then they should borrow money if need be.dont they see how Hollywood get big loans from multinationals to make movies and when it comes out it becomes madddd.if it's money that is the hindering factor from making good movies,get a loan because it appears that the more mediocrity and foolishness you can display,the more you will be celebrated in this part of the world and the next thing is that you're back already labelled a celebrity.

There is no how multinational companies will not support you with big loans if you can do something that will wow them.you cannot be doing the same thrash and expect support from big names.if na you nko? Will you financially support a child that you know will not yield good fruits or dividends for you?

The first thing is forget about pirates.position yourself in such a way that multinationals will be fighting among themselves to pump money into your project then when you produce a movie that will blow their mind,if Tomorrow you say you want to do another movie you think they will think twice before pumping money into you?

If they can do that , they'll be the ones protecting your interest because your interest is already their interest and they have a stake in it so they'll use all their resources to kill every pirate.
It's not that easy o...

After making an expensive movie, you also know the tickets to watch it in cinema's will be expensive right?

The majority of Nigerians do not have cinema movie culture. Most of us will prefer to wait out the cinema run and download it free online after... This percentage is very wide, and the they're the majority of the likely target group..

The middle income earners won't see the need to bring out N2500 to go to the cinema and watch a movie they could buy 150naira in pirated copies.
We have a weak Copyright system in the country at the moment.

The lesser income earners that eats from daily proceeds will not bring out N2500 to go and watch a movie at the cinema or buy an original DVD at N1500 for instance.

The average Nigerians do not have that much zeal either as everyone is focused on their families first and rarely have time for entertainment except on Home videos.
And most of them are only free on Sundays and Christmas holidays.

The rich, well...I don't know the stats here, but they cannot make up a large majority of movie goers.

A lot of things to consider, but it can be done. If cinema's are built in most towns and cities all over the country, market it well and induce that cinema going culture, then Nollywood will start making big budget movies.

Do you know how many people based their decision on the 'preliminary' report?
My point is clear, China had knowledge of how dangerous it was far from when they announced it.
If they had not been secretive, things would have been better.

However you are free not to be guided at all.
Unlike China, the rest of the world had 2 months advance warning, a luxury China didn't have...

Blame game are a weak tactics of incompetent foöls who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and inactions.

I don't know why you are supporting recklessness and ineptitude on the part of US and Chinese progress haters.

Why are the rest of Asia not complaining then?

I heard this light skinned short man who was a brand ambassador for Etisalat, he's also a comic actor.(hafiz or something like that) I heard he's a lecturer and I get very appalled when he shoots movies with semi illiterates and you who is a lecturer in theatre arts cannot bring a level of sanity and depth into movie making.it surprises me a lot
Bro, you do know that there are a lot of factors that are considered before shooting a movie. Cost of production is one of them... Casting, Location, Extras, etc are always the top of the list.

Most Nigerian Producers don't have the cash to make good movies, so they make budget movies with bad CGI and the rest... You can't really blame them entirely anyway shaa...Film making is expensive!

film making is not my area of specialization.however anyone with basic common sense who has seen better quality movies and how things operate in saner climes will see these things

Nonetheless my recommendation is that nigeria needs to have a professional organization (nollywood objective film critic if you will call it) who are technocrats in film making and production.they should be made up of people with sound expertise such as professors, PhDs and researchers who will do a thorough screening and assessment, remove irrelevant storylines,guide the producers on angles to take in producing better quality assurance movies,the cast need a thorough reorientation on how to interpret movies.if they need to register in Hollywood movie academy they should do so.anything that will bring a professional touch to movie making not all these shallowness we see around.these training might take 5 to 10 years with lots of rigorousness ,stress, financial commitment and meticulousness put into it and by the time they come out with their knowledge and training,my o my... even Hollywood will begin to see them as a threat.they need to stop using 1 week to shoot crappy movies.thats just the basics
All you said is the truth bro.

If only the greedy producers will hear!

