Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi responds to Kunle Afolayan's tweets about the Igbos

You know when people have an opinion about you and just can't wait for the right moment to let you know...:-). Nollywood director Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi aka Mr Hollywood reacts to Kunle Afolayan's tweets

"I almost ignored Kunle Afolayan's useless tweets about Igbos being the only Pirates in Nigeria because to me, Kunle is just an over rated Nollywood film maker. He's not better than Izu Ojukwu, Teco Benson, Obi Emelonye, Chineze Anyaene to mention but a few. 
The secret of Kunle is his DOP Yinka Davies who does everything for him and at the end of the day Kunle will just come and announce 'action'... Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises his kinsmen showers on him. Kunle should thank Peace Anyiam Osigwe for giving him the platform of AMAA as a pedestal to limelight. Trust me, if Kunle walks the street of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu or any where outside yoruba land, not even one person will recognise him as a celebrity. I will rather worry myself with the Oba's threat to Ndi igbo than spend one second of my time thinking about Kunle's senseless tweets about the Igbos.
Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi (Mr Hollywood)

Thank u so much!!!. This has nothing to do with Tribalism just stating the fact as it is. I think Igbo elders have a lot of work to do where both the image and the attitude of our eastern brothers is concerned. Let's not forget that right now Kunle wears the shoe and he knows where it pinches him. Besides from ifeanyi's response I cannot see his denial of the crime just that he hates Kunles guts for coming to eat where he thinks Kunle has not sown. He should ask any any good MD, his success lies in his ability to delegate. If Kunle is doing a good job of that then kudos to him. Ifeanyi should just forget the hate.

All you guys saying igbos started nollywood should shut the fuck up. Ogunde and afolayan(father of kunle afolayan) started movies in the olden days. Am not in support of what kunle said but he's right, you people don't just want to admit and accept cause it's the truth. And this one talking about teco benson and co that they Produce Igbo movie, that's a big fat lie. They mix both yoruba, Igbo and Hausa actors in their movies. Post my comment aunt linda

aaan aaan guys, why the pain
the actual coward here is ifeanyi, true kunle crossed the line by specifying , but why didn't ifeanyi address the main issue.
why did he go through his biography
that was so cowardice of ifeanyi.

no relationship between igbos and his biography!!! pleeeeeease

honestly, kunle wasnt wrong about piracy been rampant in the eastern part of the country. all the dubbed disk are produced there and transported to oher part of the country for sale. the focus should be on how to fix this piracy problem. if your brother is depleting the revenue of another man, he has to be corrected. besides, igbos are the most tribalistic,greedy dishonest fellows in this country.

Anonymous said...

it is an utter shame that someone like Kunle could degenerate to a level of spooning another tribe that not only liked him but supported his brand. why kill your own brand? you think Yoruba's buy your films more than other tribes especially the Igbos? go check the statistics! its so dumb in this time and era to fan embers of hatred amongst same people you want to grow your brand with.
i hope that you survive this over a medium to long time! for me you have lost me forever!

Are we all BLIND to see there is division in everything in Nigeria? The campaigns for presidential elections did more division to an already divided people. How come there was no rant about the obvious division in the so called Nollywood? The yoruba producers and marketers are different from the hausa ones, the Iweka road producers and marketers also stand alone. Does the ibinabo lead AGN represent in totality the interest of yoruba and hausa actors? Why are we fooling ourselves? Kunle afolayans father made movies in Nigeria in the era of Ogunde, movies were shot on celluloid and went straight to cinema, no piracy. A culture of movie going was developing and appreciated all over the world and so was Nigerian music then. Kunle has followed in the footsteps of his father through the training and mentorship of real producers of african films like Tunde kelani. If you watch kunles movies you will see careful scripting, acting, directing, editing, special effects etc. it is wrong for anyone to put that much into his work and not be bitter about anyone from any tribe that steals it for their own gain. Alibaba wrote recently about how the movie production and markrting started in the south east. It is all about money, not the art or culture involved. There is division in our land, there is division in our lives. The people dancing all over the place for the millions that was paid invthe name of campaign should have channeled that money into working tirelessly to ensure piracy is stopped. They should have appealed to government to enforce laws that will make piracy has illegal has drug trafficking. They should have made use of the attention they were receiving from Mr president. As usual in Nigeria its all about selfish gains and show off opportunity. Kunle Afolayan, i salute your work and your courage. This is Lagos, it is yorubaland, a land that has made visitors welcome and strangers feel at home and allowed their businesses thrive. Let us respect a people and culture of tolerance...........So fuck you Igbo people's Opinion...Fuck y'all for hating on Kunle !!!

Kindle, ignore them , you don overcome them , a recognition all over the world . Whether you are overrated or not, the world loves you. If igbo people like it or not , they can go and die . They have said the worst in the past . Definitely we all know that Onitsha is the land of fakery , so no big deal . Truth must be told. NA YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD THEM . ALSO TELL THEM , IT RUNS IN THE BLOOD

I agree with this person

Chukwunaeme said...

There's not one sector of this entity called Nigeria that tribalism hasn't killed or will not kill in time to come. The Yoruba thinks the Igbo is his problem and vice versa. The Hausa thinks the Yoruba is his problem and vice versa. Not one atom of love. There's nothing like one Nigeria. The earlier we all accept that and face it, the better for us all. Haba Alhaji! Keenu dis country ka onye obula laa be ya.

Chukwunaeme said...

