Wale Adenuga Faking Foreign Scenes In Super Story by Nobody: 8:17pm On Feb 08, 2013 |
Wale Adenuga needs no introduction to many Nigerians, atleast those(some of us ) that read old magazines in the 80s like Ikebe super, Binta and super story.. 'When they were published, these magazines sold in the excess of half a million copies per edition. They were a success story.' In the 90s WAP debuted TV shows and most that have been around especially from yr 2000 to date and are also TV adherent(foreign and Local tv channels) would know about his TV shows such as Super Story, Papa Ajasco and co, This life, Binta and friends etc. No doubt, all his shows are entertaining and educating, but my issue with him is on the new TV series of super story titled 'ITOHAN! A CALL TO ACTION' The program was recorded in conjuction with NAPTIP(National Agency for Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Other Related Matters ) and supposedly shot in about 6 'countries' around the world comprising Nigeria, Benin, Mali, Morrocco, spain and Italy. read more here http://www.naptip.gov.ng/pressitohan.html The issue is this. Most of us have come to realise that Nollywood movies are fictional and so fake. I was expecting WAP to do better cos of his pedigree. We saw the Nigeria scenes, Benin republic scenes, Mali scenes and 'Morrocco scenes'. The so called Italy and Spain scenes are big lies. The ladies sits on the curb and wait for customers in the street. Those curbs we see are as stained as what we see in Lagos Nigeria. Also Glory Young (thats the madam in Italy) only sits in the house, without having to view the garden at all. Most foreign scenes are acted at Night without the day brightness to really convince us the film was acted in the countries alleged. I believe Nigerians can do better than this. Tade Ogidan that's behind the evergreen movie diamond ring, did a better job. RMD the father of teju baby face actually traveled in search of the diamond ring and it was shown in daylight. I dont hate WAP, but i hate the fact that Nigerians are being fooled again. I rest my case 2 Likes |

DAMN!!! So that's how they do it. Cuts out the hassles of hiring locations and transportation of equipment. With this video one can see the relevancy of the studio system. Thanks for this educational video Villageboi. 1 Like |

Na normal thing for FILM jare For example, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) had "Nigerian" scenes of Lagos and a Village in South Eastern Nigeria where Ibo was even spoken but the crew and cast never set foot in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

You guys are really missing the point. Whats the need for review and constructive criticism? we watch nollywood and a movie shot in 2007, having a flash back of 1998, with a bill board of MTN that came to Nigeria in 2001 at the background. how does that add up? You've claimed to have shut a movie in Italy, whereas you're faking it. Should be all be fooled and swallow the lies? its not compulsory to travel to shoot films but dont just make things up. 6 Likes |

I thought i was the only one that saw it. Complained about the fake scenes that it dosent make the movie real to a friend but he said I criticize too much... It's so disgusting seeing all those scene without anyform of creativity and they want us to believe it was shot Europe. Remember the scene where the guy had picked the three girls to go deliver them to the house where they would later meet the madam..It was totally emabarassing seeing uncoated railings which am damn sure was a location around lagos and WAp said it was Italy... Do we have to always celebrate mediocrity. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. No scene with the characters relating to the everyday street life of the countries you were showing. They need to up their game truly. 3 Likes |

It's so sad when people who don't know jack about movie production open their mouth gbagba to talk about it. Not a big fan of Nollywood....heck I detest the industry for many reasons but not shooting on location is not one of them. Do you know how many of the Hollywood movies are actually shot on the location they are set? Do you know how many TV shows you watch are shot in the cities they are based? Hundreds of thousands!! You wanna know why. .. is cuts costs. If Hollywood with their big azz budgets can do that despite the fact that they are somewhat guaranteed huge box office returns, why should Nollywood be any different??! Movie making in itself is about creating an illusion or do you think all those people jumping and kicking in the air 7 times are doing it for real? So what yeye truth are you looking for? Again only someone who knows very little about the logistics of movie making will think this is an issue worth discussing. Here's a little homework for you Kato...Do some research on SET DESIGNING/PRODUCTION. Now, now don't fret. ..you aren't going to get graded for it. The assignment is for you to educate yourself so next time you won't open a thread laid on the foundation of ignorance. 9 Likes |
