Yoruba’s did, we had mass media before most developing countries I hope you know? Ola Balogun and co were producing movies to mass audiences in the 1970’s. Igbowood started in the 90’s.
I just googled Ola Balogun - he started with documentaries, musicals and stage plays performed by Yoruba traveling theatres. He did try a couple of movies which were not successful (incidentally one of his movies was about an Igbo man's unfulfilled journey in Lagos)
I digress, let us go back to Ola Balogun; he seemed to have shot a movie in Brazil and in Ghana, however Nigeria is the subject country, and Nollywood the subject industry

I am including my reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ola_Balogun
But I am not speaking about documentaries, stage plays, theater, or musicals. am speaking about full-lenth feature film,s mass produced and meant to be purchased individually for home viewing

Nollywood began in Aba (I do not speak of theater, cinema or TV broadcasts). A quick look in google will provide you with these facts

No it didn’t. The pioneers of Nollywood are Yoruba. We have the oldest movies and stage plays. The ones in Aba had to move to Lagos to survive. Do your own research. Lol. Since the days of Pa Ogunde. We don’t boast, we are a humble people.
No sir, the Yorubas started theater. I am talking about mass production of movies designed to be bought individually and watched at home.
I am not talking about TV broadcasts.

As someone from the South South, I take only one thing from your stupid post- " The South South are taking our rightful place"
This is the warning I have been giving to all South South people that the Igbos only want to dominate the South South and their game plan is to keep us under that domination as long as possible. The next time I see someone from the South South supporting an Igbo candidate, I will personally deal ruthlessly with such a fool.
Bro, I am South-East/South-South. He does not speak for the average Igbo man. That he is typing Igbo is no guarantee that he is Igbo. I can speak basic hausa.

Not with umu iberibes like yourself that can't see past their nose. Our leaders including obi himself need to realign and go back to building alliance across board. Call obi to order. He should go back to PDP, let's see what we can salvage from the damage.

Your annoyance is that I said you should stop blaming others and rise up and rectify the matter.

Solution is for Igbos to go back to PDP and build a structure within PDP. Not this divide and rule.
There is nothing wrong with you my brother joining PDP, spending your money for PR, and gaining the trust of people and leading them back to PDP.
Obi is not stronger, or wiser than you. You can do greater things than he has done. Stop the blame game; Just believe in yourself.

We should build alliance. Politics is a give and take. It's not charity. We had the best chance under PDP. Tinubu has played this our mind of politics in the past with ACN and the other Yoruba party and it didn't work. To succeed politically in Nigeria, you need alliance with other regions. We had a strong alliance with the North and South under PDP. We should go back to PDP even though it's late now. Go back to PDP, fight for your sloth . Align with the North and deliver and Igbo presidency.

Obi playing local politics won't take us anywhere.
Beautiful suggestion.
Now have you joined PDP? Have you risen in ranks through PDP?
Have you gotten an appointment through PDP?
How are you using that appointment through PDP to help your brothers?
How are you using your PDP appointment to gain the trust of your people?

Do you know that you can remedy what Peter Obi "spoilt"?
Go and do it brother. Go in might. Peter Obi is not your problem. What he can do, you can do greater

Or is it only in Lagos election is holding??
Or is it that there are no Labour Party candidates there?

Nna, Ina egbu oge with these people. They don't understand. It's like the time of Nnamdi Kanu. Everyone is thinking and moving in one direction.
Peter Obi has taken Igbos several steps backwards. Infact I pity Anambra because APGA is dead. Soludo will find it hard working with these new Labour Party House Of Assembly members.
Now the only states Labour Party is likely to win are in the South East. Where will that take us politically as Igbos?
Bros, let us assume that Peter Obi has caused the whole Igbo tribe backwardness. He is the scape goat abi?
As a oracle and a trailbrazer, tell us the solution.

There are 3 major tribes in Nigeria. It's not hating, it is the truth. Politically igbos have retrogressed so much. SS has had the presidency before the igbos and is poised to do it again before the igbos.

