TV/Movies / Meet Miracle Nduka A Nairaland Director Who Took Nollywood By Storm by Dyoungstar: 11:49pm On Mar 05, 2022
Acting was the pathway to finding my calling as a film director ---Miracle Nduka

Popular film maker, Miracle Nduka who made his directorial debut with the 2014 movie, "Walk to Redemption" has described his journey into Nollywood as adventurous, fulfilling and one that is devoid of bad memories

Nduka started out as an actor before he later veered into directing films after realizing his strength lies in the craft.

Known for blockbuster movies like “Dinta (Hunter),” “Change”, "The Painter", “Christabel,” “3 Idiots”, “The contract” and “Lost in Love”, Nduka is not just a successful director and producer, but also, a cinematographer and editor par excellence.

The film director said his dream while growing up was to stand in front of the camera, but with the passage of time, he realized he has a stronger passion for directing films.

“I started from amateur script writing on nairaland literature section to acting. I imagined myself adorning the big screens, be in the forefront of things, but as time evolved, I began understanding myself better. I began to get in touch with my real self, then I understood that there's this passion in me that wants to see a project come to life, a part of me that wants to see that a script is transformed from mere words to reality, becoming something that people can relate with.”

“I actually flipped from acting to directing when I took up the role of directing my first film "Walk to Redemption" which was shot in Kaduna in 2014. That film was an eye opener for me, it was really challenging. Following the result of that project, I got to understand that acting was not really where my passion lies but a pathway to finding my calling. Acting became a hobby which gave me excitement but deep down I wanted more,” Nduka narrated.

Asked if he's fulfilled working behind the camera, Nduka responded in the affirmative, adding “Every stage in life comes with its challenges, particularly being a film director in this space called Nigeria.”

Continuing, he added: “My experience working behind the camera is actually the fun of being able to commit my creative ideas into technical abilities and see that those technical abilities are put in play in such a way that I am able to bring a story to life.”

Nduka said he started his career from directing stage plays in churches and theatres back then in Niger State, then moved to Kaduna and later Abuja, where the drama group which he then founded was usually invited to perform at church programmes. He later delved into directing films, leading the production of his first feature film in 2014. Since then Nduka has not looked back in his quest to stand out in his profession. He is currently working on series of interesting films slated to be released this year.

Nduka is best known for directing "Change", a jungle justice/social justice short film that went viral globally in 2017. He also produced and directed 'Dinta (Hunter)', a 2019 short film which featured on Amazon Prime video. The film was nominated in the Short Film category at the 10th edition of the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) and made it through to the quarter finals.

Nduka has also displayed his directorial expertise in the music industry where he has shot series of international standard music videos which has shown on TVs across Africa and the globe at large.

Founder and creative director of YET Films Productions, Nduka is also a team member of Krystal Filmworks, a film production company based in Lagos, where he was part of some hit productions like "Dark Spotlight", "Joca", "A place called forward" among others. He has worked with some Nollywood top actors and filmmakers. Some of his projects are on Iroko TV, Africa Magic, Amazon Prime Video and others coming on Netflix this year.

For bulk purchase alibaba is probably a better option. And you can use shippers like chrisvicmall.com to get it down here in 2-4 weeks max.
With the Chinese holiday ongoing, now might not be the best time though.

Please I want to learn how I can order varieties of products from different sellers on aliexpress and have them all shipped at once.

Do you mind if we talk outside of this forum?

MrMcJay:
There was someone one time who got a new employment through a recruitment agency and needed a lawyer as Guarantor. His mom is a neighbour to my mom and so, I obliged him.
Subsequently, he was employed.
A few years later I got a call from his workplace that he had absconded and he was paid his salary a month after he resigned. I told them to deduct it from the salary of the accounting officer who paid him but they said I had to either produce him or pay it on his behalf. When I called him, he told me that there were several deductions from his salary and they couldn't justify it. He also said they were deducting tax and pension but they were not remitting pension to his PFA.

