruba is Afrobeat.

Fela created it, Wizkid modernized it.

How about Duncan Mighty?

Is he not from Port Harcourt?

Emeskhalifa:
Una must hate everything.

Anything entertainment for Nigeria na Yorubas come fes. No be everything una go dey draw una tribal swords abeg

because tuface na yoruba?

Afrobeat has more yorubas in it now because of olamide, wizkid and Davido but it was not always dominated by yorubas.

Yes we had dbanj but we also have don jazzy who is igbo. it has always been a mix including some Hausas.

Stop this tribal ignorance..

You are bad. Infact, you get bad belle. You know it's not good aren't you?

FreeStuffsNG:
He is right.

Not only music, it is actually the whole entertainment industry in Nigeria nay Africa that is Lagos-centric and Yoruba-dominated.

Owambe is a Yoruba thing and engrained in the Yoruba culture.

Freestuffng....... everyone here knows you and what you stand for.....

You just have to sing in Yoruba

Burna boy knows that

Then igbo has nollywood, but now na yotuba film. The likes of funke akindele, femi adebayo, and some other young stars.
Now for.music, ya Yoruba get am.
Igbo go dey sing with their local flute and agogo komaro. We yoruba salt our music with our language. No wonder white dey come study our language.

He's talking rubbish. Flavour, Phyno, Duncan Mighty etc are proper Igbo men

Even Burna Boy that he called a 'Port Harcourt boy' uses only Yoruba when he pivots to a local language, his folks are old Lagos people. Don Jazzy, arguably the most successful producer in Nigerian history, is Igbo

The music industry is not as clear-cut as he's making it out to be, if you are unable to break in it's because your stuff ain't good enough, not because of Yoruba dominance

LZAA:
Lifestyle that is defined by wastage of funds on frivolities and being broke after?

Nobody dey drag am with una

Normally, an average Emeka thinks everyone is broke and only dem are rich..

Dey your delusional lane..

It is not tribal but factual it's like Nollywood is 80 percent ibo. Even Yoruba films are not classified as Nollywood but called Yoruba Nollywood is either an ibo film in ibo language or an English film. Kunle Afolayon is a Nollywood director because he does it in English. Have you heard of Kannywood ? There is no such thing as Ibo Nollywood since Nollywood is largely ibo from producers, directors, actors and actresses

They even have their own production center in Asaba, to show how much influence they carry

That’s your thought

Doesn’t make it logically true..

Again
Fact is not up for debate
Also "Emeka" isn't selling his father's ancestral land and hosting parties afterwards only to now complain of being......broke

It is obvious that you're so naive. O wa mbe means "e dey there". Which could be translated to "I was there" or "I am there". The term had been in use for hundreds of years before your so called Yahoo and fraudulent lifestyle.

Don't come and corrupt someone else's way and tradition. If you like, you.can also take igba nkwu global.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If I was in the acting game I'd just buy a Huawei smartphone and use the camera for my recording. Start from where I am.

No be everything be TRIBE.

Igbos own HIGHLIFE Music and no arguing that.

Truth is too bitter to some of you.

Your ignorance of truth makes you feel attacked all the time.

Igbos can do better than the "VICTIM" mentality on display always. It is tiring.

I'm not Yoruba.

The modern Nollywood is Igbo made and Igbo dominated

What of Olu Jacob, Joke Silva, Omotola, Hubert Ogundele etc. These are international reknown artists.

Don Jazzy is igbo but his dad is not.

I never said it was bad, just trying to point out that entertainment is an all-comers affair except up north where they are hampered by religious (political) restrictions

The big marketers/distributors during the era of videotape were all Igbo working out of Alaba and Lagos Island...am sure most people on this thread weren't even born back then, or max they were still toddlers

Your deficiency is that you are ignorant of the real meaning of Nollywood. Your assumption is that Nollywood is all about English speaking movies. No. Nollywood is Nigeria film industry that encompasses the English and indigenous oriented language. Yoruba film industry is a Nollywood that features great actors and actresses like Lateef Adedemeji, Femi Adebayo, kola Odunlade, Bimbo Ademoye, Toyin Abraham, Funke Akindele etc. Please, get your fact right and don't be consumed by tribalistic tendencies.

There was never a time the music industry was dominated by the South south. Go read about history of music in Nigeria
