Its no longer news that Nollywood has come to stay and waxing
stronger everyday. This is the reason why other African countries want
to associate with the industry which has contributed immensely to the
growth of the Nigerian economy.
In analyzing how the growth of the make-belief industry has been
rapid in terms of growth, many would say thanks to the English aspect of
Nollywood, while some will say the Yorubas and others would want to
settle for the Kannywood, but whatever aspect it is, Nollywood is Nollywood.
Where VibeNigeria.com will be pointing its torchlight at, is the
Yoruba movies translation to the English language. You will agree with
me that a non-Yoruba person who does not even understand the language,
will find it saddening to decode what they are saying because the
translation sometimes does not conform with what the actors are saying
and sometimes it is not all what the actor is saying that is being
translated. The few translation they manage to give is always spelt
wrongly and could be misleading at times.
You will agree with me that in terms of good story line, we have to
give it to the Yoruba movies. They are very good at telling the story
the natural or native way. But is faced with the challenge of relaying
it with good English translation which i feel could be better if
adequate attention is given to it.
