andyanders: Be careful the way you advertise your wife's pregnancy through this medium in such state she is now. We pray God see you through and too, watch how you go about it because you do not know who and who that reads all the mails we posted here. I pray evil ones here will be blinded until your wife put to bed.

awodman: Lol..see this dude problem..Guy you get security contracting firm?

saintandsinnerz: Some Nigerians with their dubious minds, so because the ops asked that interested learners should provide a car, hence he should be suspected eh? FYI somebody can have access to a car but doesn't know how to drive and may not have money to pay for driving school. So the ops offer should be grabbed immediately for those who meet the criteria.

Mr Knowitall: Linda.Ikeja can give out all the money she wants because she practically has not overhead. Her site is hosted by google.

which means she does not have to pay for hosting, maintenance, and domain name. Moreover, she does not have to hire

a team of web developers to upgrade her site. Seun has overheads: employees, server maintenance, 99.9 percent up time,

and many other things. A good business man would not just dash out money anyhow. If seun decides to give 10 people money today

100 people will be upset that he didnt choose them.

vickyO: Your post notifies anger.
You are quite correct but I don't think that's what the OP is talking about.
Our foreign counter parts are able to make the movies look real even if not perfectly but to a large extent.
But here in Nigeria, they barley appear real talk more of being close to perfect.
[b]The only movie I can single out in Nigeria, that was beautifully done is MR and MRS. [/b]Ije is not too good.
Nollywood needs to work on their scripts and performance cause majority of them make junks.
Let's be truthful.

How can you compare Hollywood to Nollywood?
Come on. The diff is clear.

speedyboi: Hypocrisy!
Shallow thinking!
and more full this thread!

Of all things to criticize in the industry, this is what you think is important?

If you want to start criticizing delusional movies (leaving behind the fact that movies are not documentaries and not necessarily meant to be 'the real situation'), Hollywood movies and all other woods will come before Nollywood!

what will you say about;
A. -A single criminal defeating a battalion of well trained soldiers like say na ice-cream dem dey drink for army their whole life. Is that the situation in real life?
-In a movie like Olympus has fallen for instance; first part of the attack in white house, the Police or whoever were practically coming out of the building to be killed. I'm sure 'the grrreaat' american police force wouldn't be so dumb in real life, would they? ,
-Or in all action movies where lots of people could've taken the criminal at once, but they always prefer to go one by one... to be killed ofcourse - How realistic is that?

B. -And that sh/itty british movie titled slum dog millionaire where people in the slums can speak proper english. Is that the real situation in India?
-OR another unrealistic part: the real slum little boys they used in the beginning spoke Hindi; then the India little actors (who were obviously from middle/high class family in real life) they used when the boys grew up (like 11years kinda) suddenly started to speak proper English without attending school! How real is that anywhere in the world?
-OR the who wants to be a millionaire questions that were turning out as 'fate' BS. - please save me! And the cheap questions that were being asked sef: Infact, who wants to be a millionaire in Nigeria have asked the name of 3 musketeers as a first question before, but lo and behold, that was the ultimate question in the who wants to be a millionaire in our 'slumdog'. mtcheeeew...what A load of crap!

C. Or about anywhere apart from US, UK, Australia and likes being depicted as the worst place on earth in hollywood movies. No? Lemme tell you what a typical shallow minded person thinks about these countries due to 'HOLLYWOOD'
- Russia / Russians - Terrorist Nation
- Korea - Terrorist nation
- Africa - Jungle with people and animals whining and dining together (even though me wey they live here have never seen a wild animal in my life sef). Other times, Africa is a desert with no houses.
- And probably the first movie they will shoot in India, India is already being given the first impression of a slum! And another stereotype begins!
And incase you haven't noticed, almost every bad guy in American movies always have foreign accents!

C. And 'about accents of people who arrive from abroad' that people always complain about...the fact is their accents are as shitty as the ones foreign actors speak in movies about other countries (despite the 'language coach' they get). There's no movie where actors are expected to speak like another country that the people of the country didn't complain about the accents. Even british people complain about Charlize Theron's accent in the movie 'Snow White and Huntsman). That's just how it is; unless you've lived somewhere for a while, you can never have their accent! If na to say few words, then the language coaching might be effective.

Conclusion: Delusional stuffs is not limited to Nollywood! Infact, it is mean't to happen! Why? Because it is a movie! There are are better things to discuss improvement on. It's good to point out things like this, but you need to know, it's not a reason to bash any industry!

ayodot: The compression story by the OP holds no ground. The only time when data is compressed by rim is wen
1. one browse with Blackberry default browse
2. when using other Blackberry services..
Before mtn capped it bb data, a friend downloads movies and music of up to 20gig and with the use of ucweb blackberry another friend download films and software of about 3gig.
We only for the same volume of data allocate to BB be allocate to all device

Sagytarius: Talk of incompetence from NCC

sanandreas: Did this growth reflects in the lives of ordinary nigerians? How many jobs were created. One thing with nigeria is that they dnt have statistics. Everything is done by assumption.

chucky234: Why one runway with all the overhyped remodelling going on, an international airport is suppose to have four runways and not one.

Symphony007: ameachi is planning something so big it's a suprise most folks are still ignorant to it. Ameachi knows what he has done by joining APC. Ameachi is going to create a rivers APC. An APC is rivers not tainted by the presence of buhari and tinubu. There is a reason he has not been seen with them or held a rally since his defection. He wants to give rivers people the idea he is not the lapdog of hausa and yoruba man. He will populate this new rivers APC with magnus abe. A fresh faced senator, with a sparkling clean political record wo is views favourably by rivers people, prince tonye princewill, a young fresh faced politician and son of the amayanabor of kalabari kingdom. Then on the PDP side we have ezenwor wike which rivers people remember like a plague his term as LGA chairman, his time as government house chief of staff with 60 cows every christmass, let's not forget his cultism following him will be abite sekibo, former obasanjo transport minister sacked for corruption, a know cultist, and the man who told rivers people when he was running for governor in 2011 that if elected "rivers people will sleep with one eye opened"....let's see how that plays out.

1MCN: It's rather disturbing that the problem the people of Anambra (and indeed Nd'Igbo) seem to have with Ngige is not his personality but his party. This has a lot to tell us about the Nigerian politics and the political populace.

Omo_Tier1: Sometimes, we need to look out ourselves in the mirror and be honest to say we are deceiving ourselves! I travel far and wide each year, I go through big and large airports, regionals in Europe, North America, Southern Africa, Middle East and every time, ip feel so sorry for Nigeria.

If this is the best we as a nation in 2013 can come up with in renovating an already built airport, imagine what will be the result of the new international terminal?

I know some of you are going to go on with the blah blah of we never had it so good.... But what most of you forget is prices of projects are ever increasing, therefore, our failure to build these airports now to last another 25years means in 10years time it would cost us twice of what it cost today.

scribble: you would think that common sense would prevail...some people sha...

Ngige should challenge it, and Im sure he will have no problem with legal fees and im sure he will win in the rerun elections...INEC go spend money sha

Symphony007: The national PDP is just watching from a distance while a group of monkeys hijack their party in one of the most important states in the country. They think they are untouchable in the state. They forgot what power an incumbent in the opposition has in his state.
