ItooWorWor:
None of your movies comes close to Anikulakpo and it a Yoruba movie.

We know
Even No Hollywood movie comes close to anikulakpo

ItooWorWor:
Which cinema

Tell me the name of the first independent movie in Ghana?


Which of the actors came to Ghana

Na lie go kill Una a swear.

They even claim they have TV set before British

Ignorance is a disease so free yourself from it
Even as your veteran said it in the video you still have mouth to ask question.

I will just leave this one here for you

ItooWorWor:
Lol this Ghanaians are so funny



They even started heaven and earth

It is good you know that too

popizaino:
Stop trying to hard to reply,you are sounding ridiculous abeg. I'm talking about quality you're talking about popularity,how does quality and popularity relate?

which quality?
You get mind to compare the quality of those ordinary yuroba movies to our mainstream movies? are you okay upstairs

This needs to be taught in Nigerian schools!

We are fed up with stories of they taught us this they taught us that eventhough we started many years before they did

vaxx:
enough of this story . The pioneer of Nigeria film and art industry is herbert ogunde. He once came to Ghana to come practice his occupation. He meet a developed one here that he almost run at lost, history is there for who care to read.


Herbert ogunde came back to Nigeria, highly influence by Ghanaian art. He introduced Ghanaian style of drums in his band .

You can be body deep in our matters but that won't change the fact that you are seeking refuge here in Ghana

popizaino:
Not to drag this further. Honestly, every country has owned up to the ills facing their country except for the Ghanaians and it's why I am deep neck in their case . To them they are just so perfect and better than every other country here in all ramifications. How deluded can be be ? They should stop painting a false rosy picture of an utopian Ghana that does not exist anywhere except in the figment of their own stupid imagination.

You are right
That's why yuroba movies and the actors are more popular in Africa and around the world than the mainstream Ghanaian actors

You surely deserve a standing ovation, your are a genius

popizaino:
Their main stream movie industry can't even beat Yoruba movie industry in terms of quality production yet one of them had the audacity to call the whole nollywood production low quality.

gallivant:
We decline your offer with extreme prejudice. They are your problem now.

IGpro1:

My people, let's sheath our swords.

The Ghanaians have learnt one or two things today.
-Don't claim other people's success or achievement
-Don't pull down others to feel good.

You have rather learnt many things from us

You now know that cinema started in Ghana many years before Nigeria started

Movies also started in Ghana many years before Nigeria started

You have also learnt that Ghanaian actors coming to act in Nigeria is just a reverse of how things were in the 70's, 80's and the early 90's where Nigerian actors were the ones coming to act here in Ghana

That guy with a Ghanaian town name POKUASE is actually a product of baby making factory. He has never set eyes on his biological parents before

Just30:
I'm sure you were born at one of the many BABY MAKING FACTORIES IN NIGERIA because it really look like you fell on your head during child birth.

Station ZOY was the first TV station in Ghana which was later incorporated by law as GBC with it GTV.

These are the facts... Read and stop making noise on the internet . It must be hard for you to swallow because it bruise your pride but a fact will remain a fact.

Just30:
Just a little education for you
This means Ghana had a tv station 10 years plus before Nigeria. Don't let it infringe on your pride, it's just the fact that at the time, to really begin something you had to be in Ghana.

I like how you Nigerians like to claim the successes of others
You've moved from Afrobeat to how Ghana taught you production of movies to now tv ?

I'm sure the first tv station in Africa will probably be in Egypt or somewhere up north.

Now stop misquoting Reg on his hip hop claim and get it in the right context. Everyone knows the Reg started the Hip hop movement in Ghana and Jay z and Beyonce credit him for that.

You don't have to be desperately ignorant all the time... But I don't expect much from children of poverty Born in Baby Making Factories..... Ain't that poetic justice

I find it difficult to understand why Nigerians "the current generation" most especially those 30years and below have so much misinformation running through their minds.
To them they are Giant so every history should be twisted in their favor forgetting that other countries also have reciept and records for everything that happens in their country

They should allow their old generation to sit them down and teach them history and they will know how Great the country Ghana is

QuietMynd:
U re funny.
Which kind of deal will he get from Nigeria by insulting Ghanaian.
I will like to know

He is getting exactly what he is getting now "Attention". Even BBC posted his insults on their social media platforms

For the past 4 years he Shatta doesn't get much attention whenever he release a music so the only option left for him is to insult Ghanaians and everything that will get him the attention

Shaytun:
I’m surprised by the Ghanaians, where are they getting all these fantasy from? Imagine believing you founded Rap music.

No Ghanaian is having a fantasy
It's rather you Nigerians that are distorting facts and we ain't taking any of that from you

History needs to be respected and protected

Na for your head cinema or movies means Television?

