Didn't the NFVCB censor these movies?

Y'all laughing rather than finding a solution to this menace. It's so embarrassing that we have graduates of linguistics, English, French and other foreign languages roaming the streets searching for jobs and Nollywood keeps churning out this ludicrous trash everyday.

Nollywood is really a big job market for these graduates; Nigerian movies should be well subtitled (even the ones shot in English) in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese since there's such a huge market for them already in Africa. These are some of the things the government should look at not dashing people millions of dollars to 'boost the entertainment industry'.

acidtalk:


Have you also heard the Mauritanian president got shot by his own miliatry?

Even though they have taken over power while the man has been flown abroad, let's all keep our fingers crossed and watch events unfold itself.

utter balderdash...your bullshyte no 4 has nothing to do with Aluu, no junta has taken over anything in Mauritania and the rest of your predictions are silly musings of a delusional wannabe.

This is great, I'll love to see the city of Aba realise its enormous potentials.

Hugo Weaving (Mr. Smith in The Matrix, Elrond in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit, "V" in V for Vendetta) was born in UCH, Ibadan. That makes him part Nigerian, no

Mynd_44: Cartoons having intimate content? Please give examples.
Cartoons have always been violent (at least a lot of them) consider Tom and Jerry, Bugs and Daffy, and a lot of others

South park, Archie, Boondocks, Family guy, Life and times of Tim et. al. These are some of the cartoons I love but will never let my kids watch them.

CyberG: I think the judges should do justice to this case, so let us see. In my opinion though, let the ibos secede but their will be conditions which will NOT be negotiable:

1. Every ibo man will NOT have access or be allowed to live anywhere else that is current Nigeria, except iboland: Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi. They shall have ONLY 3 months to relocate to iboland. Every ibo who is not will be in contravention of secession agreement, will be liable for grave penalty, treason, become a legitimate target which includes capital punishment with all other options on the table.

2. They will be responsible for their local debts to banks, etc in their new country

3. If Nigeria is NOT good enough now, it WILL NOT be good enough for them later on ANYTHING, so no access to Nigeria's ports, airspace, oil reserves not on iboland, coast, currency, etc.

4. There will be NO economic cooperation with it and ANY parts of Nigeria.

5. Their military will be limited to 50,000 or a number as deemed fit by agreement at secession. Like Iran and other states, they shall not be allowed to make or buy heavy weapons, nuclear technology, etc.

6. There shall be an international body (including representatives from Nigeria) to monitor their compliance to 5 above.

7. Any break to the agreement will be met with BLUNT, BRUTAL FORCE that is not aimed at correction as Nigeria will not waste any efforts or resources bogged down in a stupid war over a land less than the size of Benue State. Also, Nigeria shall maintain permanent military bases, missile shields, and forward operating bases in Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Edo, Benue and Kogi States. Nigeria will also assemble new military divisions to be stationed off the Atlantic coasts with a fleet of aircraft carriers, battleships. Dive bombers and heavy bombers shall be stationed in all states mentioned above. Drones shall be allowed to roam biafran skies and fly at not less than 18,000 ft.

8. The agreement shall remain in perpetuity and immutable for NOT less than 100,000 years!

LMAO!!! You wan them Biafrans to accuse us of genocide again for not feeding them? Me I no dey dat one ooo.

why do you have to ridicule yourself dude? the correct spelling is 'nonsense'

Sanguine77: @gidi and afam, you two are making a mess of yourselves in public. I take exceptions to nitwits who join issues with themselves in public. Two people cannot be mad and odious at the same time. He who is wise is wise: ability to speak sparkling English or parading a degree or certificates does not make one wise.

I know the foolish among you will attack me

Sanguinista abeg leave me and afam ooo, we're just having fun nothing personal.

afam4eva:
Now you have to stoop to the level of correcting my grammar. I'll advice you enroll yourself into an adult education center and work on your intellect. While you're at it, ask for a refund from all the schools you've attended thus far. It's obvious your education is a waste.

Sparring with u is like having a convo with a toddler. this is too easy

afam4eva:
You started the stup1dity and now that the heat is one you're giving up. Next time learn not to mess with people with superior wisdom because it will come back to bite you. I'm your intellectual god, bow down and worship me...

