Read below for the true history of Nollywood if interested:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_Nigeria

That's not the history of nollywood.

NGpatriot:
In the movie-making celluloid era, the industry names were Only films of the celluloid the highest-grossing moving in Nigeria before the Wedding party was a movie made in 1977 by Babatunde Adu/Jab Adu’s Bisi: Daughter of the River.


[/b] The leaders in the industry were Chief Hubert Ogunde like Aiye and Ayanmo, Chief Adeyemi Afolayan, Ajani Ogun, Ade Love and so on.[b]

Stop attaching these people to Nollywood we don't know them. You lots are desperately trying to reap where you never sowed.

LegendHero:


Ogbeni, Yoruba took over Nolywood a long time. The Igbos in the game are just used to count the numbers as evident in the top 90 highest most gross movie.

You spoke about other movies being produced in Nollywood. Do you know Yoruba language movies are generating more money and streaming than Igbo language movies? The Igbos themselves don't even stream their movies anymore lol and they already settled for the English language produced movies.

Now in the English language produced movies, Yoruba people are the one raking in the most money as evident in the list I shared and it will remain so as long as we are all still in Nigeria.

Your have the courage to show up after your white lie was busted. Do the maths, the high gross movie you listed are they up to 3 billion naira.

Yet Nollywood generates more than 230 billion naira every year. Have you seen that your little efforts although well appreciated is but a drop in the ocean.

As for your claims of Yoruba movie making more money than Igbo movies, I can only but laugh you to stupor. I repeat you are far behind in Nollywood.

Noneroone:
That's not the history of nollywoood.

Why don't you write your own history? Everybody knows anything that does not favour you guys is deemed fake by the Lagos - Ibadan news.

Thank God it's not a Yoruba man that wrote the history of Nollywoood. If you don't like it, kindly find the nearest power line and hug it, better still if you are in Lagos, kindly look for the Lagoon and ..................jump.

This is the list of the 50 highest grossing Nollywood movies of all time.

Can you clearly see the Yorubas still dominate?

Fame of Mr. Ibru you say? Is Ramsey Noah not famous? Is Desmond Elliot not famous? Is Olu Jacob not famous?

Fame is relative, we are talking about the entrepreneurial aspect of Nollywood and Yorubas are clearly modifying Nolywood and making it more viable. It’s about innovation and the Yorubas clearly understood the game.

most of these movies you listed are not nollywood movies. they are yorubawood at the least. If they are highest grossing (in your language), then have the money and don't "modify" a nollywood industry known worldwide.

I am in a different time zone to start with so I just woke up. Who are you and which lie did you busted?

Lol, little effort you say? Yoruba produced movies form the larger chunk of that revenue and sane minds know that. I listed the first 90 movies and Yoruba clearly dominate all the list and yet you are here telling me of an imaginary industry dominated by Igbos. The joke is on you!

Yes, going to indigenous movies, the Yoruba movies far generate revenue and streams than the Igbo indigenous movies. Are you also trying to contest this?

Living in Bondage started Nollywood so which other history of Nollywood are we talking about?

Living in Bondage started Nollywood so which other history of Nollywood are we talking about?

What is your definition of Nolywood to start with? Did it just originated out of thin air?

"In 1957, Fincho became the first Nigerian film to be shot in color. The first Nollywood movies were created by historical filmmakers such as Ola Balogun, Hubert Ogunde, Jab Adu, Moses Olayia and Eddie Ugboma.

And a bit later in 1984, Wale Adenuga’s Papa Ajasco became the first blockbuster and one of the largest cinematic events in Nigeria. The movie grossed about 61,000 nairas in three days."

Ayirada, lol. I'm sure you are one of those people who would read the headline without reading the body. How you went to school is still a mystery.
I'm sure you were placed on probation.

Kindly go back and read - make sure you also understand. Then come back and say something sensible.

LegendHero:


First of all I will fight you because of misinformation unless if you change your post to reflect true realities.

Igbos don’t own Nollywood, they are just part of the numbers and the Yorubas are the mega entrepreneurs raking in all the money from Nollywood. Yoruba own the Nolywood.

