Ok, so Jesus Christ is the one we ought all to listen to, since after all, we are meant to be His followers, not followers of pastors/Preachers/Prophets/Leaders/GOs etc.
Where did Jesus Christ tell you that God chooses Pastors or Christian leaders?
Why did God through Jesus Christ install His own Spirit inside of every one of His followers, if His plan all along was to send you other people called Pastors or Christian leaders to lead you? Doesn't that make the Spirit of God redundant?

Where in scripture did Jesus Christ uplift the cup in the manner that you continue to? What did Jesus Christ tell His followers as far as authority and leadership?
Ok, so you chastise others for calling their pastors or whatever "papa, but you call your own "daddy". I wonder what Jesus meant when He said to call no man "Abba, Father"?

The Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board came into being as part of President Babangida's liberalisation and regulation policy. That administration had a lot of brilliant people who created a lot of brilliant policies, but the problems were in the implementation.

Basically, the government (on paper) wanted to liberalise the economy and create other sources of income apart from crude oil. In order to create new sectors it needed a lot of regulatory agencies to monitor these sectors. If you look back, you'll notice that a lot of these regulatory agencies were created at the same time: Nigerian Boradcasting Commission, Nigerian Film and Video Censor's Board, National Agency for Food Drug Administration and Control, etc.

The National Film and Video Censor's Board didn't really create a structure when it was initially created. It's main role was to prevent the production of movies that the government did not like. Like I wrote earlier, a lot of those sectors were not really regulated. Would you believe that I watched scenes that contained nudity on the NTA in the late 1980s and early 1990s? There was no government agency to prohibit that. Actions were usually taken after the fact and they were taken arbitrarily. Similarly, drugs were sold anyhow before the creation of NAFDAC. Most of the chemists had no pharmacists. So the censor's board was created to ensure that pornography and other such movies that the government did not want were not produced.

A structure existed during the cinema era. In fact, that was one of the criticisms of Nollywood in its early days, that it did not have a structure, unlike the golden age cinema industry. Movies weren't released anyhow during the golden age. A movie must have its cinema run. It must have its premiere. There was a system for producing and releasing movies back then. That system began to break down in the early 1980s. I'll tell you how it broke down at the end of this post.


As you rightly said, home videos existed before Nollywood was created. I watched the popular and amazing movie "Evil Encounter" (the Cult of Natas) on video in 1983 or 1984. This was the period that the cinema culture began declining. People were afraid to go to the cinema at night because of violent robberies. The swinging Lagos night club scene was also affected. Therefore, people like Jimi Odumosu decided that it made more sense to produce their movies on VHS and sell directly to people.

This also affected the cinema culture in a terrible way. Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala) was used to making a lot of money from the cinemas. That was when the structure was still in place. This meant that he could invest a lot of money into movie making and reap his profits afterwards. However, the early 1980s was a different kettle of fish. People had started realising that you could sell video cassettes and make your money back quickly. Baba Sala released Orun Mooru, but before it could make money for him on the cinema scene, people had pirated it and were selling it on video cassettes. This was the first time that he lost money in the movie industry. He lost a lot of money. The structure had broke down.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

This is getting comical. I have posted so much fact, but you don't post any facts, you simply appear and post your own opinion as if that means anything. The box office takings for Mosebolatan and other movies are in my previous post to you but you can't address that because you don't know what you are talking about. You are the one running around this thread going in circles.

You are probably too young to know that there was a movie industry during the golden age. You rushed into this thread to spew ignorance. You were confronted with facts that you did not know and your only response is to keep running around and posting your opinions as if they are facts.

If it was not a money spinning business, then you should at least tell us what the box office receipts were that made it not to be successful. This is getting to be like comedy. Just look at your response to all the facts I dropped.

princeade86:
sir, compare ccecc portion of lagos-Ibadan express road, to Julius begger and see the one that is best.

princeade86:
China again. I think China have quality materials to use for that project. But I believe julios begger is the best on road construction.

Omojudy:
Present all you know before and all he told and gave you to the consultant you will see in ayinke. Request the same type of scan he did if you know the name.
It's not really money that is my problem afterall people use Lagoon. It's just I don't see any conviction in the story. I have been carried away by doctors before so I don't look at that much.

ambient:

Omojudy:
How did you confirm his diagnosis anyway? By persuasive compassion? All hospitals are taking new cases in all departments, especially govt hospitals because sicknesses other than Covid exist and there are centers for Covid not them!

I have 2 fibroids which caused me some pain and discomfort as they grew with the baby. I checked into the emergency twice when the pain was unbearable and was giving stronger pain relief injections. Outside that, i was prescribed Diclofenac which I probably took 3 or 4 times. I am 35 weeks now. My doctor has said because of the fibroids, I will need to have CS which has been scheduled to happen in a few weeks. So your wife should be fine.

Ohemababy:
Please try to google them. Am sure you will get a contact on their website.

For the fibroid I know another hospital that are specialist in that aspect.
Olan Hospital, Adeniyi Jones.
These one is a more pricey though but they are very specialist in fertility.

You can check both out.
