Donzman:

@Orikinla

There are lots of Igbo comedians in Nollywood and Igbo comedians are the very best. I won't bother mentioning them, Zebrudaya, Clarus &Gringory, Jegede (R.I.P.) just to name a few. Those are classic characters right there and they're not Yoruba. Juluis Agwu, Basketmouth, Okey Bakassi,,

bluenubian: i saw a yoruba soap Sola sobowale was in back in the day, and she was phenomenal, but i just saw a Nollywood film she did the other day, rubbish!

goodguy:

She was probably acting according to the "rubbish" Nollywood script.

BTW, this topic seems baseless to the Igbos because it does not praise them/their talents. If it was the other way, it would probably be the most "baseful" topic on Nairaland to them.

Honey_pot:

Well Said. What a glaring revelation. No, Orikinla thinks they are all yorubas. I wonder why Orikinla, the self-acclaimed nollywood movie-master and his side-kick, ronkebaby have not responded to this. Hope they are not running out on ideas. Orikinla is a joker, i just went through his posts once again, he keeps saying the same thing except for the few uninvited insights (only God knows if they are true) into nollywood, a ploy ronkebaby is already falling for. Little wonder the suggestive praises and admiration she has been openly lavishing on him. At least his baseless topic has enriched his love arsenal with yet another admirer

Now, before we veer off this topic again.


Orikinla and ronkebaby,
Donzman has pushed u guys to the edge of kilimanjaro. Let's see how u will survive the fatal dive unscathed

goodguy:

We're all being tribalistic. End of story!

bluenubian:

Now u guys (ronke baby and goodguy) are the ones making it a tribal issues with your remarks, where in honey pots's post did he enphazise on igbo superiority than by merely putting a light on what orikinla asked for which was "the NUMBER of igbo comedians" of which he has failed to make a reply on. U wonder why we think this topic is baseless now that we started with how good our actors are and are now on how many we have.

bluenubian:

your use of that stupid smiley, goodguy is ridiculous
Jus cause u call a spade a spade doesn't me u cudnt call it something else, am not being tribal,

Yoruba actors are good actors in yoruba films - true

Igbo actors are good actors in igbo films - true

Yoruba actors are "better" in Nollywood films - utter rubbish, false and should be recanted

Eurphoria:

ronke looks like you have something more to say to blue, why not just come out with it, instead of this dance of tango you are displaying? just asking

bluenubian:

your use of that stupid smiley, goodguy is ridiculous

bluenubian:

bluenubian:

No am not mixing up the whole thing, I wa jus repeating what your collegues have said earlier,

bluenubian:

how can your leader summise that yoruba actors are better when they haven't done enough to be judged by,

bluenubian:

yes we have some crappy igbo actors but the amount of good ones makes up for it. So jus cause one yoruba actors does great in one Nollywood movie now means that yoruba actors are better.

bluenubian:

Again listen to your self before u talk

Joke Silver and Olu Jacobs are world class professionals from Nigeria to the UK.
But the highest paid actors and actresses in Nollywood cannot boast of their filmography.
