We are all now very sensitive in this country and it has destroyed the fun we usually have with ourselves, sad!!!
They just need to leave this lady alone honestly. Movies are not supposed to be taken so seriously. You wont see them nag hollywood movies and their stupid stereotypes but when it comes to nollywood we always have something to say. May God deliver our country. I am a yoruba lady and i do not give af. Its a flipping movie.
Then, and now this movie shouldn't have been made period. The Igbos has always have bad name for the Yoruba's. There is this lady on youtube all what she does is to talk down at Yoruba's
I really love your content keep it up ❤
All this haters are going to hell, beacause haters cannot get to Heaven, Nigeria is a blessing for all Nigerians, let make good usecof this great blessing from God Almighty, God Almighty bless Nigeria in Christ Jesus Amen. Nigeria will always be one and united in Christ Jesus Amen
We're now feeding so much on western social media platform that sees everything in one direction. We have enough to fight about but no Religion and language is always our fight.
That’s offensive, whether it was said today or 10 years ago. And I’m not Yoruba.
Politics is the genesis of this problem, when the election year is drawn near you will see different kinds of wahala
I too love ❤️ your presentation
I really don't find that scene palatable indeed. Whoever wrote that script and the producers made a mistake.
Well said! Thank you Oge for your unbiased professional input on the issue.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am Ghanaian, but I want to ask, should everything be about tribalism?
The election is close, and they are finding things to stir up division, they are using a movie scene.
Oge, please stop saying the movie has been there 3 years ago. It doesn’t matter, what’s bad is bad, period. I love your content though and as a Yoruba man, it’s offensive but it’s an error. And like you said, producers and directors should be more careful with their content and think deeply about the political aspects before at the end of the day everything in life revolves around politics, not only in Nigeria 🇳🇬 it’s happening in HOLLYWOOD. Finally, it a shame that the two tribes are unnecessarily behaving badly but you know and I know that like you said, we both will never be apart, we married more than any other ethnic groups. So let’s promote unity going forward. Personally I love Igbo actors for their contribution in our country entertainment industry. IK ogbona was actually one of my best actors in the industry. Naija na our own. More love ❤️ 🇳🇬😂🌷👏
My take even though I'm not one of both tribes. You won't be surprised those yuroba bringing it up now is for political motivation. These are the few bigot yuroba. Why almost election period this is what they do in this particular stage. I'm not trying to put fire but irritating.The Ibos has no problem with the yuroba, but yuroba is the one having problems with the ibos. What about Mama chikundi and chinedu presidential candidate not to contest in lagos. What about none yuroba not voting in lagos and burning the ibos' property? I have said it severally. Tinubu presidency has caused more harm to their ethnicity due to their hate speeches to protect a man who is destroying the lives of millions of Nigerians with his cronies. Yuroba bigotry are from the tops to lowest level. Where are those protesting and swearing on Jonathan.
Ogechi mechie onu have Yoruba men not called you Igbo woman yam leg with beard chest…
Biko mechie onu
Ofemanu people started it
Blame Yoruba politics and politicians especially Tinubu
Honestly, Ogeh, people should leave Bolaji alone. It's an artistic work. Stereotypes are real. We know it doesn't apply to everyone. Yoruba's have their own stereotypes of Igbos. Let's stop pretending. Sometimes, movies and comedy can push the limits in a humorous manner that will actually help to eliminate the folly that is tribalism. As an Igbo man, I have great respect for Yorubas and Yoruba culture just as I do my own people and culture. The only perfect human that lived is Jesus Christ. The only perfect culture is God's kingdom, which has not come to full manifestation. I pray for Bolaji. The Lord, the good Lord will continue to bless her career and business. We cannot put every Yoruba or Igbo in a single box. I have met Yoruba's that are so tribalistic they don't want anything to do with Igbos. I know Igbos who are the same narrow-minded people. Bolaji Ogunmola is a terrific actress and beautiful creature. She should be celebrated for her work. Each of us should know who we are before God. That's all that matters. Nobody can take away your dignity if you have it.
Its just a movie, I beg. Offense everywhere
