Even after this, a portion of what he quoted, was expanded and highlighted for him this fool still went ahead to say the highlighted

I'm done, I'm talking to a dumbass who has terrible reading comprehension.

Even 2016 has become 2008

You suck at English and Math. God sure don't like you.

Go make your yoruba movie industry profitable maybe then you won't be pathetically trying to attach to Igbo dominated industry as attested by people within that industry.

Revenues from special screenings, DVD sales, online streaming and theatrical screenings outside Nigeria are excluded from this gross tota


Looolx loolss

Lools

Let me make this simple for you, who makes all the money and take all the glory for movie productions, cds hawking Looolss

Dude, your definition for ' dominance ' is soooo whack mehnnnnn

Yey

Nonaira1:
Your dumbass. It's easier to monitor the theater sales over the sales of DVD and video streaming as the sales of tickets is easier to attest that sales of the two which spread across several middle men. That's why movie industry worldwide counts theater sales predominately over dvd sales. Nollywood on the other hand is a DVD and video streaming industry than Theater as most Nigerian movies are immediately distributed as DVD without touching the theater. Using theater sales to mointor the industry is one of the stupidest thing one person can do.

Again who is better to know wtf is going on in an industry over the people in that f2king industry. Heck even ALEX OSIFO (an old, being in the industry for years, veteran author) actually stated the same thing the young ones said. In one of his interview where he spoke of Yoruba movie industry. He stted and I "The actor said despite Yoruba movie industry being in existence before the Nigerian English films produced by the Igbos, the Yoruba movie industry has not been able to matched their English counterpart."

Between you and Trump who would know more about what's going on in his administration? Not you
Between you, Halle Berry, Lupita Nyong'o, Jim Kerry, Angelina Jolie, Mike Epps, Meghan Fox, etc who would know more what's going in Hollywood? Not you
Between you, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, 2 chains, Future, etc who would know more about what's going on in the Rap industry of Hollywood? Not you
Like wise between you, Uche Jombo, Halimar Abubakar, etc who would know more about what's going on in Nollywood? Not you.


Really? Have you even clicked on any of the threads on NL created about Yoruba actors and actresses? What do you notice each time you check on one? Either people are asking who the Bleep they are (this are people in the country where they hail from and their movies are produced and sold) and/or it's empty as hell. Heck only that edo lady (Mercy) that plays in your industry seems to get the most views whenever a topic is made on her. If people in your country that aren't one of you are clueless on who the authors in your own industry are aka unpopular, tell your story to someone who would believe you.
Even one of your author, Funsho Adeolu, made the comment " “There is no big money in Yoruba movies but I have realized that they are after knowledge, even though they are not as read as the English people.” Even one of your own, Abiodun Koya, who is supposedly well known in UK even stated that Yoruba movies turn her off due to how bad it is. Likewise even Uche jombo mentioned it is an unpopular industry in that movie industry.
If people within that industry stated all that about it, who the Bleep you think you trying to fool.

O your long episode again

So, in a nutshell, your own definition for ' dominance' is selling hawking and selling these movies cds

Wait a minute, like serious, you can't even account for who sell what or not. You claim ibo dominate that aspect ( nollywood) base on that, like WTF? We talking about the impact of nollywood movies general in the world and the quality of movies produce this one is talking about WTF is this dude OK at all so,its now about who spread or hawk movies cds and not the quality works and movies producers

Lmao

Nonaira1:
Yes you do especially when it's coming from the WORDS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY IN QUESTION.

Who is best to know exactly who or what dominate that industry other than the people that is actually in the industry?

You asked me to give you the list of the gross producing movies. I did just that and informed you it is might desperate to try and attach using a list of movies added together in an industry that produces quantity of movies per year. Equally informed you it is desperate to try and use a figure that did not include the major aspect of that movie industry and only focused on movie theater which is the minor part of that industry considering majority of it's movies are direct DVD sales, not theater. You dismissed all that because you pathetically wish to be part of what you are not.

