Did you bother to read my post or are you going to continue screaming "Break break break". what's being broken? who's breaking what? if these touts can't afford to fund their movies why are they in the movie production business. especially when the doomed films being produced lack proper appeal ![]() |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 7:10am On Aug 16, 2009 |
ask them that, do i know? do i look like a movie producer? what im basically saying the reason why they suck as bad as you claim they do is because the lack of money. simple. so dont get all uptight about it, im just saying. |

THE AMAKA: Where?? |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by C2H5OH(f): 8:31am On Aug 16, 2009 |
the only one getting uptight here locking in caps, screaming, is you amaka. dudes and dudettes have come forward to explain/argue why they are dissatisfied with A and B, but all you keep crowing about is one mongoose's lack of money. since you are the all-giving leader of nigeria's progressive movement, why don't you donate your trust fund to them for the good of your motherland. |

See blind, shallow and stupid arguments. I personally have never liked Nigerian movies; be it nollywood, sokotowood or yorubawood. I often criticize them, but it will be a shame to me if I throw up an argument that nuzowood is better than any of these woods without backing it up with facts. Its a good thing that people are critisizing Nollywood, but its even a bigger shame that most people here are critisizing it based on their ethnic affliation. And since the poster and so many others have critisized it based on ethnicity; I challange any ethnic group to step up and produce quality english movies that can shut the garbage called Nollywood out or forever keep their bigoted dirty mouths shut. @The Amaka I doubt if you have ever been to Nigeria before, hence why most your posts are out of point. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by oge4real(f): 2:38pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
@Poster, You were making a point, then you decided to shoot yourself in the leg. In 2009, you are still brazen enough to come to the public and announce your deficiency. Is film directing same thing with festival management? How many of the so-called yoruba actors even understand English at all? Yet you want them in Nollywood. Whether you like it or not, Nollywood is the official film industry of this country, so if you know something that will help make it better and you keep it to yourself, sorry. Remember that the brethren of a mad man takes the shame more than the madman himself. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 3:50pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
C2H5OH: hey, hey, hey! im not the one talking about how crappy the english movies are. im not the one complaining saying that english movies suck. so i was telling anyone who feels they suck should DONTATE all the money they have to make the BEST english film out there. and if they dont give money then they shouldnt complain. so eff off. nuzo:wtf? stop assuming shit. how is my post out of point? im saying that people should stop complaining about why the english movies suck unless they are going to donate their life's savings. but until then, shut the hella up. you're so UGH! |

Oh my heart weeps out loud at the division in Nigeria.Igbo, yoruba,hausa, tiv,efik movie industry?Whats up with that? ![]() |

Believe it or not, the originator of this thread did not mean to sound tribalistic. Perhaps it was wrong choice of words that made him appear tribalistic. I believe what he wanted was to create an avenue where we can all proffer solutions to the present setbacks experienced by our beloved Nollyhood and how to move d industry forward. I am neither an igbo nor a yoruba but i'm amazed at the aggression of amaka and co towards this issue. Na wa o. But this is a common thing that when a particular tribe dominate at the helm of affairs people tend to generalise if things go wrong. Abi have we not heard even d igbos accusing d hausas for ruining the nation's politics. Why dont they blame Yaradua instead. So my brother is not far from the truth if he too generalises. Afterall the igbos are at the helm of affairs in nollyhood. Come to think of it, how will nollyhood grow when two brothers Esiegbu and Kanayo are busy fighting for the top job. Now are these two not igbos? Abeg lets call a spade a spade instead of causing a miniature civil war 2 here. One love. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by C2H5OH(f): 4:53pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
the amaka you are one annoying little brat telling people to eff off if they can't donate money to improve film quality in the nigerian entertainment industry. i wonder if you will consult one of your godbrothers to come and eff me off. nonsense and ingredients. one love kor two love ni. dundee |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 4:55pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
well people shouldnt complain about nollywood unless they want to donate. im not the one here complaining about movie industy, which has errupted into another tribal war affair here on nairaland. ![]() |

Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by ThiefOfHearts(f): 7:40pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
Be quiet seriously. Who are you to say people shouldnt criticise? Are you retarded? You think if people havent complained in the past, things would have gotten a little BIT better? The hell do you know about cinema anyway? You're hypocrite and Im not in the mood to deal with you. Yet. Right side of the mouth was blaming Yorubas for the division claiming "they're the ones moving from Nollywood to make their own (little does the twit know that Yoruba movies came before all others so how could they be running away) then the Left side is giving some pretentious "One Love" speech. I suggest you be quiet and ignore this thread and leave it to those who know what they are talking about. Arindin omo. |

Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by AloyEmeka6: 9:49pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
oge4real:Because they don't do movies in english doesn't mean they can't speak good english. Although there are Yoruba actors who cannot speak english, same as some igbo actors in Yorobawood who suffers the same fate(I forgot her last name, she was in Living in bondage). Its very wrong to say such and I see no difference between you and the OP. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by AloyEmeka6: 9:53pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
lawisong:May be the lady who said Yoruba actors can speak english made use of wrong choice of words. OP didn't hide his own tribalism, he/she brought it to the table. 1. What concerns Tunde Kenali with film management if the OP knows what he is saying? 2. Who told you Kanayo and Ejike Asiegbu are brothers? |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by Nobody: 9:55pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
Hmmmmm! lawisong:Are you minding Funmi and her clowns? |

Amaka i like ur sense of maturity alot. One would have expected u to give that thiefofhearts a black eye for her insolence but rather u decided to laugh it over in the true spirit of sportsmanship. Thats a nice wife quality u got there. Abeg are u still single? I think i'm interested ![]() ![]() |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by AloyEmeka6: 10:12pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
THE AMAKA:This is one of the reasons they banned some actors/actresses some years ago. I know that these Yoruba tribalists would have raised hell if majority of the banned professionals were Yoruba, happily they were igbo. These marketers make arrangements for location(majority of Nollywood movies are shot in Lagos and Enugu), they contract camera men, costume designers blah blah blha and if it they are gonna use a house, they beg the owners to let them use their property for about 8 hours. The star actor/actress will not arrive on location on time. Bimbo Akintola and Genevieve Nnaji were notorious for that. Sometimes, they arrive 4 hours later and shooting will be cancelled for that day meaning that the sponsor will pay extra to all the contractors for their accommodation, feeding and hope they don't have another thing planned for the next day. The producer will also beg the landlord and his wife for another chance just because an arrogant actor/actress refuses to act professional. When they were slammed with a ban, some started running their ukpaka mouth against the very marketers who made them stars because they felt they are indispensable. What they didn't know was that someone's star power goes down if he/she becomes absent for a long time. They had to beg for their jobs back. What most of these tribalists don't know is that actors and actresses are not the only human resource in film production. In most cases, they are not the highest paid professionals in a production. There are few Igbo or Yoruba movie that are completely produced by one tribe. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by LadyT(f): 10:14pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
Seriously all you idiots with multiple IDS need banning signing in under different names to defend yourselves. Seriously if you didnt know till today you are a loser then let me tell you YOU ARE A LOSER!!! |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by AloyEmeka6: 10:18pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
$osisi:How do you expect her to see it; Tribalists like ikeyman, seejeey8, Becomerich are seldom harmful; It's the underground ones that will slice you while laughing in your face. If i didn't discover tpiah, would you people ever suspect her?. Negronations came out of his closet the other time and i bet you more will soon rise and drop their usual endearments. Imagine how she turned a blind eye on the very first comment that attracted over 5 people who got pissed only to fight a subsequent comment. That is their usual tactics. You wonder how people hate and fight racism yet they enjoy tribalism as long as it is not against them. |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 10:32pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
lawisong: yeah im single but not available. there is a difference. lol im not looking for anyone and especially NOT over the internet. but thanks anyway. ![]() |
Re: Two Thumbs Down For Lagos International Film Festival by THEAMAKA(f): 10:34pm On Aug 16, 2009 |
Aloy~Emeka: exactly!! some people are hypocrites. they will probably say things like "All those igbos were banned because they were stupid, foolish, blah blah blah, ect" but if many yorubas were banned they would probably say "Why are all of them being banned? this is tribalism! blah blah blah ect" so i do agree that thank God most of them being banned were igbos so some people cant come and criticize and say this, that, or the other. people and their tribal war on nairaland. sigh . . . |
