True we are all humans.....but we all crawled out of different angles.....it's why the world is not one nation....true we are the same....but we are different.....hope you understand....p.s I'm not supporting been abusive but it happens...

. I get your point, I have been monitoring this forum for a while, it reeks of serious tribalism, these hatred has been breed mostly by parents and leaders while some stark illiterate accept the hatred. Any where i am, I'm always looking for opportunities that comes towards me irrespective of whether you are nupe, Tiv, Hausa or whatever, that how we can make it in life, the rich looks beyond tribalism.... ... What if it's a Yoruba that will transform your life for good or an igbo woman whom God has destined you will marry will change your life but one yeye man or brother is saying you can't marry him or do business with her simply because you hate is tribe... We are still primitive in this part of the world I swear...

Davash222:
I think Zubby is right in a way. 85% of the Award nominees and the winners are unknown. The actors and actresses Zuby mentioned deserves recognition.

Yeah

trutht828:


Do you know how many Igbos are acting full time in Nollywood Yoruba movies?

Can you kindly mention how many Yorubas are acting in Nollywood Igbo movies?

let me add to the questions.
Do you know how many Igbo actors Funke Akindele is using in her TV series?
Talk about: Jenifa diary,industreet,my siblings and I.
And do you know which tribe talk trash about funke the most?
Igbos
This is not heresay, everything is online
On her Instagram page,Facebook,even here on Nairaland.
In fact,its worse here.What derogatory name have they not called her here?
Yet,she is the one putting food on the tables of their tribesmen.
Something they can never do for us.NEVER
I don't get why these people are like this.

I know that for sure cuz am connected to the industries.....

Okay.

UnknownT:
Goan sit down. You think say na all those movies you dey feature wey Dem dey use 1 week act parts 1-4? Eze ndi ala, Nwa Eze ndi ala, Mpa onye eze ndi ala etc

You think it is those youruba drama on orisun that deserves award abi?

missimelda01:

How's king of the boys better?
Cool soundtrack and acting but the storyline is wack and confusing. If they try to do part 2, it won't sell.

King of the boys is an interesting movie

Malawian:

You think it is those youruba drama on orisun that deserves award abi?

So yourself like Orisun.

bigpicture001:


But those movies sell most and are more popular...

The categories is for " viewers choice award" not cinema movie award

Viewers choice with standards not quacks

bigpicture001:


Sit down there, Igbo made movies are the main nollywood movies....

Yourbas use of language makes it a tribal movies ppl in Kaduna won't watch

So Kaduna people watch English movies more than Yoruba?

Taye4j:


So yourself like Orisun.

I get to see Yoruba big yansh.

edoairways:

Viewers choice with standards not quacks

Even many of the so called asaba films can mm it to d cinemas, the p is the rates are too high...

Silver bird gets 60% of revenue from cinema nd gives director 40% after much investment?

Even u wouldn't go to the cinema.

Again, u must premier the movies with them nd pay separately for halls to host ur visitors, ur movie will b off air after 3months...

U see the tight condition..? Thats y kunle afolayinyan is the most indebted in the movies industry among directors...

Awolowo was imprisoned by Nigerian criminal political party led by joint alliance of Hausa and Azikiwe but few months later, as Awo predicted in his judgement speech darkness descended and, Nigeria erupted in bloody civil war. He was released and made the head of Nigerian government to fight for it's unity. Get some sence

Just save this in the innermost part of your brain, Awolowo can never ever be in thesame shoe with Zik of Africa. When I went to Ghana 2010, those guys knows Zik of Africa very well and that's how they refer him as 'Zik of Africa'. I doubt if they know Awolowo. Cos I ask them which Nigerian did they know they mention Zik of Africa, Chinwe Achebe, funny enough they mention Obasanjo and Babangida. None of them, I repeat none of them mention Awolowo. Zik of Africa is a popular name in the continent.

