We have traditional rulers in Nigeria who are former vice chancellor of universities. How you guys came to the conclusion that obi of Onitsha is the most educated is baffling.

name them. Not chancellors o (which are political appointments)

nairanaira12:


Yeah it's painful. And do you know why it's painful? It's because I found it baffling that a human being who claimed he is educated could act like a dead brain idiot despite verifiable facts staring him eyeball to eyeball. It forces me to submit that some people are born idiots and their stupidity can never be cured for life.

All I know is when you talk of nollywood,you are talking of the Igbo movie industry....the known actors and actresses all over Africa and be you nd are igbos...

From Genevieve to Rita Dominic to Mr IBU to Ali na pawpaw to osuofia to Pete edochie to stephien okereke, to patience ozonkwo....name one yoruwood actors or actress in the caliber...

If at all you have , one that made it without famsing the igbos

DNA123:
Is Obi of Onitsha a professor? There are many Kings in Nigeria with PhD.

of course Obi of Onitsha is Professor

Jaideyone:
see who's calling someone else dull you just shot yourself in the leg

the most successful movies in Nigeria are wedding party, Ay's trip to jaimace and suncity then fifty.

both Ay movies were under corporate pictures. the MD is a Yoruba man!!! Ay himself is not IBO.

the wedding party is the number one and Yoruba dominated

fifty which is number four was directed and produced by Yoruba people (biyi bamidele and tope oshin!!!
how about that for control and dominance bring another lie

half of a yellow sun is the most successful IBO film after okafor's law at number 7 spot and the director is biyi bamdele a Yoruba man!!!

Most of these Nollywood directors like Chidi Chikere and co has no sound training in movie making unlike Biyi Akindele and Kunle Afolayan. You can see the difference when a real professional like Mildred Okwor, Biyi Akindele,Izu Ojukwu ,Omoni Oboli ,Kunle Afolayan and co make movies...These people belong to a different class like Amaka Igwe and Tade Ogidan.

I am not here to compare Igbo and Yoruba who is better but I hate lies. Somebody can not work all day to build something only for you to come and start claiming it.

He is not a Professor.

aribisala0:
Most educated how? We have many doctors who are monarchs .In the North and South.So what education does Nnaemeka have that no one else has?

Oil merchant?
Give me a break?

He worked as an employee of SHell and is now a Shell pensioner

he is not just a PhD holder, is there any other educational level higher than professor?

OMANBALA1:


He is not a Professor.

he is

hornyofife:


Yoruba's started thearte act, but igbos commercialised it with lead to the movie industry which is Hollywood. Hence igbos started nollywood..Yoruba's may have started acting or shooting movies but not the movie industry...that is the difference...

You guys are too dull for my liking

Let's get one thing straight...While you were in your thearters starting whatever you think Igbos were also making plays....lol. We can argue this all ffucking year. We had ancient plays before white men who taught you arrived....Nkwelita is what we call it.

Now, who is your fada!

meforyou1:
he is

I said Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe is not a Professor.

lol who exactly is claiming what? thank God oh finally admitted the Yoruba directors and producers are better and their movies are the highest grossing.

case closed.

Jaideyone:
lol both if that is what you want. do you know the number of Yoruba movies that come out daily?

You just confirmed our dullness

So to you movie industry is all about number of movies...Chai.God please forgive me if I insult this idiot...

Well I will spare you. movie industry encompasses,not just the movies produced, it includes all the stakeholder...from produces to actors, to distributors to regulators to government, to scouts, makeup artist, movie schools, engineers, cameramen....the list is endless....

Don't misyarn again , I wont spare you this time. ode

Yoruba people are just a uncultured, unmannered and utterly jealous thread.
The thread is about oba of benin visiting osibanjo. And they quickly turned it to the comparison of Prof Obi of Onitsha vs a broke fraudstar called obat oil.

OK. tell me the name of an IBO group that started before than of ogunde and stop making wild claims.

OMANBALA1:

u can say whatever u want to say. It cant change the truth that he is a professor

Diiet:
Oba of Benin is too important to leave his palace or visit anyone
only Ooni travels everywhere.
Maybe na him goast we they see there

Edo folks on this forum better open their eyes and understand that we are no longer in the stone age when kings would just sit in their palaces and expect people to be paying them homage. This is 21st century.

