A film premiere on Tuesday flopped because Silverbird Cinemas could not get their generators to work, after being paid in full.

"The Uyo - Akwa Ibom state outlet of the famous Senator Ben Bruce-Murray founded "Silverbird Cinemas", a subsidiary of the Silverbird Group, on the 10th day of January 2016 made a fast one on renowned movie maker; Okechukwu oku, who paid them in full to use their outlet for the premiere of his highly anticipated comedy movie: THE BOSS IS MINE.

The Uyo premiere was slated to hold on the 10th of January after a superb outing in Enugu as it was first premiered in Genesis Cinemas in Enugu which recorded a massive success.

Silverbird Cinemas, knowing fully well that such a prestigious event was slated for the 10th of January, made no efforts to put things in order before the event, because as at 4pm on that fateful day, there was a power outage at the outlet, with no single backup power supply system as it was further revealed that all their Generators...4 of them...were all out of service and needed maintenance.

Efforts to bring back power supply to the build proved abortive. A lot of people who came to view the movie were seen leaving angrily, while some who has already bought tickets demanded for a refund.

Special guests like the popular Nigerian artistes: Iyanya, Selebobo, popular Comedy actor; Imeh Bishop, the State's commissioner on arts and culture: Ini Akpabio and a host of other dignitaries where all sad, disappointed and left when it was obvious that the Silverbird Cinemas - Uyo, had no positive response to the situation.

Everyone left

Then around 8;45pm, when everyone has already left, they powered up the outlet and sarcastically asked the movie-maker, Okey Oku, to start up his movie premiere.

Instead of tendering an apology and looking for ways to calm the situation, The Silverbird Cinema handlers said that they owe nobody no apology, that the malfunction wasn't their fault but an act of God!

See photos from the fiasco

B

Act of God indeed

Cool

Sen. Bruce no go use common sense here now.

Shey Uyo is that place where the inhabitants are so poor Government has to subsidise Cinema tickets in order for them to be able to afford to watch films?





Why would you do a movie premier in that kind of place? Those Uyo people will just wait till Alaba boys start making the VCD and selling it at 100 Naira a copy.

If it were to be related to PMB's administration, Ben Bruce would have
flooded twitter with :-
1. The News
2. The Errors Made
3. Suggested Solutions
4. Future Prevention Techniques
5. Compensation Plans for affected personnel



Let's see how he will handle this issue; at least he can practically show
us how he will handle the political seat he has being "eyeing"

Imeh sef

commissioner on arts and culture: Ini Akpabio

So Akpabio has his person in this new government

Waiting for twitter senator to say something about this

iWas here

back to back

Mr Bruce come here o



meanwhile check my signature.

where is bruce

Not only the generator isn't working but the whole state entirely.

I was in Uyo first time last year October, and spent disappointing 6 days, Grading each places visited, starting from the airport; 50% operation, e-Library below average, The stadium - average, now to the cinema; below expectation, all the movies presented as new movie, have all saw the movie here in Abuja..., and to my dismay, the place where the cinema is, nothing else is working, everything still under construction, not even Shoprite is opening yet and I remember vividly the way Akpabio hyped everything then like a world class standard and fully operating.

Finally, when leaving the state, Dana Air staff in charge of boarding passengers that day made me miss the flight because the sold out seat to politicians that wanted to travel to Abuja for their tribunal judgement.

Seriously, that state needs deliverance

Why is it on Nl?
Wch should console or be angry @ them?

The time they recorded success, the post am here?

Idiots

Funny

Disappointment

It's Jonathan fault

My name Ben Murray Bruce, and I just want to make common sense.
