He should be in Aso rock planning on how to get involved in foreign affairs outside Nigeria cause Nigeria have no connection or link outside its boundaries.[/color]

I so love this. Nigeian leaders think they ve found an enlightened solution to governance. They try to stay connected with the populace. . . by talking not working.

His mouth made those nice tots but his hands are about to blast 27billion in one day. No need to wait and see.

War ke? our guys up there have passion for nothing else but their personal benefits. They cant declare any war. Even if cameround just demo declare war on us, them fit go aplogise come even appease them with a gift of PH.

Let God help us make it never happen. Bakassi was painful enough.

^^ Amaks, we are too big for all this. however, Im not even trying to win u or anyone over, so you can carry go with ur opinion. I only want us all to see from all angles.

londoner:
I think people are forgetting the facts. If Ghana is trying help their own, how come it had no problem when Nigerian filmakers were at the forefront of encouraging their actors and talent? It is Nigerian film makers who gave their leading actors and actresses of today the leg up. Nollywood has done that, more than Ghanaian movie industry has.

They are not trying to help their own, they are simply trying to cash in on Nollywood. I dont blame them for that, but lets call a spade a spade.

When they get to encourage their talents (which they should have been doing anyway), are they not going to want Nigeria the nation of 140 million to support them by watching and buying their films?

They are not looking at the long term at all. Why alienate yourself from the biggest market for your products? Now that does not make business sense.

1. It is clear the two ppls are of different levels of intelect. Not all can make it thru the same route, so if ghana would have to parasite a bit, then no quams. Nothing do them.

2. Whats wrong with cashing in on, Na opportunity now. Wouldnt u take this opportunity if u were in their shoes. After all, we came in and took their positions and they simple tried to balance the equation.

2. Market and production are two different things. Y would a watching audience decide not to patronize them because of Ghollywood Nollywood issue? They have to produce their movies first, they have to sell their actors first. They need a chance to show the Ghana thing!

4. Except we give them a bad publicity in our market, they wont alienate themselves more than they already may be. I for one have only watched one ghanian movie, for 5 mins o . . . and it was the worst thing ever recoreed on tape. Also i think we are the ones not looking at the big picture. Our leaders have failed, we require ghana for the time being. We should be childish, deceiving ourselves. . . we should rub them a lil so we can get wat we want and get the hell outta there.

Iveanyi:
This just goes to show how myopic and petty some of us Nigerians can be. So what if Ghana taxes Nigerians? Their industry is still growing and they are not doing themselves any good. Our movie industry, compared to most others in West Africa has grown to such an extent that our pride should be that we have international talent coming to Nigeria to earn money and pay tax to the Nigerian Government Coffers. Let's keep our focus on the big picture. It'll bring the spotlight on us.

Why do you think the Indian industry is way way way behind the Americans' in terms of international relevance despite the magnitude of output? It's because everything is just so Indian. Is that the road we wanna go down? I don't think so.

Simple! Wat iv been saying since last month. Note, im open minded on this. Its either they are doing it sincerely to help their ppl or deliberately to get to us. Either way we have position inthe industry, we must understand it and live it.

CGking my dear do u really want to sound smart here, ok let me brake it down for u,nollywood was a product that turned into a phenomenon, a product has to sell itself in orther to be recognised thereby making it a phenomenon, our music industry did not just become a phenomenon that is now raking across africa, it was a product of individual effort from different artists in nigeria with the help of the media and most importantly of all the patronization of the nigerians that turned it into a phenomenon, the same goes to the nigerian movie industry nollywood. So ghana has to stop all these kity kat acts and face the competition, what they are doing shows that the are not strong enough to face the competition,nollywood did it, our music industry did it, so why can't they do it aswell without creating loop holes.

Bros, u are making a very big mistake to compete with ghana. Competition is horizontal, not vertical. Think the US will compete with us?

THE AMAKA:
@zebra, such a clown
HOW IS IMPOSTING A TAX ON NIGERIANS ENCOURAGING GROWTH TO THEIR OWN INDUSTRY?
IF ANYTHING THEY SHOULD BE THREATENING THEIR ACTORS (THAT KEEP RUNNING TO NIGERIA FOR FAME AND EXPOSURE) WITH A BAN FOR NOT STAYING PUT IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY TO ACT AND "DEVELOP" THEIR INDUSTRY!
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THEIR ACTORS RUNNING TO NOLLYWOOD FOR EXPOSURE, MONEY, FAME, BUT FOR NIGERIANS TO GO TO GHANA, ITS A PROBLEM? ABI?
HISSSS

This is why a Nigeian woman must never be president in in Naija. Im sure if u were president and we have weapons, you would have order a pre emptive strike becos of Ghoolywood and nollywood news. Ghanian actors need us, just as our actors need them. Tell urself the truth inspite of ur anger and disgust of them. Uv got to stop competing with ur juniors. na was o.

