But why all the gate man no dey get sense

I wonder o

YourNemesis:
No, sometimes movies can be a deliberate force for good, correcting the wrongs of society.
They have a Yoruba movies board, they need to start screening movies with less than 80% Yoruba language content. So many language regulatory boards across the world do it, including French, German and even Hindi.

I understand your point, but anyone really interested in promoting Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa culture or language, should make his own movie. If my focus as a businessman is to make money, i can even make a movie where they are speaking Yoruba and Spanish! Mind you many Yoruba movies have Ibo and Benin actors like Regina Chukwu and Mercy Aigbe. The freedom of capitalism should never be sacrificed on the altar of "lets promote our culture ". Thats a job for the Ogun State Ministry of Culture and Tourism or the Federal counterpart or maybe like you mentioned let the Yoruba Movies Board fund such a movie and pay actors well; not the "Egbon/Aunty please help me manage this 20k till we sell" mentality that pervades the Yoruba movie industry.

YourNemesis:
Is it only that?

How about their horrible code-mixing between 60% English and 40% Half baked Yoruba that they call Discussions in Yoruba?

They may think that it makes them sound "posh", but seriously, it is disgusting!

Why would I go the length of watching a movie in Yoruba only to hear them speaking English half the tie, when English nollywood or even America's hollywood is there for mea to watch and learn English Grammar?

But 90 to 99% % of Yoruba people speak both languages at the same time in every day conversations? Aren't movies a reflection of real life?
Expect a movie is based on an historical event like the movie Odua, that wont change anytime soon.

That was 2013 you put this up. Is it better now or worse? Dont really understand your point about the names? The primary motive of any film production house is profit, whether it be in Nigeria or the USA. Its the government ,educational and religious institutions etc that might have more altruistic motives. And these producers cater to the mentality of their audience, which is why 99% of Nigerian movies can not sell to a non African audience.
Mainframe movies are one exemption and the old movies by Ogunde and the Benin guy that did movies like "Death of a Black President ".
The average Nigeria believes in spiritual and diabolical things and believes they affect his daily life, thats why many movies focus on that.
With the overwhelming prevalence of piracy, this wont change anytime soon. When somebody invests 5 million in a movie and knows it will be pirated within days, even before release; he wont really be bothered about taking the time to make corrections, research, and professionalism.

This might be a long read guys pls don't be angry with me. I have been a guest on Nland for a while but decided to create this monicker for this purpose.

So this all started when i entered the university in fact i'm now in my finals but as it is now i'm laying on my

Thank you

Big mistake man..i was in your shoes a long time ago. Almost quit too. Finish it man, especially since you are in your finals. Dont be stupid. Finish the damn journey you started.
Be wise man.

PMB, please stop all these shenanigans and act like the C in C you promised to be.
Governing this country and dealing with the acts of violence happening nation wide is not rocket science. Public prayers were canceled even in your own State of Katsina because of bandits.
What is going on? Is there a plan to wipe out ALL Nigerians, Muslim and Christians, North and South? Male and Female?
What is the NIA with all the billions they collect to gather intelligence? What about the SSS?
Oga, act decisively now.

Preshiamadina:
..my guy every crime na crime Ghanians are not holier than thou...i know what i went through while schooling there...that doesn't mean thay they are all bad though..

Of course, there are tens of thousands Ghanaian criminals, but incomparable to the mindless savagery and blood letting of Nigerian criminals, not just in Nigeria, but now in many countries overseas.

Preshiamadina:
. Check the number below before you continue whinning your mouth.. Do you even know what i suffered in the hands of ghanians as the only Nigerian in the Boys dormitory whilei was in sec school..

Oil bunkering? A business funded and controlled by Nigerian government and security officials.
Not rape, murder, armed robbery, kidnapping and fraud. Show me one Ghanaian accused of that IN NIGERIA and I will show you 100 Nigerians accused of that IN GHANA.

How many Ghanaians commit crimes in Nigeria? I lived in that Ghana bro; its crazy what Nigerians are doing. Ghanaians in Nigeria were popular for being teachers and shoe makers, not kidnappers, rapists and armed robbers!

frankblinkz:
okay.


I don't know if it's safe dropping my number here

Yeah, not too advisable.

Davash222:
Hmmmm.

Obviously, your wife knows the game she's playing. Your wife wants you to fucck her sister . She prefers you fucck her sister than fuccking outside. It's up to you to decide if you want to be fuccking two sisters.

There are some temptations that are meant only for Jesus and Satan.

Chai bro, you are something else! You may be onto something...but dont blasphemy o

I ve just PM you. Check it.

frankblinkz:

Ngwamankillyou:
Must you respond? I've got your attention but you've nothing to offer.. Fly out man.

Guy, get help. Whether from man or God. Before its too late.

frankblinkz:
I don't support criminal activities... I'm just trying to put myself in their shoes...I have been looking for jobs for long now,so many things comes to mind... depressed right now.
you all keep talking like the jobs is there...
I have never supported criminal activities,and will never....have you ever asked urself while people choose to involve in crime..do ur research properly before you quote me

Putting yourself in whose shoes? Shoes of murderers and rapists? So its hunger that makes you people demand for ransome of 10 million naira ,rape and kill.
Is government your father?
Looking for job where? When you were born, did they name you job seeker? Cant you use your brain to create legitimate God sanctioned opportunities?
One guy had 20 million in 1990 and started a bank that is now worth 1 trillion (Zenith Bank) , another had 20 million same year and built a house.
One guy had 20k in 2000 and went clubbing over the weekend, another had 20k same year and started pure water business, today he owns businesses worth over 40 million naira.