Next thing, the company called the Police and those ones invited me to the station. I went there and they asked me to write a statement. I wrote that I stood as a Guarantor for someone who was employed and unfortunately had resigned. I wrote that he resigned because they were deducting tax and pension and they were not remitting. I further added that the action to pay the ex-employee after resignation was designed by the Hr and Company accounts department to defraud the company. Thereafter, I left the station.

That evening, the people who reported to the station called and started begging. I just ignored them and told them to provide proof that they remitted deducted tax and pension to the tax guys and the PFA.

2 days later, I wrote a petition and sent a copy to the company, pointedly accusing the MD of fraud by not remitting deducted funds. The MD called me and was crying. She offered to come to my office to apologise properly. I told her not to worry but to send me what I requested for.

We are still on the matter and I will make sure they are made scapegoats for others to learn from.

You make so much noise for so little.

Lagos this, Lagos that. Do you have anything of tangible/reasonable effect you can proud yourself on as a noisemaker Lagosian? Instead of you to learn and earn you are parading the entire nairaland spewing trash with 20k second hand android phone.

Have you gone to those places mentioned? The people there are mostly Hausa people if not all of them.
I don't think you know anything about the area, you might just be one olodo sitting in a pako house in Makoko who finds pleasure in trolling online.

Politics / Re: Identities Of Abducted 300 Civilians Of Eastern Nigeria By Security Forces by Dyoungstar: 6:27pm On Jul 15, 2021
Following indiscriminate false labeling, hateful policing and soldiering and lack of modern policing skills, civilian citizens in Eastern Nigeria, in their thousands, have been indiscriminately false-labeled and subjected to ‘prosecutorial vindictiveness’. In other words, they are frivolously suspected and falsely labeled; indiscriminately and wickedly arrested and thrown into detention after being slammed with phantom accusations bordering on offenses attracting capital punishments or several years’ imprisonments.

To actualize their quest for ‘prosecutorial vindictiveness’, arrested and detained civilian citizens are arraigned in inferior courts with intent to secure the nods of such ‘courts’ to dump them in indefinite detention. These they do recklessly even it is in black and white that such ‘courts’ lack jurisdiction to entertain the phantom felonious charges.

The Nigeria Police, DSS and the Military also make reckless use of ‘remand orders’ without time limitations and use same to detain and keep civilian citizens in permanent detention.

In many cases in Eastern Nigeria, the Nigerian Military and DSS abduct and detain civilian citizens in hundreds for several months without recourse to orders from courts of superior records such as State or Federal High Courts.

Totality of the above is a clear and grave violation of the Access to Criminal Justice Act of 2015 and Sections 35 (right to personal liberty and its subsection 4: three months maximum detention timeframe in matters bordering on suspicion of capital offenses and right to conclusive investigation and indictment or discharge and acquittal), 36 (right to Court trial and its subsections 4 and 5: rights to fair hearing and presumption of innocence until judicially convicted) of the 1999 Constitution.

Further provided clearly and unambiguously in the Laws of Nigeria are the fact that civilian citizens arrested and taken into detention must be accorded their rights to be investigated and tried, if indicted, in Court, but in practice in present Eastern Nigeria, these have been observed in gross breach by the country’s security forces to the extent that arrested civilian citizens are being kept in detention for several months, if not years without trial or ‘arraigned’ in inferior courts and dumped to rot in detention or ‘awaiting trials’

106 innocent civilians decongested at Owerri State CID & dumped to rot in detention at Imo prisons

The innocent and defenseless citizens including several young women and under age youths, numbering 106 were massively abducted by Police in different parts of Owerri between second and third week of May 2021 and hurriedly “arraigned” using a “special mobile court” organized at the premises of the Owerri State CID and “remanded” at Owerri State Prisons (Correctional Center) on 21st May 2021.

They were slammed with phantom charges of “treason”, “treasonable felony”, “arson” and so on. Their “arraignment and remand” was very controversial and generated uproars and outcries which forced the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, His Lordship, Archbishop Anthony Obinna, to visit them at Owerri Prisons on 26th May 2021.

