thats what we've got among Nigerians....mediocrity..instead of overhauling the whole entertainment industry and let those foreigners find their way to nijja...that can even earn Nigeria cool cash via the entertainment sector but our celebs prefer showing Nigerian crazy things while if they get to abroad they are are treated less...thats downgrading u know

Absolutely!

look at Bollywood: it is the second most renowned industry and the most prolific, but when it started deviating from the charms of the indian culture to westernized Desi it became a joke. Despite the bollywood stars and script acting more American than Americans they still arent taken seriously because they abandoned the essence of the indian movie. And their biggest stars, besides Irfan Khan and Anil Kapoor, are still not featured in Hollywood. Infact, Sharukh Khan was once frisked at the airport!

Nollywood should stick by the culture of what makes our entertainment Nigerian. Nollywood needs to stop:

1. The fake accents
2. The objectification of women
3. The attempt to infuse london and Atlanta into every Nigerian flick.
4. Rushing to Texas to give themselves awards

There's endless source material for original scripts, ranging from our diverse cultures, our politics, our history, the uniqueness of our language etc.

In music these hopping little fools need to stop junketing all over the US looking for duets with Snoop or Chris Brown or many endless strings of washed out has-beens. Nigerian music must be Nigerian. Fela made an impact because he was original and remained true to the African rhythm. This recent crop of Tweeting arseholes lack an identity. I dont even know what genre to place PSquare and most of the acts (at least Timi Dakolo and Brymo are consistent)

Same goes for those rappers faking US West Coast Gangsta accents and displaying dollars.

Jim Iyke needs to stop body hustling. The guy overrates himself thinking he's some kind of god's gift to entertainment. I have it from credible sources that he's busy emailing and calling some US notables just to land even a small role in a major movie. But if he dedicated his efforts to remaking Nollywood into a serious vehicle for the arts with very good scripts and decent acting, Hollywood itself will come calling.

I just want our talents to be more proud and patriotic. You can attain fame and fortune by being true to your roots.

u are damn right....this is the bitter truth but some fit misunderstand it as hate

Oh, ive come across such people. They can happen to be among the groupies too, and are full of venom. One little punk even called me poor simply because i condemn the lies and hype behind the excess display of wealth and consumerism by the so-called celebs. Im yet to hear any ground-shaking single or blockbuster movie, but the stars are busy instagramming photos of shoes, bags, phones, tattoos, cars, toilets, vacations, babies, bikinis, stretchmarks, nose hair, and bleached skin.

And to their fans, THIS is entertainment, THIS is what they paid for.

smh.

I've got a gaddamn opinion and im going to say it, screw the drooling groupies and crazies.

Ive never seen entertainers as eager for US/Europe recognition as Nigerian artistes. You'd never hear of any other nation's stars always running to US/UK/GErmany to give themselves awards or perform to the immigrant community or desperately seek to meet the indigenous celebs just so their fawning fans can tear their hair out in frenzied hero-worship.

its shameful. you dont need to force your way into Jay Z or Chris Brown's lives to be validated as a talent.

Jim Iyke is busy running to and fro in Atlanta looking for movie deals, P Square is in New York hoping to perform with Jay Z, Davido is in London launching his Nigerian-oriented album.

And the funny thing is, on an international scale, these nonentities are talentless hacks.

BlackBerry still going to stick with their original os

But pitting this with the BlackBerry hub and features, that's how close a smartphone gets

Give me a Note 4 comparable battery life and I'm sold

Yes, i know they say they're stickiong with their OS, but for how long? Can they afford to split their dwindling resources across 2 platforms?

All this is nothig but a company in its death throes.

Going Android may igbite sales for a brief period due to curiosity but ulimately those sales are going to tank. Hardly any OEM is making profits besides samsung, and even the Galaxy behemoth is itself struggling with declining sales. Hardware manufacturers are not making any money on phones, the software-services guys are.

Apple, the king of profits, knows the hardware market is getting pretty saturated, so its deploying resources towards more services (iCloud Drive, Siri, Apple Music, Maps, Health, iTunes and App Stores etc). Google is pushing its play services and frameworks deeper into the Android core to better serve its services and tie other vendors into it (ie SnapChat); Microsoft is giving away windows for free to rope people into OneDrive, OneNote, Office365; Amazon is selling $50 tablet to further rope people into Prime and other Amazon services. Microsoft, Google and Amazon offer cloud computing (Apple only offers the SaaS version of it, for now).

What does Blackberry have? Nothing. BIS is dead thanks to data getting capped and multi-tiered, BBM is now multiplat and getting its lunch eaten by whatsapp. The only way is down.

Unless.....

