Exploiting the Nigeria population as usual.

exploiting the population?,so if you have a product that you are selling to prople,it amounts to exploiting the population.continue

Boring.

All this culturalization is getting out of hand.

I love disney for this

Thank you for bonding the Yoruba race (Nigeria, Togo, Benin, ...)

Wow!

Omo na me dey lead "Asiwaju"!!!

Nothing else to do in order to win back the millions of American population that have rejected and left the evil and pedofile infested organizations called Disney.
They are now turning to unsuspecting African countries to make profit.
Warn your kids never to watch Disney because a large chunk of their employees are pedofiles. Their head was included in the Estein’s occultist pedofile ring in the US.

Finally

I hope Disney won't insert gay crap into this.
Time for nollywood to go animation.

I mostly watch animations and big budget movies yr series these days cos I can't stand the horrendous acting of the new Hollywood and nollywood actors.

They didn’t stop us from creating our own. Let us stop this conspiracy theory.o

Manipulation technique

DISNEY will start using paedophilic and Homosexual logos again.

Check out all their animations

Its a way of passing a message thru log
Disney is EVIL

Yoruba to the world.. we're always original and love to promote our culture.

There's a Nollywood animation titled MIKOLO. It's an interesting watch.

Great Concept, nice way to foray into the African Market and also to ride the trend of this new renaissance of African Culture and Music of which Nigeria clearly spearheads
Meanwhile, why do they want us to see Agama in a new way lol

In my opinion, domestic Nigerian purchasing power is poor in dollar terms despite the population. Naira revenues from Nigeria cannot presently impact Disney's dollar based bottom line

Information on the internet states that Disney earned 4 8 billion dollars from major movies revenue last year 2023.
Funke Akindeles 2023 film " a tribe called Judah" grossed over a billion naira ( almost 1 million dollars) and is said to be one of the top grossing films in Nigeria.
That figure is less than 1% of Disney's revenue from movies in 2023
I believe If Disney is doing the film, it is just an experiment and is not expected to be a major revenue generator.The data speaks

Do you know why the great people only allow bad leaders to emerge from their midst

I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.

The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.

He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world

Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.

Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.

With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.

When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.

The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.

Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest
I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.

Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.

Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?

Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?

That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’

Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.

Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!

This is not about being a Killjoy
Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.

His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.

Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.

Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.

Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?

The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.

While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.

For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.

I’d imagine we do not aspire to be Somalia.

Awesome!! I pray that it becomes profoundly successful.

To the editor; thank you for insert the Yoruba tone marks on the title Yoruba word. Iwaju is re-mi-mi so the marks are on the wa and ju.

Before you know it LGBT will subtly be added to indoctrinate children as they have done in the west.

Wotoporiously speaking

Interesting

geoworldedu:

Iwaju means FUTURE

Asiwaju means LEADER

Btruth:
We lead, other follows...... Yoruba l'agba.
...... Proudly Nigeria.

😁😁

Soon people will be considering your vain glorification before they have anything to do with you.
