Thanks Im curently talk to my father and will be in Nigeria this summer. I will contact you before my arrival.

At least one man that understands how important it is to take time to make a good movie. If you take time, you gonna make a better movie and better also means more people will be willing to buy your movie. So it actually means more money in your pocket at the end of the day. It took me 4 hours to shoot a ten minute scene properly. It takes time.

Thanks for your answers. Its greatly appreciated. Im coming to Nigeria for few reasons, and one of them is also to learn the culture and my other part is it is important for me. I will be brining some equipment. I plan on buying a cannon xl2. Right now cameras are not that expensive, so more and more people can afford it. Thats wasnt the case 20 years ago. Today, it becomes more affordable. I also been wondering why cant people in Nigeria make some movie like Tsotsi. This movie played around the world, even in Asia and got great responce. I think nigerian banks need to lend money to young and inspired producers and give them a chance to do something great. Also a movie can not be done in a week if you wanna make a quality movie of course. So that needs to be changed, also if you pay your actors and the crew, you better be out there on the set and make sure that everything is perfect, if there was an error done, you better re film it again and again. Thats what its all about. Its not always pretty to film a same scene over and over agin, but thats what make diffrence between a good movie and a bad movie. Editing plays a vital role as well, and of course the script is probably the most important part of any movie. Everything is important in movie making process. I would appreciate any contact you can give me. Thanks again.

P.s that oyinbo thing I grew up in europe and canada, so I was always considered as a black person rather than white, so I caould never use it, and of course I only belive in personal achievments of one, there are plenty of broke ass whites in North America and Europe, and it wouldnt make sense to treat them any diffrent.lol However if it will help me get more jobs, then I gotta use it.lol

Hello, Im half russian and half nigerian. I live in Canada at this moment but I would like to move to Nigeria to work as a cameraman or a director. I have a diploma in video production and worked on some student projects. My father lives in Abuja and I asked him to help me out, but I would like to get in touch with some people by myself. Could anyone tell me how can I reach some producers or studios. Also, how much cameraman gets paid in Naija? I also worked with lighting and video editing. I am also open for collaborations, so when I come to Nigeria this summer, I would be glad to meet some people and hopefully become partners with them. Thanks.

Nigerian and african hockey players may be a rarity in NHL, but they are surely here to stay and possibly they numbers will grow with time. Maybe people in Naija need to start their own hockey league.

Rumun Ndur is 100% nigerian. He was born in Nigeria, but later came to Canada. He was drafted by Bufallo Sabres in 1994. Presently, he plays for Coventry Blaze in the Brittish Elite Ice Hockey League. Rumun has captured the imagination of a section of the Coventry Blaze fanbase and now has a small fan club of his own that travels to the majority of home games from the town of Banbury. He also played for New York Rangers and Atlanta Thrashers, before joining Coventry Blaze.

Jerome Iginla is another great hockey player. He was born in canada, to a nigerian father and canadian mother. He is playing for Calgary Flames and became a captain of that team in October of 2003, which actually made him a second captain with african roots in NHL. Dirk Graham of Chicago BlackHawks was the first. I guess it also makes him the first captain with Nigerian roots though.

Akim Aliu is currently playing for minor leaugue in Canada. He was drafted for Chicago BlackHawks, and is considered as a future star. Hes half nigerian and half ukranian. He lived in Nigeria and Ukraine and at the age of 11 moved to Canada.

Id like to start a topic on nigerian hockey players. I will also put up some photos. There are few african hockey players in NHL already, most of them are nigerians or half nigerians. I hope someone here also enjoys hockey as much as I do. Peace.
