Lol. Mrs Mercy Aigbe, you are not in the class of Genevive Nnaji, Omotala, Stephanie Okereke or Nse Ekpe Etim
bleaching and too much make up does not mean that someone is well dressed.
And finally, stop throwing issues down the tribal line in a bid to attract sympathy.
Nollywood is still THE BEST in Africa.. End of story.

Money121Money121 you are ranting crap.
Actors should also engage in movies that cut across tribes for greater recognition by the wider society. English is one language that unites and reaches out to all.
When you localize yourselves you expect National accolades?. That doesn't happen often.
Besides what has magazine cover got to do with Nollywood.

Nollywood is different from Yorubawood or bleachingwood

All they do in Yorubawood is Bleaching competition

Ugly murrafuckaaaasss

Show me ONE, just ONE Yoruba actress that is on the same level with Genevieve or Rita Dominic?

Show me ONE Yoruba actor that's on the same level with Jim Iyke or Mike Ezuronye or RMD

The Yorubas have spent too much time focusing on Igbos (Oba Lagoon, EzeIgbo, IPOB, Ladipo Market etc) that they forgot to up their game and are now complaining about not being recognized in Nollywood.


Yoruba actresses need to up their game

How
By not producing yoruba movies again but English?

Oyinbo don brainwash black finish

Go check bollywood production.... 95% of their movies are in Hindi
And dey remain d second best industry to hollywood
Same thing which Chinese movies and Korean... Their production are mostly in their languages

We as Nigerians are killing our cultural background... We not showing d world wat we are ..... # too fake#

Y can't our industries focus on "igbo... Yoruba and hausa and other indigenous languages instead of promoting a foreign language

Can't dey just produce indigenous language movies and subtitles it for foreign viewers?

Why won't you be sidelined when you're busy hating on other people;you forgot that what goes around comes around. Which tribe is not discriminated upon in Nigeria? Only one! This still does not change the fact that I love yoruba films because they appear more realistic and natural to me.

It's not about the language they speak. It's about the behavior they project. Frankly speaking, they r razzzzz. I'm Yoruba and I know exactly what I'm saying.

Even most of their production isn't good enough to air on international TV channels. I'm a cinematographer so I know what I'm saying.

Hindi is a central language in India and about 90% of Indians speak and understand it. Nigeria has 3 major languages but how many persons speak and understand such languages compare to India that speak one?

Not many of them can construct a proper sentence.

They are too artificial.

Bleached skin and smelly body odour. angry

Most have one controversy trailing them or the other.

Thisday isn't sure if the clothes they have on is actually theirs or borrowed (stolen sef) undecided

In fact make she go jump inside lagoon discrimination ko incriminating ni.
