If the Igbos will wake up and know that they are great!!! I mean almost every tribe hates the igbos yet we are the ones that drive a major part of the economy of Nigeria. Igbos How i wish we all will reunite and stand up to make our voice heard!!!

optimisticlady said...

No wonder his films are more of Yoruba -themed,his crew,almost 100% Yoruba people...anyway...he has apologised.

Anonymous said...

Are u God u fool. He has apologised what else do u want from him. Perhaps we all no he's saying the truth. The igbos are pirating their work and its killing their biz.

His comments is not one that can be fixed with s one-liner apology....I think hid movies should be removed from our television stations and movie theaters. It will serve as a strong deterrent to others that may want to do same in future. We forgive you but such actions have grave consequences

Endydecency said...

Idiotic Bigot you failed to know that it's the people you called pirates watch all your films more, since your Yoruba brothers prefer Yoruba films more. You also forget that they are the ones that distribute your films to all parts of the country, you also forget that it's Igbos that own Nollywood. Now you will know what you comment means. Ewu.

Unknown said...

Rubbish. Good you said your mind. No point apologizing cos it makes no difference. Ewu gambia anuofia.JC.

Anonymous said...

You are so stupid. How u could wake up and start spewing rubbish against a whole tribe beats me. Why didn't you text your brothers to tell them of your frustration? You had to go on social media? You are a disgrace to your profession. And you will have to live with the consequences of your utterances. Sorry just won't cut. That's why it's only character that can keep a man a top. Change your ways Mr Afolayan.

You can go to hell and burn to Ashes then. I am sure he wasnt apoligising to your specie of idiocy.

FOOLISH FOOL!!!!!!! WE LIVE IN AN ERA WHERE PEOPLE SAY JUNKS INTENTIONALLY THEN COME UP AND PRETEND TO BE SORRY. WORDS ARE LIKE BROKEN EGGS.. SORRY FOR YOURSELF.. YOU'VE SAID YOUR MIND AND SHOWN YOUR HATE FOR THE IGBOS. THAT DOES NOT CHANGE.. THAT NOLLYWOOD IS WHAT IT IS TODAY , AND THAT YOU'RE BEING KNOWN TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THE IGBOS. YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT THEIR EFFORTS.. IDIOT

Anonymous said...

it does not change the fact that thats how he feels about igbos. Thing is, he should have referred to pirates alone, calling igbos into the matter only deviates from the point. What does tribe have to do with anything??? You messed up Kunle Afolayan, and this will haunt you forever. "This one that hates igbos"... It wont drop sales dont worry...but you have tagged yourself for life as the "igbo hater". Goodluck!

Juleslouis said...

So matured. Good to see a man admitting his maistakes and apologising.

How will you look your ibo 'friends' in d face after dis? And for crying out loud lagos is not owned by any tribe cos it was d first capital a lot of this generation knew so wer either born or brought over there as children by their civil servant children! Just like Abuja belongs to no tribe!

Idiot!!! Tribalistic Yoruba fool. Go rot in hell.

Goaldyn Boy said...

He had said the general mindset of Yoruba people! So everyone should be wary of the Yoruba friends you keep! They are more dangerous than the green snake in green grass! They are backstabbers, tribalists,bigots,lazy and envious lots! See their ugly faces as if someone vomitted on top their faces!

Take a lookat how Yoruba people are littered all over the places in London without harrassments. They are even committing terrorism in London, but the white man has not asked them to pack their load and leave. But the are quick in claiming Lagos and threatening Igbos to leave Lagos. What irks me most is that you won't hear this crap from the real lagosians, its the Yorubas from Ogun and far away Kwara that is always possessive of Lagos!

They should start using their brain for what it's meant for ie. to think! If you remove Commerce from Lagos which the Igbos are dominant and also remove the oil money that originates from south south and southeast, can Lagos survive? No way! Take a look at how Osun and Oyo state governors are crying everyday due to insufficient oil money handout they receive from Federal Govt! If the country divides, without oil money southwest is doomed!

Ujukwu. Made the Igbo,s to know that they are not truuly treated like Nigerians,i believe Very soon we. Will have our own nation called ,Biafra! By the grace of God.

That did not sound like an apology to me. God would judge all of you that wont let the Igbo man rest in your hearts and mouth; because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

Being Tochi said...

He is a fool! The said has been said, he has shown us how he feels about the igbos. He can now keep his apologies to himself

Any firm or industry without an Igbo person will surely collaspe...we are the giant of Africa....sure, so envy must always be there,,,,,so kunle go and hug trasformer for all we igbos care...anu mpama

AdaAda said...

All this Ibo bashing going on... but why?! Because we are enterprising? Because we dare to survive? I cheered so hard for Kunle during the last concluded AMVCAs. Not once did I think of him as Yoruba. I just thought of him as a fellow human doing something and doing it well. Kunle nna...but why?!!! Apology has been heard but now we know your stance. My brothers and sisters in Nollywood abeg when you dine with him, use a long spoon.

Freaking bigot, Linda post my comment cos I know your own priority is money. As for u igbos I wonder when u would learn that yorubas hate igbos with perfect hatred, nothing can change it, no matter how long u fool urself with them

Oyiza said...

People please hear me out. I totally underatand Kunle's frustration as an industry person also dealing with piracy issues (and it is a VERY serious problem), I however do not condone tribalism or tribe bashing in any way, shape or form.

To Kunle, I'll advice that you address this quickly and properly with a heart-felt apology (and not a random or PR crafted one). Find a genuine way to make it up to the disappointed public. You are in a very responsible position with a platform tthat reaches millions of people worldwide. You have endeared us with the quality of your craft and helped put the industry on the world map. And we're thankful for that. So like Jega to Orubebe, we really need to check out public utterances.

To you my understandably-angry Ibo brothers and sisters, it's easy to ask your forgiveness but difficult to give. Please do try to move past this and please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We are one Nigeria and we all need each other, NOW especially. Thanks

Kunle afolayan and oba of Lagos.I am highly disappointed at the both of u. U guys are the problem we have in this country.I am so disappointed that am Yoruba.u sit and blame the ibo's when the create job opportunities for us. In our greedy and inability to hustle like the ibo people do,we sell our lands to them and while the build,make better use of our lands and develop our country,we sit down and blame them. Dear ibo people,u can see that the people u do all these for are not grateful,y dint u start developing the east my ibo friends. Except tribalism is extinct that is when we will have a peaceful Nigeria.

It's sad we are going this route, the ongoing anti-igbo sentiments is something I don't get. Mr Afolayan thanks for the apology, but you ought to also complain of the end user's of your pirated movies, who are without doubt Majority Yoruba's.
In law, since they are part of the chain, they are also criminals. You ought to have mentioned them in your rant.