Therefore I resorted to speaking on the actors whom have spoke exactly on what we talking about. Once more in your pathetic attempt to attach, you dismiss them as "old glory" completely forgetting all mentioned are new actors and actress excluding one.

In addition quoted an unbiased individual who has been monitoring/studying that industry for more 20 years. Yet again you dismissed him and his book because it does not correlate with your delusions.

Like I said before, if Yoruba had a hand in English speaking nollywood progression, that would have equally been witnessed in your yoruba speaking movie industry despite several years of its existence. The fact I'm seeing Igbo speaking movies up here in america yet it restarted few years ago says alot. Likewise your culture would have dominated the plot of the english speaking industry and till date, it has not!!! Go make yourself relevant so you don't have to attach

I'm going to quote hayes one more time due to being unbiased in this and his been studying it for 25 years before writing his book.

Why should we bother whether yoruba nollywood is know worldwide or not when we already hold it down in English nollywoodz,does that make sense at all

Well your dusty articles is dated to 2008 abeg.

Why not let's consider your first wiki link that states yoruba English nollywood producers,actors and directors dominate. Why dug up old stuffs


O, what of these high raking nollywood nigeria movies under yoruba movie producers,director.. that made it round the world, i.e, half of the yellow sun,30 Days in Atlanta,The CEO et al

Ofcourse you hatred and jealous towards yoruba tribe won't let you confess nor see that nah
To top it all,anybody could have wrote that article base on the reality or oral information available as at then. God knows where you dug that old article from. But I am sure it's as old as my black bombom sef
Yeye dey smell

Nonaira1:
You've been crying throughout this page. I directed you to exactly the people in that industry to wail to.

Is that so. Yes your stanch is on 38 movies that is theater based and discluding the most aspect of the movie industry aka the DVD sales as well as the reason we are arguing this aka it's international sales and focus on the theater.

In addition, crying about old glory because the words of the people in that industry isn't the same as your attempt to attach like your afonja tribe is known to do.

Secondly: so you telling me a man that went to live in Nigeria in year 1991 to study that nation's movie industry and have been in there studying it's movie industry since then and have worked tremendously with the people in the industry as well as monitored the progression of the industry for more years to count is clueless on WTF he is saying. Na so you dey say? Shame no dey your body?

Let me ask one question. Afonja you dominate yoruba speaking industry. Why is it currently still unpopular and unknown despite years of it's production by you people? If you had a hand in the English speaking progress why is your language speaking movie industry have yet to break outside of your South West Region eeh?

* Money generated goes to who if not the producer or director of the movie. So what's the fuss about who sell or don't sell Cd.

* Words of people in that industry base on what? Individual complains or perception, isn't it? The wiki you provided above said otherwise as of today's reality,didn't it? Dude, it's all about quality, get it no quantity abeg.

* Unpopular, says who? I have friends in africa countries that loves and watches yoruba movies of nollywood,and English producers as provided in you wiki link. And, Who dominate that wiki link again

Nonaira1:
In the words of the people in the industry actors and actresses, marketers and distributors, filmmakers, film writers, etc. Infact go and tell Halima abubakar and Azuh Amatus to stop lying on AGN which is the Actors Guild of Nigeria, which is the group that control that industry, as being predominately Igbo. Inform them to stop lying ooo

Let me say it one more time. Go and make your Afonja speaking movie industry something to marvel at. Maybe then, you won't be pitifully trying to attach by force. I spoke my own.

Take your wails to Halima, Uche, Amatus, and co as well as Hayes

Guild of nigeria ibo fraction of nollywood, ofcourse.

So far you've failed to provide any facts to back your claim other than oral figures,and ofcourse after been expose of your wiki link you diverted the discussion and changed tone.