Everyday na Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba we dey hear. We don't have any business being one nation. This is the bitter truth.

I don't knw why all dis hate frm dis pple called the yoruba's....dat coward called kunle is a vry stupid and senseless idiot...too tribalistic as if the yoruba's are even half better dan the igbos...rubbish

Anonymous said...

Wen I read these comments on the whole Oba of Lagos saga, I feel sorry for Igbos truly. When will you guys let the past go so that God can truly heal your hearts. Lets stop being hypocrites every tribe is tribalistic in some form or way. I think Igbos are even the most tribalistic in Nigeria. I totally agree that the Oba of Lagos was wrong but y are you guys still flogging the matter? all my life, I have listened to Igbos always saying hurtful things about Yorubas but I always choose to ignore and let it go. But you guys now want to take this thing so seriously as if your life depends on it. So freaking what if you want to vote PDP. Vote whoever the hell you want. Whether na Pdp or na Apc, its still a Yoruba man that will emerge the Governor of Lagos state.
So take a chill pill yall. Linda I expected more from you sha, all this posts are they necessary?

As much as I hate to say this, Kunle said what most people are scared to say out loud. 90% of piracy are done by the igbos with due respect to the sincere ones please.Enough with all the sentiments and tribalism talk.

Racism is a bitch. Tribalism is a bitch.
Tribalism is now the main topic.
Give him another local DOP and see if Kunle is worth all the praises "HIS KINSMEN" showers on him.
The writer Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi cannot separate himself from the ugliness he writes about.
"HIS KINSMEN"
So many Nigerians are "Ifeanyi Ikpoeny"

I am not nigerian but i know the ibos are a waste to Nigeria, i have travelled all over Nigeria as a business man but the first time i was almost kidnapped and robbed was in Abia, It will do Nigerians good to give the Ibos their Biafra. Even in America we ask people what tribe they are from in Nigeria to know if they are toxic, and the ibos are very toxic.

What a shame that film producers like Kunle don't even know the inner workings of piracy in Nigeria and most part of the world. Someone should please tell Kunle that the main source of Piracy in our country is the Chinese. He should go do a proper research. Pirated CDs will disappear on the streets when producers locate and take legal steps to destroy Chinese and Lebanese factories disguised as warehouses. As for that hate speech, a word for you Kunle; YOU JUST EXPOSED YOUR SEMI LITERACY. YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN HAWKERS ON THE STREETS OF LAGOS. SHAME !

And this so called Ifeanyi is no better than any other person called Tribalistic. All he could talk about refer to Igbos, trying to make some people popular and also making public his disagreement for awards Kunle won.
Is that not tribalism?

Why not make the guy feel sorry for what he said than express your hatred and unhappiness for his success.

Nonsense!!

Dis ifeanyi guy is just hating. He should work harder and prayer harder maybe God will giv him d grace to get to kunle's status before he dies.

I understand kunle was pained concerning piracy et al...but mhen he is a public figure and should know better how to address issues. It's only fair if he got a taste of his own medicine whether he apologised or not. Truth is like they say "d operation was successful but d patient is dead" how in earth does he want to take back those words.

Opening your mouth irresponsibly and assuming you will be forgiven when you say you are sorry is silly, forgiveness is earned not demanded. And it is from the fullness of the heart that the mouth speaks, so our dear Kunle believes in what he said. Don't go making excuses for him.

bukola said...

Very sensible response I didn't see anything wrong in Kunle tweet but the egos of the igbos wouldn't let them rest. I have been in idumota before and my Igbo customers attacked me that my brothers are the thieves and areaboys disturbing them and I didn't take any offence.igbos are the lords of piracy is the Gospel truth just like Yorubas are there areaboys lol. Let igbo learn peaceful coexistence.

Anonymous said...

It's obvious he doesn't like the Kunle guy. Abeg let him yarn. all na bad belle. He too shld find his own DOP. Well at least this was a personal attack and not on all Kunle's kinsmen. Btw if U aren't a celeb in Yorubaland, can U really be considered a celeb in Naija? That's why they all come to Lagos na. Hahaha

Nkiru A said...

As time goes by,it becomes glaring,that igbos are really unique human specimen,good /bad whatever the cause maybe. All other tribes are freaking afraid off them. And naturally as cowards,they resort to bullying,intimidating,bad mouthing and use of abusive words are poured out to them. And like Neo of the Mart-ix,it doesn't stop them,may delay their planned time,but they keep moving. Priceless. Bring it on.Trust me,they can't be stopped. Like a phoenix bird they are rebirth from ashes and return to ashes. Igbos don't worry,you give all other tribes sleepless night and sleep well. Your life span is definitely longer and prosperous

Anonymous said...

My fellow igbos,its high time we leave Lagos for them and come and develop our capital- ENUGU. If all the igbo actors and musicians desert Lagos and come to ENUGU,Lagos will lose its glory in entertainment industry.

Anonymous said...

Well i think this Ifeanyi guy is tribalistic too and he has beef for Kunle.. its a big pity that Kunles film is now on the streets of lagos,I saw it in the traffic yesterday and the guy selling is coincidentally my igbo guy,I asked why the DVD is out so early,he told me that Kunle just released it yesterday 13th of April.on getting online now,I have found its a lie.Its so bad for these artistes that, some people are bent on eating from their hard sweats.I think its time for these people to be stopped,whether they are igbos or yorubas or whatever,Alaba international and other pirate hubs should be cleaned up of piracy.