But nollywood is portraying nigeria in a false light.they make it seem as if most Nigerians are diabolical and fetish and before they can take any decisions they have to Go to one babalawo or alfa.its annoying and irritating



Then the costumes they use even for their royal movies is arrant nonsense.imagine using cardboard as crown with all these Christmas decorations attached to it


The lightening and noise from the background nko? Horrific.when they now want to make matters worse they'll be playing some annoying songs from the background telling the audience subtly about what will happen next.when they now want to impress with grammar, they'll flop.the thing I noticed is that these guys are not just ready to improve their craft and evolve.imagine repeating the same story line for 10 years plus even when other serious life events has taken over that plot and when you tell them,they won't take it as correction but as criticism.

Too local and razz, mediocre production.unintelligent storylines with abrupt ending lipsrsealed
You just described Nollywood bro.


However, you can still be one of the new Film makers to usher Nollywood into a new era...if you are into Film Making or if you will go into Film Making.
You have good knowledge of how things should be done, so it's going to be a welcome development.

It wasn't really blown out of proportion bro, hope you know that the doctor is dead sha. He died of the same covid-19 that he was trying to warn people about. By the way bro, I'm only open to democratic governments. If you think the media is always posting lies, do you mind relocating to North Korea then??
I'm pro-democracy...

So what of the other doctors all over the world that have died cuz of the virus? Their government killed them too to protect the truth?
Italian doctors, English doctors, American doctors are contracting the disease despite on PPE's, and some are dead cuz of it...

I don't think the media is lying, the media always lies...this is something that should be obvious to every right thinking person.
You can't sustain a non-bias media if you stick to sourcing only true informations... Don't you understand that the media decides the information that is best for you?
Take a look again at my first post you are attacking.

exactly.thats where nollywood gets it wrong.they think it's by investing money without paying attention to the technicalities and almost perfect storylines.especially the Yoruba nollywood.theyll be repeating and recycling boring and predictable storylines that have become nauseating.they are also too sexist and sterotypical in their movies with tacky and lousy Yoruba fat actresses with razz makeup and costumes lipsrsealed
Lol...yeah.

Nollywood no dey try...they seem to be stuck, no improvement.
All their movies revolve around romance, church and village kings.
It's a pity...but then again, i don't really blame them seeing as most of the population do not understand foreign movies and their sophistication...

Why should they?
When China and WHO already told them there is no human to human transmission

When communist china was shrouding every thing in secret
Please you should stop blaming the victims
You are now lying.


You are basing your argument on an irrelevant evidence... How can you be basing your total conclusion on a preliminary report about the virus when nothing much was known about the virus?
A virus that is new to everyone in which nobody knew anything about its characteristics.
You purposefully chose to ignore every other evidence to the contrary...that's blind argument.

As at Jan 20-26, they reversed that report after more serious findings, with WHO warning about a pandemic.

Why didn't South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan, Russia, etc complain about the disease seeing as they're all closer to China than rest of the world.

Obviously, only incompetent nations always looking for who to blame will want to accuse others falsely... spearheaded by USA.

Why because as far you are involved you want the best for your self and family which is the American ideals but you keep preaching Chinese ways to others. Africans and hypocrisy na 5and6

Chinese don't have home grown technology, they are just copy cats

You have a point too, my only objection is to the fact that the Chinese doctor that raised alarm over covid-19 was detained by the police, it seems they had something to hide by that act of theirs.
If he was arrested, I'm sure it's because such act of spreading a bad news is going to cause chaos, panic and disorder in the society at large.
Every institution/organisation/government has a procedure for proper dissemination of information of such magnitude.

In otherwords, he didn't follow procedures probably... However, news of his detaining has been overblown by the media, sponsored by USA to smear China.

With this comment I think you are a paid agent working for the Chinese government or you are a Chinese citizen because I have heard this trash from one particular Chinese media house before
A sensible person will research first before making illogical conclusions...

So anyone that decides to stick with the truth is a Chinese agent?
So anyone that doesn't agree with your opinion is a Chinese agent?

