nwanlecha:
Don't even venture into Nollywood, 'cus ndị Igbo have the best of both worlds when it comes to that. We control the English side of Nollywood, which by the way is spiced up with a heavy dose of Igbo, and we've recently resurrected our Igbo movies, and they are doing so well now. Go to YouTube to feed your eyes.

Nollywood is English speaking movies bro. Igbo speaking movies aren't popular at all. Don't lie to yourself.

The term and ashawo are Yoruba words

That is Yoruba gift to Nigeria

BBC take note

Not according to Nnamdi Kwanu and Rochas

"99% of igbo girls are ashewo".

Depending on where you are staying language rep in the movie industry is probably equal.List the top 5 hottest songs in 9ja ryt now and at least 3 would have yoruba lyrics in it.List the top 5 hottest artist in 9ja ryt now and at least 3 of them would be yorubas.
.
Igbos dominate nollywood,sure.

I don't hear any of those songs in Kenya, Burundi, South Africa what I hear is 'Onyinye' and all those other P-Square songs, and maybe Flavour and Wizkid.

ezeagu:


Cool, but Yemi Alade says hi. Lol. I'm not going into that.

Flavour/P-Square says bye

ArodeTsolaye:


Does Flavour and phyno who are well respected all over africa speak yorrober?

In some of their songs,YES,also,there are yorubas in nollywood who are respected continent-wide,kunle afolayan,desmond elliot,funke akindele etc.

If the Igbo producers don't want them there in nolly, they'll be kicked out back to oshogbo forest to act in your usual ritual/fetish yoruba movies that no one watches but only yorubas. LWKMD

I was thinking you will deny challenge isn't in Ibadan ....


You can sink a nuclear powered submarine with your mouth

Ashewo - igbo girls have taken over

Agberosim - Plenty for igboland too

Drug pushing - Igbos have taken over

Ritualists - plenty for igboland esp abia

Baby factories - Na igbo get am

Kidnapping - na igbo get am, yet they're spreading it to other parts of Nigeria



Is this how the english language is helping y'all?

Don't worry, BBCAfrica created BBCPidgin for igbo people

Too infantile


Oga go sleep
You no get yarns

IlekeHD:


Aww is that why no one watches nollywood anymore?

Quantity, not quality.

Whereas Yoruba movies have festivals in South America......hopefully with BBCYoruba we can spreader further

Go tell that to the millions of people all over the world that now know so many Igbo words all thanks to our Nollywood. Heck, Goodluck Jonathan was hailed as Ìgwè when he visited a certain African country. Where do you think they learnt that from? Your guess is as good as mine.

When I will be jealous is when I get to challenge if I don't see agbero or owo mi da

Then I can be jealous ..but as of now


Any time I get to Oshodi oke and see those urchins


I won't even lose sleep
