Ignorance

That's an epic Yoruba movie rich in history and told in Oyo dialect. It's not your everyday Nollywood movie

Complete trash 🗑️

I'll rather rewatch Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, coco, Luca and The croods than to watch this rubbish

What are you doing on this thread other than displaying hatred.
I don't know the kind of water your mama used to bath you when you were a toddler

Nice one. Yoruba has a rich cultural history that spans centuries. So we too can have interesting historical story lines like Spartacus, Vikings,Troys,and Thor. We just need to improve our cinematography, story lines,visual effects, costumes and quality directors, then we good to match Hollywood.

I heard some Yoruba movie producers are building a huge movie village in Oyo state. I saw the set in eniola Ajao's movie. It was awesome. We shall get there

Yoruba History is almost as extensive as Greek History

May God Almighty give Yorubas the humility and ability to tell their entire History

Yorubas had already built the 160 km Sungbo Eredo Wall and city in the 9th Century before Oduduwa was even Born

Your tribe was soo primitive then doesn't mean others were....yorubas have been trading with portugeese in armoury for long and are greatly influenced by their northern neighbors for sword.Old oyo town was very close to the north

Bi o laya ko seka, sugbon bi o ba ranti iku Gaa ki o so oto

I have been waiting for this.

Interesting piece. I hope we can really improve on our cinematography and plots development. We have loads of historical legends in yorubaland and even if each of their chronicles is adapted into series, provided we have intelligent plots and settings developers （writers and directors）, we will turn our film industry into global reckoning that can outshine and outperform our music industry for the growth of our economy. The audience are waiting but the quality has to improve.
I just hope the hyped LAGOS FILM CITY ongoing in EPE answers a lot of these challenges and become OUR MOVIE INDUSTRY BEDROCK TO UNQUESTIONABLE GREATNESS.

If not for Netflix, amazon prime video, and YouTube, those Alaba boys would have pirated the hell out of these new movies.

Now that piracy has been defeated, banks and financial firms are now willing to invest good money in the movie industry to help those that know how to write and direct good scripts. These new movies are cashing out big time, and they are only going to get better.

The saying is true that piracy kills creativity.

We also had blacksmiths from time immemorial. We even have Ogun - a deity and god of Iron and War.

Tribe wey dey fly space ship. Our tech pass wetin dey now self. We dey water make telephone call, ur tribe sabi do that one?

No try hard to hide wetin I know. Jokes apart, their shield were never iron and they never breast plate. Most of them depend on charm as shield.

Wallahi ignorant but loud mumu plenty for this platform. Imagine what he was yapping? Common Shield for that matter!

FashionCookie:

Not as flent as before. I was born in the West(Ibadan to be precise). And partly raised there.

what do you mean not that fluent as before .. Does it leave one's tongue??

There is an old epic movie about Ga'a. Good to see it been done with better cinematography so it appeals to younger audiences.

Our Yoruba brethren has raised the bar in African cinematic productions and has set quite a high standard for what should be Nollywood movies.
Kudos to the exceptional creatives and talents making this happen.

I hope it's not another rubbish film like the controversial one released by some idi0ts last year portraying the Eyo masquerade of Lagos as criminals.

I don't trust these nollywood folks.. the Oyo dynasty must scrutinize the movie well.

Nothing epic about 9ja films

That's why some people consider it wrong to say all Yorubas descended from Oduduwa .

Many actors without affiliate to Oduduwa also left Ife to create different cities.

Yoruba race has been existing long before Oduduwa just that we don't have written history.

Iho eleru carbon dating proves this .

I like the way you talk. I only know of guns and swords. As the time they started trading with yoruba, the era of turtle defense was gone. It was victorian age and time.

It's real. Funke Akindele smashed over 1 Billion. They are cashing out while some people are angry. Lol.

Heard alot of treachery was showcased amongst the characters, showcasing the inherent hate they habour amongst themselves.


Just as they abandoned MKO ABIOLA, to serve and love the same Military that killed him..

You are a fool. Must Igbo be there? Is Igbo the only ethnicity in Nigeria? Ibrahim Chata is Nupe. William Benson is from Delta. Toyin Abraham is from Delta. Why are you igbos so selfish and unreasonable?

Yeah, I have totally forgotten about amour like wear. I didn't think about it that much.