SaintLucia:
IPOB and hatred for other tribes na 5&6. Why not create your award and give it to your tribe alone? Nairaland was created by a Yoruba person but na dem dominate here with different profile just to insult others. How many awards was given to the late Ogunde, Baba Sala, Duro Ladipo? These were the pioneers of stage movies in Nigeria even before Pete Edochie and Sam Loco who got recognition through Things Fall Apart started acting. How many awards was given to Oga Bello, Papi Luwe, Jide Kosoko, Iya Awero who started acting before Kanayo O Kanayo and your Aki and Pawpaw? Just organize your own IPOB award and give it to your people. The likes of Kelvin Ikeduba Regina Chukwu, Rose Odiga and Nkechi Blessing were nobody until they join the Yoruba movies which made them. Appreciate others so that you can be appreciate.

Kelvin Ikeduba was well known before he joined Yoruba movies.

PapaAdanna:
95% of the awards in Nigeria are not merit


So I can't take them serious



You can never compare the original version of LIVING IN BONDAGE to this new version

If you talk say na lie... Just do publicity now that there would be cinema show for LIVING IN BONDAGE (old version) and see if the whole naija no go flood all cinemas



Ndi ara!

The whole Nigeria will not flood the cinema as things have changed.

Please and please is amvca an African or a Nigeria award what does tribalism have to do here. If we are to judge amvca Is a pan Africa award but I am sorry to say other africa countries are not duely represented in the award category. They should scrap the Africa and call it nollywood magic viewer choice awards.
Secondly a fan voted award is useless most of us don't know how to judge quality of acting we just go by sentiments of whom we love thereby not giving the chance to a better actor but lesser known actor who actually acted better a chance at winning.

Thirdly who is timini to win over Ramsey and Gabriel afolayan can't you see the award is rigged to favour the hottest act at the moment.

Amvca is a wash
To me is not a movie aware but a fashion display show full stop

You hit the nail on the coffin

Romanoff:
But Living in Bondage carted with most of the awards this year even though King of Boys was better.

King of Boys was a really good film.

Crayonforest:
My dear Igbo brothers let us kiss the truth for once, Yorubas are ahead of us in the movies industry. Their story lines are pwerful and their cast knows how to interprete their role. Even though I don't understand nor speak Yoruba but through subtitle I love watching their films. Please my fellow Igbo Brothers, it is no doubt that we are the founding fathers of Nollywood but let us go back to the drawing board and up our game.

Hope you are not referring to those movies shown on Africa magic Yoruba because there is no difference between theirs and Africa magic Igbo or epic

But make we no lie ehn... Na yorubas Dey handle entertainment industry, Hausas Dey handle politics, but we Igbos no get wetin we Dey handle apart from business. If Naira Marley fit blow, then it shows you how tribalistic the yorubas are, they’ll support their own and even make the Igbos try to love them.
It’s not simple;
One Nigeria won’t come easy, in fact it will get worse if there’s no Igbo president in the next 12-16 years.

Uno like naira marley??

iyapont:
abi gone r thoes days when yoruba actors focused on yoruba movies alone..they r now dominating English speaking Nollywood,

Yeah they had to shift because the English movies is viewed more globally. However Zubby Michael shouldn't have post that. A movie may get award but it doesn't necessary mean it is the best.

alfredilly:


Bro, I commend your use of reasoning over sentiment. But let me correct an impression, Igbo did not make Nollywood. The Nollywood English that became popular in the late 90s was meant to have national outlook because it's produced with the general language. But the preponderance of Igbo business men and producer made then have an Igbo outlook with the way they prioritize Igbo representation. That is what I called domineering tendency. Even the tradition showcased in the cultural role were Igbo tradition. No attempt to display the culture of other tribes. But when Tade Ogidan, another veterans Nollywood producer of those days, you see many brilliant Yoruba actors and actresses. Tade Ogidan doesn't exclude Igbo characters too.

You are right to a large extent. The old Nollywood movies which where dominated by igbos back then promoted Igbo culture more than any other tribes. This fact can be seen when other African nationals always use words like Igwe, Chi etc to mimic Nigerians. As a result of this, many Yoruba producers came together to produce Yoruba movies. One thing I want Nollywood to do, they should showcase other culture aside Igbo and Yoruba. They should improve their storylines with great content. No need to copy the whites or think of OSCAR award because there is no need for it. AMCA should improve their standard to be at par with OSCAR.

