They came with only 24 passengers I don't know whether it's a good start or not

OreMI22:
...... and they left with a fully loaded aircraft of 50 passengers! For an inaugural flight, it's a fantastic count!

Besides, they announced on the 17th that they would be flying on the 18th, potential passengers would have already booked their flights elsewhere.

Nollywood is fast coming into Anambra with a lot of shooting starring big names.
See what Chizzy Alichi and Chief Imo did during a movie shooting in a newly opened classic hotel 'Dabara hotel' in Nnewi

Seriously, Mega2biz don't bring that useless Nollywood nonsense here again.

This thread is for progress not dump site for Losers

We have no interest in sharing their disgrace. They lost to Yorubas and they should learn to shoulder their defeat like our old musicians that fell for the Lagos Fever.

BKayy:

See these ones. This is not worth celebrating because Nollywood lost her relevance the very day they left Igbo land, now when they are at the verge of being anhilated by Yoruba Movies in Lagos, they want to bring it home so that we will all share the disgrace together.

No, no, no, they should enjoy their defeat and disgrace in peace.

Ọ dị mma, a gbakwuru ndị iro mana ọ Diba njọ e bunata ya ụnọ. Ndị ara.

They think we all don't know about what they are facing in Lagos. Nonsense, they didn't learn from our musicians when they lost music to Lagos and fell for the same stupidity. If they can't fight Yoruba home movies in that Lagos that they ran to, they have no businesses in bringing their defeat home. No Apologies and accolades from this angle. Nollywood is dead.

[s]I need to buy you a bottle of Hero beer! One thing about the Igbo person is that he/she desperately wants to be accepted as a "Nigerian" if there is any true word as "Nigerian". However, whether they pretend or are genuinely ignorant about what Nigeria truly is about, they will all get the same treatment by Nigeria.GUARANTEED!
So it is better to understand Nigeria and act according to the realities than play ostrich all the time.

Igbos are the only ones that carry the "One-Nigeria" mantra on their head like a burden that has been killing them. Nollywood practically started in Iweka road, Onitsha and Pound Road, Aba with the early movies such as living in bondage, Nneka the pretty serpent, etc. The Yorubas quickly set up their own "Nollywood" in Lagos and the north quickly set up its own version in Kano. Shockingly, the Igbos decided that they needed to "UNITE" Nollywoods and moved theirs to Lagos and started the English movies! The Yorubas used their money and Infrastructure to set up another specific Yoruba movies version in Ibadan, while Igbos were still too ashamed to continue Igbo language movies like Living in Bondage that gave them fame in the first instance! They said that they didn't want to make "Igbotic" movies. Whatever that meant. In time, those tactless Igbos seeking a "UNITED Nigerian Nollywood" have gradually learned that there is nothing "Nigerian" that can survive or have support from other tribes.

It is the same thing that they did to some Igbo Musicians that thought that if they sang in Yoruba language or English, somehow those people will not remember that they are Igbo. Well, such idiocy! None of those musicians exist today. It is the artists that understood their audience and understood that in Nigeria, it is only your people that will promote you first before others will appreciate you. So they sang mostly in the Igbo language that are still around today and doing very well. All the "One Nigeria" artists that preferred singing in strange languages than their own have all been liquidated.

Anywhere in the world, what I have written here will be considered extreme nationalism and distasteful. But Nigeria is not a normal place. It is a place where people ask your name before they decide if your art is good or not. Those "Lagos" Igbos and others that would like to play the ostrich and pretend that what has been said here is untrue should continue to delude themselves. From knocking down their houses and markets in Lagos to other practices they have faced, I am just glad that some of them are beginning to smell the coffee and understand the true nature of the space called Nigeria. That is just the bitter truth. They can continue to ignore it at their own peril.[/s]

This thread is not where Igbos come to do their usual lamentations.

It is a realistic thread for development not masturbating and lamenting.

Stop deviating the thread both of you.

Aboki, gerra here!
I was talking to Ndigbo not umu anofia.

Besides,MelesZewani...I still haven’t forgotten the nasty reply u once gave me on this thread sometimes in d past about the useless sit at home? I will revisit that when I am in d right state of mind.

And finally,so on this thread,they say you’re me and I am you? Lmao

BKayy:

Exactly. Immediately Yorubas took it from then, they maintained their Yoruba Movie trademark and never integrated it into the main stream Nollywood thus claiming ownership and maintaining their turf.

