As for me, I prefer Nigerian movies anytime to Ghanian movies, there's so much indecency in Ghanian movies but their quality is quite good though, nevertheless, Nigerian movies are stepping their game up. Having watched some of these Nigerian movies being sold at stores like 7-eleven, most of them are really cool and quality is good. 1 Like |

sharaaap.during our worst moments inthe 80s your contri suspended oil sales to Ghana and deported more than a million Ghanaians at the peak of our economic crisis under very humiliating circumstances, thinking that will break Ghana.infact the mass deportations happened twice-1983 n 85. we survived all of that n today we're much stronger n better. wicked people. Do you blame Ghanaians for reciprocating the gesture? You nigerians aint seen nothing yet. Csami: look ma friend, r country owes ma country a great deal of thanks.

In Ghana,phonetics is taken seriously.Thats the secret we Ghanaians hid from Nigerians when we built your educational system for you. Or you expect us to say tarteen instead of thirteen?

Ghanaian Movies Banned In Nigeria Is A False And Misleading Story – Segun Arinze Over the weekend, there was an on-line story purporting film producers and marketers in Nigerian have decided to ban Ghanaian movies in Nigeria. Considering the wild nature of the story, you’re most authoritative we decided to find out the truth and not the fact as spread by those websites. In a chit- chat with Segun Arinze live this morning on GhanaSuperStars.Com, the President of Nigeria’s Actors Guild, he repudiated the story with utmost crestfallen at such a sham publication. Segun Arinze hissed that Nigeria can never and will never have any unfriendly rivalry with Ghana. “We have created a very good relationship with Ghanaians and nothing will ever let us have a break up. The story is absolutely bunkum!” – He said. “My only advice to journalist is that they should be very careful with the way they spread false news since this statement they have released about Nigerian banning Ghanaian movies can cause state problems. I plead on behalf of Nigerians that Ghanaians shouldn’t take any statement of Ghana/ Nigeria rival serious until they hear it from some of us” – he lamented to GhanaSuperStars.Com He added that they are busy working on Nollywood at 20 and believes in enterprise so banning Ghanaian movies in Nigeria will not profit them in any sense but rather limit their market scope. Folks, your most reliable GhanaSuperStars.com have done the right journalistic ethic for your consumption but the puzzling questions that are crying for answers are; where could this story be coming from? Could be from the camp of film producers in Ghana or Nigeria and what reason (s) could that be? Share your thought. |

SamAfrik: Though I prefer yoruba movies whenever I feel like watchin anytin Nigerian. But Im not unaware of d big contribution Nigeria is giving Ghana esp in movies & music. Any strain in relations wont be good 4 d latter. We need Cooperatn & Respect in W/Africa. You made a good point. In video films, Nigeria made a huge impact on Ghana, with their video shelves completely dominated by Nigerian films. But in music, I disagree with you. The Ghanaians have been more original in music than Nigeria. Traditional Highlife music came to Nigeria from Ghana. Infact, the current fast afro rythmns currently dominating Nigerian music landscape/clubs came from Ghana, especially through Sound City's Music Africa which started airing in the early 20-00s. That was when Nigerians were exposed to the fast tempo dance-hall highlife beats which has been heavily adopted by most artistes including Flavour, Omawumi, Duncan Mighty, J-Martins,Timaya, PSquare, DBanj etc. Right now, every music you hear has that background of Highlife/Kpalongo rhythmn. But Nigerian musicians seem to have an edge over the Ghanaians musicians internationally because Nigerian musicians use in English/pidgin mostly while the Ghanaians use their indigenous languages mostly 1 Like |

