Nigerian comedian, I Go Dye, has reacted to Federal Government's plan to ban the production of movies and music videos abroad.

I Go Dye who proposed ways the Nigerian Government can achieve their plan so no one cries of foul play, also asked relevant questions in his post. Here's what he wrote;

"Undoubtedly,entertainment: Music,Comedy,Sport, and Film productions are the highest-ranking human resource export from Nigeria.Government should protect their intellectual property and invest into its capacity building.

I have observed with keen interest the recent reports credited to the honourable minister of information and culture,proposing to ban the production of our indigenous films abroad.instead of such pronouncements,I expect a mutual partnership with government and all stake holders in the entertainments industry.what level of support has government provided to growth of entertainment in terms of protecting their works?p

iracy is still on the high,most of the actors,actresses and producers do not earn what's is obtainable in other parts of the world in terms of technical,social support and general contribution to their well being.I recommend that instead of putting laws to check the issue of films produced outside Nigeria.

Government should invest in the sector to develop it,introduce partnership that will bring about government earning funds from the services provided through technical equipment, logistic sites, and establishment of a standard Nollywood village.more so soft loans should be provided to aid film production ,while the ministry of information and culture should engage the film writer and producers to build contents that can significantly profile our image as a country.instead of confrontation,which will not be in the best interest of both the government and the artistes."

Mr president should also return back to the country & stop going abroad for treatment.

This govt won't kee sombori dey equaly ban schooling and medical treatments abroad mtcheew

vizkiz:
The federal government have no right to put any law in motion when the president himself has gone AWOL.

You're talking like if Buhari come back he'll support the artists. He'll just make it worse and tell them to only shoot videos in kaduna

vizkiz:


There can never be a restriction order on people's choice of location.

The last time I checked, there was freedom of movement. This idea is simply dead on arrival.

My man go and read our laws Abeg. This is not about freedom of movement

Trying to reason with a government that does not reason is like beating a dead horse.

ok

se FG can not play with you ppl ni, we all know this law can never come to pass.

Reading this in Igodye's voice made it sound like a joke to me, with dat him thick Warri accent.

Our govt should better free our entertainment industry abeg...

I dnt know why this is an issue.

Ask Govt for their investment plans in entertainment.

Force them to build more villages and ensure it is up to international standard.

Everybody reacting. It is not to react, I want to see the end product

They should also stop politicians from going abroad for treatment. Don't foreign movie producers go to other countries to shoot films? Morons.

Will they heed to these suggestions??

Funny country

Mumu people

There are so many issues in Nigeria that demands government attention not video production. What has music video production got to do with poor educational system, bad road, poor health sector and the likes. If i have my way i would suggest the military should plan another coup.

Too much political correctness here.

Buhari should return and patronize our Local Meds Dr Iguedo Goko cleanser...

ok na

Fg lack ideas

Fear no let am insult government, because he made money from Oshiomhole and APC
