Orisha (Onitsha) has Edo and Yoruba influence. That's what saved it from the usual abject poverty in the SE

Thank us for being not so abysmal

Because I said he's intelligent doesn't still mean some things doesn't look shady especially Allegation No. 9

Here's my reason: I believe before granting loans, there must be an assurance of recovering that loan facility.
For example, Ebonyi state receives the least (or almost) FG allocation. Their internally generated revenues are majorly spent —yes, judiciously—on infrastructure, and that's why the poverty rate there is higher. That's why the state workers even at level 12 could be boasting of 48,000 naira salary.

Now, that same state was granted loan by AFDB worth 100s of Million dollars to build about 195km of roads.
Can we know how AFDB plans to recover such loans even in 20 years to come?
Aren't they festooning the people in bondage?

Now you're talking like a responsible person. Now you have admit that Igbos are more important in the country. Then why the hates on Igbos.

More important! What sort of jujitsu logic is that?

Ondo has gas, Lagos has gas but shell is taking the risk of higher supply cost to pipe gas from Igboland to yorubaland. It is clear yorubaland is barren. Foul yansh must open when the zoo breaks up.

You mean his exposure is limited to only Aba and Onisha

Lmao

He is not just in pain, he is also confused.

The thread turned on him pretty quickly because he initially thought Alakija's company was not on the list he provided.

Apparently, now he has now reduced his mission to name calling

The man is something else. I admire his efforts even though his exposure is extremely limited. But he tries

How does a reasonable person say that the East doesn't need gas? Gas supply assures industrialization and that's why Buhari wants to copy obasanjos template (a template he got from the east) and push gas pipelines from the south to Abuja and Kano. Give Abuja a gas pipeline, then the northern Lagos alternative might just work.
1) one of the very first gas pipelines put down in Nigeria (before those of ogun and even Lagos) was a state government/shell collabo to service the Aba industrial base (shell reteraites these facts on their site).
It was basically built to power the now comatose glass industries aba and future proposed state factories.

2) It was expanded (2003-05) to accommodate Nigeria breweries and aba malt plant and some other industries ,

3)2014-15 it was expanded again to feed the newly built isreal company "GZi "aluminum can and the South African company glass force plants around umuichichi.

4)2019,the gas pipeline was laid across the aba river all through aba, cutting across the enugu -ph express down to the area around the NNPC petrol depot in Abia(which hosts the largest concentration of industries in aba) it was expanded to supply the gas demand of a "yet to be known multinational company "being built along the enugu-ph express way also shell wanted to see if Tonimas plc, the South Africa Afribev ,udeagabala, planet Industries,the Indian owned valumbra flour mills and a host of other industries would key into it.
5) 2020 saw the pipeline expanded again towards ariaria market to feed the ariaria ipp with gas.

If the SE governors can strong arm the fed's to extend their own gas pipelines from the Assa project in imo to all the states in the region, while on its ungreatful journey to Lagos, the little industrial cluster in umuahia, the huge one in onitsha, the automobile hub in enugu and many more would soon go through a rapid expansion as is happening in ogun, Lagos and aba

Dreams can come true

You can't compare Alakija with Uju in oil sector, she's the only woman in upstream and downstream sector

Don't worry. Let's take cameras to their homes and then we will confirm that Uju is richer than Alakija. Forget about what Forbes, UNESCO, UNDP or NBS have to say. Let's go take pictures and tour their homes

Unlike hair dresser with bottom power


Brittania-U Nigeria bought a stake in the Ajapa Marginal Field, an oil and gas field which is believed to have reserves worth $4.3bn. They took advantage of a government initiative for the development of marginal fields, and raised money through local investors. In additional to Brittania-U Nigeria, Uju Ifejika has established Data Appraisal Co. Ltd. (2001), Nexttee Oil & Gas Trading Co. Nigeria Ltd. (2009), and Brittania-U Ghana Limited (2010).

Why are you so pained? Alakija isn't Uju's mate. She'll call her Hanty

Sunshineg5:
Major player that her company produces 1000 barrels per day

Nigeria produces over 2,000,000 million barrels of oil a day

Her percentage is 0.00001

She deserves to be in Forbes after servicing loans for operational costs

post=89961141:
Uju Ifejika is the owner of Nexttee Oil & Gas Trading Company

Fully funded by Nigerian banks

EzeNdiAra:
Maybe because Ondo is part of Ghana that's why they are trying to spend more money to build pipeline from Imo State to Lagos, instead of Ondo to Lagos.
Same Lagos you zombies claimed they found oil

Oh my God. It is worse than I thought

Why are you guys like this?

Sunshineg5:
Famfa oil is in a joint venture with Chevron.

EzeNdiAra:
If Ondo have enough gas as you claimed, why don't Shell connect pipeline from Ondo to Lagos?

Stop fooling yaself with fake pictures/data

I guess Shell can just go and grab any land and start pumping gas?

Lmao

Pathetic

Any private individual producing films before 1991 was as good as being sent to the firing squad. Those who study mass communications know that laws only allowed Government stations to air films. It was after the liberalization decree by Babangida in 1991 that private ownership of production and distribution of broadcast and video content was allowed. The NFVCB was mandated to control film production same year.

Dokpesi’s Raypower/AIT became the first private station to be given licence and the following year year Living in Bondage became the private movie to be produced. All are in government archive.

The movie we had in the past that was aired in Pen Cinema etc were Hollywood and Indian movies. As a matter of fact many were smuggled into the country. No Cinema showed Nigerian movie, it was straight imprisonment as of then. You guys should stop deceiving the public.

They did. Igbo traders pirated everything and bankrupted the likes of Baba Sala and Ade Love with piracy. That's when the industry went to shit since Yorubas could no longer profitably produce high quality movies due to the useless Alaba boys pirating everything. That was the death of expensive set and celluloid shoots and whole thing went into garbage.