Its not a new thing. his fore fathers did same before him. its a visit of appreciation for honoring his invitation. Buhari and Osinbajo has also paid homage to him in his palace more than once. so its normal for him to say thanks

nairanaira12:


I don't need anyone to tell me that many of the igbos on this forum are idiots, including the innate fool I'm quoting here.

Even if CNN or Forbes magazine gives them the information, they will still say it is false and term it as afonja media. If all the info about this issue online is from afonja media, then it means their tribes are filled with backward idiots that can't achieve anything in life, even as simple as having a blog. Cursed set of idiots.

LMAO!
Who still take those emotional,sentimental fella serious,anymore

Yoruba has some very good actors,directors and producers but I am thinking their culture is not as appealing as the Igbo culture ,hence , they always use Igbo storyline, oftentimes.

hahahaha see who's talking about misyarn.

you argued about quality and I gave you an analysis of the too ten Nigerian movies. you mentioned quantity and I gave you Yoruba language movies. you are the confused fellow.

if I dominate the market in quantity and quality what else am I looking for again?

bakynes:

Who told you he commands no respect, he is just a naturally humble person and respect elders even if the stool in which he sits on is well respected.

It is a known fact Igbo had no Empire Pre-colonial rule the Obi stool is relatively younger than some of these other Kings like Ooni,Alaafin and Oba of Benin that have existed as far back as before Christ.

Stop been Jealous, these issues are known facts.

before christ? Oh. When oduduwa fell from sky and fell into lagoon. Why didnt oduduwa fall into UK or US?

Learn how to beat these guys in an argument. They are not very intelligent, but you are a little emotional and hasty.

lies!!! which movies from the top ten I analysed up there have IBO story lines? is it wedding party? or a trip to jaimaca/suncity? or is it fifty?

now that you are changing the goal post to culture. the highest grossing/most successful Nigerian movie in indigenous language is funke akindele's the return of Jenifer!!!

ogbonti:




Before 1914, there was no king in the whole of eastern Nigeria. It was a republican setting with the ofalla or ogbuefi title holders, given to men who made wealth and are respected, these men were leaders of council of elders but NOT KINGS.... NEW Igbo Kingdoms were created there to experiment indirect rule of the British colonialists using traditional rulers to collect taxes, it worked in the north and west because they had functioning kings, but it failed in the east because the new “emergency Kings” had no traditional powers or cultural backbone to effect taxation, that was one of the reasons they had the Aba women riot of 1929, go read your history... today, Igbos, are using nollywood to propagate falsehoods of an igwe and his ancestors that never existed before 1914

read history boy. Onitsha and Arochukwu had established kingdoms before the white man came

The current Tor Tiv is an example.

I am a Share holder in Shell international in the New YorK stock Exchange and the London STock Exchange. Next?

You meant those who the whites taught how to act plays, like Ogunde and co ?

OMANBALA1:

lol whites thought ogunde how to act? you are a comedian

meforyou1:

Nri was strong and influential, Onicha was just a town in a strategic area prior to the coming of the whites. The whites heard about the greatness of Eze Nri from afar. Arochukwu was a confederate not a kingdom.

hornyofife:



Empire doesn't mean civilization....

In real sense, what ever empire the yorubas had was under the Benin empire....


In the ancient map of Africa, there was karnem Bornu, Benin and Biafra, where was Oyo or Ife.

There was even Dahomey on the map....

benin empire extended from benin to the dahomey boundary. Where dahomey women warriors nearly decimated yoruba able-bodied men until the ran and hid under a rock in egba. Today called abeokuta (meaning people living literally under a rock). I visited olumo rock in abeakuta and the guide gave us the full story. I even snapped under the rock. Could barely enter me, but they say thats where families were living day and night for fear dahomey women fighters.

cry me a river. your people asked for it. when the ooni was travelling we didn't complain. you nonyorubas started telling us how your Oba has been cursed to live in the palace and never step out. now he's in abuja to pay homage. you asked for it

Jaideyone:

Well, I am too big to stay here and spread lies....I am a noble man,ONYE NZE.
Truth is before the whites arrived many Africans had different types of plays....I will not go any further, it is pointless.

I sense pride all over.

reversionist in chief. Were u in the company of the whites that heard about the greatness from far? Far as where london? That arochukwu was a conferedacy meant it didnt have king?