Hehehe...this is serious, all hail NL's resident retarrrd (sic)...god afam.

How on earth can the heat be one? (We'll let that slide as a typo, even if 'e' is very far from 'n' or spacebar.)

I believe u meant 'superior intellect' not 'wisdom' which I really doubt u possess considering my IQ is far far above 55, the threshold of ur type.

afam4eva:
After opening your yansh, you're talking analogy...

I give up, you're confirmed retard. No wonder dayokanu and ileke-idi dey always mess you up.

Why are Somalis so racist? A country with am homogeneous ethnic and religious entity, fails to remain one stable country and still insults other Africans. Talk about delusions of grandeur.

afam4eva:
The Nobel prize is about pride and honour and not money...Who's talking nonsense now?

My reference to that line of the song was an analogy, for you to infer that I meant something else says a lot about your IQ. Please keep Biafra/Massob away from this thread, this is foreign affairs abeg before you people start another tribal war on here.

cold:

Same here. I'm struggling to make sense of the...well statement

He has a point though; Why give a group a nobel peace price for basically not starting another world war like they're wont to do?

DANILSA: MAYBE IF NOT FOR NIGERIAN CRISIS AND BOKOHARAM SULTAN COULD HAVE SNATCHED IT.

...and what exactly has he done to promote peace in Nigeria? I've met the man before and he comes across as someone who's very intelligent and humble but I feel there's a lot he can do to help bring sanity to the north and save Nigeria the perennial embarrassment emanating from there.

afam4eva: So, even group sef dey win Nobel prize? That means Massob has hope. They're the only militant group that don't destry lives and property. I expect that they'll be given the Nobel peace prize next year.

Your post reminds me of Rick Ross's verse in onyinye rmx; "...we talking money, u talking nonsense..."

Nawa for this goon oo, when did Alh. Hassan become Umuokiri-Aluu community chief again?

COMPLETE BULLCRAP

anonimi:

Must you show your IGNORANCE without being asked to
So atates are not expected to provide ANY infrastructures
Just a few examples:
There are federal roads just as there are state and LG roads.
While the FG provides specialist hospitals, states provide general hospitals and LGs provide basic health centres.
Stay there and expect GEJ to come and provide green public spaces in your neighbourhood instead of facing your LG chairman and councillors, assuming you know them!

And has your FG provided ANY of these recently in the city of Lagos?

...and if you must know, Centers of tourist attraction are used to boost the economy and infrastructures in a locale, so Billionaire's assertion is dead on arrival.

afam4eva: Stale News...

I posted it to highlight this part;

There was a lot more to it and the fact that Achebe and most of our igbo brothers and sisters always conveniently forget to mention the other half of the story is something that causes some of us from outside igboland considerable concern and never ceases to amaze us. The bitter truth is that if anyone is to be blamed for the hundreds of thousands of igbos that died from starvation during the civil war it was not Chief Awolowo or even General Yakubu Gowon but rather it was Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu himself. I say this because it is a matter of public record and a historical fact that the Federal Government of Nigeria made a very generous offer to Ojukwu and the Biafrans to open a road corridor for food to be ferried to the igbos and to lessen the suffering of their civilian population. This was as a consequence of a deal that was brokered by the international community who were concerned about the suffering of the igbo civilian population and the death and hardship that the blockade was causing to them. Unfortunately Ojukwu turned this down flatly and instead insisted that the food should be flown into Biafra by air in the dead of the night. This was unacceptable to the Federal Government because it meant that the Biafrans could, and indeed would, have used such night flights to smuggle badly needed arms and ammunition into their country for usage by their soldiers. That was where the problem came from and that was the issue. Quite apart from that Ojukwu found it expedient and convenient to allow his people to starve to death and to broadcast it on television screens all over the world in order to attract sympathy for the igbo cause and for propaganda purposes. And this worked beautifully for him.