Yes, I agree ibos have their segment but what I am saying is that ibo don't dominate anymore in production,directors among others.
If you think I dey lie prove me wrong now

Dude, when we talking dominance you don't just cone with oral figures,news..you come up with the numbers of procedures,directors,quality of movies(not quantity) and how much they generate, with figureeeeeeeee o

Nonaira1:



Did an Afonja really just talk about "old glory" You mean the same race of clowns that always remind us of the being the "first this and that" that happened in the 60s is talking about "old glory" Chineke na


And yes oooh a book written in 2016 as well actors and actress comments from 2010- 2016 are all old glory

Go and cry to the actors and actresses jor.
While doing so, tell Hayes to rewrite his book and produce another one in 2017. The information he got from the people in the industry are all false. Na "old glory"

I should go and cry for who exactly? Listen to ya self nah. My stances as always been the reality of what we have bow in nollywood. What book, a book that couldn't quote figures of movies produced,list directors et al was where you drew you figures from

I swear u are a joke.

I an still waiting for your answer : where do ibo dominate now in nollywood

Nonaira1:
We talking about Nollywood which started making wave in 1992 and expanded past Africa in the 2000s. We aren't talking about Nollywood cinema. We are talking about NOLLYWOOD. The African movies that releases movies on DVD on monthly basis which is currently one of the fastest movie industry. Keep up with the thread.

I repeat go cry about Igbo dominance in Nollywood to several of the actors and actresses in the industry for repeatedly stating the fact you wish to be pact of.

Go make your Afonja speaking industry something to marvel at. Stop trying to attach to Igbo own. Have shame

Dude, you keep abusing the word ' dominance ' pray tell me how do ibo dominate nollywood now exactly. Please I am waiting for facts and figures. And do try to include the area in which ibo dominate

Make I corner u small

Nonaira1:
Th words of HALIMA ABUBAKAR (actress in Nollywood), RUKKY SANDA (Actress in Nollywood), and NORBERT YOUNG (Actor in Nollywood) , AZUH AMATUS (Actor in Nollywood), UCHE JUMBO (Actress in Nollywood).

Even your own Kunle Afolayan attested during his apology for blaming Igbo for piracy that there are more igbo movies out there (PRODUCERS or whatever the heck he is in Nollywood)

AZUH AMATUS

Attached in a book by Johnathan Haynes titled Nollywood: The Creation of Nigerian Film Genres written in 2016. Written AFTER several years of direct engagement with people in that industry.

Yeah I'll believe the people in the people in the industry as well as an author who interacted and asked several people in the industry over your pathetic attemp to claim attachment.

Go and make you Afonja speaking Movies something to marvel at maybe then you won't be this pitiful

..but you used to be intelligent on nairaland, what happened to you or has your moniker been hijacked

Tell me please, are these old junks,oral stats or whatever you copied up there relevant at all, how please?..because they are figures or what

Keep dwelling on papa nnkchi complains,oral figures. O wait you've suddenly changed you tone and discarded you initial wiki link

Lmao

Continue dwelling on old glory abeg. It's 2017 baby and ibo don't dominate poo.

Nonaira1:
So 38 movies made nollywood?

I'm just going to leave you with this quotation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Nigerian_films


Next time READ and COMPREHEND before quoting sh1t you dumbass.


READ. READ it is not hard to READ!!!!!

O yeah. Ofcourse I read that right. So where exactly is the domination

Borrow ya self brain nah. Shouldn't your stubborn head tell you that you can't account for what you have no figure for

And wait is that your defination for ' domination ' Wait oo is this dude ok We are talking about nollywood of cinema now,2016-2017 this one is talking about ibotic movies of old.

Looolx

Nonaira1:


does this fool truly believe 38 movies is what made nollywood one of the fastest movie industry in the world? Is this Afonja serious? Are you that desperate?

You have to be seriously brain dead to the core to believe Nollywood progress falls underneath those 38 movies.

