FXKing2012: We all thank God for this oooo, now they have to pay the MOG for trying to tarnish his good image. This is character assassination attempt. This is why I always warn people not to attack or criticize MOG, they are under immense anointing.

VillageBoi: Hi Prince. Thanks for your response. Personally I can't think of a single 'obvious' reason you'd want to keep your company identity private until you get what you want.
Being based in the UK or USA has absolutely no impact on me nor should it. The simple fact is if you 'are' a company... who are you? It's not a huge thing to ask. I could be wrong but I think you and the Missus live in Scotland? If so you probably have bumped into a Nigerian somewhere, asked "What part of Nigeria are you from?" and you get the swaying side to side, the giggly look-down-to-the-ground response "No broda, I no fit tell you is a secrit." - And you go "Duh?"

There are a million and one threads here on Nairaland that are along similar lines to yours. Do I write? Yes. Do I consider myself to be a writer? Not really. Can I write if I have to? Yes. As you have checked and as anyone can click on my name, go to my profile and have a look at my work via provided links, as well as, threads posted here, you'll probably find out that I am very much interested in film and filmmaking.

What I'm actually more interested in is "What can we, collectively, do to improve Nigerian filmmaking?" That really was my main reason for joining this site a few months ago. To put it simply, the fact is, actions speak louder than words. Having said that, I think you are also Nigerian that has an interest in filmmaking, are probably starting up a company - production or otherwise, want to make better films than the 'general' stuff 'Nollywood' makes because the 'audience' deserves to have at least 50% of what's being made to be good.
That's going to be hard because, in general, we Nigerians can't write good scripts. I have read practically every 'sample' posted on this site and to be frank; they all suck. So where are we going wrong? Tough question. I guess we're mainly 'assuming' having an 'idea' means we can 'write the script'. I can buy a knife in a shop; that doesn't make me a Surgeon. Most of us just don't go to learn the craft and don't realise that good writing comes from re-writing.

I'll stop rambling on and for the fun of it I might just send you an email at some point; not to do with scripts but in order to have a conversation to find out a bit more about you. Who knows? You could be very interesting to have a conversation with and then again you might not. Likewise you could find me to be an utter bore... but I doubt it

Fear not, fret not my initial post was not for my benefit but for people that naturally should want to check out any credentials before sending any of their work/s off to what is presently just an email address.

gttdsuccess: VillageBoi, for obvious reasons and confidentiality, I wish to keep our identity private till we get what we want. Please try to understand. However, for your peace of mind, we are based in the UK and USA. We are backed by a firm of solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England & Wales. Any material you send to us is treated as copyrighted by your goodself. Once your script is accepted, you will be contacted directly and contracts will be signed. Our aim is to introduce completely new and innovative movies whereby all contributors make money satisfactorily. All new movies will be deemed to be educative, entertaining and embrace most AFRICAN culture. So far since this advert went on air, we have received 23 scripts which are being scrutinized and checked. I hope your question has been answered your query and look forward to hearing from you. Having checked your identity on Nairaland, I feel very strongly that you can make positive contributions to our project and if you wish to speak directly to myself and/or any of our colleagues, please send your contact numbers to gttdsuccess@mail.com.All the best. Prince