How true is this? If it is then

I am a historian and I have always believed that if we want to talk history we must be dispassionate, objective and factual. We must take the emotion out of it and we must always tell the truth. The worst thing that anyone can do is to try to re-write history and indulge in historical revisionism. This is especially so when the person is a reverred figure and a literary icon. Sadly it is in the light of such historical revisionism that I view Professor Chinua Achebe’s assertion (which is reflected in his latest and highly celebrated book titled ”There Was A Country”) that Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the late and much loved Leader of the Yoruba, was responsible for the genocide that the igbos suffered during the civil war. This claim is not only false but it is also, frankly speaking, utterly absurd. Not only is Professor Achebe indulging in perfidy, not only is he being utterly dishonest and disengenious but he is also turning history upside down and indulging in what I would describe as ethnic chauvinism.


I am one of those that has always had tremendous sympathy for the igbo cause during the civil war. I am also an admirer of Colonel Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who stood up for his people when it mattered the most and when they were being slaughtered by rampaging mobs in the northern part of our country. At least 100,000 igbos were killed in those northern pogroms which took place before the civil war and which indeed led directly to it. This was not only an outrage but it was also a tragedy of monuemental proportions.Yet we must not allow our emotion or our sympathy for the suffering of the igbo at the hands of northern mobs before the war started to becloud our sense of reasoning as regards what actually happened during the prosecution of the war itself. It is important to set the record straight and not to be selective in our application and recollection of the facts when considering what actually led to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of igbo women, children and civilians during that war. And, unlike others, I do not deny the fact that hundreds of thousands were starved to death as a consequence of the blockade that was imposed on Biafra by the Nigerian Federal Government. To deny that this actually happened would a lie. It is a historical fact. Again I do not deny the fact that Awolowo publically defended the blockade and indeed told the world that it was perfectly legitimate for any government to impose such a blockade on the territory of their enemies in times of war. Awolowo said it, this is a matter of historical record and he was qouted in a number of British newspapers as having said so at the time. Yet he spoke nothing but the truth. And whether anyone likes to hear it or not he was absolutely right in what he said. Let me give you an example. During the Second World War a blockade was imposed on Germany, Japan and Italy by the Allied Forces and this was very effective. It weakened the Axis powers considerably and this was one of the reasons why the war ended at the time that it did. If there had been no blockade the Second World War would have gone on for considerably longer. In the case of the Nigerian civil war though the story did not stop at the fact that a blockade was imposed by the Federal Government which led to the suffering, starvation, pain, death and hardship of the civilian igbo population or that Awolowo defended it. That is only half the story.

There was a lot more to it and the fact that Achebe and most of our igbo brothers and sisters always conveniently forget to mention the other half of the story is something that causes some of us from outside igboland considerable concern and never ceases to amaze us. The bitter truth is that if anyone is to be blamed for the hundreds of thousands of igbos that died from starvation during the civil war it was not Chief Awolowo or even General Yakubu Gowon but rather it was Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu himself. I say this because it is a matter of public record and a historical fact that the Federal Government of Nigeria made a very generous offer to Ojukwu and the Biafrans to open a road corridor for food to be ferried to the igbos and to lessen the suffering of their civilian population. This was as a consequence of a deal that was brokered by the international community who were concerned about the suffering of the igbo civilian population and the death and hardship that the blockade was causing to them. Unfortunately Ojukwu turned this down flatly and instead insisted that the food should be flown into Biafra by air in the dead of the night. This was unacceptable to the Federal Government because it meant that the Biafrans could, and indeed would, have used such night flights to smuggle badly needed arms and ammunition into their country for usage by their soldiers. That was where the problem came from and that was the issue. Quite apart from that Ojukwu found it expedient and convenient to allow his people to starve to death and to broadcast it on television screens all over the world in order to attract sympathy for the igbo cause and for propaganda purposes. And this worked beautifully for him.


