Weti she dey find for CNN?iF IT'S TRUE,THEN TO HER CREDIT

hey what was my girl doing on CNN

I did not see her. But was she doing?

i saw her.she was on da eye on africa programme-nollywood.she looked very beautiful.

i saw her on CNN, even tough some of the comments Jeff Konainge said was kinda emarrasing to the movie industry,

It was a special cnn programme on Africa, and they decided to talk about nollywood. It was okay, at least it was a fair report.

Jeff Koinange mentioned the low quality of the costuming, set-design and camera, the report also focused on the growing popularity of nollywood in africa and the world. Ini Edo was interviewed at the African music awards where hollywood stars like Vivica A. Fox and Louis Garsett where present.

oh ok, so it wasnt like she was at the CNN centre?

could someone prove a link or something where we can watch and verify?

Haba! she has not reached that extent yet. Maybe 5 years time

NO BIG DEAL SEEING INI ON CNN ANYMORE IS IT? It would have been news if it was on some more credible and authentic news leaders like ABC, FOX or NBC.
ON CNN? Common anyone can get on CNN nowadays especially after they open up their bureau in LAGOS, it takes just a few bucks and bingo! you are on.
Most likely, the organisers of the event paid for it and they just crash in on that story _ killing 2 birds with one stone!
That "BUSH" isn't it anymore.
Good for her though she has been seen across africe like she could have, if she had appeared on AIT!
Realise that the CNN you watch down there in west africa is different from the one shown in some other parts of the world and GOD help her that edition will be recommended for broadcast on other CNN channels across the world.
I would rather love to see her appear on CHANNELS than that overtly government apologetic channel that crowns itself as the news leader.
Just wonder what people like WALTER CRONKITE would say when CNN comes to AMERICA to pronounce that it is the news leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please Guys Lets plug into the real news leader like ABC, NBC, FOXXXXXXXX or even CHANNELS and AIT!

well i didn't see Ini on CNN, but i think, there is no big deal seeing the baby girl on CNN

Oh damn!I was going to watch the programme on saturday but i forgot and this thread has reminded me of it!

ontheair,i assume you are a journalist working for a rival news company?

Okay is just a documentry, no big deal, the interview must have taken place outside the CNN Centre, Orikinla, next explian when you post a topic quo

I wonder why some people are saying "good for her" when they dnt even know what she was doing on CNN. She was probably being sent to jail.

Anyways, uhmm Good for INI oo. LOL

Okay nahh seriously, i need to watch that documentary thingy.

Are you high on something? Why all these uncalled-for rambling about CNN. Are you one of the ultra-right Fox apologists? Fair and Balanced bullshit!!!

I'm confused too He seems to have a lot of venom for CNN.
Did they deny you a job or something

U guys are stupid. bcause CNN have a branch in lagos that means its local. Fox and all this bollshit, like infotaining. that wat i can say. selfish too.

It was indeed an accomplishment to have someone associated with Nollywood being able to inform the world about their cause. We have a saying in the islands, "you use sprat(a very small fish) to catch whale". Ini's appearance might seem very insignificant to some but indirectly she may have opened up doors and opportunities for greater things.
Also someone mentioned the hostility of the anchorman with regards to derrogatory remarks he made. Look! forget these people always remember that Americans believe that anything that is Non-american can never be good- WRONG>
I am truly happy for Ini and Nollywood to wider extent.

neelsel you took the words right out of my mouth
im really happy for her and nollywood.

it's rhodalyn's cousin

cnn- lol im not being rude but everyone knows that channel. cnn its a news station or whatever

i didnt see her but my dad probably did. but dont think he knows her. so he didnt tell me about it.

I don't get it, are you guys unhappy that she appeared in CNN or what?

when will they show it again ?

Yeah, they were doing a piece on Nollywood and she was interviewed briefly. It aired on Saturday and Sunday.

In any case, yeah, they said something along the lines of a movie can be shot in a just a week - a week! - and about 200 movies are released a month. Not so surprised about the bad quality and unoriginality afterall.

Also, the yearly revenue Nollywood generates is about $200 million. Not bad, eh?

Making A Difference

A small boy was running
up and down the beach,
feverishly hurling
starfish back into the
water before they died.
An old man approached
him, "Do you honestly
think your work will
make a difference?"
he asked him skeptically.
The boy looked at him
with sparkling eyes,
held up a starfish and
said, "It makes a
difference to this
one!" and threw the
starfish back into the sea.