Calls: The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law is hereby calling for unconditional release of all the Eastern Christian citizens named above as well as the remaining 2,700 others wherever they are being held across the country. To the extent that they have been held far beyond the constitutionally limited timeframes of lawful detention clearly set out in Section 35 (4) of the 1999 Constitution, irrespective of the offense gravity, their continuing detention in the Nigerian Government secret and open detention facilities is totally unknown to the Constitution and other laws of the country including the acceded treaty laws.

The Nigerian Army is inexcusably called upon to immediately and unconditionally free the 108 surviving innocent and defenseless Obigbo residents abducted and secretly held since Oct/November 2020 at the Army’s Alpha Military Commando Base in Bida, Niger State where four of the 112 died recently possibly from custodial torture or shooting or starvation or lack of proper medical attentions.

The authorities of the Nigerian Army must also account for their dead bodies and is forbidden from “transferring” or “handing over” the remaining 108 to Police or DSS so as to escape culpability.

The abductees having been secretly held for almost nine months without trial are no longer ‘triable’ in any Court in Nigeria and must therefore be released unconditionally, properly catered for apologized to and adequately compensated.

Politics / Identities Of Abducted 300 Civilians Of Eastern Nigeria By Security Forces by Dyoungstar: 6:27pm On Jul 15, 2021
SPECIAL REPORT: Identities of abducted 300 civilians of Eastern Nigeria by security forces – four out of 112 abducted in Obigbo dies – says Intersociety




The combined forces of Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police Force, joined by DSS, Naval and Air Force personnel have in the past eight months – November 2020 to June 2021, abducted and detained no fewer than 3000 unarmed and defenseless civilians (all Christians) in Eastern Nigerian States of Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo and Rivers.

The abductees include 112 mostly Igbo civilian citizens residing in Obigbo, Rivers State, abducted and secretly disappeared by the Nigerian Army since October/November 2020 and later found to be held in Niger State.

‘Abduction’ is technically used in the instant case because their families and lawyers have till date been denied knowledge of their whereabouts and blocked from visiting and seeing them in custody or having them charged to court and given fair trial and fair hearing.

The 112 mostly Igbo civilian citizens of Obigbo residency have for almost nine months remained in the Nigerian Army’s Alpha Military Commando Base located along Bida-Suleja Road, Bida in Niger State in Northeast Nigeria.

They have also been held secretly without administrative or court bail. The most shocking part of it is that four of them (Ekwueme Thomas, Pius Onochie, Obinna Akapuru and Monday Ifeanyi) have died in custody and whereabouts of their bodies are not known to the public or their families.

The remaining 108 still secretly being held are part of no fewer than 550 civilians abducted by soldiers and secretly bundled to Niger State and other parts of the North between October and November 2020.

Their abduction followed the Army’s invasion of Obigbo in October 2020 during which not less than 110 defenseless civilians were massacred, hundreds injured, dozens of young women raped severely and severally and civilian properties worth hundreds of millions of naira set ablaze or destroyed by the rampaging soldiers.

Following the discovery of some secret locations where the abductees were taken to and held, in addition to public and media outcries and efforts of Barr Richard Okoroafor, Intersociety and leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra and others, 283 were judicially rescued and over 270 have remained in secret custody of the Nigerian Army and among them are the 112 abductees who were discovered in February 2021 in Niger State and another 26 secretly transferred by soldiers to DSS detention facilities in Abuja.

It must also be remembered that it was in the course of locating the whereabouts of the 112 Obigbo civilian abductees that Barr Richard Okoroafor, an International Human Rights Lawyer, narrowly escaped being assassinated on 25th February 2021 by killer operatives suspected to be working for the Government of Nigeria along the Suleja-Abuja Highway.

The Lawyer’s mother was also on 19th May 2021 assassinated by suspected Government hired gunmen at the entrance of her residence in Ekiti State, Southwest Nigeria.

