cocolacec: The igbos claims to be responsible for the high IGR in Lagos state.Every Nigerian knows the igbos are scattered along the length and breadth of Nigeria and so this high IGR should be duplicate everywhere the Igbos live and do business across Nigeria.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime has banned the production of Nigerian movies that glamourise villains.
Specifically, Adedayo Thomas, CEO of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB), warned movie producers that if they produce films that only glamourise villains such movies will not be approved. He urged filmmakers to produce movies that depict Nigerian cultures positively and not glamourise evil.
On Monday, Mr Thomas stated this in Calabar at the opening of a five-day capacity building on censorship and classification for selected University of Calabar students in the Theatre and Media Studies department.
”Nigerian films and movies should not depict reality but also give out moral lessons at the end. Our films should identify a societal problem, go into action and at the end of the day, show what happens to perpetrators of evil in the film,” says Mr Thomas. “But when you produce a particular film and you glamourise or celebrate someone who has done terrible things against the culture or humanity without punishment, we don’t approve such films.”
He reminded filmmakers that the government was monitoring movies produced to see if “the film is morally right and protect our children from societal ills.”
The NFVCB boss added, “Even though we are aware that some defaulters still produce movies without passing through NFVCB, we want to make students understand the activities of the board so that it becomes part of them.”
He added that the workshop would also look into hate speech in movies, YouTube, Google, and script development into movies.
The NFVCB was established by Act 85 of 1993 to regulate film and movie production both for import and export.
Umahi is a Fulani stooge. He has no right to advocate on behalf of Igbo people. It is actually the Efulefus who support Umahi because he is the Chief Efulefu.
NNEWIsuper: To all the efulefus criticising Umahi for making a case for South East presidency what are you doing towards enhancing the igbo progress or your duty is only to criticise?
Eyah, see as MADRID GAY can only comment on non contentious stories like this. Shame and embarrassment has driven the Gay One away from performing his duty as a BMC.

(CNN)The World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina was suspended minutes after kick-off at the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil after Brazilian health officials came onto the pitch and escorted multiple Argentinian soccer players away.
The Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) had requested support from the country's Federal Police to prevent four Argentinian players from participating in the qualifier, saying that the players in question made false statements upon arriving in Brazil, omitting that they had been in the UK in the past 14 days.
According to Brazilian Covid-19 regulations, any passenger who visited the UK 14 days before arrival cannot enter the country.
"Anvisa considers the situation as a serious health risk, and therefore advised the local health authorities to determine the immediate quarantine of players, who are prevented from participating in any activity and must be prevented from remaining in Brazilian territory," the organization said in a statement.
According to CNN affiliate CNN Brasil, Anvisa asked for the deportation of Emiliano Martínez, Emiliano Buendía, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero -- all English Premier League players.
"Due to the decision of the game's referee, the match organized by FIFA between Brazil and Argentina for the World Cup qualifiers is suspended," CONMEBOL announced via Twitter.
CONMEBOL continued, "The referee and the match delegate will raise a report to FIFA's Disciplinary Committee, which will determine the steps to follow. These proceedings will abide adhere to current regulations."
FIFA confirmed on Twitter that the match had been suspended and that further details would "follow in due course."
Argentinian Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia released a statement saying, "What happened today is really unfortunate for football, it's a very bad image. Four people came on to interrupt the match to make a statement and CONMEBOL asked that the players go to the dressing room.
"Here, you can't speak about any lying because there's a health legislation that regulates every South American tournament. The health authorities of each country approved a protocol which we followed to the letter."
Argentinian national team manager Lionel Scaloni added that the events that transpired made him "very sad" and that both teams wanted to play the match.
"This makes me very sad. I'm not looking for any guilty party," Scaloni said in the statement, "Whether something happened or didn't happen, it wasn't the right moment to make that intervention."
"It should have been a party for all involved, to enjoy the best players in the world. I would like that the Argentinian people understand that, as head coach, I have to defend my players," Scaloni said. "At no moment did they notify us that that couldn't play the match. We wanted to play the match, and so did the Brazil players."
