FL Gators: Please hold it!!!!!!!!! are you trying to be funny or you think you're talking to blockheads This is the very first post on this thread have been going to the so called Lagos International Film Festival since Wednesday and I am disappointed by the poor organization and poor standards. Now how is it not about tribe? did you correct that lunatic that posted that if it wasn't about tribe? how irritating! |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 2:18am On Aug 16, 2009 |
WE NEED TO ALL COME TOGETHER, FOR PEACE AND HARMONY!! NIGERIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM. Arise, O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey To serve our fatherland With love and strength and faith The labor of our heroes past Shall never be in vain To serve with heart and might One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity. Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause Guide our leaders right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign. (no one believes in this anthem anyway) |

amaka go and sing that to boko haram |

$osisi:On the previous pages of the thread, others mentioned that Igbo are predominant in Nollywood. I'd assume that thats the reason why poster implied Igbos can't manage Nollywood. Majority rules, Minority rights Plays a role here. I personally don't care about which tribe made it. Yoruba ppl, edo ppl, also performs in English movies. Fact of the matter is, 95% of the movies are pure rubbish, jagbajantis, nonsense and copying of previous movies. No culture added, just the same westernzed crap. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 2:22am On Aug 16, 2009 |
$osisi:HAHAHAHA!!! if i do, they will shoot me! DIE! it would be hilarious to see yaradua sing this. he would be a hypocrite if he did, lol. this anthem goes against ALL that is going on in nigeria right now. no one believes it. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by Nobody: 2:23am On Aug 16, 2009 |
Abeg, I was also singing the One Nigeria tune. But am sick of it. I don't think there will ever be a one Nigeria. Some ppl are so stuck in the past. While others try to forget it, others will make it their goal to dig it up. Forget the tune and face reality, girl. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 2:25am On Aug 16, 2009 |
FL Gators: hmmmmm na also true talk! some people enjoy living in the 1960's. man i want nigeria to make it. i have hope and faith in nigeria. i want to see that a country can succeed and still live peacefully despite its 250 ethnic groups. man i still have hope in naija- ONE DAY! |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by sosisi(f): 2:25am On Aug 16, 2009 |
FL Gators: There were no previous pages.That is the very first post,go and check it out for yourself. The very first post had a strong tribal undertone and the poster had a particular group in mind and didn't mince words in identifying them. She made it "bad Igbo managers" vs "good Yoruba managers" from the very beginning so saying it's not tribal is being deceptive. |

