Should US Black Actors/Actresses Link Up With Nollywood?

[zzombie]

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.

Fuck all that when it comes to money trust me African will get with the program if the connection will be mutually beneficial

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

Why do you think it really hasn't happened yet?

@S2J I know you in the states, but how much do you know about the film industry in different African nations? Or @"rip.dilla"

 

[zzombie]

There are thousands of African Americans in africa and most are doing pretty well there's a lot of ignorance in this thread.

THEY are doing well. Those people. You see,) what im sayin?

Its gentrification, no?

Would niggas want to inva---sorry, MOVE to Africa if it was MORE expensive?

White folk dont move to the hood to help out the impoverished. Tjey do so for investment purposes .

But hey, what do i know im just a grouchy nigga yall continue bein positive lol

 

[zzombie]

the English speaking African market is large enough to accommodate both African American and native actors. A lot goes into making a movie and the growth and acclaim that would come with African American and African collaboration would be worth it because it spur the economy of those African nations.

Nigga s talking about small numbers nigga how many black actors do you realistically think they are??? And acting should not be of primary importance the other areas of movies production is where African American should target

see what i mean... Better for who?

may be... JUST MAYBE, that's how they like they're movies???

i look at at movies from India, U.K, China, France, even the Islands like Trinni, Haiti, N Jamaica. and they all have their own styles...

because ppl from that culture, have their own way of being entertained.

Like i said man, u blk adolf hitlers need to stay over here.

americans dnt have an idea of the cost of living overseas....when these discussions do come up, the cost of living is NOT a selling/talking point of any magnitude. ..generally speaking of course

Better for everybody because it would be a collaboration. And would give Access to bigger markets for African actors

Man....that ain't what I'm saying at all. Lol. But let me ask you a question. How long has your family been in America? And when they did leave Africa to come to America, what made them do so?

I'm starting to see where they are coming from. They aren't looking at us as one. Which is fair. But because of that that look at it as "outsiders" coming in to reap the benefits of hard work these "true Africans" already put in....

Am I right?

Smh some of yall as bad as these racist "patriots".

The difference between immigration and gentrification is that one gives no Long-term benefits to the original population. Almost every African American I know in Ghana is giving something back to the country in some way And their children are for the most part fully assimilated

But, how about this...What exactly are they giving. Lets start there

Spoiler

Btw, these are the same things well- to-do white people say. That savior mentality. That 'lemme adopt a black baby' mentality. THat American 'we're gonna bring you Iraqis some good ol Democracy, you're welcome' mentality

Who hurt you bruh?

Lets get that out that way so we can move past whatever it is preventing you from seeing where im coming.

I read the article. Nollywood is straight. But you've shown your hand for real already so regardless of what I say, I'm proposing we get over on people I think lowly of....smh

why you jump over the "fully assimilated " , part of his statement

reconfiguring what someone said so it can fit a pre conjured talking point.....i aint gotta tell u what kinda trait that is ...get it together girlfriend

 

[Ajackson17]

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.

I watch the Orisha type of movies.

I'll say the Angolan movie industry is better with better production. Nzinga was quite good.

"Their children " are fully assimilated

How does that benefit Ghana?

They have built schools STARTED started businesses thus giving native ghanainan jobs plus when they came to ghana they were already successful in america so their was a natural transfer of wealth because they put a significant amount on money in african banks.

african american immigrants are not mexican they don't come to africa broke they typically come with skills,talents and cash.

I understand what they are trying to say but the are just wrong, most black people who go to africa don't go with a savior mentality or a robber mentality they go for their own personal reasons and not to necessarily save the poor africans.

and many of them feel like it africa that saved them and not the other way around

Nollywood films are garbage. Black Hollywood would should start a buncha production companies. Bein' that the writers and directors would be black, the cast, stories etc would be mostly black too.

I agree, they should start their own production companies in the US.

 

[Shizlansky]

These same Africans y'all brag on comes to the states in droves.

Until they own their own resources it will never be home.