Charly68:
Let's release opc after them and the tide will turn

Gani Adams spoke last week. Hes ready and willing; but he doesn't want a situation where if OPC start now, they will be arrested for murder by the Police when they start killing the marauders.
Of all the Governors he contacted since last year, only one directly got back to him. 3 did not even as much send a response through a messenger.

trapQ:
May you raped with a hot rod till you pass out. Fool.

Insulting a rape victim who in all ramifications is better than the best you and your worthless generations will ever be.

I know it can be tough, but most of these kind of people get turned on by the attention they get from responses. They have serious psychological issues and mistakenly think they can reach highs by getting attention, they keep posting unbelievable trash on SM; not understanding the gravity of their situation.
Ignore them as much as possible. They are bereft of any iota of sound reasoning or intellectual debate.

Ngwamankillyou:
Shut up there, I've the rod itself it's either I rape you to death or snuff you out with my rod... She goat.

Mr man, go and get help quickly. You are seeking for attention in the wrong place. You have serious psychological issues. Get help quickly.

lielbree:
This is what I'll never understand. What does this middle aged woman stand to gain by lying that she was rapped by an armed robbery?

That wisdom is beyond you. You are incapable of understanding

9jaRealist:
You mean like the almost 350 rotting and decomposed unburied bodies discovered at the Tri-State Crematory in Georgia a few years back?

The reality is that most poor folk in a place like the US and cremated and/or crammed into mass graves (in my original hometown of NYC, it’s out on the isolated island known as Potters’ Field). And of course a fair number of people donate their remains for medical research.

I think Africans often make too much of an emotional investment in so-called “ancestral land” (often forgetting that most humans only settled where they ended up after migrating from somewhere else), but that is frankly no different than the original owners of North America (the Native Americans) and several others do. Nonetheless, the emotional pull to return is family, extended family and community - not a piece of earth. Accordingly, as more people emigrate and congregate elsewhere, that pull will weaken but unlikely to ever completely go away.

Isnt a crematory a place to cremate (burn) bodies, a growing choice for many in the West?
If the bodies were discovered there, it means a crime had been committed (at least misdemeanor for improperly disposing of human remains plus some sort of felony fraud). The discovery would definitely lead to charges, thats the way things work in any advanced/ decent society.
While i am not aware of that incident, it probably is the basis for an episode of Law and Order that i watched.
My experience in the USA is respect for both the living and the dead. Have visited many states here over many years, never once saw a dead body lying on the street or a dis organized burial ground. EVERY burial ground i have seen and there have been many, have all wowed me like is this really a burial ground?
No where on Earth is perfect, but there is nothing like a society that purses order, decency and punishes crime.

My ancestors crypts? Just yesterday

Well done young man

Please this guy, why is he called Hazard?

This country is a joke

If the country is a joke, what are the citizens? Comedians?

Saltybear:
Everytime I think to myself I miss Nigeria

Then I see something like this and I go

Thank goodness I left that dump

Abeg no answer anybody o. Just stay where you are. Even if na Ghana sef, e better pass. To each his own. Ler them enjoy their next level, you enjoy your abroad.

luminouz:
That 'dump' is ur ancestral land...so u will die in a strange land bereft of ur ancestral kindred!!! Nothing and no one to mourn ur passing or point to ur grave...no historical significance of ur existence in ur homeland,a lost soul,a stranger,unwanted and alone!!!

Shame on u!!!

What about Abraham that left his ancestral home? Or the English folk that left for the Americas on the Mayflower? Forget all that rubbish about ancestral land bro. Have you even been to the average burial ground in Nigeria? You will weep for the desd. Come see burial ground for obodo oyinbo, even poor man grave, you go think say na emperor the man be when he dey live.
Na America i dey see electricity on top grave.
Tell me when last you visited the gravesite of ANY of your ancestors that have died?

So Nigeria has fully supported these people? Is Morocco happy about this? What about OAU?

Sundaypaul12345:
Wetin Konji day cause ehn. But since it is a hotel i guess there are sex workers there, he should have f**ked d prostitutes na. But e be like say e c somtin 4 d babe bodi wey Attract am shaa. Anyways i pray make God almighty punish him dick.

Ok, I am not a football fan, how can I become one?

Become a fanatic

t2luv1:
Roads in Nigeria are bad ok I admit. but when are the people going to start taking responsibility for some of the things that happen to the roads that the government has fixed. When you see an over weight Trailer on a road that wasn't built to handle the amount of load that trailer is hauling. In US those weigh stations on the interstate are there to make sure the weight limit on a particular highway are been observe

Just like the USA example you gave; there is a government department here in Nigeria filled with people earning salaries and bonuses whose job it is to ensure such doesn't happen. Where are they?

Okuda:
the problem is not fixing the place, that place can get worse in less than 1yr real quick if the animals using and thpse in charge of these facilities dont do the right thing.

Maintenance is key..i was suprised when i saw serious pot holes in the USA. Difference here is that they have a good maintenance culture and there is plan to fix such potholes almost immediately.

The usual tour and speeches that they all do when they are first appointed? Of what use is the touriing? Dont you have subordinates?
Why not in 3 months show us the changes you have made?
Oga, you have a limited tenure, of which you have already used 12 days!!!

That's the words you stingy souls use to pacify your guilt while forgetting you were also pushed by someone to get where you are.. I detest stingy souls.. They are not worthy of life