Re: Ghanaian Movies Banned In Nigeria by Kazeem1987: 10:03pm On Jun 25, 2012 |
Sorry, but this is LONG overdue!!! First and foremost I want to make this very clear - Both Nollywood and Ghallywood suck. They both churn out sub standard crap at an alarming rate. Most Ghallywood films are Nollywood knockoffs. The rest are sleazy Indecency's. Nothing more, nothing less. As for Nollywood... What a big joke. It should be renamed IGBOwood. The story lines are nonsensical (Blackberry Babes), the actors are crap, and on top of all that they ruin everything by attempting to speak with an American accent. It's embarrassing and cringe worthy at best. Yoruba films blow both of them out of the water If I'm being totally honest. They are informative and helpful. If I was a foreigner wanting to know more about parts of West African culture and how things are done on a day to day basis I'd rather watch Yoruba films. What foreigner wants to listen to some Igbo person faking an American accent? What foreigner wants to watch some B-grade Ghanaian Indecency? Sorry but Ghallywood and Nollywood both need to go back to the drawing board. Now, as to why I think we did the right thing on banning Ghanaian movies in Nigeria! I don't know what it is, I don't know how it came about, but there seems to be this guilt complex that we Nigerians have towards Ghanaian people. It's almost as if because of the "Get Ghana Out" movement and things that have happened in the past, we should allow the Ghanaians to repeatedly slap, spit and piss in our faces just to make up for what happened all those years ago. It's like in America they have this thing called "White Guilt". "White Guilt" is a complex that Whites have towards African Americans for all the bad things they did to the AAs in the past. It basically means AAs can do whatever they want to Whites but if Whites should do something back they are in the wrong. An African American could racially abuse a White man and nothing will come of it. However, the moment a White man racially abuses the African American they end up in a world of shit... Does that sound fair to you? No? Me neither !!! Why did I mention all that you ask? Because this is exactly what is happening between Nigeria and Ghana right now. It's as if Ghana is looking to hold Nigeria to emotional ransom for injustices of the past. A Ghanaian will scream and cry about a Nigerian all day long. As soon as a Nigerian does the same he's in the wrong. It's a guilt complex I tell you. We're basically being told that we have to be nice to Ghanaians and accept their slights at every turn just because we kicked them out all those years ago. How is that fair? Ghana banning Nigerian movies was just another slap in the face we Nigerians were just EXPECTED to take. Never mind the fact we helped them out from the beginning. Never mind the fact we helped their "movie stars" blow up in Nigeria. Just forget all of that, because after all we had done for them in the past they still deemed it fit to ban our movies. What do these people expect from Nigeria? To then allow you to continue making money off of YOUR movies in OUR country? No chance!! You can't have your cake and eat it at the same time my Ghanaian friends. You can't say Bleep Nigeria than get upset and cry when Nigeria turns right around and says Bleep you back. It just doesn't work that way I'm afraid . It's either 50/50 or nothing. Don't just expect 70/30 because of past events . One last thing before I leave - If you hate Chinese people and and detest Chinese food, would you then go to a Chinese restaurant to eat? I ask this because It seems as if the Ghanaians that harbor the most resentment towards Nigeria and her people always seem to find themselves on Nigerian websites ! Does that make any sense? I don't hate or dislike Ghanaians but you would NEVER find me on a Ghanaian website. ESPECIALLY if I hated them. The truth is I barely think about Ghana if football isn't involved. I just wonder why the "woe is me" Ghanaian type always find their way to Nairaland. Why don't they stick to the many Ghanaian websites out there? I don't mind the good/decent Ghanaians that don't come here ranting and raving like lunatics about the past.I don't mind them at all, they are the type that make me feel proud to have Ghana as a brother country. It's just the crybaby loudmouths I cant stand. Their pettiness and insecurity becomes irritating after a while . The ban on Ghanaian movies being sold should be lifted the day Ghana lifts the ban on Naija movies being sold in their country. Don't expect Nigeria to kiss your ass!! For all the problems Nigeria is facing we wouldn't suffer if we cut ties with Ghana. Can Ghana honestly say the same thing? 1 Like |

djfiifi: Abeg sharaap there!!! To all of you saying your actors and actresses are not faking accent, keep deceiving yourself. An average Ghanaian speaking in Ghanaian accent sucks! And even upon all the fakings they do, I can't help but notice some ridiculous pronunciation like; *pronouncing HER as EH. * doctor as dokta *shut up as shat ap *sir as ser And so much more that I can't even remember. But actresses like Yvonne okoro recently tries to correct her self especially when she is in a Nollywood movie. Again maybe your government should put more into your education cos not only your pronunciation is ridiculously funny, so also is your sentence construction; A typical example is this mistake almost all Ghanaian actors/resses make (Yvonne Okoro recently stopped it again). [b]* if they want to say for example 'you haven't done anything' or another way which is 'You have done nothing', they will rather say 'you haven't done nothing'. Excuse me, what da heck does that mean? [/b]no matter how you try to twist your tongue, I will still notice those silly ERRORS! P.S: I later got to know Yvonne Okoro studied English Language, may be that's why she's corrected those errors in her speech. 1 Like |

Drock4christ: SPECULATIONS are rife that the once harmonious relationship between the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood and its counterpart, Ghana’s Ghollywood,is currently under threat as the movie marketers under the aegis of Film, Video Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (FVPMAN) has placed embargo on Ghanaian films with effect from the end of this month. Not surprised; it was bound to happen especially since ghollywood started this in my opinion |

I prefer watching yoruba films cos there are very enlightening and educating. I learn so much from it.

ismhab: As for me i prefer Ghanian films they are more organized, the nigerian film industry is just trying to kill the Ghollywood market, because a lot of Nigerians now prefer that of Ghana. Ghollywood started this, so nobody should criticize nollywood for what they are doing but majority of Nigerians prefer Nollywood, Yoruba and etc movies; the only thing ghollywood has going for them is their quality |
Re: Ghanaian Movies Banned In Nigeria by Nobody: 9:21pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
anonymous6: @the bolded, even their quality cannot stand nollywood movies except you are comparing them with roadside productions. You need to watch premiered movies such as Ije: the journey, Tango with me, kiss and tell, figurine, silent scandal, the return of Jennifer etc...... then give me feedback. |
Re: Ghanaian Movies Banned In Nigeria by Nobody: 10:08pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
anonymous6: Interesting, I am not surprised, can you send the link of this info? Yea, its true... Nollywood movies are watched at those places, infact places like UK and some other african countries he stated; I have reasons to believe the percentage is higher. There are more countries who watch nigerian movies like The Zambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Jamaica etc. at a reasonable amount. This might convince you a bit: https://www.nairaland.com/960109/tango-me-hit-cinemas-uk If nigerians like to speak down on what is theirs, don't be surprised at others Appreciating it. Btw, why are you asking for link again when he clearly wrote the source at the bottom. Ok I get it, you don't want to start searching for it; Typical naija attitude(no pun intended). |