Meeeeen, i dont get it with u guys. Is ur hatred for Ghana that bad? Even after everything iv said, you guys just keep struggling with Ghana. Let me point it out again finally. First of all, I believe Ghana is trying to help its own actors, no doubt. Countries all over do this to check certain effects on their economy. I believe this informed their decision. We are better than their actors and thus a threat to their survival. If we came and stole the show from them by having most of their movie crew as nigerians, guy, ghollywood will surely end.

However my key point so far is, Ghollywood is not on our level, we are not competing. . . . or are not supposed to be competing with them. Nollywood's current response was retaliatory and thus childish. We are not competing with ghana and i also thought we should have been a little more diplomatic about it. After all, if we didnt need ghana then why the heaven did we go there? So because of vital interests, we should be smarter, instead sending off war signals. If the ghanians and ghollywood perceive this as a struggle - which i think they most definitely would - then our interests in ghana will begin to end. Along with that, u can bet they wont pay our levies, so what then was the gain at the end of the day? What i thought we should have done was to manage the situation with diplomacy and handle ghana as a child. If u like squeeze face, hate them, we went there cos of important interests.

naija-doll:
una sure say this Nigeria go better one day ? cos the way I dey see am other smaller African countries don dey make positive progress small small and go beta pass this Nigeria one day, anyway, dey look oh, one day Naija fit vacant as evryone go run dey go Uganda, Cameroon .as pple dey run go Ghana now,

Thing just tire person. Abi naija own politics na curse? Are these politicians blind or what? Na only them dey this world? Until them drive everybody commot now! A drowning man can clutch on a straw; pretty soon our folks will even be going to Afghanistan becos of the simple feeling of getting out.

Are u a freelancer or u run a company? If u are a freelancer who can work with MySQL, write PHP and AJAX, pls tell, ur support will be really needed.

tkb417:
The scenerio ure painting played itself out before the current boom in 9ja music scene. i can remember when i was leaving secondary school, we never heard or danced to local hip hop artists in parties, clubs and social gatherings and i cannot remember the regulators banning the sale of foreign music in order for our local musicians to thrive

what we have today is the reversal as our local musicians now enjoy more airplay compared to foreign music. Our clubs blast more local music cos the quality of what they churn out has gone up. Nobody banned nobody to encourage local artists

The Ghanaians should concentrate on developing their work and naturally, nollywood would fizzle out in their country

I think there is a slight difference in what iv said and what u are reffering to. I believe u r comparing products with a phenomenom. Nollywood is not a product, and even though its may be number 3 in the world, its still growing. Bringing in foreign actors will cripple her growth and also not benefit our economy so it wont be wrong for any authourity to recommend levies or even banning foregin participants.

This was the same sttuation inthe ghana must go thing. Remember? This was y we kicked ghana out. But now, they arent even banning our actors, they are trying to encourage their own ppl, to give them a chance to try. Ghana knows they follow us in the movie industry but i believe what they are saying is, we want to grow also. And some funny nigerian quickly retaliated, do me i do u. Its sickening.

I think we are the ones to go and develop our own country and fizzle out of ghanna, arent we embarrased going to ghana becos of power. Its like a rich home going to their less priviledge next door neighour to borrow candle.

No bad o, honestly. Just curious

whats ur key business for the site. Or what do u want it to be known for? To try to tomple facebook in nigeria by doing another facebook and certainly to even attempt to use "face". If u wanna compete with facebook u must come from another angle and use another key business and then we can get u a name. I am also doing a social site to tomple facebook and it will be out soon.

anyho, if u want, i can offer u a free domain name registeration with a hosting package that will blow ur mind. Unlimited emails, unlimited disk space, 100 percent uptime and too much more.

well, just dont know y this title makes me laugh. Maybe they shoulda stuck to the ususal UNSC seeks end to the middle east crisis. I keep imagining funny images.

^^ abi o, or you can try www.siddonlook.com.

Which is it and y? For me its www.simsng.com

Very simple with an inviting interface; no noise, very professional, no broken link. Although there isnt frequent activity but its sweet.

yeah, it beginning to look like that beaf id aint a joke anymore, its beginning to look like a curse. Beaf, are u yoruba? seriously?!