You need to have your brain re-examined.

What you should ask yourself is why are you supporting the Americans? What are they doing for you to actually elicit this defense on their behalf? Or you think they're the good guys?

So why did WHO
Gives false information that is no known human to human transmission
Because at the time they released the information, that was the knowledge they had of the disease.

Once new knowledge came in, it was also broadcasted to everyone.

You dont really know what you are saying.
China told WHO who posted it on their twitter and web page that the virus is not transferred from Human to human.

This is not any western media. This is what is obvious evn from Africans there.

All you this Anti-US people, you need to face the truth sometimes.

US was the first country to try block travel from China. China responded by claiming US is exaggerating the virus issue. I watched this on CGTN myself and not western media. All the whole people that were trying to raise alarm then were silenced by Chinese government even though some of them later speak on some social media app.
Europe too believed China story and didnot lockdown, see the effect over the whole europe.
Please be properly guided sire.


January 20 - 26
On January 20, China reported a third death and more than 200 infections, with cases also reported outside Hubei province including in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Meanwhile, a Chinese expert on infectious diseases confirmed human-to-human transmission to state broadcaster CCTV, raising fears of a major outbreak as millions travelled for the Lunar New Year holiday.

The cities of Wuhan, Xiantao and Chibi in Hubei province were placed under effective quarantine on January 23 as air and rail departures were suspended. By the end of the week, more areas were placed under lockdown affecting a total of 56 million people.

The WHO said that the outbreak did not yet constitute a public emergency of international concern and there was "no evidence" of the virus spreading between humans outside of China.

ComeAndobo:
All the pictures you posted was after WHO and China said the virus can't be transferred from humans to humans. So why did they take those measures afterwards, that was why people started making those comments.
It was preliminary studies.

Remember that this was a new disease that nothing was known about as at the time.
Even up till now, new symptoms of the disease continue to emerge... In the past, it was believed to be a disease that attacks the lungs, but that is no longer true.

How can you blame people who are still conducting an entirely new findings on something no one knows anything about?
It's wrong, and does not make for sound judgement.

China reported the situation as soon as possible to WHO...

Western Media do not care about the truth, especially as regards to China.
They want China to take the blame for their foolishness, but they had 2 months advance warning from China and WHO, something China didn't have...yet, see who is blaming the other for concealment...

China did not grant WHO or other foreign counties health organisations access to observations of the virus untill almost a month. That was bad and shady.
Another false news... China reported the situation as early as possible...

On December 31 last year, China alerted the WHO to several cases of unusual pneumonia in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. The virus was unknown.
Several of those infected worked at the city's Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, which was shut down on January 1. As health experts worked to identify the virus amid growing alarm, the number of infections exceeded 40.

Why didn't China stop foreign airlines if they knew it was this serious?
They allowed people to enter and leave at will.

If they had taken extra measure the whole would know how serious it is and ban anything coming or going to China
This is what happened:

The cities of Wuhan, Xiantao and Chibi in Hubei province were placed under effective quarantine on January 23 as air and rail departures were suspended. By the end of the week, more areas were placed under lockdown affecting a total of 56 million people.
This was done as soon as they realised the disease was airborne.

[b]February 3 - 9

On February 6, authorities in Malaysia reported the country's first known human-to-human transmission while the number of people infected in Europe reached 30.

On February 7, Li Wenliang, a doctor who was among the first to sound the alarm over the coronavirus in China, died, and Hong Kong introduced prison sentences for anyone breaching quarantine rules.

On February 9, the death toll in China surpassed that of the 2002-03 SARS epidemic, with 811 deaths recorded and 37,198 infections. An investigative team led by experts from the WHO departed for China.

1. They imprisoned and killed the Doctor that first raised alarm about the outbreak.
2. They said the virus wasn't airborne.
3. They agreed the death was underreported which they later upgraded to 50% more.


They could easily enforce mask and lockdown because they run a totalitarian government.
