Adeyemi Michael Wins Grierson British Documentary Award by Nobody: 7:33pm On Dec 01, 2013 |
A Nigerian, Adeyemi Michael, has won the prestigious Grierson British Documentary Award in London. The 28 year-old man, based in London, attracted global attention, this time, not for a crime, but for an outstanding achievement recorded with a true life story of a young Nigerian British based boy named Sodiq now in jail for murder. Accepting the award, an excited Adeyemi expressed happiness for the breakthrough that had brought him into the global news scene for the right reasons. “I am pleased to be a Nigerian,” he told Channels Television’s correspondent in London, Doris Okenwa. He urged young people to pursue their dreams following the right path and insisted that “the grass was not always greener outside one’s home country.” Adeyemi called on Nigerians in diaspora to do more in transforming the nation’s international image. Many Nigerians often see a life abroad as the only idea of a promising future. They are said to be present in all nooks and crannies of the world but unfortunately good news of earnest endeavours of thriving Nigerians in diaspora are seldom told. However, Adeyemi believes success is not restricted to a location and appeals to his peers in Nigeria and abroad to shun dodgy means of getting to the top. The latest recipient of the coveted Grierson British Documentary Award for 2013 is walking his way up the ladder of the industry and seeks to pull more Nigerians along. He called on the Nigerian government to help the nation’s film industry Nollywood get to the top. Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan has shown keen interest in taking Nollywood to a new level with grants worth millions of Naira. But critics have stressed that as much as the government has a role to play, the industry’s players equally have a responsibility to make this initiative work. ...... www.www.channelstv.com/home/2013/12/01/nigerian-wins-grierson-british-documentary-award/ 1 Like |

The guy did a documentary on a fellow Yoruba boy who was jailed for murder in Britain. What is the big deal? On a second thought, when will Yorubas stop killing in Britain and soiling the image of other Nigerians? 2 Likes |

And if people start bashing Igbos now, you people will call us tribalists? Can't you look beyond your nose for once? You really sound bitter. You people do not hesitate to turn anything into tribal wars.!! What sef? If your day-job isn't keeping you busy, I suggest your volunteer at the local animal shelter, that can help you relieve stress (you have so much pent up anger in you) and trust me it will do you loads of good.
