Oga, every event that occurs in life must someday be told as a story, whether the parties involved like it or not.

If I reside in Finland and decide to make a movie of the ALUU incident, will these parents come there and tell me to shut it down?

You people should learn to sometimes bury rubbish sentiments and reason issues logically. What's all this noise sef? When books and movies were made about the Biafran civil war, was the entire Igbo land asked for consent as to whether they wanted their story to be told or not?

Una too dey do for this country!

Buddha3:


Families of the boys will have a significant share of the profits?

LMAO!

Are you people on this forum even serious? Jesus Christ! Please under what legal framework is she supposed to share proceeds with the families? Because she retold a true life story? Did she use the actual names of the victims and their families?

I sincerely thought nairalanders were more intelligent than this. My God!

So Linda & Co made a movie on this incident without seeking the permission of the traumatised parents of the guys burnt to death?



How about somebody beat and burn to death that Linda's only son, Jason or what's his name and then I go make a movie about it without considering her trauma or/and seeking her permission?


Nigerians will always tag Buhari as evil and the personalization of everything that's wrong with this country. But the vast majority of Nigerians are desperately evil.. For them, money comes 1st, and any other thing or person can go to hell


So of all the things Linda & Co had to try to cash out from, it is that horrible incident that the family of those guys are trying as much as possible to forget?..After cashing out from immortalizing the terror these parents are trying to hard to bury, so Linda can comfortably go to sleep while these people are forever reminded by her movie of a a terror best forgotten?

How can Linda, being a mother herself, albeit an unfortunate and useless one, be so callous?

Buddha3:


Now I know you're only arguing to show the crowd that you can use certain vocabularies.

What do you mean by "libel, slander, defamation"? Disclaimers like you've rightly alluded to, are put in mostly movies told from the writers' imaginations, just to ward off court cases in the events someone somwhere coincidentally relates to the contents and decides to sue. But we've all seen tons of movies made and from the very first scene, we're told they're from true life events. In the case of the latter, disclaimers are not needed. And if the actual names of the affected parties or their families and loved ones are not used, there's absolutelt no legal basis for consultations and consents. I have said this countless times on this thread already.

But since you, the families and some other Nigerians feel very strongly that Linda Ikeji and Netflix have erred in the making of this movie, kindly approach the courts. And since you're not willing to learn beyond the prism of your emotional confines, abeg I don tire to dey argue with you!

Nuzo1:


What the heck are you even talking about sef? Is she the only one that has made a movie or documentary about real life stories of other people?

Usually in other climes you want to claim knowledge of, families of such people are usually contacted and even more and true information is gotten and the stories well told in a manner it won’t be too traumatic for the families. In most cases, those families are made co-producers.

Where most families are not usually contacted are cases where the characters are criminals and cases well established by the courts.

Look, I never said she would be found wanting by the court.

It’s not legal stuf, but a moral thing.

Blackmail people here all you want, if the families are not well taken care of; it will be clear Linda set out to profit from the families suffering from day one.

God1000:
Good, they should not use that tragic event to make money.

None of them said anything about bringing the perpetrators to book since all these years.

Nature12:


The whole of PH city were traumatized I would not want to see the movie so as not to open a closed injury. I believe even if you were not in PH city then or still not try to search the video and watch trust me you will not ask for this story to be told by someone who cares just for the money #Aluu 4

Your use of the Biafra analogy sir, goes to show you're tone-deaf.

The world over, those involved are only consulted if the producers want to use the exact names and details involved. That is the only legal basis for consultations and agreements.

Much as the incident was painful, it does not change the fact there's absolutely no legal framework that mandates anybody to consult the families before recreating the incident through movies, songs or books. What you Nigerians are doing right now is purely tantamount to emotional blackmail.

Do you know there are children today who do not know about the ALUU story? Do you know most Nigerians have even forgotten about it? Since you're preaching decency, can you be honest enough to tell us that you remembered the ALUU incident since it happened to this day? If this movie had not been made, would you even remember those boys? Linda Ikeji should be appreciated more than vilified. She's keeping the memories of those boys alive.

Our prayers and thoughts have always been with the affected families. But this story has to be told, like Chijioke Iloanya who lost his life in the hands of Anambra state SARS officers, like countless other stories.

Agbegbaorogboye:


It's seems you did not read to understand what I'm saying. So long as it's based on true events and acknowledged so in the story, any part of the story that the family have a problem with, they can approach the courts. It doesn't matter if the names are changed as long as it is written in the movie that it is based on the aluu-4 event. Everyone knows what aluu-4 is and who those affected were.

Learn and learn. Even the name change can lead to being sued in court because those were not the names in aluu-4.

Agbegbaorogboye:


Really? And that gives her the right to appropriate their life and death due herself?

PrimadonnaO:



This is a devil's advocate-angle... and I don't think it holds much water.

The fact that she kept publishing spin-offs from the event doesn't mean she had genuine personal sympathies. She's a blogger! She was making money off a trending story.

From events past, Linda has shown that she can be truly cold & insensitive to other people's feelings. She would publish any story so long as it's a story and "juicy."

These are people's lives, for crying out loud!

I have no respect for her kind of blogging!

Ruining people!

Let people tell their stories or share their secrets themselves.

The fact that people in general love to read about the stories, miseries & whatnot of other people doesn't mean it's a good thing putting people's lives out there in that manner.
***********
This movie she went on to produce is quite unnecessary in my opinion.

ALUU-4 wasn't a hidden event.

She's not uncovering anything.

The families have reconciled the events and moved on with their lives, their grief in their bag.

Why reopen those wounds?

Buddha3:


I hear you, Mr Agbe.

But have you stopped to ask yourself why the group championing this course on behalf of the parents are yet to approach the courts and have rather been seeking audience with Ikeji and Netflix?

Have you stopped to wonder why Netflix is going ahead with the production despite claims that the families have not been contacted? You think a movie conglomerate that big does not have a legal department to advise on all inputs and consequences before proceeding?

Yes, Linda Ikeji erred on the moral side for not talking to the families prior to this movie making and she deserves whatever dragging she gets. But, she is not bound by any law anywhere to do so.