They abandon hardware and go full cloud and services. Like i said earlier, BB OS is damn good. But even licensing it wont make a difference with AOSP out there. Samsung with all its resources couldnt make Tizen take off, Web OS died an inglorious death, Firefox OS and Ubuntu Phone are nowhere to be seen, Sailfish OS remains a hobby. Pushing forth a new platform is difficult; Android in a blackberry phone offers nothing compelling.

For now, its an iOS, Android and, to some extent, a Windows world.

Too little too late. Must be embarassing, since their OS is far more advanced than Android.

Bkackberry is a goner.

They'd probably end up splintering their business and selling off the technologies.

BB 10 would be great as auto infotainment joining the ranks of Android Auto and Apple Carplay, or in IoT.

Or maybe they can create a cloud services business since they're good with security and enterprise sync.

ok sir, till b.haram is brought to an end conspiracies would continue to emerge. u don't know the extent some evil people in the north can go to get power. I hope u know boko haram are not spirits they are also northerners killing their own people. I also believe u have heard many contradictory statements from northerners like an attack on boko haram is an attack on the north, Nigerian army is carrying out genocide on the north, the govt of GEJ is the sponsor of boko haram, gej has gone to Chad to plan more attacks in Nigeria. when buhari came in and stepped up the war its no longer an attack on northerners. for now the major conspiracy is that the northerners started boko haram but they are now totally out of their control.

the victims of boko haram might not deserve the violence meted upon them, but in war u don't choose to live or die, its above ur decision.

After reading this:

https://www.nairaland.com/2624526/army-alleges-sabotage-borno-leaders

I guess you're right to some extent.

I seriously doubt that this cross-eyed old man was kidnapped.

No one wants to confirm whether ransom was paid, the police are taking credit but not claiming a commando-style raid and shootout, no pictures or the usual parade of suspects.

Something is fishy.

Also, as a fulani, i take exception to ascribing every single misdeed to us. Im quite positive this kidnapping was faked to revive the political career of this old wreck. If indeed there was a kidnapping despite all odds, then one can be certain igboes wre the culprits.

tuniski:
. The current state of affairs of our nation is largely due to subsidy!

Actually it's due to bad, visionless, selfish leadership and theft. May other countries have subsidies in various industries and they're doing just great. Are you aware that the US pays subsidies to major organizations in the energy and agriculture sectors? Shell alone has collected about $2.04 billion as subsidies.

tuniski:
In fact, the death of taxation cos of petroleum is the opium the masses are on for this spate of indifference to governance!

Ours is a society where the individual is not fully emancipated politically, thus the power barons decide our collective fates without us being able to do much about it. Everywhere you look, from organized labor to trade unions to the legislature, the common man's interests are steadily stifled and downtrodden for the collective interests of the power horde. The citizenry is too divided along real and artificial chasms to mass together and make enough difference. also, the state is not shy of bringing out the big guns to quash any dissent.

tuniski:
I bet u, let the subsidy go and let the effects come full force, we will adjust.

We've heard this argument before: subsidy was partially withdrawn, nothing much has changed beyond enriching a few people via the fraudulent SURE-P.

tuniski:
high cost in itself is not the problem purchasing power is!

Actually, inflation is the problem. When inflation goes up, purchasing power goes down, costs go up. Its a veritable see-saw
Inflation has very little to do with subsidy payments, being a function of the forces of demand and supply, and unemployment

tuniski:
However, with the burden completely transfered to citizens we can now be awaken from our slumber and engage those in govt. The large scale corruption will then be checked cos I can't be paying thru sweat and one person just sit down and embezzle, mismanage and misappropriate such resources. No one will mobilize citizens for protest the burden will!!! !

Engage those in government how? Our homework must begin within ourselves at the grass root. When the yoruba stops hating the igbo, and the igbo drops his enmity towards the hausas, then we can mass up and rail against the system. But in a situation where we polarized ourselves along trivial differences then our struggle must perforce be in vain.

tuniski:
Subsidy must go and now

I quite agree. It has to. But not right away. Other things must be in place to cushion the effect. We can transfer the socialist framework of fuel subsidy to, say, agriculture or education or even health. The most advanced societies do not leave these 3 segments to the laissez faire forces. Also, we must build industries to mop up the unemployed, which would stabilize wages and consumer confidence, thus reducing inflation.

NIgerians must be de-programmed from wanting everything for free; we're not communists. But at the same time some socialist welfare must dilute the absolute capitalism you seem to suggest. Ergo, subsidy would not be killed; merely transferred.

double post.

The only conspiracy that has emerged so far is the one involving weapons acquisitions and missing defense funds under the PDP government.

bonechamberlain:
u don't know the extent some evil people in the north can go to get power.