It's taken an international audience to bring back the quality Yorubas once took in making those cinematic movies. And now that it's based on high quality. Guess who's at the top? Yorubas, once again making high budget productions. The Igbos are stuck in the disposable camcorder garbage mindset of the mid 90s popularized by living in bondage. I won't be surprised if SE movies are shot on iPhone 10. I guess you didn't know we once had a thriving movie industry with expensive production.

Yorubas bring excellence in what we do. Igbos bring greed and bad ethics to make a quick buck.

Yoruba didn't pioneer film making in Nigeria. The British actually began filming documentaries before independence. And yes there were indigenous documentaries that time but Government had control over production and distribution of films.

What Hubert Ogunde produced was his threatre plays which he recorded in celluloid as a means to sell to wider audience. There were so many theatre production as of them and many weren't filmed as Ogunde’s.
You Yoruba’s keep saying Ogunde was the pioneer of filming in Nigeria and yet the government records don't agree with you. As long as the government agrees on public stations we're allowed to produced film.

The so-called Ogunde films are recorded theatre production. What is holding you from showing Nigerians the so-called film produced by Ogunde? You know you can't because it will expose you guys as fraud. Wikipedia rewriting won't save you guys.

In the past we had series such as Masquerade by NTA Enugu and Village Headmaster by NTA ibadan. but despite that it didn't start the movie industry. What NTA did was to revolutionized filming in Nigeria.
.
Hiwever, thre real first movie with actual locations and later sold on tape to Nigerians was ’Things fall apart’ which was a joint venture by the BBC and NTA. The Nigerian movie storyline today had it's fitting from that production.

It was through this wonderful production team that the likes if Amaka Igwe etc emerge from to kickstart the Nigerian movie i-started. And with the assistance of Babangida who promulgated the liberation decree, the stage was set for private film and movie production and Living in bondage was birthed in 1992!

You must be silly. People watched Jaiyesimi, Moshebolatan, Aiye, Taxi Driver etc etc in cinemas and on video tapes after cinema release. And then we had Ade Love Afolayan and his movies (his kids carry his legacy)

Even the so called cheap home videos the Igbos copied was popularized by Wale Adenuga of Ikebe Super fame after his cinema release of Papa Ajasco.

The very first home video was Evil Encounter made by Jimi Odumosu in 1980 and Igbo traders pirated the hell out of the movie in Alaba.


Yorubas are really not your mates. We just happen to share countries. We are pioneers in Africa and light years ahead in almost everything

Lol why stop at a century, 5 centuries ago would have been a bigger lie. Omo you can lie.

"Film as a medium first arrived to Nigeria in the late 19th century, in the form of peephole viewing of motion picture devices. These were soon replaced in early 20th century with improved motion picture exhibition devices, with the first set of films screened at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos from 12 to 22 August 1903.The earliest feature film made in Nigeria is 1926's Palaver produced by Geoffrey Barkas; the film was also the first film ever to feature Nigerian actors in a speaking role."


Orlando Martins is one of the first Nigerian actors in modern times.

He was making waves in London in the 1920s as an actor and also entered the Nigerian movie scene.

Yorubas are not your mates by any stretch of your imagination. You should consider yourself fortunate to share a country with the Great Ethnic Nation

When Pete Edochie was on Things fall apart in the 70s/80s and Chika Okpala was in the Masquerade, Yorubawood was non-existent.

Ogunde had been producing movies since the 60s and there were people before him in the 20s to 50s. Get a clue

If you want to talk about cheap junk production in the 90s. I'll give it to the Alaba crew. But Yorubas started this business over a century ago

When world renowned African film maker Sembene Ousmane, told a group of American scholars who asked him about Nollywood that ‘Nigerians had found a way to reach the African audience and that is great accomplishment’, it was considered a ground shaking, epoch making compliment. Considering that African Film makers had hitherto dismissed Nollywood as a Mickey Mouse industry, Sembene’s statement that Nollywood had found the way for the liberation of our people’s cultural, material, economic and creative sensibilities through storytelling was a victory for Nollywood. Africa through Nollywood has finally found a way of telling our own stories our own way. This is the Nollywood we celebrate today.

Nollywood’s arrival in 1992 with Kenneth Nnebue’s Living in Bondage signified a change on the Nigerian filmmaking scene. With video technology, Nollywood brought African filmmaking from the sidelines of global filmmaking into the centre. Finally, an audience that had long yearned for a movie culture they could call their own, found a place they could call home. Withno formal structure, no government aid, no backing from financial institutions, no grants from donor agencies, and solely dependent on informal marketers who were largely importers of electronic appliances, what is today a global phenomenon took off. In merely 20 years, Nollywood has done more for this country than any other art form; it has placed our dear nation on a pedestal that has spiked interest the world over. No other African country can boast of any indigenous artistic expression that equals Nollywood. Its stars are the cynosure of all eyes at international events; they are worthy brand ambassadors for some of the biggest brands in the world; Nollywood has provided employment for and radically changed the lives of thousands of Nigerians; it is the subject of seminars, conferences, workshops and many other creative and intellectual engagements. The Federal government’s NEEDS document recognised Nollywood as far back as 2005. The recent SURE-P document did the same. As I’m sure we all know, Mr. President instituted a $200m fund for the entertainment industry on the strength and popularity of Nollywood. Many scholars and researchers have made a name simply by researching and writing about Nollywood. Documentaries have been made by many filmmakers from across the globe, all in an attempt to understand the peculiarities on what has become the most industrious indigenous filmmaking tradition out of Africa and the black Diaspora.UNESCO even named Nollywood as the 2nd largest Film industry after Hollywood and before Bollywood