Similar conduct atrocities by the Army, Police and others have been extended to the named nine Eastern States since January 2021. This followed targeted killing of some security personnel and destruction of Government facilities by “Unknown Gunmen” which the Nigerian Government accused the Eastern Security Network, a forest based anti Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen’s terror Vigilante Group, belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra of being responsible; an accusation the group strongly denied.

Intersociety had apart from investigating the Obigbo Army massacre, also conducted investigations into the atrocities by the Nigerian Government joint security forces in Eastern Nigeria and found as at date that “the security forces led by the Army and the Police had between January and June 2021 killed at least 370 mostly innocent and defenseless citizens or 480 of them if counted from Oct/November 2020, injured hundreds, abducted and detained no fewer than 3000, disappeared 762 (presumed killed in secret military, police and DSS custodies) and burnt or destroyed civilian properties worth hundreds of millions of naira”.

Among the 3000 abducted and incarcerated civilians of Eastern Christian Nigerian citizens are over 300, located recently in Benue State where they were secretly transported by Army and Police and held in different secret and open detention facilities.

The Intersociety findings above are contained in the reports of 31st May (updated on 14th June) and 17th June 2021.

On 20th June 2021, we released an investigative statement identifying names of the senior Army officers in Eastern Nigeria involved in the ongoing killings, maiming, abductions and disappearances.

Missing in the list of the perpetrators is Col Abubakar Abdullahi, Deputy Army Public Relations Officer of the 82 Division, Enugu.

On 29th June 2021, another investigative statement was released exposing the involvement of the Nigeria Police’s Force Intelligence Bureau led by DIG Tijani Baba in the attempted assassination of the IPOB Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor which took place on 6th June 2021.

It must also be noted that in the killings, abductions and disappearances above highlighted, Imo and Abia States are the worst hit, accounting for many of the state actors’ conduct atrocities. Till date, none of the perpetrators has been fished out by Nigerian Government or Court and held accountable. See www.intersociety-ng.org for more details.

Constitutional safeguards grossly in breach

Rules of Engagement and constitutional safeguards have been breached with reckless abandon by the Nigerian security forces in Eastern Nigeria.

Our several investigative findings specifically showed that soldiers of the Nigerian Army and other branches of the Armed Forces are the worst violators when it comes to abduction of civilian citizens and their incarceration or disappearance in custody.

Despite the fact that the laws of Nigeria and several judicial pronouncements have ostracized the Military from constant arrest of civilians and their indefinite detention without trial and torturing and killing them in custody; the Nigerian Military has arrogantly remained above the law.

This is to the extent that details regarding civilians abducted by them and access to them by their families and lawyers while in military custodies are hardly made public or communicated to their families and lawyers.

Despite the fact that the Military lacks power and skills to detain, investigate and prosecute civilian citizens especially those abducted in peacetime security operations, they have resorted to holding their abductees indefinitely in their secret custodies leading to indiscriminate torture, sexual abuses and death of many in custody. The Obigbo Army massacre, abductions and sexual violence are a clear case in point.

It is also our investigative finding that right to personal liberty including right to administrative or Court bail and its principles of fairness in the arrest, detention, investigation and prosecution or discharge and acquittal of civilian citizens under suspicion of offending the law as contained in the Chapter Four of the 1999 Constitution, the Access to Criminal Justice Act of 2015 and the country’s acceded rights treaty laws have been observed in gross breach by the Nigeria Police Force, Army and other security agencies in Eastern Nigeria.

THE JOURNEY TO A THOUSAND FLASH

Flash 27: The Full Moon

For Akintayo Akinjide (Divepen)

I lived in a small village in the south-western part of the country. After careful thoughts, I have chosen to keep my name and that of my village to myself. The singular reason for jumping on this wagon of personal discretion is simply because the village is now nonexistent, yet it exists; I am dead, yet I still live.