Ezekwesili is on the Board of directors at Airtel and also a member of the board of governors in Nexford University, Washington DC, the School of Public Policy of Central European University, Vienna Austria, and she's also the head of the Center for Global Leadership at Tufts University, Massachusetts, USA.
It's actually kind of dumb to compare someone with her intellectual capacity to someone like Aisha Yesufu.
Yesufu is more like Femi Fani Kayode.
Penguin2: This idiot damaged herself with BBOG thinking APC would reward her after they’ve won.
I’m sure she was greatly disappointed that while Miss Hadiza Bala Usman was rewarded, she and Oby Ezekwesili were left groaning in pains.
she used EndSARS to curry herself back into the good side of public perception but that doesn’t mean we have forgotten her treachery.
Now, this idiot is calling PDP a terrorist party. What would she call APC?
Jesus kept a moneybag which He used to give charity to the poor. Judas was responsible for taking care of the money bag, but Judas was a thief and he used to steal from the bag!
John 12:6
He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
Matthew 19:23-24 was simply telling Christians not to trust money or material things. Jesus had nothing against wealthy people, otherwise he wouldn't have had wealthy disciples.
Focus on taking care of your wretched, impoverished, beggar mûdslîmés and stop misinterpreting the Bible.
AntiChristian: Waoh! You remind me of one guy who abuses the poor northern Muslim to gain likes for Christianity. Contractkiller! Hmm! Looks more like your moniker! Quote the verse where he had a money bag! Why do you guys love telling lies? Jesus had no house, no horse/donkey,.... He was poor even according to your standards! What is the account balance of Jesus versus that of your pastor?
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:23-24
Sigh. Christianity isn't the "White Man's" religion. There were African Christians before there were British Christians. Just like Africans, Europeans were also pagans before they became Christian.
The whites I know wouldn't have brought their religion to Africa if it were truly the WAY to heaven, they will keep it to themselves and would never had allowed it to the reach of 'the inferior black man'.
They brought it to enslave Africa and render them useless, the brought their fake story of their jesus doing this and asked us to continue praying while they in turn use their brains.

AntiChristian: May Allah make Salah easy for us at its prescribed time.
Stop combining Salah together without any valid excuse!
Know Salah Know Islam
No Salah No Islam.
First deed to be judged is prayer Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The first action for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, he will have prospered and succeeded. If they are lacking, he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, then the Almighty Lord will say: See if My servant has any voluntary prayers that can complete what is insufficient in his obligatory prayers. The rest of his deeds will be judged the same way.”
But most mûdslîmés are poor and wretched. They can't afford food let alone building two apartments for two wives. Does that mean 4 apartments for 4 wives?
Even before this fact check, I knew that the dullard was only repeating the tutorial he has been receiving from LIAR MUHAMMAD. That's why nobody should be surprised that they are trying to muzzle the press. They want to make BMC the only source of news in this country. Dullard keeps feeding lies to his slaves and they chop it the same way yahoo boys dey chop sh*t
And where is my state? You assume I'm from the East and as far as you're concerned, that makes you better? I've suffered my fair share of stupidity on this forum, but yours must rank in the top 0.1%. Just to humour you, I'm not Igbo and I lived in Ibadan for the first 15 years of my life, so the shame of your ignorance is squarely on your shoulders And I still maintain my original point that Ibadan people are the most unaccomplished, vulgar, crude and illiterate lot in Yorubaland, majority of whose youths only aspire to be Danfo drivers, Micra drivers, okada riders, agberos, NURTW touts and area boys.
The ambition of the average Ibadan youth is to smoke weed and ride okadas in the day time, then attend a Fuji concert by Saheed Osupa or Pasuma where he will drink to stupor from night to the early hours of morning.
I know you guys inside out
Samdaresd: This shows, how much you've wasted to acquire western education. You had learnt nothing! Go back to study and you will realise Ibadan people are educated than the entire people in your state.
You only succeeded in proving my point. These are far better and more aesthetically pleasing than the wretchedness and lack of sophistication that is the hallmark of primitive African "architecture." Some of these aren't even houses, they're cottages and they're hundreds of years old, but still look better than the best modern Africa has to offer. What a shame.
Eriokanmi: I can also go too Google like you're doing if they would make you understand me and am so sure you know what I meant. See the pictures marching my description below
