Should US Black Actors/Actresses Link Up With Nollywood?

[Arya Tsaddiq]

Nollywood is garbage b

Yall keep saying that, but why did it have to remain that way? Are they not making money? According to the article b they are the second largest employer in the country. So how could putting more money towards it hurt?

I would love to see Idris Elba do Okonkwo in a "Things Fall Apart" film.

That would be GOAT. Elba is greatly talented IMO the best Black actor in the game currently

You know there was a TV series in Nigeria for Things Fall Apart in the 80s? And Okonkwo was played by this nikka?

Check it out

I will thanks.

I hear you bro...but I think some of yall have a serious lack of perspective when it comes to hese things

Have any of yall even seen a Nigerian movie? Lol

My folks have dozens of Nigerian films

You have to pardon me, but I am African. So when i hear 'lets just go to Africa' type commentary when shit aint goin smooth in the states. ..its just funny to me.

Nigga! I watch them when i need a laugh lmfao

Lol My bro and sisters saw these shits and was DYIN at the covers and plots

Now my sisters watch em religiously.

@judah They are basically soap operas. Very addictive, but quality wise they are basically the equivalent of super low budget black films that already is a genre,

'30 and Ticking'

' How to Get a Black Man'

Shit like that, basically plays turned into the cheapest movie possible

The type movies u see on Netflix and Miguel Nunez or Eddie Winslow low key is in like 8 movies....

Thats Nollywood

Naw... it will only work if Blk American actors, go over there in small numbers.

There's too many blk Americans with mental issues, and hatred towards other niggas , let alone Africans.

Nollywood is the # 3 biggest film industry behind the U.S and India. and That says alot regarding the size of U.S n India. it says that, Nollywood don't need no blk american niggas. Niggas over here will just fuck shit up. It's just facts.

That's a divisive stance lol....

But I guess I get what your saying. Why let "outsiders" in on something that's already working? Ok cool. If that would be the response, so be it. I was talking about a collaboration between those AA involved in Hollywood and those making moves in Nollywood to benefit all black film. To counteract the racists operating in Hollywood. But maybe not.....

 

[Arya Tsaddiq]

Yall starting to sound like certain white people.....

 

[Bussy_Getta]

Nollywood movies be the most unintentionally funniest films ever.

Nah nigga, nigas eatin over there they dont want ya

i Use to be on that WE all need to go back to Africa wave. because it's home. Then i realize that, most niggas in the U.S are really blk white folks, even those hotep conscious niggas... they're just cacs, in blk skin.

i'm not saying i'm perfect, but i have the ability to understand that this is Ghana, this is Nigeria, this is their Custom this is how they get down over their , and I RESPECT IT.

so yea, now i realize it's a blessing that alot of these niggas don't want to go to Africa.

This.

Its unintentionally- --and in some cases blatantly- --disrespectful that Black Americans dismiss Africa...DISMISS Africa, then think of ways to use Africa for resources when the white man foot on your neck

Get that 100k job...thrive in your community. ..get rich, hell wealthy, THEN tell me you wanna come to Africa. Odd how the convo dont come up then, right ?

Dont brainstorm when you broke, not when you fear for cops, not when the real estate market is unfavorable

Like, im tryin to be cordial, but gtfoh. They dont want you there, in any capacity. Lmao Stay here.

Safe to say you aint for black solidarity lmao.

I don't see Nigerians thespians crying come Oscar time, that they ain't getting no awards. I don't see no Ghanians neither . they have their OWN shit.

why cant blk americans just build they're own film industry, here in the states?

we built this country right?

we can only build it for white ppl, but not our selves? we most def have the resources.

n like @S2J stated, they eating over there. they don't really need us. Especially those who ain't bringing no food, but more mouths.

and i repeat . blk actress n actors should link up with Nolloywood and Gollywood. But it should be the one's who want to go, in small numbers, becasue they'll respect the cultures over there.

if niggas in the states go over there in large numbers, they'll be a mix of niggas who do respect and don't respect the culture. They'll be alot of niggas with self hatred issues, who are soley there for money n opportunity, and think lowly of the ppl and the culture. they'll just fuck shit up FOR EVERYBODY and burn bridges.

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

when these kinda discussions come up its based in the emotional fantasy side of things vs reality

"most niggas" are irrelevant. ..its cults, not even the minority, but LITERAL CULTS, that make the real moves and real changes and holds the potential to run things...look at it like this, u directly dnt work for "most white people" when u clock in, u work for a literal handful. hapless n helpness niggas are a distraction when trying to build ...as well as who "likes " who, and who doesnt...lives and foundations n worthwhile alliances arent built on "liking" each other,. they are built on mutual comeuppance.

u got a way to make money or build brands or expand on whats already present , folks will sit down wit you...and thats how GENUINE relationship are budded and maintained, anything else is an irrelevant distraction...america world "likes" us by way of our sports n musical prowess...needless to say no fruits are being bourne from that. ..that shit has no bearing on life...

 

[Cabana_Da_Don]

I saw one on youtube on God this is true.This chubby lady hard a bar and this dusty ass nigga was hitting on her and she just gave up and went behind the counter and let that nigga hitting it from the back while people were just walking by and they aint giving no fucks about fucking in broad day light.Dude busted quick and the lady started yelling at him and people walking by...The whole thing was just so tacky.

But my answer is YES.They should deffinetly be part of it.There´s room out there to grown in the U.S there aint.

I can respect that. And I think yall misunderstood where I'm coming from. I never said go to Africa and flip script on what they already got going. Of course you come with something to offer and an idea. This wouldn't be a parasitic venture.

If these black owners of these production companies would be willing, I'm sure there could be the opportunity to expand what they are already doing within the boarders of their respective countries. And if that's not something they'd like to do, then how about just a collaboration for the sake of "black art"?

But I get where yall are coming from. This nigga @S2J ol Oscar the grouch stay tryna cut someone lol

 

[zzombie]

Yes those shits are funny as fuck but the acting in some of the movies are over dramatic,the production values are trash and the blatant religious proselytizing is a bit much.

African Americans hooking up with nollywood would really change things on both sides for the better
