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.

Don't mind these Yoruba clowns trying desperately to rewrite history.

LegendHero:


[s][/s]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.[s][/s]

Enough of the back and forth already! All the names you lots keep calling were only known by the Yorubas alone. LIVING IN BONDAGE gave birth to Nollywood.

LegendHero:


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

[s][/s]"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."[s][/s]

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.

Taye4j:


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.

[/b] Thank God it's not a Yoruba man that wrote the history of Nollywoood.[b] 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.

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

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:


What do you mean never part of? Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Make sure you respond intellectually this time around, or else I will stop responding.

No time to check time my brother!

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?

LegendHero:


English movie made them famous. That is because English produced movies has more reach than indigenous language.

Are they Yorubas or Not? I don't have time for roforofo talks!

Many never knew Desmond Elliot was even Yoruba. Meanwhile Ramsey is biracial not full Yoruba, whereas It was IGBO Marketers that made Olu Jacob including Omotola famous.

LegendHero:


Ogbeni, [/b]Yoruba took over Nolywood a long time.[b] 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. [/b]Do you know Yoruba language movies are generating more money and streaming than Igbo language movies?[b] 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.

How can you take over from what you were never part of? The second bolded is a huge lie!

LegendHero:


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?[/b] Is Ramsey Noah not famous? Is Desmond Elliot not famous? Is Olu Jacob not famous? [b]

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.

Nollywood owned by IGBOS made them famous!

Ayekotoo:



[s][/s]Let assume you started it, you have been sidelined by the Yorubas. The likes of Bolanle ninilowo, Sola sobowale, Femi Jacob, Gbenro Ajibade, Seun Akindele, Toyin Abraham at all have taken over. [s][/s]

You can only sideline Igbos in your dreams. Who are all these people? We ain't talking Yorubawood here but Nollywood!

Karac:
[s][/s]

Yeah... Third tier Nollywood. The real Nollywood are the ones making strides and winning awards.[s][/s]

We have nothing like real and fake Nollywood, all those Village films are Nollywood film!

Karac:
[s][/s]

Madam go and check the names of award winners and stop crying like Ur brothers in Nollywood.

Village films weh no pass Una south east village corridor. Well they could be referred to as third tier Nollywood[s][/s]

Yorubas are not and can never be part of Nollywood, so you lots can stick to your Yorubawood like Northerners owns Kannywood. All those village film is and will remain Nollywood films.

chukwumzurum:

When we don't know what to comment, we start looking at irrelevant aspects...
Nollywood was convinced by the igbos tho little aided by the yorubas, until recently it was purely an Igbo movie industry, majority of Nollywood actors remains the Igbo....[/b]Nobody owns Nollywood,[b] it's a Nigerian movie industry and belongs to all...
So there's nothing like Yoruba own Nollywood.

IGBOS own Nollywood but they welcomed everyone into Nollywood.

Mumu... Na why ur Ibo brothers and sisters acting dey cry after the last AMVCA say dem no see award. E dey una body

Or u think it's all those stupid village films u people do go shoot in one thick forest we are talking about.[s][/s]r

Which our Igbo brothers and sisters were crying about AMVCA apart from Zubby Michael that stated that, the first Living in Bondage was not acknowledged but its sequel won many awards at the last AMVCA.

Ode! those Village films are all Nollywood films. so you can go and form your own Yorubawood Industry.

Karac:


Oh.. U meant Igbowood right?

[s][/s]
I meant NOLLYWOOD not Yorubawood.

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 10 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.

[s][/s]
IGBOS own Nollywood, Yorubas has no say in Nollywood, so quit posting trash!