If you want to talk Television fine but what we are discussing here is Cinema and movies not Television

POKUASI2:
PIP: In 1959, the regional government of Western Nigeria established the 1st television station in Nigeria and in Africa. Even though it promoted the station as a means to educate the people about development and the world, it initially served as a means for an opposition leader to address the people of Western Nigeria. The regional governments of Eastern and Northern Nigeria and the federal government in Lagos followed and started their own TV stations in the early 1960s. All 4 of these stations basically existed to serve partisan political objectives for the various governments. Any stations established after these 4 continued this same political and regionalistic heritage.

These are history that predates some of these dense children of the IMF born in witch camps..
How do you teach a people who have been doing original theater production showcasing their culture how to make films for crying loud.
A country that had a terrestrial TV station 6years before you know what TV is..

Show evidence
We all know Ghana started cinema and movies long before Nigeria and that's fact

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgkPVXvgkQ0

Obaaderemi2:
The Nigerian guys are actually telling you the truth. Cinema and filmmaking are older in Nigeria than in Ghana. If you are talking about the colonial Cinema, it started here in 1903 at Glover Hall and it was even a Nigerian, Herbert Macaulay who started it when he invited a Spanish film group to show their work here in Lagos for the colonial masters and a few elite Nigerians. Films were made in Nigeria as far back as 1926 featuring Nigerian actors with Nigerian storylines.

Don't even talk about independent filmmaking. Ola Balogun and Ogunde were doing that long before Ghanaians. Ghanas first independent film was in 1981 or something.

Those ones you call veteran Nigerian actors are actually baby actors. The veterans were Ogunde, Afolayan and Baba Sala. They're dead and long buried. Not the ones that started acting in the 80s and 90s.

I'm not saying Ghanaians learnt anything from Nigerians in terms of entertainment but this idea of trying to equate Ghana's history of entertainment with Nigeria's is not going to ever fly. Good morning.

To cut long story short this is when Ghana started cinemas, when did Nigeria also start?

IGpro1:
Bro, you can't imagine, they go as far as showing them on air, some will cover a box do some juju, open it and begin to pour out money.
All they advertise is herbal mixtures and horrible tumours,sickness
Their Adverts are very primitive, you'd just see illitracy written all over.

When I visit my mum and see her watching a Ghanian TV channel It irritates me,
Everything is either
blood money
Herbal mixtures
Shrine
Or poor visual Ghanian movies.
And some very few decent ones

Anything good you get to watch, is a Nigerian content.

Ofcos your mum will watch, is she not into juju and evil stuffs. Why is it that only Nigerians watch those channels when in Ghana? Even me a Ghanaian I can't watch those channels for 5 minutes let alone watch their programmes.

In Ghana we have over 150 Tv channels
We have the Top Tv channels
We have faith based channels thus those operated by Christians, Muslims and other beliefs so if out of over 150 channels your mum decides to watch mallams/fetish channels who's fault is it? is she herself not a lover of fetish activities?

And let me correct you on this one also,
Ghana practices an Integrated healthcare system so the Herbal medicines you see on Tv have gone through all necessary processes and have been certified and approved. Maybe in your country herbal medicines are seen as some substandard medicines but here in Ghana they are certified

Even if all your veteran actors gather to tell you that Ghana started movies before Nigeria you will still deny so you don't surprise me one bit

From your own words Nigeria cinema started in 1926 yet you still believe that you started before Ghana that started cinema in 1900

Shaytun:
There has never been a time in history where Nigerian filmmaker went to Ghana to learn filmmaking, it never happened.

Nigeria has the earliest cinema in Africa, earlier than even South Africa!!

That version of history where Ghana help Nigeria develop the entertainment industry only exist in the mind of deluded Ghana, stop trying to attach yourselves to every success story, it makes you look bizarre and greedy.

Create and develop your own industry, others people success is not a result of your own hard work.

No Nigerian will claim that the success of the year of return has anything to do with Nigeria, stand on your own two feet, stop attaching yourself to others, and stop listening to all those failed star in your country who thinks Nigeria is responsible for their failure.

I don't even know how that one take concern music and movies arguement
Very soon he will add football,jollof then what they have vrs what we don't have

Just30:
wow sometimes you Nigerians can be infantile and self absorbed.

So a country cannot issue a travel notice to it citizens? Kid it had nothing to do with you and Ghana does not have control on where Americans spend their holidays.


It will blow your mind when you learn that it was fake.... Next time don't believe everything you see in circulation on the internet

Did you listen to what the man said in the video? The man was categorical in his statement so listen to what he said again

It's obvious you are not ready to know the truth and that's very typical of a Nigerian

Growing up I thought this man was a Ghanaian because he was always playing the fetiest priest roles in our movies.

If Nigerians want to know the truth you should gather all your veteran artists and actors and asked them about Who taught who in music and movies
Even that I know some of you will still not accept the truth because I have watched a video where one of your old music promoters said Nigeria learnt music from Ghana
Guess what? the comment section is now an insult battlefield

IGpro1:
That was when they had issues with Nollywood and how much they were being paid. They requested a salary increase and the producers said No.. so their own way of protesting was tell top actors to stop accepting roles, and that actually made the producers to hunt for more local talents and Today the rest is history,

I'm sure if I bring in Literature you'd still find a away round it.

