Miriam Olusanya of Gtbank
Yemisi Edun of FCMB
Halima Buba of SunTrust Bank.

Osariemen12:




The way you sit in your hut and scribe nonsense is funny. In your mind Ogun state is rated above Delta, Edo, Anambra, Plateau, Enugu and Akwa Ibom states.

The same Delta that Okowa has ruined or Edo full of villages, don't even mention Anambra or Plateau here

I know you put Ipob states, Plateau and Akwa Ibom there to get back up from and since you are from Edo,you decide to put it behind Delta

Laughsssss
After Lagos, Ogun is the next state in Nigeria
Kill yourself

Top 5 States in Nigeria

Lagos
Abuja
Rivers
Kano
Ogun

6th to 10th position

Delta
Oyo
Enugu
Anambra
Kaduna

Igbos are like this when Jonathan an Ijaw man is rulling, who will breathe in this country if Peter Obi wins

doxtun:
Wow… just wow. Why this much hate from the Igbos for my people. As a strong Obi supporter, reading this thread saddens my heart mehn. I don’t even know what to think anymore.

Bro, I was also supporting obi until I went through this thread,

The hatred is too much, I immediately withdrew my support for OBI

naturalman:
From all indices, IGBO people are still winning....

No yoruba can produce common G wagoon AND FIghter jet

IGBOS won

Talk am again

Meet Mrs. Yemisi Iranloye, the Nigerian Queen of Cassava who overcomes all the multinationals and maintains the lead in Cassava production.

With a production of 10,000 tons of cassava per year, she makes a mind-blowing annual turnover of USD12 million, or 6,653,55,200 FCFA.

Nigeria is the world’s largest producer of Cassava.

This woman is a good example of a serious farmer that needs all the encouragement from the government to produce more.

In her own words: “May Nigeria Succeed and Survive Its Detractors.”

“We are Marching Forward Positively, Progressively and Successfully in Agriculture,” she added.


She achieves an incredible annual turnover of millions in dollars.

The promotion of local production in Africa is a reality, here is a great example.
Her company ‘Psaltry International Limited’ reached an annual income of USD12 million after 10 years of operation.
The company operates a network of more than 5,000 farmers, and its customers include big names like Nestlé and Unilever.

In Nigeria, it was Yemisi Iranloye a visionary entrepreneur who launched Psaltry International Limited in 2015.
Psaltry International Limited is specialized in the production and processing of cassava in Nigeria. Among its derived products, starch, flour, and also sorbitol, a natural sweetener obtained from this tuber.
It produces over 10,000 tonnes of starches each year.

Unfortunately in Africa, politicians and some officials divert billions from taxpayers to go and have a good life with their families without thinking for a moment of setting up businesses/factories.

The new generation must absolutely change this rotten and anti-development system.

This lady is an example to follow!!

Bulldozer90:
You are repeating what you stated that made me quote you without improving your argument. Netflix acquired lionheart for 3.8 million dollars.if it were a cinema movie, it would be grossing over 2 billion naira from today's exchange rate! yet, the people who produced the movie are your traditional nollywood personalities.

Why leaving the real deal to discuss same thing that have explained up there

Since you want to play around, I'm ready for you

Lionsheart box office is #21.3million (lol, e shock u) so don't even dream of 2 billion naira, lol

Source : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionheart_(2018_film)

Again, Njoku of Iroko did a research before investing in nollywood and found out that cinema holds only about 5%, while DVD and cable TV holds the rest. He chose to open a streaming channel and a TV channel. Today, he is the richest person in nollywood.

1. The way you people always draft lies, which data show that cinema has 5%?
2. Is like you were with him when he did they research haba!
Igbo why now
3. In this generation who is still using DVD ?

You've been talking since, bring unverifiable data, all your thoughts here without legit source

Is it about the population of Nigerians that have been to cinema or where you as a producer can make your money, saying cinema is 5% is a big error from you

Now I understand where Peter Obi is coming from, just talk anyhow, spill mind whether correct or wrong

Don't go astray, the main point is that Yorubas dominate Nollywood
Shikena

That is why i say the people you chose to slight are the ones who sustain nollywood. They are the ones who connect to African audience, they have traditional faces in nollywood because they are most widely watched.

