Nollywood: Igbohood, Hausahood, Yorubahood?

Just last week, I came across an article online where I got to know that the Yoruba movie industry are sort of creating the Yoruba movie scene parlance, Yorubawood. I could not laugh out this unwholesome patois. For God's sake, what we know Nigeria for is Nollywood, not Yorubahood, Hausahood, Igbohood or 'anytribehood'.

I heard they (Yoruba movie makers) were of the complaint that Nollywood does not apply nor exist to their advantage.  So, it was pertinent to carve out a niche from the Nollywood base. SMH#

Wait a minute, there are more than 250 tribes in Nigeria. Does this then means that other tribes who feel unsatisfied with the benefit (where is the benefit sef) Nollywood tends to offer or is offering.

In fact, you have got to read the article here.