The absurdity and horror began after the New Yam festival. There were about a thousand of us in the village, but one by one we all fell when it appeared - it was the full moon.

The first set of people who saw it were initially fascinated by its beauty. The full moon had always come out in its time for hundreds of years in the village, but there was something incredibly unique about this particular one. Besides the fact that it seemed about close enough to be touched, it was a ball of horror that, at first, shimmered through cumulus blue clouds scattered like popsicles across the blanketing spectral yonder, then finally luminous against our tormented little village. It is quite remarkable how nature of such magnificence could arouse such terror.

Those who saw it and marvelled at its beauty were deep-sixed into a brief phase of hypnosis before they started to go mad one after the other. Obviously, the moon had something to do with their insanity; its sight messed with their heads - their sense of reason, their rationality.

The first incident of the horror was that of the oldest man in the village who easily lifted a grinding stone too heavy for even young able-bodied men of the village to carry. The source of the old man's incredible power must have been the moon - that was the only credible explanation for the sheer stupefaction. The old man, who had seen four score and ten rainy seasons, lifted the stone high above his own head and then released his grip on it. We watched in horror as the huge rock crashed into the man's skull and shattered it against the hard ground. He died instantly, bits of his manipulated brain could be seen as it popped from the head already knocked horribly askew.

It turned out that only a handful of us felt revulsion at the suicide we just witnessed - only a handful of those with their rationality still intact, those of us who were yet to look up at the sky and admire the beauty of the full moon. Those who had seen the moon showed no emotion whatsoever; instead, they went ahead to end their own lives in their own singular unique manners. A teenage boy produced a knife from the kitchen and drove it through his own throat in one swift motion. The knife was driven so deep that it's pointed end came out the back of his neck.

It seemed like they were all under a trance. They didn't kill themselves simultaneously, they rather did it in turns. One would wait for the other to die before going ahead to take their own life. A hunter had put the barrel of his shotgun between his mouth and pulled the trigger. A palm-wine tapper had seppukued himself with his own dagger. His bowels had flooded out of his stomach into his hands as he cut himself almost in half. Mysteriously, none of them cried out as they took their own lives. One even doused himself in paraffin oil and set himself ablaze - there was no cry of agony. A fisherman trying his luck at late night fishery heard the cawing of a crow and had looked up to the sky by reflex. He jumped from his canoe into the body of dark water, drowning himself.

There was a pattern to this visceral of horror. Besides the fact that these felos-de-se took turns in killing themselves, they posed no danger to other people. None of them attacked any one of us; even when some of us who hadn't gone mad attempted to stop some of them from committing suicide, they didn't attack us, they instead shook us off with unbelievable strength - both old and young alike. We couldn't stop them from carrying out the acts. In the end, we could do nothing but watch the horror. The gods had cursed us, and so they sent the evil moon to damn us one after the other. None of our traditional priests could ascertain the cause of this madness, this terror - we were on our own. If you wanted to stay alive, you must not look at the moon. But even with this realisation, some of us were not so lucky. A pregnant woman saw the reflection of the moon from the water she had fetched in a bowl and she joined the queue of the suicides. When it was her turn, she climbed a high hill and threw herself off of it.

All night long, we watched as people killed themselves in their own unique ways. They were our children, parents, siblings, friends, neighbours, acquaintances - we watched them go and we couldn't do anything to stop them. Even when dawn finally approached, those who had seen the moon continued to kill themselves. We prayed that such evil moon never revealed itself again, but it did. The following night, it appeared again, and, of course, the ignorant fell victim. Some fell by sheer accident. Every night, the moon appeared. It was clear that it wouldn't stop until every living soul of my village was claimed by the evil surrounding the moon.

By the end of the first week, my village became a necropolis. The rest of us, a few dozens of us, couldn't bury enough corpses. We were soon running out of graves to dig, or the will to dig them. Eventually, having lost all hopes of salvation, we let the corpses rot in the streets, in every dark alley, every canal, gutter, swamp - vultures had every day feast, termites rejoiced, earthworms slithered in jubilation.

