But why must you people wait on Nigeria to help you turn your region to Dubai? Yorubas were able to single-handedly build the first skyscraper in sub-Saharan Africa in the early sixties amongst many other firsts, without FG support. Till today no single building in the entire SE and SS can match that Cocoa House edifice in height and elegance 50-years later. After the Lagos and Abuja CBDs, no other CBD in Nigeria can match Ibadan's up till today (as attached below). Why can't you people demonstrate flashes of greatness like we Yorubas without depending on the FG?? Common 2nd Niger Bridge your people can't even come together and build it without FG. Smh.

I am sorry to have rained on your empty parade. All these orishirishi craps, the only pictures to tickled my fancy were Banke Kuke Textile and Orisha Couture outfits. I know Yari.ba are overly loudmouthed and a twinkle of light from the abyss, they will tuned into a full moon.

Dedetwo:
Jennifer Ifeyinwa Udorji is a Yari.ba woman?

Dedetwo:
If Nigeria had created Lagos in Igbo land, Dubai will not even be considered as a match.

Dedetwo:
[s]All these so-called and alleged achievements by Yari.ba are lightweight and not tangible. Nigeria government created Lagos with the enabling factors that made it possible showcase talents that would have been ordinarily not possible.[/s]

Amazing! Nigerian Movies Gross over N1 billion in 2016

Here’s how 2016’s Top 10 Chart looks like for Nigeria – Please note that not all the figures are verified rather we have used Filmhouse Cinema’s weighted average market share to come up with box office estimates for films not released by FilmOne.

The Wedding Party – FilmOne Nollywood – Over N500 million - Yoruba Producer
A Trip to Jamaica – FilmOne Nollywood – N178.5 million - Yoruba Producer
Batman Vs Superman – Warner/Crimson – N140 million (Estimated)
Captain America – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N119 million (Estimated)
Suicide Squad – Warner/Crimson – N116 million (Estimated)
London Has Fallen – Independent/Okhma – N90 million (Estimated)
Doctor Strange – Marvel/Disney/Crimson – N85 million (Estimated)
Gods of Eqypt – Independent/Okhma – N80 million (Estimated)
Mechanic Ressurection – Independent/Okhma – N75 million (Estimated)
76 – Silverbird Nollywood – N72 million (Estimated)


From AY Makun‘s “30 Days in Atlanta”, Ebonylife‘s “Fifty”, Omoni Oboli‘s “Wives on Strike” to Kunle Afolayan‘s “The CEO”, and now “A Trip to Jamaica”, “The Wedding Party”, “93 Days”, “76” and many more, it is clear that the Nigerian movie industry has the potential to rake in billions of dollars in revenue.

The Wedding Party, Nigeria’s latest blockbuster movie, has broken box-office records at every milestone since it was released nationwide on December 16 2016. It took just two weeks to eclipse the record of N178 million, held by ‘A Trip to Jamaica’, emerging with a staggering N200 million before the New Year weekend was over. Both films led a strong lineup of popular Nigerian films in 2016, including ‘Wives on Strike’, ‘The CEO’, ‘93 Days’ and ‘76’.

The Wedding Party debuted with the biggest opening weekend in Nollywood history with N36 million; the best-ever opening week with N66 million; the biggest week ever with N110 million; and a jaw-dropping Christmas box-office total of N146 million.