Nollywood produces thousands of movies per day and very few of it are theater released movies. What was counted in your gross was THEATER RELEASED movies you dumb goat. The movie that started multiple documentary in Nollywood due to it's spread among the caribbeans in London and America Aka Osofia in London was not in your list. why? because it was not theater released. Blackberry babe which I can personally PERSONALLY tell you when it first came out was one of the most watched nollywood movie in African community in America was not in your list. You wanna know why? It is not theater released you incompetent rat. Did this really needed to be explain to you? Like how brain dead do you get?
Like Seriously?

You Afonja continue to get pathetic and pitiful with each pass day. Like I told the other girl, I'll take you lots seriously the day your afonja speaking movie industry goes past your afonja land. Heck if you couldn't expand your cinema past nigeria and the western movies dominated you that Gowon had to step you to help. The Bleep makes una delude yourself you had any contribution to expanding nollywood to what it is currently. All you Afonja did was jump in the band wagon and tried to assert yourself as part of the relevant when you weren't.

And no you did read the article sending it to me to read. As you actually provided it to me by stating and I quote 'here's the list of the most gross nollywood list" immediately after your reply to the wikipedia list I gave you. Your save facing attempt makes you look more pathetic!

Loolz ofcourse not. I agree with you nah but where is your new stats nah

Mumu. I know you so well to be stubborn shame no go let him admit you lose again.

Oya nah bring ya new figures again abi nah oral 'domination' you wan use again
This dude right here no get shame at all. After being called out and exposed with his own figure he's resulted to ' numbers of what makes nollywood big' dumbo. Yeye thing you better accept the fact that ibo are no longer the major players anymore.

O yes, I agree these number isn't what makes nollywood nah. And then what, what else do u have to prove your so called ibo (oral)domination

Yeye thin

igbodefender:
Nothing bad there. The more the merrier. We are all Nigerians. I was just correcting some misconceptions about the origin of Nollywood itself.

I guess you are well learned.
Yes, origin of nigeria movies name ' nollywood'

There's only 8 igbos in the list

Afonja and propaganda even when the shit is staring them in the face my God.

Btw: why are you giving me a link of a blog that copied exactly wtf I gave you. Like how brain dead are you?


Next time READ WTF the blog you linking people to said before posting it.

Your blog got its information Wikipedia which is wtf I gave you. You pretty much gave me the same shit that you're trying to counteract you buff00n. READ next time Nigga read!!!

For crying out loud are we talking about cd or sales of cds here
What exactly is your decimation of ' domination'

Yes, my link confirmed yours, but unfortunately on these two links we have less than 8 ibos. Did you even go through your own link or d you want me to do justice to it by copying the names here

igbodefender:
Nollywood is another undeniable case of Igbo ingenuity. Let us tell ourselves the truth!

Every tribe has its own contributions, but Nollywood is a multi-billion dollar movie industry created in 1991 by Igbo traders in Iweka Road, Onitsha who wanted to get people to buy VCDs, and it worked!.

Big ups to the Igbos!

Oga, nollywood is now beyond ibo it's grown far and wide and spreads across all tribe especially among yoruba,ss and ibo.

Take a look at the stats provided by your fellow ibo below:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Nigerian_films

The word ' dominate ' must stopped being abused by we Nigerians abeg

Nonaira1:
I did exactly that

12 our of 38 are yoruba produced and written.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Nigerian_films

Mind you this list is a mixture of several years. In addition nollywood is known for one thing quantity of movies per annual.

You even tried to be relevant from collection of movies from each years added together

Btw: Rukky Sanda isn't the only one that spoke of igbo dominance in English speaking nollywood.

Halima Abubakar also spoke of it

Norbet Young equally spoke of it and had an interview where he stated that nollywood should be renamed igbowood due to the dominance of Igbos in that industry. Mind you Norbet is not from my side of delta

No matter how you slice and dice it, Afonja you are the only one trying to attach your pathetic self in what your irrelevant in

And according to the stats provided by you there were less than 8 ibos on that lists

Must you lie ni

And what the heck..what about those frustrated actresses? What has their over a year complains and lamentations got to the do with reality now

Tell that to your Afonja brethren.