SOME evil people, a FEW evil people, maybe, sure. But I cannot imagine a handful of people left out of the power loop for so long can finance and sustain a devastating insurgency with sophisticated gears of war for 6 years and counting. It would have been far too easy for the GEJ government to track the sponsors through the paper trail. Also, if the North wanted to bring down the GEJ government they wouldn't create insurgency that'd kill their support base; they'd instead create it in the south or middle belt, killing thousands of Christians and southerners until GEJ's own support base calls for his resignation for failing to protect them.

bonechamberlain:

And this fact invalidates your conspiracy theory.

1. During the time of Ihejirika many innocent youths were indiscriminately rounded up as BH members and tortured or killed; even Amnesty International and the Red Cross said as much. Wives watched as husbands were snatched away, mothers watched as sons were shot. This was what some Northern elders were complaining about.

2. Northerners were being massacred in the thousands, GEJ was meanwhile politicking and dancing in Kano, his wife was busy embarrassing herself on TV and debunking the Chibok issue, the Army was under-tooled and allowed to flee or die while the Generals got fatter and richer. Why then wont some people allege a sponsored genocide? The lethargic and frivolous approach to the issue by GEJ even led to his diminished international standing. No leader shouild ever say bombing civilians is an inevitable fact of life and we should just suck it up. The only time GEJ showed some balls was a few days to the election; isnt that suspicious?

bonechamberlain:
when buhari came in and stepped up the war its no longer an attack on northerners.

During the time of GEJ Northern youths were indiscriminately killed, including the Civilian JTF. The international community demanded the Nigerian Military change its tactics of human abuse and Buhari made it clear to the new service chiefs that such a policy must be their watchword. Now you can bear witness to how the locals are helping the military with vital intelligence.

bonechamberlain:
for now the major conspiracy is that the northerners started boko haram but they are now totally out of their control.

Evidence? If this is true how come GEJ arrested or indicted no one? You take exception to claims of genocidal conspiracy by GEJ, yet you justify a nebulous conspiracy against northerners. The day someone proves to me the rationale and sense behind Northerners killing themselves because of GEJ would be the day i join PDP.

bonechamberlain:
the victims of boko haram might not deserve the violence meted upon them, but in war u don't choose to live or die, its above ur decision.

We're not talking about some collateral damage here. We're talking systemic annihilation of innocent civilian men, women and children by nihilistic armed insurgents, with murder as a doctrine that forms the bedrock of their jihad. So of course those who make it their mission to kill can chose who lived and died.

The enemy here is Boko Haram, not some amorphous Northern leaders yet to be mentioned. The history of how this began during Yar'adua and not GEJ is in the public domain. Yaradua nearly exterminated boko haram and drove them out of maiduguri, bauchi and yobe. However when GEJ came onboard he treated the issue with kid's gloves and the same kind of warped logic you herein espouse; that it's strictly a northern affair. Behold the result.

Stolen:
Favour is something requested. Ndiigbo did not ask for any appointment.

You didnt just ask for it, you were begging for it and wailing all over the place that PMB is marginalizing you guys. Dont you remember?

This igboes sef. One minute you'd complain about being sidelined, next minute you'd puff up with fake pride and claim you didnt ask for it.

We're trying to employ more of you so that there'd be less igboe crime and consequently less soiling of the Nigerian passport.

bonechamberlain:
ok forget who said what. but remember the message.

The message is indeed powerful, but the way you use it connotes some conspiracy against GEJ's government, which never made any sense to me how Northerners would light a fire in their backyard and kill thousands of their people just to spite GEJ.

Your remarks, which i responded to, seem to mean that the victims of BH deserve the violence meted upon them, and i take exception to that apathy.

Henry120:
Deja vu, that camo pattern isn't Nigerian. The colour of the Pick-up truck also isn't Nigerian. Nigerian forces also hardly wear the old AK-47 webbing those troops are wearing.

At least 1 Soldier is carrying a Chinese Type-56C assault rifle. Nigerian Troops do not carry the Type-56C only Mobile Police men use those.


More importantly, that's Diffa in Niger, not Nigeria.

You could be right. Also i was wrong, the Nigerien troops use the FN FAL and not the G3, though both look very alike.

Henry120:
These are not Nigerian soldiers. They are soldiers from the republic of Niger, not Nigeria.

Nigerian. The camo pattern, the boots and helmets are Nigerian forces standard issue. Also, Niger forces mostly use the H&K G3 assault rifle. These are AK 47 AKMs

Do you by any means realize these are figures that can easily be verified or refuted? Why not go ahead and provide your own figures to negate these ones published by Vanguard?

Or alternatively hold your peace and silently pray for the good of your country?