In the second week, we were less than a dozen. At this point, some of us didn't have to stare at the moon before losing their senses. Trying to escape was fruitless; wherever you went, the moon would follow you; and in some cases, you didn't even have to look in the sky before seeing the moon. One of us had seen it in the dead eyes of a corpse - he ended up becoming a corpse too. There was a no succour anywhere - annihilation was our fate.

A man about my age had had enough. Situation had gone beyond redemption. He took a rope one morning and went to the back of his house. He was later found dangling lifelessly from the branch of the mango tree he hanged himself. The incredible thing about his death was that he wasn't a victim of the moon per se. He just had had enough and chose to take his own life. I had seen him take the rope, I knew that he was going to hang himself, but I didn't stop him - that was because I thought he had seen the moon too. How could I have known that his suicide was a result of frustration? That, indeed, is the absurdity of suicide. People who kill themselves have a personal adjudgement that life is not worth living - it is now therefore a topic of great argument to determine whether to praise them for their courage, or condemn them for their cowardice. I'll leave the judgement to your personal philosophy. Now if I was surmoned to the desk of adjudication, I wouldn't strike my gavel in indignation. It's a conundrum of logic, really, but I believe it is better to go down with all your senses still intact, just like my little friend did with his rope. However, if permitted to advocate for Lucifer, I'd surmise that taking your own life under the evil influence of the moon was easier. At this point, you wouldn't feel any pain - you were basically already dead before killing yourself. So, arguably, it is easier than the terrible agony you would feel as you watched your life slip away from you.

In the fourth week, I was the only living person left. This was a battle I wasn't going to win, I knew it. I had come so far all for nothing. It seemed like I was the only survivor in an apocalyptic world. I couldn't go on this way, I would run mad. I knew that at this point I had only two choices; I must either submit to the power of the evil moon or just take my own life like my friend did. No matter how many times I calculated the odds, no matter the formula I used, no matter the evaluation, the method - the answer was always 0. Either way, I was going to die. No matter how long I tried to stay alive, I wasn't going to win this one. I must make a choice now. Solitude was already messing with my psyche. I might be many things but I know that I'm not a hypocrite. I know who I am - a coward, a cow-freaking-ard! I couldn't take my own life like my friend did, even though that was what I wanted, I just couldn't bear going through that kind of agony. Yet, I didn't want the evil moon to claim my soul. If I gave in to evil, my soul would be forever damned, just like a thousand of the other people from my village. But by taking my own life on my own terms, my soul would be free. This was a philosophy I must allow myself to believe in - that's the only thing left that's giving me a semblance of rationality. My belief, on this note, is symbolically stuck between that of an atheist and a fanatic. With much thoughts and rigmarole of the mind, I settled upon the coward's way. I damned my soul.

When the moon appeared again that night, I stood in the village square, spread my hands and looked into the sky, welcoming the madness.

For the briefest moment, it seemed like I had stopped existing. I could feel it from the depth of my soul. Something in me was gone. I can't say it because I don't know, but I felt it. Perhaps it's a part of my soul. And then again, I felt something new. I can't say it because I don't know, but I felt it. It was as if something had been taken away and had been replaced by another.

Now here is the shock; that not unlike a rookie chess player experiencing en passant for the first time. I still haven't recovered. I had been taken to the moment when the moon first appeared. This time around, nobody was killing themselves. Everyone who had died was here, except my friend who took his own life. It was as if he never existed. When I asked about him, no one confessed to ever seeing him. Life continued as if nothing had happened. I was the only person in possession of the knowledge.

If my friend wasn't here, then where was he? Heaven or hell? And the more pertinent question: Where was I now? Was this the damnation I feared, or was this a sick idea of paradise?

Whatever it is, I know that in a certain place in the south western part of this country, there's a village filled with dead people - a place where I was the last to die. How I died, however, would remain a mystery forever unsolved.
