Just as Americans who produce movies spread black power?

We're making money out of your past tragic suicidal mission.

Well, not very much it seems, some of those films are grossing less than the production cost...

MegaMan1987:
Sorry but I seriously disagree.

Why are you telling me? Tell UN.

EdCure:
Ibo no be language?

Chai! This new level of marginalization go make them threaten to break up from Africa

Soon dem go start protesting in front of the British embassy, crying of marginalization. When a drunk dances naked in the public every time he is drunk, he will soon lose respect from everyone.

I apologise for that because you are not like those stup1d e-warriors.

You are very funny. I am sure one thing Yorubas are well known for is their pride in their language, culture and heritage, no matter how westernised we grow.

We are proud of our film industry and that was while we could pioneer a local language film station on DSTV, because the audience was there. But, we will not allow some people to lay claim to an industry that belong to the whole country.

Therefore, Nollywood comprises of all the films produced in Nigeria. If igbos want an exclusive igbo dominated industry, they need to create Igboplank of Biafraudwood.

It's good that you are proud of that, so stop rejecting the name of your movie industry which is Yoriwood.
As for Nollywood, take your eyes off it. It was created by Ndị Igbo and has remained an Igbo dominated industry. Y'all can't do nothing to change that.
Apology accepted by the way. No hard feelings.

You say so huh?

Funny how they're still making more money than their igbo counterparts

Not really, these film factories are making multiple returns on their investments.

azzima:
who wants to lose money?igbo station??dem negros are not relevant.

Igbo TV is up and running and even more profitable than the yoruba station. Anyway, whats the need for an igbo stattion when Nollywood is 98% Igbo

ezeagu:
But even northerners that see non Muslims as infidels want to marry Igbo babes. Ntor!

Better put, your babes are dying for the big, strong and reliable ruddy piper of an aboki because the igbos guys are not talented enough.


As usual, it will be a case of noise making and chest beating without performance to back it up in bed.

lmaoo which companies?

Investment spent on overpriced low quality actors/actresses?

I don't know, I don't have experience with northern 'ruddy pipers' (by the way, you seem very merry about that), so, yeah, whatever, I'll take your word for it. I don't know.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, It was not created by Igbos. If you want to create a movie industry that is exclusive for igbos, you will either create it Enugu or Aba.

Nollywood is for Nigerians.

Yoriwood is for yorubas.

kannywood is for northerners.

Ibibio and efik films are for ibibios and efiks.

Where are the Igbo films?

People like Omotola and Mercy Johnson, Segun Arinze, Desmond Elliot etc who really made Nollywood are non-igbos

ezeagu:
English speaking Nollywood is like 20% Igbo. That's why you guys know all these little words. Nollywood is like a Trojan horse for the Igbo language. Ask Kenyans.

That 20% clearly isn't the popular percentage because I don't know anybody that watched Igbo speaking movies. They just aren't popular. I'm sorry if that offends you but the truth hurts.

If Nollywood is 98% igbo dominated could it still be said to belong to the whole country? When you watch nollywood film, what culture is being projected?

ezeagu:
Black Americans/Afro Caribbeans by African family names? Wanna try place names? Wanna try historical figures? I can if you want. Mind you, all I talked about was Igbo soft power, not sizing up to anybody, well, initially.

Still waiting on the list

I hate "Yoriwood" it doesn't sound right. Just call it the Yoruba Movie Industry.

As for the Igbo speaking films.. they are very much like the Igbo language itself. Non existent and largely ignored.

Who cares. You know what Kedu, Biko, and Igwe means right? Mission accomplished. High five, Igbo power!

These are top 20 grossing Nigerian films, highlight the ones that are projecting igbo culture in comaprison with yoruba culture

Most of your fims o not promote any igbo culture. they only show a westernised culture. You do not even have any culture to promote anyway. lol.

Why are you posting Jose Dos Santo for me? Because he's wearing seashells and Candomble clothing?

I've already posted a list in a reply I gave you.

Lol no wahala . even your musicians are spreading Yoruba... and pidgin language. Na wa BBCYoruba and BBCPidgin filled with Yoruba language and slangs

Genevieve Nnaji is the face of Nollywood. Omotola is a B-list actress. Mercy Johnson carved a niche playing igbo roles in nollywood

there is nothing like yoriwood. i was only following his/her line of argument.

Gene who?

Nigga swerve...... everyone knows the elegant omotola

Yes Nollywood is an English/Igbo industry. Also, Nollywood is based in Lagos, Asaba and Enugu, and it is being controlled by ndị Igbo in these cities.

MegaMan1987:
But Nollywood isn't Igbo speaking is it? It's ENGLISH language. And it's based in LAGOS a Yoruba state...Not an Igbo one. Lets see an Igbo speaking movie industry take off? You won't do it because you people don't respect your language. That's just a fact

Mbanụ! Omotala is not a B level actress. Our Nollywood made her though, so we are proud of her.

Films projecting igbo culture still dominates in that list. Why not lets get practical. This is the most popular male yoruba actor who carved a niche playing igbo roles because the industry is igbo dominated.