If you think I’m lying, attached is the top 50 highest Nollywood grossing movies of all time. Yoruba produced movies dominated the list conveniently and we dominate the list when you also check the top 90 grossing movies.

Yoruba own the Nollywood, Nigeriawood, Musicwood, Awardwood, entertainmentwood. Infact Yoruba rule the entertainment industry in Nigeria.

Don't mind those empty noise makers.

Ain't interested in your cock and bull stories all those so called filmmakers where only known by Yorubas not Nigerians. Living in Bondage started Nollywood.

Nna you just confirmed your level of intelligence.

Let's take your high grossing for 2019 alone, their total earning were #1,080,246,819 . I even dash you the movies owned by Igbos and others in that same year. So your high grossing movies generated #1,080,246,819 in 2019.

Now on the average Nollywood generates $3.3 billion dollars annually. Roughly #230 billion naira. If you remove #1,080,246,819 from #230 billion you have like #228 billion naira.

Do you get the maths now. Your high grossing movies are not the money spinner in Nollywood. You see those movies you look down on, they are the real deal. There are 54 countries in Africa and Nigerian movies are been exported to them in large numbers. These ones do not need cinema to sell. Nigeria has 200million population, how many of them have the money to go to the cinema and see your movies. Igbo business men are using the channel best known to them to rake in money year in year out. You guys are JJC, watch and learn.

Modified: Nollywood is a $3.3 billion industry that generate on the average $560 million annually

They are trying so hard to change the narrative, but it is dead on arrival.

Kenneth Nnebue a traderin 2by2 shop with no fancy certificate started Nollywood. His name is etched in gold and no amount of propaganda from the west will wipe that fact.

My question to you is that does living in Bondage just spring out of thin air? Who are those into movies before then? Ogunde, Papa Ajasco, and so on were already in the game several years before living in bondage.

There are several evolution of the movies industry in Nigeria. From stage dramas, shows on Tvs, Video Casette, VCDs, Cinema theaters, Online streaming, now playing on the international scene Netflix.

Nollywood is just a name, what is the definition of Nolywood and what is the scope of Nollywood? Is Nolywood only English language movies? If No, then you have no argument here.

LegendHero:


Most of the movies are English produced. so what the bleep are you talking about?

who told you every English movie is nollywood? Nollywood started as Igbo stories told in Igbo language, later changed to Igbo stories told in English language for marketing expediency. They incorporated people from other ethnic groups and built a multimillion dollar empire. some nollywood movies have French and Swahili versions outside Nigeria. The North have their own story too told through kannywood. it's kinda surprising how Yoruba's try to attach to nollywood and brand their movies a such. You should be looking at ways to tell your stories to the world by building a Yoruba industry instead of riding on the back of successful people while stabbing them in the name of "modifying". We know the history well and won't let you rewrite it.

What should I do with your mathematics? Are the movies I quoted the only movies by Yoruba people?

Do you know the amount of movies produced monthly by those Yoruba producers? Do you know how much they rake in? Do you know how much of revenue they rake in from Youtube views? So what exactly are you talking about?

If there is data to showcase 1000 top grossing Nollywood movies, the Yoruba will still dominate the list. So accept your fate in Nigeria, Yoruba rule the entertainment scene.

Yorubas were never part of people that pioneered Nollywood. Living in Bondage gave birth to Nollywood, you lots are only attaching to a successful Nollywood IGBOS started. So what the fu..uck are you saying?

So Yoruba movies that has been in existence since the days of Ogunde doesn't count? When did the Igbo started telling Igbo stories?

You guys are boring me with all these roforofo talks!

I don't have time for you Wikipedia pseudo-intellectuals. Someone went to wikipedia and wrote a junk history saying that "cinema industry is informally referred to as nollywood" . History of cinema in Nigeria is different from nollywood.You shouldn't try to dubiously mix them together. Nollywood started as home video not cinema that was why it celebrated 20th anniversary in 2012. if you want to celebrate your cinematography, do so without dubiously attaching to another industry.

We lead, others follow...

Are you asking me? You sounded so sure initially. I want you to tell me how much your Yoruba movies are generating that has made them to surpass the earning of Igbos in Nollywood.