^^ Do we even have parole in this country? Hmmm, I know we have [size=5pt]g[/size]parolo!

Lol, u only read the title and didnt even read at least a little of the thread, u just wrote a whole psylosophy text book.

Ruq:
Word cgking! That's true Hollywood wouldn't have cared if we did it to them and Nollywood is like hollywood to ghana we should have you used tactics instead of imposing fines on them. Its pure poo

lol you are funny, . . . just to hear that makes u happy. Any theres no questions about it, They know it, we know it, but i dont just understand y we forget who we are and our position in the intl community. Same thing in govt etc. I mean, we should be locking horns with Bollywood, , just pisses me off!

You see why i say some of you folks just reach unintelligent conclusions.You type,then think later.
Firstly, Nigeria would not even do that.We know better than to pull a stunt like that.
Secondly,even if we attempted it,the US wld waste no time to put us in our place.The US is a major protagonist on the application of the principle of reciprocity.
Please do your research,ignorance is not bliss.

Yeah right! Think if African American actors and actresses flood the nigerian movie market, think we wouldnt do it? They d be frustrating our home actors and not giving them a chance. If you were a producer in naija, wouldnt u want a more talented US bred actor than ours at home? Sounds painful but be honest.

[color=deeppink]^^I don't think anyone used her.

I think she's just an old granny who wants to do things the youth way. [/color]

? What,

Mama gee, i cant contain my curiosity, no vex, but is that truly ur pix on ur profile?

My guy, its a win win situation, anyhow u look at it. If she s not caught, then she d get paid and enjoy. Or if shes caught, then shed be in a US prision, with a nice warm cosy bed and at least 2 square meals. What else again!

Fellow Nigerians, when are we going to stop falling for cheap publicity and noise making in this country? When??

When has it now become a crime worthy of sensationalism that you have found NFF's money in NFF's account? Was the money supposed to have been kept in NSC or EFCC's account?
Maybe what they are indirectly saying is they were surprised that NFF had money as the thought all the money had been stolen, so EFCC was shocked to still see that there was still money! Or what can I make of this?

Soon, it would be news that crude oil was found at Warri refinery!

My brother dont bother urself. many of our ppl too like bad news and when it comes, they go begin vex. No wonder these politicians are free to manifest all kinds of foolishness, cos they know Nigerias dont calm to consider thoughts.

Just tell them now say: Goodluck Jonathan came to power after the death of his boss, Yaradua. You go see how them go dey vex.

Its not too hard to know an unintelligent noise maker. They always attempt to intimidate with cheap insults For someone who s talking about research and facts, uv make a bold empty claim and didnt even care to drop a single fact.

Ruq:
Who da bleep is dat cgking?? Nollywood sufferin from wat? U must be a retard! Don't say poo here! Who started this poo first! Be careful ooh! Don't let me burst

Serious! Its a very low move that belittles Africa's biggest Movie movement.How can we be wrestling with an organisation that's picking after us. Think if we impsed a levy on say american actors in Naija, think Hollywood will respond in kind? I mean, no diplomacy, no thought, they just sharp sharp "do me i do you."

Na small boy dey worry dem.

My Nigerian brethen, I think this Ghana vs Nigeria comparisons has gotten out of hand. It does nothing but make the Ghanaians ecstatic, it is like an opium for many Ghanaian. Several months ago, I was walking in downtown Calgary (Canada) with a Caucasian friend. As we were walking by a Bus stop, we bumped into a Ghanaian man who happened to be her acquaintance. She went ahead to introduce us, but before we could finish exchanging compliments , and as soon as I told him I was Nigerian, he quickly interrupted, asking me whether I was aware that his country too now has oil in commercial quantities. My friend and I were speechless for a moment - thinking how on earth could a mature adult be so childish and silly - I calmly wished him good luck , and quickly changed the subject before he embarrasses himself any further.

Ghanaians often have low self-esteem and seek for attention whenever they find themselves in the midst of Nigerians, and whenever matters concerning Nigeria is being discussed. However, I don't blame them, because when a dwarf finds him/herself in the midst of a giant, its very hard not to feel insecure.

My brethen, comparing Ghana to Lagos state, I think is more than just enough. Anything further than that is a consolation for many Ghanaians and an insult to your country men/women.

No one but we brought ourselves into this situations. If we did our homework right. Just becos of something as simple as electricity now here we are wrestling giddygbo with Ghana and some here are still belittliing Naija while confusing that for supporting their country.

Amaka and her ppl should grow up. Nollywood is suffering from identity crisis.