I still watch Nollywood movies so take your story to the gods.
Heck last i checked few years ago one of your wannabe actress sister, Rukky Sanda, was crying about how directors and producers discriminate against because she's yoruba, not igbo. Please go and inform her that "nollywood big producer are yoruba" . Hurry up so she's stop wailing to about tribalism contributes to her poor hiring in that industry. Big producer ni, big producers ko.

Funny dude!
You are only arguing base on oral make-believes.
And who the he..ll is rocky and what business has she got to do with what we are arguing about on here

We talking facts you talking nonsense, why not let's focus on where ibo dominate the so called nollywood... in production,directing,number of movies or quality movies or indigenous language
Heck,you often try to cover the reality with ya long episode maybe we can argue here like matured,real men and base on facts because as it is you haven't proved any of us here wrong but only talk about your long episode of nollywood movies experience.

Abeg, google[b]official list of the highest-grossing Nigerian movies -
[/b] and see who's now the big players and people who dominate nollywood of today

julietm123:
Dstv pitied Igbos indeed mtcheeew. 99%of Nollywood is igbo content that was why there was no igbo channel initially except you want to lie to yourself. Ask biola alabi who fought against Igbos channel the thing be.

Stop the lies abeg. When you talk about contents we talk about producers,stake holders and directors among others.
Can you prove the so called " 99% ibo contents as today where nollywood stands?

Nonaira1:
Why are Afonja so naturally dumb that even when they display stupidity they actually truly believe they are out doing who they are arguing with. You do realize you are making yourself look dumber by the second correct?

Nollywood was made what it is by igbo. This is a well known, undiluted FACT.

There was no igbo movies you rat until recently. Hell fEwu years ago there was a festival where they urged igbo producers to start making movies in igbo language. Igbo producers stopped producing igbo speaking movies after osofia, living in bondage, etc went viral in the 90s. Since they went past igbo audience, igbo producers/directors started doing all their movies in English. Igbo dominated the English department of Nollywood and that's a well known fact. Pick up ANY Nollywood movies from the 90s, early 20s and recently...fast forward to the end credit and read the of both the authors as well as the film crew. Only an idiot would think yoruba and Hausa played any role in Nollywood expansion. You jumped on their bandwagon that's wtf you did.

Yoruba movie industry is very much LOCAL. Heck majority of the yoruba authors and actresses posted on this forum, most people that aren't yoruba are clueless on who they are. It is equally been reported on the yoruba authors and actress make extremely little due to the lack of exposure of that movie industry hence some of then have been caught with criminal activities to survive while some are trying to break into the english movie scene as the Yoruba authors and actresses making money are in that industry. Likewise the same for Hausa industry.

The only difference is Hausa were bold enough to separate themselves from Nollywood and called themselves Kannywood. Thus, we see exactly what kannywood relevance in terms of Nollywood. Afonja on the other hand too pathetic and pitiful to separate themselves from Nollywood in order to stay relevant. That's just how pathetic you lots are.
Even igbo producers that have now stated igbo speaking movies separated igbo speaking movies from the english speaking by calling it igbowood despite the english industry was/is their baby.

Afonja are the only three toof pathetic to stand by themselves. Always want to use others relevance to stay relevant. Pathetic!!

And the story continue..

All these long episode with no prove nor facts to counter the the facts he provided? What is all these for, for crying out loud you failed to prove the dude wrong.

Dominate in what area exactly, numbers of ibo actresses or actors? Dude, nollywood is just a title ibo gave nigeria movie industry heck that doesn't mean it belongs to ibo except you want to talk about nollywood of old with ibotic accent and title " baba nkena goes to enugu ". Things have changed abeg, infact nollywood big producers and movie makers are yorubas and SS people. Facts

Why must you always expose your foolishness? MTN Nigeria is a subsidiary of MTN Group headquatered in SA. Dozie is just a figurehead, so you are not fooling anybody, bwoy. While Glo on the other hand is fully owned by and in the firm hands of Mike Adenuga, and is no subsidiary of any parent company, you dumba$$.