Abeg I don tire to dey talk.

Take the year of return as an example,
Within the period your country started it, you needed to see how much bad stuff concerning
Nigeria your media houses kept churning out.

Or you think it was a mere coincidence that your ministry of foreign affairs, just few weeks to your 2022 year of return issued a travel warning to Ghanians living in Nigeria and of all places to mention it was Abuja it went all over the net.
Why would they do that if it wasn't to make Nigeria look bad, so the black Americans would be afraid to come here.
The Minister should have been sent back to Ghana, but for our weak Govt.

From music to movies you now carry Year of return and our mInisters issue enter this matter. Very typical of you

Why not improve on your reading skills

I'm naturally a soft spoken person so I write the way I speak

popizaino:
This one go dey talk as if him dey cry.
Accord ko, Apc ni.

Respect is earn not demanded bozo.

IGpro1:
when was your first movie produced by a Ghanian?

Both in production and shooting, Nigeria had it before Ghana,
Before Independence, immediately after Independence, we started producing on a more regular bases and in the 90s we began producing even more until we surpassed Hollywood in number of movies produced annually just behind Bollywood.
Today it's a different story with Netflix recognizing Nollywood as a dominant force in African movie industry.
Kenya started early too.

Trying to lay claim to every successful venture is a terrible trait built in every Ghanian.

I got to know many Nigerian actors through Ghanaian movies. Your veteran movie actors were coming here in their numbers. It's only this few years (in 2000's) where Ghanaians started shooting movies in Nigeria

Listen to one of your veteran actors in this video below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgkPVXvgkQ0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgkPVXvgkQ0

It's never true that Nigerias started or taught Ghanaiàns how to shoot movies.
Let your old actors tell you history about Ghana movie industry and you will know how we once dominated that industry

IGpro1:
No we have never talked down on any Thing related to Ghana, for me it's a feminine character,
But the music thing was nauseating, and the lies are trending in Ghana. More like after trying for years to compete, instead of accepteing Nigerian music is ahead of GH you found another way round it which is to play down the talent.

My problem with some of you is you dont want to know anything apart from what you already know and that's wrong

Just find out from your old artists, they know the truth and they can tell you the truth. Ghana has had it's reign in music and movies before, Nigeria is enjoying it's reign now so learn to accord us our respect and we will also accord you your respect.

We Ghanaiàns don't like it when you Nigerians twist facts.

Shaytun:
It’s sickening. There’s no need to talk down on your neighbor success.

Pushing others down will not Automatically lift you up.

Spewing so much ignorance with arrogance.

I beg your pardon
No country talks down on others success more than Nigerians. Critical example is what you are doing now

Shaytun:
The first Nigerian cinema movie “palaver” was in 1926.

Ghana had it's cinema wey before that time but it was for the colonial masters and few other people . I want to know when black nigerians started shooting movies

IGpro1:
thats an average Ghanians mentality for you.

They hope to shine by demarketing Nigeria, they want to heard at all cost, they refuse to accept they are a small nation, well I don't blame them...

Everything originated from Ghana including Nollywood, Afro pop, Rap..
#Ghana must go

Let your old citizens tell you your history

Some Nigerian out of ignorance think entertainment started in 2000's so you base all your arguements on what you've seen in recent past. Ask your old musicians and Actors how Ghana entertainment industry was like in the 70's, 80's and even the 90's. We've had our reign before so put some respect on our name

theenchanter:
Nigeria was once the Mecca of Ghanaian artistes.... We talking about 2 decades or 15years ago.

You are right but before that Ghana was also the Hollywood for Nigerian actors in the 80's and 90's.

There are so many Ghanaian movies that featured Nigerian actors. The likes of Patience Ozorkor, Peter Edochie et al were coming to act in Ghana just as it's happening for Ghanaian actors in nollywood

Shaytun:
Jealousy and Envy will get you nowhere.

Jealousy is when you lie and still believe in your lies

Jamestown123:
It's true and you know it

When did Nigeria start shooting movies?
Your early actors won't even say what you are saying

Shaytun:
Lol, Nigeria has had a robust movie industry since independence.

Nigeria entertainment reign is not going anywhere, we have the market at home, we have the largest diaspora market to spread our voice abroad.

Tell that to the Marines

Shma2023:
You don't have to bring South Africa into your mess. SA are not loud-mouthed in this matter, yet they also dominate the music industry.

Ghana is way below Nigeria's music industry. Ghana comes way below Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa in entertainment sector.

You are tripping bruh

I have to mention SA because their reign ended not too long ago. Just some few years back they were the head quarters of entertainment. Musicians and movie producers from West Africa had to travel to SA just to promote their works

Shma2023:
Capacity matters. 60k is massive. If we fix the seats to the brim, it will triple Tamale capacity. But even at its 3/4 filled, it means it has doubled the capacity of Ghana's biggest.

sure 60k is massive but not kasarani seatless stadium.
Fix that stadium first before you compare to any stadium below 60K.

I will choose Nyayo Stadium over Kasarani anyday anytime