The polarization obi is bringing now might end up in a civil war. The guy is a devil.
You see, you are part of the Igbos that instead of pulling their brothers up, look for the nearest person to blame. In this case, you are using Peter Obi as the scape goat. Okay, now you have found Obi, the scape goat, what is your solution. Can you provide a solution.
It is wrong to be a person who is quick to find a problem but will not provide a solution along with the identification of the problem.
Can you now propose a good solution?
PoliticsRe: Peter Obi: The Worst Thing To Happen To Igbos Since Independence by Shokoloko(f):
Neither Peter Obi nor Soludo is the problem of the Igbos. Igbos are the problem of themselves.
Answer these questions ; Which tribe moved Nollywood from Aba to Enugu to Asaba and finally to Lagos? Which tribe has refused to develop the Ariaria market to world standards? Which tribe has refused to take advantage of the myriad of hotels in Imo state and turn that state into a tourist state? Which tribe is forcing themselves to sit at home? Is it the South-south? Is it Yoruba? Or Hausa? You, the OP, how many of your Igbo brothers have you established?
How can you demand that Nigeria love you more than you love yourselves? Charity begins AT HOME.

Peter Obi has single handedly pulled the Igbo nation decades back.

His singular irrational ambition has enthroned APC for at least the next 8 years if not 16. It has enthroned Muslim domination. Igbos have lost our at the center with no clear path of finding our way back.

Obi is the biggest loser in this election. Alex Otti in Abia state would have won even if he contested under Sowore's party. LP will only take Anambra state backwards. Soludo would be fighting more to stay then concentrate on working for the people. Obi is a dangerously ambitious he goat. There's greater polarization between Igbos and Yorubas. The worst since 1967.

It pains me because I'm igbo. No strong Igbo alliance in APC, PDP. The SS are taking our rightful position. The elections are over. We would go back to screaming marginalisation and Biafra while others reap from Nigeria.

Obi should never have happened and he should be taken down. His continued ambition is doing nothing but harm to the average igboman.
Please hush. What do you mean the SS is taking your rightful position. You are fanning flames of enmity. There is nothing like rightful position. Both south-south and south-east can prosper. What kind of trash talk is this?
The polarization between Igbos and Yorubas has always been, yet we still lived together. The only difference is that social media is broadcasting hitherto hidden tribalism.
Please there is nothing like rightful place. Who God has blessed, he has blessed.

You might call them economic Illiterates but they happen to have the most developed region in Nigeria AKA Lagos.
if they are able to with their illiteracy trick other tribes into coming to develop their areas, and then turn back and tell those tribes that they cannot vote in a place where they developed, then maybe there is something to learn from them

If Igbos can get 11 loyalists for every one traitor they can make the South-East great again.
Do you know the impact Abia can attain if they have a working governor who can develop Ariaria market and their crafts business?
Who moved Nollywood from Enugu to Lagos? It was Igbos who moved it.
With all the hotels in Imo state do you know how easy it will be for Imo State to become a Healthcare city full of spas, and hospitals for advanced surgeries but the political class do not want to develop it

Do you know that if Abia state can get a working governor, do you know that a developed Ariaria market in Abia can paralyze market activities in the South-South. As in the whole of South -South will have to go to Ariaria.
Do you know what a well- run Onitsha market can do.
Why was Nollywood allowed to move from Enugu to Asaba to Lagos?

Don't fall for this nonesense narrative. If Lebanese own Eko Atlantic and Chinese own lekki free trade zone nothing stops Igbo from owning whatever they want in Lagos or anywhere in the world for that matter
It's not about what we are falling or not falling for. In a sane society, Igbos ca now whatever they want, but they continue to be discriminated against in Yoruba land.
I don't see threads being opened about Lebanese or Chinese people. For some reason, Yorubas just do not want Igbos in their space.
In this elections Igbos are not being allowed to vote in Yoruba land.
Even Yorubas that look like Igbos are not being allowed to vote.
It's ridiculous but it is happening.
The next thing after refusal to vote is the government will probably roll out taxes or increase taxes on property owned by people with Igbo sounding names

OK, they said they should be granted a country of their own Nigeria refused.
If Igbo is really your problems, just help hasten up the division immediately. So everyone can bear his father's name.
Exactly, but who will speak up for the Igbos to have their own country. The Igbos need to raise powerful political juggernauts who can negotiate the breakaway of this country. The problem here is that the masses want their own country but the Igbo elite want to remain in Nigeria. Look at Elumelu aligning with Tinubu so openly, look at how most Igbo politicians insulted Peter Obi.
Igbos have refused to understand that other tribes are not their problem; their enemies are in-house

then Lagos State will turn to town. U think is moimoi to have Igbos in Lagos? They contributing a lot to the development of every area in Lagos.
No, as someone with ties to the South-East the time has come for Igbos to look away from Lagos and look towards their own land.
Even if they contribute their lives, they will never be accepted in Lagos.
The key is for South -Easterners to vote good governors who will in turn put pressure on the FG to provide ports, that will solve the problem.