But make we no lie ehn... Na yorubas Dey handle entertainment industry, Hausas Dey handle politics, but we Igbos no get wetin we Dey handle apart from business. If Naira Marley fit blow, then it shows you how tribalistic the yorubas are, they’ll support their own and even make the Igbos try to love them.

WILLuKPquiet:



As much as I hate meddling in Tribal and Religious beefs guys like you are the ones who drag one into it.

I wonder if you guys think before uttering words. I have been reading comments like yours and I've been passing them with pity for your tribe.

You people are too full of hatred for the rest of the nation for no just reason. In this unreasonable comment you dropped you said Yorubas are too tribalistic because they support their own. Is there any sense in that your statement.

Because they support their own they are tribalistic?
Are you guys living in bondage that you are not able to support your own? Why don't you support your own.


If there is any tribe that is tribal conscious in Naija, it is the IBOs . You guys are so unreasonably tribal conscious that is so disgusting. It shows in your talk and, your actions.

The issue of Davido and Psquare are good examples.

He married your daughter Chioma and you are all dancing Skelewu. Praising him and calling him Baba Iffiayin proudly.

Did you see any Yoruba complain?

Never!

we are not like that.
It is his choice.
The family as rich as they are no one complained. They took Chioma as one of their own.

But Peter P Square married Yoruba girl. The whole of your disgusting Tribe started wailing.
Calling both the husband and the wife names.

The family of the guy turned their back on him.

And all Igbos online abuse him till date. "He has no talent, he is this or that.

He released nice songs but you called his songs trash all because he married a Yoruba girl.

You people are so Local and uncultured.
You are lousy, greedy and hateful.

Always unhappy for the happiness of others.

I wonder if you are given your country, if it would last a year before you start civil war. Hatred runs in your blood like tap water.


You talk of Naira Mali as if it is every Yoruba that listen to the rogue.

I am Yoruba and I don't listen to such songs. So what is the fuss about him being popular.

It is People like you that are without Class that made him popular.

One of you was even saying that Yorubas are sidelining IBO in everything. In Music and in Politics. But what about Football?

Which tribe has the 60% of our Football?

In facts when Stephen Keshi was the Coach it was as if Yorubas and Hausas don't play football at all.

90% of our players were Igbo. In fact you people were so proud that you started calling Super Eagles Biafra Football Team.

Did we complain?

Until a foreigner came, who made us realise that Yorubas and Hausas too play good football world over.


All I am saying in essence is You guys should learn to respect other tribes and stop all your Lousy Claims.

Hatred kills and it is the reason you have no tangible place in Nigeria.

And lastly,
you need to know that Nigeria is One until your Biafla falls from the Sky.

Before you started writing this long thing up here you should have read my comment thoroughly first. In case Comprehension Dey hard u, try use bullet points:
1. Entertainment industry is managed by Yorubas
2. Politics is managed by the Hausas/ Northerners
3. Igbos lead in the business sector
3. Naira Marley is only where he is because of tribalism of the Yorubas. In case you don’t know what tribalism means, the meaning is attached to this quote.
Boy listen and let me explain that tribalism part to you:
The Yorubas know that taking Tramadol (Olamide’s Science student) and Soapy(Naira Marley’s soapy) is bad, I mean they’re the ones who can interpret what those artists are singing, but what they did was to declare their loyalty to their Yoruba culture and promote the songs. How isn’t that tribalism bro?
Now when you talked about Biafra
The thought of Biafra re-emerged when the affairs of the country was not working well again. Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen killings forced Igbos to think of bringing back Biafra. Why didn’t the thought come during the time of Obasanjo or Yaradua when the country was still working well? Reason am na... If you go through threads on this forum you’ll see people, even Yorubas and Hausas making comments about how bad this country is and the impossibility of it going back to how it used to be... So how is it tribalism that Igbos want what’s best for their people?

technicallyrich:

Abeg which Yoruba that are in Delta State,abeg face your brOm roof and leave ss and se alone.
Mind you cowardd,I am an ijaw man.

