[b]Chinua Achebe forces 50 Cent to rename movie
Things fall apart for rapper as Nigerian writer makes him change forthcoming film title to avoid conflict with 1958 novel

50 Cent
Cheer up Fiddy … 50 Cent forced to change film title
50 Cent has been undone by one of Africa's greatest novelists, Chinua Achebe. The rapper's latest movie has been renamed ahead of its release, due to a conflict with Achebe's most famous work.

Things Fall Apart, published by Achebe in 1958, is Nigeria's most famous English-language novel. It has sold more than 8m copies worldwide. Unfortunately, 50 Cent was not aware of this. He spent much of 2010 shooting a film of the same name, the story of an American football player diagnosed with cancer. "It's a project that I wrote, produced and financed myself," he explained last year. Directed by Mario Van Peebles, it premiered at the Miami film festival in March and is expected to be released soon.

Unfortunately for Fiddy, his film will not keep its original title. After being contacted by Achebe's legal team, 50 Cent allegedly offered $1m to hold on to the title. Achebe, 80, took this as an insult. "The novel with the said title was initially produced in 1958 (that is 17 years before [50] was born)," replied his lawyers, according to Naijan. "[It is] listed as the most-read book in modern African literature, and won't be sold for even £1bn." The film has now been renamed to All Things Fall Apart.[/b]

Oga movie is a different terrain, moreover, I talked about a name that has been trademarked, if it has been trademarked no one else is able to use it no more. And you have every right to sue such person or persons. We are talking about musical works though. I can give you list of musicals that has the same titles, and yet nothing happens.

In movies, for example they have board that you have to go to before you release the movie. They will have to check on the titles of the already released movies before they can approve yours new work so as not to bring confusion. But in music, they don't go through this steps. 10 persons can have the same title of songs so long they don't sound alike or have element of copy work in it that is where issues might come in. But in movies, whether or not the works look alike is an issue when they have same title.

Go ask 50cent when he wan use things fall apart for his movie u go knw say title too matter
Oga title does not matter. I have lived in many developed climes ok. I have told you where it matters, except it has trademark on it. Or it has element of original work in the new work. You don't just sue, you might get knocked in the end, if your work does not seem alike when probed.

Victor uwaifo's case 8s different. Teckno copied everything back to back.
Agreed. This sound sure sound like that of Danfo drivers. And Tekno sure bleeped up on this one. He should take permission first. But some people just want to sue if you use same title as theirs, which will never stand. That's why i used sir Victor Uwaifo's work as an example. He claims Simi copied his work just because of the title. Then I listened to the songs they never sound alike at all. But he said he will not sue her though but she should have come to him first before using that title... I just weak for the man that time.

QuietHammer:
Yada yada yada. Listen to Tekno's Jogodo and the said song by Danfo Driver then come edit this nonsense. And the issue here is not the title.
Wasn't talking about tekno's work. Agreed Tekno sounds much alike like that of Danfo Drivers truly and Tekno bleeped up though, he should sort for their permission first. But I was actually talking about Simi's Joromi vs Sir Victor Uwaifo's Joromi. They didn't sound alike in anyway. That's not intellectual property of Sir Victor Uwaifo. He doesn't have some right to the title Joromi anyone can title their work as Joromi unless he puts trademark on that name.

safarigirl:
it is intellectual property theft, in saner climes, Tekno would be facing a law suit, so would Simi

Even the title of a song cannot just be snatched like that
Oga that's not intellectual property. Did you listen to Simi' s Jerome? And Sir Victor's own? Do they sound alike to start with? In any clime sir Victor don't have a good case, he can't certainly win, he will only end up ridicule himself. He should have sue and embarrass himself. Anyone can use the same title of your song. Except it has a trademark. Even in USA people use the same title that is a sane clime. So talk another thing.

can never wake up because they are forever sucked into a concept of believe called religion created by European, Arabs and Jews.

Brother, research and learn. There's no one God, the idea of a one God is both parochial and a dangerous notion but that which monotheism latches onto so as to appear spectacular. There are several Gods, God is not a name but a TITLE and you were brainwashed by a book to believe in the paganism wherein a Jewish deity, their Olorun (God), whose name they call Yahweh (YHWH), just like the name of the God of the Arab is called Allah but wasn't before as they were vastly polytheistic in their pre-Mohammedan pasts. Odin is the God of the Scandinavians, Buddha to Asians, Zeus to the Greeks, Eledumare is the name of Olorun (God) of the Yorubas and are all different in attributes, characteristic and personification and by the veracity of their existence depending on , note that Yahweh, which translates in English to become Jehovah in Christianity. So every Christians and Christian converts like most Africans are, just worshiping the deity of the Jewish race. Just like every Muslims are worshiping the moon deity of the Arab race. And if you think I am a heathen or pagan for not believing and accepting your own God (Olorun), fine then likewise are you a pagan and heathen for not accepting my own God (Eledumare the Awamaridi) just as an Chinese can regard you, and I or anyone else as pagans and heathen for not accepting or believing in their Olorun (God) called Buddha in their respective languages. So I hope you do see where the statement of ascribing oneness and almightiness to a God, it implies the inferiority of others so why can't we all respect each others Gods, religion and believe system and most importantly should be private.
Oga I never said there's only one God. But the one I know that is genuine is the Almighty God. The rest are powerless and i careless about them all. Yes the rest are inferior and fake, believe what you want to believe as you can never sell your belief to me cos I won't buy it. Thank you.

He was busy sharing our money in billions of dollars an pounds sterling which eventually drove the nation into serious economic crisis which those 4king wailer are blaming Buhari for.
As it is today Buhari still got 100 percent of my vote and support in 2019.
Buhari got my vote and support too comes 2019. Those that says they did this due to elections, even if so, we the citizen has nothing to loose, its still our gain. All govt owe it citizens basic infrastructures and none of them is using their personal money to build, whether APC or PDP. But how many projects does GEJ initiated and completed when election was approaching?

He never rejected any loan.

Matter of fact, he wrote to the NASS suggesting the need for loans for the said infrastructural development.
Many here on Nairaland derided him and his proposal taking their cue from Fayose.

Those that are bitter today should reflect back to 2016 when they kicked against it.

He is not nepotic and his appointments cut across all tribes, equitably distributed.

leave that dude, its obvious he does not know what he is talking about. He seems he is not aware of what has been going on in Nigeria of late. When does Buhari rejects loan, if you hate someone don't mean you will lie against his person. Senate rejected that loan, and Buhari wrote National Assembly regarding that loan.

na lie jor. They've been at most rail project before now. They even completed the one in Abuja since, not now... it was initiated by GEJ and yet they put party sentiments aside and proceeded to complete it. And its been functional ever since for commercial purpose. Go do your research to know when it was actually completed before you say its cos of election, its been completed since...we should not be politicizing everything. even if they do it for election is their loss and we the citizens gain.

D same 'rubbish' in their sight has now constituted their major focus, in infrastructural delivery. Hypocrisy at its peak.