List those who sustain Nollywood?
You are living in old age

Who here remember that Awka is the Capital of Anambra?
It's arguable the most unpopular state capital due to the state of redundancy of the state capital.

GODPUNISHALABI:
these are your shithole brown roof and shotput slinging capitals thank God igbos have bought 70 percent of lagos if not we would have been seeing similar thing in lagos

Awka and Abakaliki has nothing to write home about yet you continue to live in self denial

Be bothered about the state of rottenness in East

GODPUNISHALABI:
these are your shithole brown roof and shotput slinging capitals thank God igbos have bought 70 percent of lagos if not we would have been seeing similar thing in lagos

70% ke, it's 90%

That's why the richest men in Lagos - Adenuga, Adeleke, Alakija, Otedola, Elizade, Dangote etc are all igbos

Even the governor, deputy and government office is filled up with Igbos

You know lekki, Victorial Island, Banana Island Eko City all owned by igbos

Wake up from your delusion of adequacy

Some northern state capital is far better than those in East

Minna is far better than Akwa and Abakaliki

Abakaliki is a glorified village

Real time village

Who remember that Awka is the capital of ANAMBRA?

The state capital is a big scam

Gusau, Abakaliki, Awka, Umuahia

When last did you hear from these state capital

Awka of ANAMBRA and Abakaliki of Ebonyi are worst abeg

Bulldozer90:
sorry to interrupt but i just feel you should know how it works. "Highest grossing" only applies to the cinema movies which is just a fraction of the industry. For instance, the most commercially successful nollywood movie is Lion heart but it's not even shown among highest grossing movies because it was released on a streaming platform.
Secondly, 'highest grossing' rating standard is not a true reflection of commercial success because it captures only sales revenue without subtracting it from the cost of production, promotion and cinema share. If a movie grosses 100 million, we might never know if 10 million was the actual profit. But someone outside the cinema produced a movie with 10million and 'grossed' 20million made more success because his approach is more economically sustainable, and he is more likely to produce more.

Thank you
The most popular streaming site for Nollywood movies are

1. Netflix : In 2018, Netflix acquired LionHeart. Currently, there are a host of other Nollywood movies on Netflix including King of Boys, Up North, The Vendor, Moms at War, Mokalik, Chief Daddy and more.

2. Showmax
With movies like The lost cafe, Ojukokoro, Roti, 93 days, and Banana island ghost on its platform,
3. NollyLand
4. IrokoTV
5. YouTube
6. Filmland etc

And all these movies in the link here are on these streaming platforms
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Nigerian_films

If they can get that amount from cinema alone then they have millions running into their account through other platforms

Lastly
Please take note that budget is there

The budget include cost of production and promotion

For instance Wedding party 2 budget is #60,000,000 and box office is #453,000,000

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wedding_Party_(2016_film)

Another one is Omo Ghetto
Is the only the second movie in English speaking West Africa to cross the ₦600 million at box office mark after Black Panther

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omo_Ghetto:_The_Saga

michlins:
Obi will do what he did for innoson for this company if he becomes president

Pls explain

Rahman2330:

Banditary is another thing on its own

It's not as if we can capture them but there is more to it

More as how?
What negative effect will capturing and killing them bring to Nigeria

And we are still struggling to fight bandits

Bullet proof

Solsix:
Nice one, we can actually export technology. Obi is coming, don't forget that.

100%

Corridon:
Innoson has done it before them. Congrats to them sha.

This is about Proforce not innoson

Must you always be tribalistic, besides innoson don't produce military vehicles and innoson has never produce a drone

Military strength

Proforce military motors is advancing very fast in development

Proforce partners with NASRDA on Nigerian space technology

Proforce has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nigeria’s National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) for the first private sector-driven satellite in the country.