Ambassador Ralph Uweche, who was the Special Envoy to France for the Biafran Government during the civil war and who is the leader of Ohaeneze, the leading igbo political and socio-cultural organisation today, attested to this in his excellent book titled ”Reflections On The Nigerian Civil War”. That book was factual and honest and I would urge people like Achebe to go and read it well. The self-serving role of Ojukwu and many of the Biafran intelligensia and elites and their insensitivity to the suffering of their own people during the course of the war was well enunciated in that book. The fact of the matter is that the starvation and suffering of hundreds of thousands of igbo men, women and children during the civil war was seen and used as a convenient tool of propaganda by Ojukwu and that is precisely why he rejected the offer of a food corridor by the Nigerian Government. When those that belong to the post civil war generation of the igbo are wondering who was responsible for the genocide and mass starvation of their forefathers during the war they must firstly look within themselves and point their fingers at their own past leaders and certainly not Awolowo or Gowon. The person that was solely responsible for that suffering, for that starvation and for those slow and painful deaths was none other than Colonel Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra, himself.


I have written many good things about Ojukwu on many occassions in the past and I stand by every word that I have ever said or written about him. In my view he was a man of courage and immense fortitude, he stood against the mass murder of his people in the north and he brought them home and created a safe haven for them in the east. For him, and indeed the whole of Biafra, the war was an attempt to exercise their legitimate right of self-determination and leave Nigeria due to the atrocities that they had been subjected to in the north. I cannot blame him or his people for that and frankly I have always admired his stand. However he was not infallible and he also made some terrible mistakes, just as all great leaders do from time to time. The fact that he rejected the Nigerian Federal Government’s offer of a food corridor was one of those terrible mistakes and this cost him and his people dearly. Professor Chinua Achebe surely ought to have reflected that in his book as well. When it comes to the Nigerian civil war there were no villains or angels. During that brutal conflict no less than two million Nigerians and Biafrans died and the yoruba who, unlike others, did not ever discriminate or attack any non-yorubas that lived in their in their territory before the civil war or carry out any coups or attempted coups, suffered at every point as well. For example prominent yoruba sons and daughters were killed on the night of the first igbo coup of January 1966 and again in the northern ”revenge” coup of July 1966. Many of our people were also killed in the north before the outbreak of the civil war and again in the mid-west and the east during the course and prosecution of the war itself. It was indeed the predominantly yoruba Third Marine Commando, under the command of General Benjamin Adekunle (the ”Black Scorpion”) and later General Olusegun Obasanjo, that not only liberated the mid-west and drove the Biafrans out of there but they also marched into igboland itself, occupied it, defeated the Biafran Army in battle, captured all their major towns and forced the igbo to surrender. Third Marine Commando was made up of yoruba soldiers and I can say without any fear of contradiction that we the yoruba therefore paid a terrible and heavy price as well during the war because many of our boys were killed on the war front by the Biafrans.

The sacrifice of these proud sons of the south-west that died in battle to keep Nigeria one must not be belittled, mocked or ignored. Clearly it was not only the igbo that suffered during the civil war. Neither does it auger well for the unity of our nation for Achebe and the igbo intelligensia that are hailing his self-serving book to caste aspertions on the character, role and noble intentions of the late and reverred Leader of the Yoruba, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, during the civil war. The man may have made one or two mistakes in the past like every other great leader and of course there was a deep and bitter political division in yorubaland itself just before the civil war started and throughout the early ’60′s. Yet by no stretch of the imagination can Awolowo be described as an igbo-hating genocidal maniac and he most certainly did not delight in the starvation of millions of igbo men, women and children as Achebe has tried to suggest. My advice to this respected author is that he should leave Chief Awolowo alone and allow him to continue to rest in peace. This subtle attempt to denigrate the yoruba and their past leaders, to place a question mark on their noble and selfless role in the war and to belittle their efforts and sacrifice to keep Nigeria together as one will always be vigorously resisted by those of us that have the good fortune of still being alive and who are aware of the facts. We will not remain silent and allow anyone, no matter how respected or reverred, to re-write history. Simply put by writing this book and making some of these baseless and nonsensical assertions, Achebe was simply indulging in the greatest mendacity of Nigerian modern history and his crude distortion of the facts has no basis in reality or rationality. We must not mistake fiction and story telling for historical fact. The two are completely different. The truth is that Professor Chinua Achebe owes the Awolowo family and the yoruba people a big apology for his tale of pure fantasy.

Billyonaire: If you ask me, I will say, that this Fela Shrine is at the long run, misplaced priority. Lagos needs massive infrastructural overhauling. Why are we talking about tourisms before infrastructural and security projects. Its like putting a cart before the Horse.

