OK no wonder, I've always wondered how come they use them to act the bad side in those movies. They either act the 'olosho' role or they act as the thieves while the Yorubas act the responsible roles. Yet these 'efulefu's' cannot see that their tribes are been denigrated through those films. I once watched one using her big breast to dance in a useless erotic manner to one Fuji musicians rubbish song. Why must they be used to play those bad roles why. Are there no Yoruba actor/ actress that can play that role?

When money is involved that's where you see them. Bullsh1t

Why are you like this? Why are you looking for malice where there is none?
I think any role that anyone acts, they don't inscribe it on them that they're Ibo or Yoruba. You're just a trouble maker.

cool Actually bros the Yoruba movie acting is far more convincing than the rest of Nollywood. The actors don't shout unneccessarily and are very convincing. Their lines make sense. Most of the Nigerian movies I watch are Yoruba. Give it a try dude but if you don't understand Yoruba then forget it because the subtitles won't do it justice.

The bold is una hallmark, filled with juju can't even subtitle properly, will never waste my time to watch those kind of Trash.

cool una? so because I like Yoruba movies I am automatically Yoruba. I like American Indy movies too so that must mean I am also American. This in a thread that celebrates prominent non-Yoruba actors in Yoruba movie industry. Na wa o. Anyway, the subtitle issue affects all African language movies not just Yoruba. I tried watching an Ashanti/congolese movies with subtitles and gave up. But I understand Yoruba so I don't need it subtitles for Yoruba movies. If you understand Yoruba then try comedies with actors like Sanyeri, Mr. Latin, Odunlade, Ijebu etc. These guys are amazing walahi. cool

A man's gift makes room for him,he will sit with kings not mean men.
Secondly,they learnt the yoruba language showing they love the people.Others would out of hate not want anything with them.
So bros Humans are the same everywhere.
Apart from their ability to speak yoruba,I think their complexion is a plus.I hear a yoruba actress confirm this in an interview,when she was asked why she bleaches.

There's no way I would believe there are yorubas, even with typical Yoruba names I won't believe, regarding their beauty and outlook

This analysis is shows that indigenous Yorubas are not working hard to take over there yorobawood industry, how can foreigners come and learn your language and overpower you in your own language movie, remember that yorobawood came as a result of Igbonization of Nollywood, this people that where displaced from nollywood run to the yorobawood and overpower the locals

You are a fool. You're part of the (majority) people who don't want Nigeria to coalesce. The actresses can't speak yoruba that's why they're there abi? To you Obama is a Kenyan that tolerant America allowed to rule over them. Did you know that an "Ibo" was the main man expected to contest for Opposition Labour leader in the UK parliament? I bet you don't. Your head is buried in the sand of Nigerian tribal backwardness. ALL TRIBE IS LEARNED. TRIBE IS LIKE POLITICAL PARTY THAT HAS LASTED FOR CENTURIES

What a useless thread! who are they? Don't even know most of these people though.
Well Nollywood have lots of actors and actresses that ain't even Igbo but no one cares. Even dem Yorubawood actors and actresses are also desperately attaching themselves to Nollywood.
nollywood means movies made in nigeria be it english-, yoruba- or uhrobo-speaking. Dont expose your narrow-mindedness.