Same with the Northerners that most people think they are senseless . They maintain theirs and trademark it as Kannywood, receiving exclusive enforcement, recognition and aid for it.

It was after our kinsmen have realised that they have lost the game that they started acting funny, most of them realised that they are third choice in endorsements and awards in the movie scheme. Instead of them to shoulder their utter defeat like men and women, they are looking for a way to smuggle themselves back home and expect us to give them heroes welcome. They think we are ignorant, that we don't know their condition.
It is now obvious to their ignorant selves that there was never a Nigerian Nollywood but Igbo Nollywood

The game became obvious to them when Africa Magic launched Yoruba Channel and still use both the and new for Yoruba films with different percentage of Yoruba language in it. They begged for Igbo channel but by then it was already too late.

I swear eh, If someone else try to package that rotten Nollywoods defeat as return for us here again I will break bottle on his/her head.

Landmack:


U be calming down

I think I get what oremii is saying. If u don’t know,oremii once said here that he used to be a strong financial contributor to the coffers of Ipob till d group started going beserk. He stopped totally. I once read that here about him. So it isn’t about the ipob nonsense.
I understand his point well.

Yes, I contributed MONTHLY to IPOB financially for so many years! In fact, many people here know me as the person that reminds them to pay their monthly dues. Infact, another member of the forum here started contributing because I persistently urged her to contribute to the safety of our region by supporting the ESN vigilante.

The only reason I stopped contributing was using ESN to stop elections in Biafraland. Which is TOTALLY against their one and only role of securing our forest from the rampaging herders killing farmers and raping our women. The politics of election or no election in Biafraland should be decided by our people and not anyone abusing the ESN mandate to scare our people from participating in elections if they choose to. That was an unpardonable redline that forced my withdrawal from IPOB. It underscored that some people could also abuse the ESN mandate and turn it into Boko Haram if they felt that is where their interest was.

As far as you have contributed to the wasting of innocent souls, posterity will judge you.

The bible made it clear that it will visit the sins of father's on their children and generation to come.

You are contributing to Terrorism and all forms of vices.

Go and collect your own share of human meat and eat.

Alu melu.

OreMI22:


[s]I can reveal to you free of charge that Igbos global financial network are still intact. All the Fulani herdsmen, army and DSS childish propaganda that ESN are cannibals and unknown gunmen is TOTALLY ineffective. You guys can continue burning people's houses in Izombe, Awo or Barr Ejiofor's home and say its ESN. Nobody in the entire world is decieved one bit that the perpetrators of these crimes are Fulanis in Nigerian security forces.

The grudge any of us have with IPOB is simply on the tactical duties of ESN. Some of us strongly believe that Biafrans MUST have the freedom to hold political opinions and religious beliefs without any fear. I don't like APC, but Biafrans that love them should not be made to live in fear. The same way Biafrans who are jews or Muslims cannot be discriminated on.

Your FG masters silly attempt to frame IPOB or ESN by killing people and forging stories or videoed "confessions" is an indication of your childish mindset. No fool in the world is deceived about the activities of Fulani militias in the south-east zone under the guise of Nigerian army and DSS. If you doubt me, ask your ambassador to sample US diplomatic intelligence on who is behind the killings in south-east Nigeria. Even North Korean government does not indulge in the type of extremely childish propaganda of Nigerian federal government.[/s]

It's the fear of domination, no one wants to be dominated, and that's how they interpret Igbo actions. Moving to Lagos to establish a movie industry, the other ethnic groups, namely Yoruba people, would see it as an attempt to dominate. That's why they quickly established their own one, likewise in the North.

That's all the "other" groups think, when they see Igbo people making moves. Domination, Domination, Domination. It's that same mindset that drives them to knock down properties belonging to Igbo people.

That's the problem you're faced with when you have forced unions, ethnic groups that are very dissimilar from one another, living together in a single entity. The reality is, all men aren't created equally, and it's that same fear that's been the bedrock of the Nigerian mindset.

The only solution is capitulation, for Yoruba people to allow Igbo people to control everything within their domain or for Northerners to allow Igbo people to run all the businesses and control all of the wealth of their land. But we know that's NEVER going to happen.

P.S. Naturally, Igbo people would be "more" Nigerian than everyone else, because we stand to benefit more from that thinking. We're overwhelmingly the entrepreneurs, the business men and women. The builders, the traders, etc... and so, other regions within Nigeria would be looked at as fertile grounds. New lands to generate wealth and profits, at the expense of its current inhabitants (at least, that's how our actions will/would be interpreted).