$osisi:I am not talking about the initial post, am talking about the posts after. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by sosisi(f): 2:31am On Aug 16, 2009 |
Now this is the post which you quoted and agreed with on the same page. by jessie I don't think the poster is a racist, he just wrote the truth! Don't be offended if you're an Igbo person! and that same sentiment is being shared by several other Yoruba responders on this thread and several like it. One of these days some Yoruba person will start a thread on how Igbos are breathing all the air in Lagos with their large nostrils causing Yorubas to asphyxiate. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by chiogo(f): 2:31am On Aug 16, 2009 |
LOL FL Gators, you don't get it. You said it isn't about tribe. But it is starting from the first post. Anywayz, it's nothing new on nairaland. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by C2H5OH(f): 2:35am On Aug 16, 2009 |
The Oposter did more than insinuate that Igbos are bad managers of their respective film production companies. I wouldn't blame all ills and failures of nollywood on igbo managers, but I have to agree that the English films being spitted out for our viewing pleasures leave bad tastes in our mouths |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by Nobody: 2:36am On Aug 16, 2009 |
$osisi: I'm sorry, are every English movies directed by Igbos? Does Igbo own Nollywood? And here I'd have thought the opposite. I'd ask you to check my post on that thread again. I said that all English Nollywood movie sucks. And Yoruba movies rox. My opinion, my preference. If that means I'm triblist, then I really want to know what you'd call Lamidi-Obi I still stand by my post , and I'd advise you to see what I quoted and what I replied to. chiogo: From my perceptive, it's not. But come oh, when did Nigerian become the Black-White-Racism-Issue of Africa? But if you say the poster was being tribal, I cannot argue with you there |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 2:40am On Aug 16, 2009 |
the reason why most english movies are rubbish is because they do movies in 10 days or 2 weeks and get it onto the market within a 2 more weeks. its all about time and making money. they dont have time to waste because time is money. thats why most movies are rubbish now. and in kannywood are making movies taboo? or is it a sin? is it against shariah law? men and women can no longer associate. the woman must cover her head? or is it banned, because most people cant watch tv, unless its government television. its almost like a dictatorship. can someone give me a spoof on kannywood? |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by Nobody: 2:41am On Aug 16, 2009 |
Yea. . . .in simplier terms, English movies are rubbish. Period. Who ever dominates and controls that sector should be criticized. Point black. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by bluespice(f): 2:45am On Aug 16, 2009 |
i dont watch nigerian movies y? same story line i was introduced to jenifa and despite its 'ghetto- ness' or 'razz-ness' whichever floats ur boat, i enjoyed it dont mean cos im yoruba or not, it was a new story line that said, some nigerian movies do deserve compliment but all around, we need to go back to the drawing board jare irrespictive of the prefix before the -wood u adopt |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by oyinda3(f): 3:01am On Aug 16, 2009 |
THE AMAKA: lol and they're not as strict as portrayed in the media. lol there is even a very famous movie star that is very effeminate (most likely gay). his name is ibro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u59fRk8h5-U&feature=related my friend translated the hausa to me but i forgot. it's a really funny argument between the hausa guy (ibro) and the igbo man. lol one of the abuses is your mouth is as big as armpit or something like that. i forgot. lol this is a hausa movie trailer n u can see the singer isn't covering her head n she's dressed like any regular lady in some scenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMmaxvQSNrQ&feature=related u can find them on youtube but they're more conservative in general than nollywood movies though. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 3:03am On Aug 16, 2009 |
i know you can find them on youtube. but doesnt shariah law forbid this? isnt movies banned or something like that? you know to them everything that doesnt involve the quran or islam is forbidden. lol okay ill watch it. AND A GAY HAUSA? i know they probably exist, but is he OPEN ABOUT IT? OH NO! WONDERS SHALL NEVER END. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by ezeagu(m): 3:14am On Aug 16, 2009 |
THE AMAKA: It will be banned all together by the Nigerian Al Qaeda, apparently in Islam images of living people and animals cannot be reproduced! THE AMAKA: Do you see the boko haram threat, they seemed to be really into the sodomy of southern Nigerian's. . . . . . . .Plus there seems to be a pattern of intense homosexual repression in so called 'homophobic' countries, just an observation. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 3:20am On Aug 16, 2009 |
ezeagu: OH YEAH, i think i remember hearing that. please correct me if im wrong. so anyone who makes or acts in a kannywood movie will be stoned to death. lol |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by oyinda3(f): 3:34am On Aug 16, 2009 |
ezeagu is being sarcastic. lol it's not gonna be banned i think sharia law is exaggerated. and the movies usually teach islamic morals at the end. kinda like nollywood movies with morals/ a lesson at the end. how old r u sef. u sound so naive lol THE AMAKA: even if u can't understand it, look at his body language and his obvious gayness. lol he's a very popular actor among the hausas. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 4:28am On Aug 16, 2009 |
so he is gay in real life? OMG. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by sexyLeamon(f): 6:35am On Aug 16, 2009 |
This is one of the main reason why our film industry is not improving. why do you guys think? dat hollywood is a spectacular film industry? no the reason they are up is dat they put them self up, their people encourage them and put them up, and us, we will forever remain stupid and dumb we put each others down instead. what a pity |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 6:38am On Aug 16, 2009 |
sexyLeamon: TRUE TALK OO!! and we would rather divide and criticize the other side just as a way of praising our own people. we need to come united as one!! once we put this tribal shit aside, and come together and play fair, we might be able to BLOW bollywood to third place and take 2nd place in the leader bored. im still hoping for that one day. (: |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by C2H5OH(f): 6:39am On Aug 16, 2009 |
their people put them up but those same people who praise them will not hesitate to criticize them if the quality of the movies dwindle. they are up because they are that good at what they do. hiss |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 6:44am On Aug 16, 2009 |
C2H5OH: and we arent? we have failed to get better because most of the movie money is coming from the producer's pocket. and they know time is money. so the quality of these movies usually suck. they need more funding to put into their movies to make it better. nigeria has almost no action movies and the voodoo movies are the worst!! when stupid spirits appear, its so lame, give me a break. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by sexyLeamon(f): 6:47am On Aug 16, 2009 |
THE AMAKA:dat will never happend ever African will forever remain disunited. we have witchcraft to destroy each others but wouldn't developed our country. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 6:48am On Aug 16, 2009 |
THINK POSITIVE!! why are people always so negative. have hope sometimes. i STILL have hope and will always have hope. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by C2H5OH(f): 6:48am On Aug 16, 2009 |
THE AMAKA:and the money was supposed to come from whose pockets? you sound naive. you keep repeating time is money as if that's a reason to settle for trash. if we stop demanding excellence from those who manufacture the products we consume we are bound to fail as a people. imagine civil engineers, doctors, etc rushing a building to completion or treating patients without taking great care because "time is money". Besides, time is money and these people are getting paid for doing what they do, s why the big fuss? I'll give you a break if you analyze critically and wash aside the sentimental hogwash. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 7:00am On Aug 16, 2009 |
C2H5OH: OH PLEASE! if you dont want to settle for trash, then i suggest you give the producers ALL THE MONEY THEY NEED to make the best movie they can. just about 2 weeks ago a special on nollywood came on tv. mercy johnson was actually in it. they were doing a movie about the war that happend in liberia. the producers were running out of money so they were rushing!! the hotel bill was skyrocketing, the actors and extras went without breakfast and lunch. this is all because they couldnt afford to pay for all the expenses. they were rushing to complete the movie because they were running out of money. you see? thats why if they had more funding the movies could be better. most of this is coming out of the producers pockets. although they are saying that the government has started funding about 40% of certain movies now. but im not too sure about that last part. |