Yoruba are in Delta and for your information Itsekiri tribes are Yoruba. Their language is almost the same as the Ilaje dialect in Ondo state. You here names like Omatshola (Omoshola), Omatseye( Omoseye), Omawunmi( Omawunmi). All this attest to their Yoruba ancentry

I don't support Zubby Michael's rant as it was made in bad taste and sheer ignorance (yorubas didn't even dominate the AMVCA list for starters), but we also can't dispute the fact that he didn't make some validly subtle points... however badly presented.

Nollywood movies are generally thrash, even the yoruubas here claiming they have produced and directed better movies than the Igbos should know lots of the plots in the movies they make, are obviously stolen from Western movies and patented to the Nigerian audience with rather forced and fake attempts to come off as "different", "international standard" or "classy"... they end up doing too much with mostly outlandish and empty storylines, and generally just become very forgettable movies, as much as too cliche to be accepted by a wider audience who see through the "wanna be foreign so bad" facade. Igbo movies even the substandard ones tend to have more viewership from across Africa, at least those ones keep is natural and organic in the context of things we can actually relate to as Africans... reason why if you visit any African and even Caribbean countries today and ask them to mention famous Nigerian actors/actresses and commonly used words in our movies.... Mostly the funny lines now popular in pop culture like "Igwe must hear this" etc and several top brand Igbo actors like Kanayo O Kanayo, Osuofia, Clem Ohameze, Genevieve, Pete, Aki & Pawpaw, Jim Iyke etc can be easily mentioned and recognized by other Africans, than the Yoruba ones. Apart from maybe Omotola, Olu Jacob's, and Ramsey Nouah (not sure if he's Yoruba), how many Yoruba actors/actresses are known outside of Nigeria?

Regarding entertainment in general, when it comes to music- Yorubas and Igbos evenly dominate that sector with the Yorubas having the upper hand at least for now in mostly afrobeats thanks to Davido and Wizkid... Igbos aren't too far off with the likes of Patoranking, Tekno, Runtown, Phyno, Flavor, Pereuzzi etc... in the gospel genre the Igbos seem to dominate with the likes of Sinachi holding it down big time.

in other areas of entertainment like sports, football is clearly the exclusive preserve of the Igbos (seems Yorubas forgot how about play football all of a sudden), boxing and other combat sports for now is for Yorubas and South South (Kamoru Usman is Edo not Yoruba, point of correction), and also Efe Ajagba. Other areas like basketball is clearly Igbos dominating... even in the diaspora especially in the core American pro league sports like the NFL, NBA, track & field events there seem to be more Igbos representing Nigeria, with yorubas in a close second.

Hausa no even dey for the conversation but we dey come up small small sha.

FuckThaMod:

I'm talking about miss osun ogun and co.. Check the names of their representatives. All igbos.
The miss Nigeria we have always known is mbgn

That ur sister u need to cage her well oh not by beating sha, there are better ways to do that.. Seriously yorubas are bad they have no love for IGBOS though they pretend..u need to lecture her on that That's how i did my sisters they now see reasons with me.

it's very important.

Most of you Igbo folks are not that wise. You are living in the SW and you think your sisters will not be attracted to Yoruba boys with all our swags?

I can bet my left blokos that both your sister and the guy you quoted sister will have been touched by Yoruba guys multiple times.

When you know Yorubas don’t love you, why do all of you want to die in the SW? You are starting to have generations bred in the ways of the Yorubas while some of your kinsmen can’t even speak Igbo language anymore coz they lived most of their life in the SW.

Your sisters are already gone to the swaggerlicious Yoruba guys and you should both take heart!

dignity33:
The only thing I will said that igbo fail to know in Nigeria is tribalism, put Hausa or Yoruba in charge of anything only what you will see is there brothers but igbos failed to know this . Since Nigeria existence igbo has being fighting for one Nigeria but Yoruba and Hausa are fighting for there tribe that is why they see igbos as not being political sophisticated because they only vote for there tribe, it started back from Awolowo time.

tribalism kee u dere una no dey tire kwa! Anufia
