Wouldn't be as easy as you think...... especially for people who have built their base of WhatsApp....moving their entire base out wouldn't be that easy and it would be risky as well.

AlphaTaikun:
Your claim in the FIRST two paragraphs is totally FALSE. I personally witnessed the cinema-going celluloid film industry of the 1960s to the 1980s and the home video industry of 1988 with the FIRST EVER Yoruba home video subtitled in English produced and screened at the National Theatre. Prince Alade Aromire produced his own home videos and Prince 'Jide Kosoko also produced home videos long before 1993 when the FIRST EVER Ibo home video subtitled in English came into existence via Kenneth Nnebue. Kenneth Nnebue himself granted a newspaper interview in 1998 to "ThisDay" newspaper [long before the American journalist irresponsible coined the condescending term "Nollywood" in 2003] confessed that the Yorubas started the home video industry in Nigeria in the 1980s and he worked and understudied the Yorubas. He even listed several home videos made in the Yoruba home video sector of the Nigerian movie industry. I personally have a copy of that ThisDay newspaper interview in my archives and Kenneth Nnebue himself ALSO confessed that he wanted to produce his film in Yoruba language and subtitled in English but he decided to take a gamble and do it in Ibo language in 1992/1993 and it became a hit due to the FACT that Ibos were desperate for their own language in the home video industry as well after seeing what Yorubas were doing with home videos with Lagos State as the major home video film hub. The buzz created made the film popular being the first Ibo film on home video. Even the FIRST EVER Ibo language celluloid film entitled "AMADI" which was screened in Lagos State was produced in 1975 by the veteran movie maker, Dr. Ola Balogun who was born in Aba (now in Abia State) to Yoruba parents with his father being a lawyer. Dr. Ola Balogun spoke Ibo as his first language as a child hence his interest in doing a celluloid film in that language.

That condescending title called "Nollywood" which infers that the Nigerian movie industry is a "Hollywood wannabe" was ONLY invented or coined by an American journalist in 2003 long after the Nigerian movie industry had been in existence in celluloid cinema format and video formats. This is why the Indians HATE being called "Bollywood" and have expunged it. It's ONLY uninformed Nigerians with self-esteem issues in the media and elsewhere who continue to use that irresponsible terminology fabricated by an American journalist in a mere 2003. The Nigerian movie industry is simply what I use to describe the movie industry just like India uses the Indian movie industry.

The Indian movie industry currently operates based on a multiplex cinema format in major Indian cities just like the United States and NOT based on home video formats hence curbing piracy of videos and loss of income.

It's very important to ALWAYS keep historical records of events and unknown to some young people and older folks from the East like Francis Duru, the Yoruba folks [who pioneered the celluloid film industry with Professor Wole Soyinka's adaptation of "Kongi's Harvest" as a movie and FIRST screened in Lagos State in 1969, and "Soso Ekun" the FIRST Yoruba home video subtitled in English language in 1988], have their histories well documented. The rise of the Internet and social media is what led to the spread of disinformation by young Ibos online and even some Yorubas and non-Yorubas who do NOT read history and pushed the highly misleading information that the home videos started in 1992 by Kenneth Nnebue meanwhile it started in 1988 with the Yoruba home video "Soso Ekun." Kenneth Nnebue himself NEVER claimed in that ThisDay newspaper interview that he started home videos in Nigeria.

Last but NOT least, in order to put history into proper perspective, [I would like to release to the media and reputable museums such as the Onikan, Lagos-based "Yoruba Cultural Center and the "Wole Soyinka National Theatre and Cultural Center for Arts" in Iganmu, Lagos"] the scanned copies of that 1998 ThisDay newspaper interview where Kenneth Nnebue personally affirmed that the Yoruba sector of the Nigerian movie industry started the home video industry 4 years before he did his own home video in 1992/1993 and he gave credit to the Yoruba and Indian movie industries for inspiring him. However, the FIRST EVER "music home video" was produced in the early 1980s in Lagos State for the iconic pop star, Chris Okotie, who is now a pastor.


I hope that helps.

Abia state has imposed an advertisement levy of #200million on all Presidential candidates before they are allowed to place outdoor billboards and posters across the state.

Has Giringori complied with Lagos state Advertisement board by paying the appropriate levy or is he going to apply the "no shishi" rule with Lagos state?

Tell your Giringori and his cultist party campaign to go and pay the levied advertisement fee for all Presidential candidates and parties

MrPADDY:
OPay has saved my lives and small business from total collapse. Fintech bank like OPay, Moniepoint, Palmpay deserve special recognition. The competition from these fintech has even made the traditional banks like Access bank to sit up.
