Be careful, stop getting emotional. Don't insult a whole ethnic group just because of few arrogant people.

The current Tor Tiv is an example.

i thought u would name one yoruba oba

OMANBALA1:


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

are u educated enough to win an igbo man in an intellectual argument? U are just here lying through your teeth. Repeating the lies your coward parents told u. How far about oba of ilorin your afonja descendants union threatened to install. Is it still in the pipeline?

Jaideyone:
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!!!

The culture displayed in that movie screams Igbo...from the attires.
We have to agree that the Nigerian culture people from outside know is Igbo culture due to spreads of Nollywood movies. Igbos have very strong and influential presence in that industry.

In 1851, the Dahomean army (which was made up of women), under the rule of King Gezo , marched into the heart of Abeokuta , the capital of Egba and unleashed havoc on the unsuspecting Egbas. However, the heavily armed Egba army, even though unprepared, was able to repel the attack and killed many of the Dahomean armies, while the captured ones were made slaves. Later, in about 1853, the Egbas revenged by attacking and destroying Lefulefu and Referefe, two towns at the border of Dahomey, with little resistance from their inhabitants

like I always say you can tell all the lies you want but it won't change history for those that want to known the truth

I have read of the Benin Empire, the Oyo Kingdom, Oodua, Kanem-Bornu, bia... where is Onitsha kingdom in history?

you read about oyo empire where? Oh ok. When fulani decimated yorubas in ilorin and killed afonja and installed emir of ilorin. And were on their way to finish off oyo village and then head to ogbomosho to finish them and then head to ibadan and finish them and they head to lagos. And yoruba people begged white man to intervene, which he did and saved the day. It was during othman dan fodio naa. That's not history, it's current affairs

keep telling the lies. I'll keel exposing you

At the war-front, the Ibadan could not attack the Ilorins during the day because Osogbo was practically in a plain and the Ilorin horses might have advantage of them with disastrous results. They decided to attack at dusk when the Ilorins would no longer be able to use their horses. About 2:pm, the well prepared Ibadan army left the gate of Osogbo for the battlefield. They were to keep a strict watch and arrest anyone suspected to be a spy. About a mile from the Ilorin camp, they halted and arranged the order of the attack. The Osogbo army and the earlier auxiliaries were to handle the center of the battlefield, chiefs Abitiko and Labuju were to command the right wing, Balogun Oderinlo with the rest of the Ibadan war-chiefs were to form the left wing of the army. The Ilorin camp was then attacked at midnight. The watchword was “Elo ni owo odo? ” (How much is the ferry fare?). The reason this watchword was chosen was because the river Osun had to be crossed in entering Osogbo from the south, and anyone who could not tell this was likely to be an enemy.
Stampede engulfed the Ilorin camp as the Ibadan army set it on fire. The Ilorins could not offer the slightest resistance; they were smoked with the gunpowder of the Ibadan guns. This attack was a success for the Ibadan. Some Ilorin war-chiefs were captured in the attack. Prominent ones were:
1. Jimba the head slave of the Emir;
2. One of the sons of Ali the commander in chief;
3. Chief Lateju;
4. Ajikobo the Yoruba Balogun of Ilorin.
The first two were released while the latter two, being Yoruba by birth, were regarded as traitors and were executed. This was a huge victory for the whole of Yoruba land. After the Osogbo victory, Ibokun, an Ijesa town not far from Osogbo was taken by the Ibadans for being an ally of ilorin

after fulanis captured Ilorin they couldn't advance down to ogbomoso because the terrain wasn't good for their cavalry. they face Oshogbo and this is the result up there. they lost!!!

Who still take those emotional,sentimental fella serious,anymore

Yeah, some peeps won't take even God serious if God doesn't tell them what they want to hear. Won't you say such peeps are self-seeking idiots?

And certain, those idiots will believe radio biafra since it tells them what their backward, primitive minds want to believe

Mr complete education. I just pointed out the lies in your write up over there. waiting for your reply

don't come and give me hearsays o. I want facts

hornyofife:


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

Imagine how this idiot change topic from oba to Nollywood! Each time, I find the mental deadness of this fools called igbos amazing. They don't mind making a fool of their entire generation just to feed their empty egos.

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

So all the movies made by Yorubas were not selling until Ibo came and started selling them....or what do you mean by commercialize?

We were marketing, distributing and bringing revenue from our products.

Which point of the supply chain were you involved....ohh, i forgot, the piracy!

Movie industry had existed before Ibo knew how to make movie. What we didnt have was internet.

Internet made the access and visibility very easy and at cost savings. But you didnt even create the internet. So where do you fit in when we talk history of Nollywood?

Maybe you crafted the name....which itself is a copy of brand. Hollywood is the brand!

The fact is that, paradoxically, it is the Igbonization of Nollywood that has popularized it. Nollywood had been in existence albeit in a moribund state, until the Igbos came in and popularized it via Igbonization.

you are funniest yoruba i have ever seen. I know where dahomey is. And i know their women attacked and killed your yoruba late grand parents from dahomey to abeokuta. Where they ran and hid under a rock. Olumo rock.
Those lie lie websites you visit will never help know the truth. Read books from eye witnesses and those that participated in the war. Common dahomey women beat you merciless and you are here ranting online as usual
