I am not feeling superior

I am superior

There's a clear difference and I want you to appreciate that difference

Baba, joke apart, I will floor you in everything in real life. Joke apart.

So stop boasting.

kayfra:
We are the greatest in Nigeria. No doubt about that

We are pioneers and everyone and their dog knows the truth. Creating an alternate universe isn't going to make you competitive

Greatest in Nigeria?

Okay, how many Yoruba football players has ever won the European champions league?

Greatest in everything?

Living in Bondage popularised the cheap movie industry and began the death of the celluloid shot movies. It was no longer feasible to shoot expensive movies when the alaba traders were shooting straight to CD and pirating everything. It killed movie theaters and almost bankrupted Baba Sala and Ade Love

Thank God for the Yoruba Renaissance. Taking back what was ours

That's a very disappointing statement from a tribalism tainted person. You have been making this argument just to feel superior, neglecting superior facts just to feel good even if you are lying.

That's why I hate arguing with you guys. You argue with bitterness because you think others wants to supplant you. It's very unhealthy.

kayfra:
Trash

If I get into theatre arts and playwrights then you won't even survive this argument. I stuck with movies but if you want me to bring traveling theatres then this will be a domination by the Afonjas

Baba, problem you people have is always claiming to be greatest in everything. its not healthy for making friends and maintaining relationships. Accept we started nollywood and save yourself this headache.

Things fall apart is a popular Chinau Achebe book with a movie adaptation. The movie wasn't produced or directed by Nigerians and one of the lead actors is even Yoruba (Orlando Martins). The Director has a German sounding name and this is the imdb link

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0208779/

We loved things fall apart like we loved the village headmaster and a lot of its contemporaries, but they all have to belong to an era,

Living in bondage started an industry.

Armaggedon:
living in bondage pioneered movie making as business!

Thank you. Most people wouldn't have considered reading theater arts till they saw living in bondage. It was the trigger for the business we call Nollywood today.

kayfra:
Living in bondage ko, living in diapers ni

That was the first well organised movie that attracted international attention to Nigeria movie industry. That was the first film that put a name to movie actors and made them mega stars.

Living in bondage made thousands choose theater arts and subsequently blew to billionaire status.

Armaggedon:
I didn't see "everybody" in my comment you quoted. BTW you don't need to watch it to know it was known all over the country.

Living in bondage started an unprecedented revolution in the country, thousands of men and women were picked off the streets and became actors overnight, hotels boomed, eateries soared, real estate boomed and entire sections of markets started selling only movies and films for the first time. Iweka road, Market road Aba, Idumota, Iwo road and Kaduna started receiving tons of new movies weekly.

That is the birth of Nollywood !

Silly revisionists!

Papa Ajasco and all these silly secondary school concerts were shot as Nollywood movies in 35mm films, transferred to VCD and DVD and sold as movies abi?abi?
You guys just love lies and trying to revise facts.

Don't mind the revisionists that will never give credit to others for great achievements.

One day another one will tell me Yorubas has a senate president before Igbo

Living in bondage started Nollywood.

All other films and series before it were mere rehearsal for the main event.

Igbo also had many videos before living in bondage but they don't count them because they were forerunners to Nollywood.

kayfra:
Ask your parents. Ok scratch that. They were too poor to buy movie tickets or VHS players

Would be yoruba if you don't throw insults?

kayfra:
He was either taken out of context or he misspoke

Which makes him a slow person? Stop insulting osinbaba .

jimyjames:
These movies you mentioned are not even known by Nigerians , nollywood gain global recongnition through Igbo movies , the rich culture of the Igbo's portrayed in nollywood movies known globally .

Even my yoruba classmates here said they never heard of these backyard series.

This is a result of awolowo failed free education, equating local backyard stories told to amuse ourselves to mega money big budget movies that created a whole new industry called Nollywood.

T9ksy:
yeah, Jonathan aka mr. "Stealing is not corruption" really tried but as per his words, he should be in exile now.

Jonathan is a much better president than Buharri will ever be, even if given another 8 years.

ThatFairGuy:
You must be the one with dyed hair

No, that guy is my yoruba friend. A good musician.

ThatFairGuy:
Stop spamming every thread with fake pictures of procession

Okay, I won't do that again.

Farki:
I've seen malnourished children but not something this bad, please who did Nigeria offend?

To make matters worse, these children have their northern relatives posing with billion naira cars this very week. This is very bad.

ThatFairGuy:
Hmmmn

Yes

Fake news

Isiguzoro has long been expelled by Ohaneze , he is working for Nigeria now.

GenBuhari:
Which Buhari? the president that has not appeared live in going to 3months?

Is he under house arrest like Osinbaba?

Freedom

Afenifere is very correct to say that.

Emmacolinho:
Biafra MUST come

We will never give up!

Port Harcourt is in compliance

Seetto:
I think you should be ashamed of yourself, a Fulani Muslim terrorists bigot is giving you what your adopted godson failed to deliver in 6 years

Wow!

Jonathan Goodluck really tried.