Smile Nigeria is a franchise of the South African Smile (check the logo of both companies). Yorubas own Spectranet which has the largest market share in that space. It's like you Igbos prefer to franchise other people's brands rather than build your own original ones. Na so Stanel Group franchise both Chicken Republic (Yoruba-owned) and Mega-Chicken (Yoruba-owned) -- brands that have already been painstakingly built by others. Why did he avoid the likes of Igbo-owned Tetrazzini?? Smh.

Visafone has been acquired by MTN Group, and besides, the company's footprint in the industry is almost non-existent so you are free to chest-beat over that all you want.

Ha!

It's finished! No more comment.

BY SAHARA REPORTERSAUG 11, 2006



Mohammed Babangida, polo player and first son of former military president Ibrahim Babangida was arrested earlier today by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from his Abuja hotel suite, sources told Saharareporters.

 
 A source within the EFCC confirmed that his arrest was part continuation of a prolonged probe into the ownership of GLOBACOM, a telecom company owned by Mike Adenuga who was recently arrested by the EFCC.

 
Mohammed Babangida is alleged to posses 24% ownership in the $1.5 billion company. He had earlier been invited by the EFCC to explain how he came about the wealth used in purchasing the shares and he denied knowledge of such investments. The EFCC source said their investigation finally paid off after Mike Adenuga revealed this to the EFCC during his arrest and interrogation.  Mike Adenuga had long been rumored as a front for retired General Babangida, who is unarguably one of Nigeria’s most corrupt past leaders.

 
 When he was arrested, Mike Adenuga who was the largest donor to President Obasanjo's Presidential Library Project last year, was said to be involved in so many shady deals and illegal transfer of funds on behalf of public officials in Nigeria to foreign accounts.

 
Mohammed, according to our sources also owns oil blocks in Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea as well as several buildings in London even though he never held a real job his entire life.

Babangida is a share holder @24% pray tell us what happen to the remaining 76%?

Looolx

Guy, you don come with your opata yarns. When we talk of ICT, it goes beyond buying and selling phone and computer hardware at computer village. There's the Software and Hardware side to ICT. Your people merely trade in computer hardware and parts. The software, refurbishment and repairs services section of the market also exists and is in the firm hands of the Yorubas in the same market. You guys aren't generally known for skilled trades/labour, but rather prefer to 'buy and sell' -- this can be seen in igbo general preference for trading anywhere you find them, while other tribes like Yorubas are more technically inclined (go to Ladipo, na Yorubas dey into auto servicing and repairs while your guys trade in spare parts).

Even the president of Computer and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN) at computer village, a Yorubaman by the way, said:



Everyone knows the Yorubas at computer village, asides having their own shops where they trade in computer hardware, constitute the bulk of those into phones and laptop repair services, refurbishment, and software related activities. #Fact.

No indigenous ICT firm in Nigeria comes close to Glo in stature.

Our lads don't have to open 2x2 shops at Computer Village to stake their dominance of the overall ICT sector. They already constitute the bulk of computer programmers in the country, earning top money while they're at it. From the guy that founded Andela (which was acquired by Mark Zuckerberg's wife for $24million), to wave-making Lanre Oyedokun's Big Data Startup (Delivery Science), Iyinoluwa Aboyadeji's Flutterwave, Adetunji Adegbesan's Gidi Mobile, and Shola Akinlade's Paystack were all accepted into Google's LaunchPad Accelerator at the same time -- all 4 of them are the only Nigerian tech startups accepted into the program and have attracted no less than a million dollars a piece in funding. Most of the promising startups in the IT sectors of the Nigerian economy, attracting heavy funding and FDI, are Yoruba-owned. And not just that.
