Balkan:
Yet to see a yoruba man acting in another language. They don't travel out

Where do you want Yorubas to travel to North? East? Wetin them want go do there? When Yorubas travel, they do INTERNATIONAL.

i think most igbo people have yoruba as a second language than any tribe in nigeria

Yoruba movies are crap tbh.... if u want a worse version of nollywood, then thats it..
They are full of voodoo and not much substance

I agree 100% with the voodoo part. Its almost as if the writers are from a different Yoruba society from the one I come from in Nigeria, because the average Yoruba man is not as fetish as they always portray in Yoruba films (e.g, have a problem and immediately start seeking a fetish solution to it). As a matter of fact, the real life Yoruba society is no different from any other part of the country when it comes to being fetish.


I however disagree with the substance part. If you understand or speak Yoruba well, you will quite agree with me there are a lot of Yoruba movies with very good story-lines(the execution may be poor but the plots are usually deep), of course there are also a lot of trashy ones that don't just make any sense. The language barrier aside, Yoruba movies are easily the most watched indigenous language movies in Nigeria and account for a substantial part of the whole Nollywood thingy, unstructured as that is.

If you are to, however, do a research to find out the better movies between the regular Nollywood movies (the old Nollywood ones not the new ones made for the cinema) and Yoruba movies, you may be shocked to find out the Yoruba movies are actually better in terms of production and what not.

What about Omotola Jalade, Joke Silva and co Nollywood made them

You didn't include Ibrahim Chata, the man is from No Go state and non Yoruba.

My point is, igbo producers made them popular when they we're featuring them in nollywood films. These guys became popular and rich then started yorubawood championed by jide kosoko due to the tussle in leadership of actors guild.

This is known fact

mpowa:


I'm not a fan of any version of Nollywood, but when I mistakenly watch the Yoruba and the English Nolly, I always prefer the Yoruba.

If you talk of 'No substance at all' and unnecessary part 1 to part 100, turn to English Nolly. Just sprinkles of standout producers like Kunle Afolayan are helping salvage the poor industry.

Me too - I think they Yoruba actors are far more believable than their 'nolly' counterparts.

Don't mind them.

The era of Sandra Achums, Lizzy Benson, Omotola, etc

They want to twist history as usual. We will always checkmate that.

Dude we are not talking cinema here. Even Pete Edochie acted things fall apart before d advent of Nollywood but Nollywood made him more popular and richer.

Say the truth and shame d devil

Just a little clarification.

Pete Edoche acted for television (NTA) and not for the cinema. There's a huge difference. What Pete Edoche did in Things Fall Apart is akin to an actor in any of the seasonal/series movies that abound nowadays. The cinema in Nigeria truly predates home videos/Nollywood.

However, Pete Edoche's performance in Things Fall Apart is beyond extraordinary. That easily cements his place in the upper echelons of 'greats' in the acting industry as a whole. It was and is still a classic performance.

Lolz.. Ejo or.. fathia okwo Urhobo den.. Osha rey aye na okwo iyoroba ..

U are accomodating lagoon.

U lots are ungrateful bastards.

Igbos used their money to start nollywood. Living in bondage. Igbos pumped money into this sector and made it attractive. Ask Olu Jacobs, Desmond Elliot, Jide Kosoko etc who brought them into limelight.

Today u ppl want to rewrite history as usual.

you are the trying to rewrite history. The firm industry has been in existence before you born.
I finished primary school in 1980 and my brothers do take me to national theater and watch Olu Jacob and his wife acting stage film .
Also Ogunde , Baba sala and Ade love (kunle Afolayan's father) did many of their movies before nollywood came in.
our Televisions were showing movies by many yoruba film groups like Ojo Ladipo (Aluwe, ogs bello, iya awero, jide kosoko etc) baba sala (it was one of his movies that featured clara chukwura and sinna Peters when they gave birth to a son.

There so many so film groups before nollywood was cpined by your igbo brothers.

I want to believe you wrote as your age can take. Nollywood never brought any of thos actor to limelight.

Which of these theatre acting u watched in national theatre was in VHS cassette before nollywood

That's true, the movies misrepresent the yoruba people, the yoruba people are not Fetish as the films portray, unfortunately a lot of people think yorubas are as Fetish as the movies portray

There is no discussion about the originators of movies in Nigeria. History makes it LOUD and CLEAR - its the YORUBAS. Any attempt to muddle the issue is dumb and a waste of time. So please give it to the amala-eaters when they deserve it. I have no dogs in this fights. And they akpu-eaters should stop making noise here.

yaskarahyelhope:
Yorubas are terrible bleachers. Unfortunately d non Yoruba indigenes av joined d bleaching game. Some of their films are educative but Y can't they do without visiting herbalist? If its not white garment wearers and fake prophets, na Mallam wey sabi yi karatu. Kai! Their diabolism is irritating.

MAJORITY of the american firm you love are about their culture and not yours , so herbalist and white garment etc are part of yoruba culture.

Maybe your tribe has no culture to exhibit.

What you produced was soap opera and not films, Igbo were producing soap operas (new masquerade) a

jaymichael:
Before the term Nollywood, before NEK VIDEO LINKS's living in bondage, Yorubas have been producing movies though mostly for cinemas, but they were also distributed on videos also. Yorubas were the pioneers of the movie industry in Nigeria. Movie production did not start i Nigeria in 1992. Jide kosoko, Bello, Baba sala, Baba suwe, Pappy luwe, Jagua, Ajirebi (pa james) Fadeyo oloro, Ogogo Orisabunmi et al were already very popular and were household names before living in bondage came out in 1992.

DikeOha882:

Allow them to confuse themselves. One was even talking of going to national theatre to watch stage play.

We know when VHS came out, and who started mass producing films.

There were ichoku, new madquerade, things fall apart, willy willy etc shown on NTA then.

Small pikin.

Kosoko made his name with Ojo Ladipo theatre.

Olu Jacob made his name through Hollywood movie called Ashanti, while Elliot made his name via Super Story.
Ask you mother if you doubt my claims.

I see a lot of tribal bigots on this thread