Isn't that the job of your GEJ? Or what's the point of getting the lion share of the budget if u're still gonna ask the states to provide their own security?

Chanchit: Abi nau, if na me nko...? 5m+5m from winning Olympic gold medals. And those people get their own s h a g i n g skill. Just close your eyes and imagine what their blue film would look like.




Nb: Me no close my eyes o..!

This is so insensitive.

^^ Don't mind them.

afam4eva:
Maybe you should start by telling us some of the innovations that Lagos has made that qualifies them for this award.
Btw, i live in LasGidi.

You live in gidi and u're still asking me what innovations Lagos have made?

Being innovative doesn't necessarily mean coming up with new ideas or methods, but implementing them be it new or copied.

afam4eva:
I'm thinking there's a new meaning of "Innovative", because Lagos does not it into the definition that i know.

innovate  (ˈɪnəˌveɪt) 
 
— vb
to invent or begin to apply (methods, ideas, etc)
 
[C16: from Latin innovāre  to renew, from in- ² + novāre  to make new, from novus  new]
 
innovative
 
— adj

Do you live in Lagos?

afam4eva: I really don't see the basis for calling Lagos the most innovative city...what does that even mean?

If u don't know what it means how can you see the basis?

agoha_vivi: U obviously don't have the fear of God. I pray that neither yourself or anyone close to you ever finds him/her self in the wrong place at the wrong time. U are the one who is a confused animal. An unjust society is no excuse for murder. We are different from animals, that's the reason why God instructed that we dominate the earth. Sometime in 2009, very early in the morning on my way to work, I was attacked by a thief who really beat me all in a feat to weaken me and make away with my handbag. I refused to release it to him because he wasn't armed the result was that he kept beating me. All the while I tried fighting him as best as I could and at the same time screaming, " thief, thief, catch him", all the while was I was praying for help and hoping for someone to come to my rescue to no avail. I had almost lost hope when a mopol surfaced and told him not to move. He immediately fled but unfortunately for him he was caught and thoroughly beaten. At a point, a young man picked up a very big stone and wanted to use it on him I screamed and pleaded that he shouldn't be killed the guy who wanted to strike raised his voice at me asking if I knew his offence, all the while acting like he meant to attack me. I screamed back at him telling him that I was the one who was almost robbed. Immediately, he apologised and asked if the thief hurt me all the while trying to brush off the dirt smeared all over me after the thief pushed me down. To cut a long story short we were taken to nearby police station where the thief was detained and I wrote down a statement of what happened. I narrated this ordeal because I wanted you to know that despite the injustice in the land and the presence of so many inhumane, blood thirsty individuals in this country, we still have some sane beings with the milk of human kindness flowing in them of which I happen to be one. If you choose to reason and act like a beast, it's up you but note, not all of us act and reason like u do.

Cool story bro, but would have said the same thing if they killed your father and raped your sister?

The writer is not trying to justify the killing but to highlight the inadequacies in our society that culminated in the event of last weekend. If the people knew they'll get justice, do you think they'll have done it? The people of Aluu are monsters created by the society we created, where laws do not exist.

I believe the people of Aluu went to far and people should be punished for it but its time we faced d bigger issues.

rhymz: I was very right about how hateful a person you are. You have been seething all the while over how the security agencies have been decimating those bokoharam murderers and now that innocent southerners whose guts you hate have been victimized, you see it as an opportunity to gloat and possibly find justification for their murder.
Hopefully, Karma will surely teach you it goes around soon.

You're pathetic dude, read my post again and review your foolishness.
Who gives a rats ass about Aboki bokos?
They are all the same to me, cultist, BH, BH sympathizers et al.
Do I support jungle justice on any of them? NO, cos I believe in the rule of law.
Do I have sympathy for them if it happens? - Hell fcking NO

Who's gloating or justifying murder? I have done more to assist in the investigation than you who's just ranting here. Not because I pitied those cultits but cos I know it needs to be done to restore order to the country.

You call me hateful for not having pity for folks who would do the same thing to me as a 'jew' who stepped on their toes? Well that's your cup of tea. I reserve my tears for the Mubi 25.
