When you talk of film making in Africa you talk of Nigeria, the largest on the continent. Other African nationals are relocating to Nigeria to breakthrough and you are talking about Ghana? Though, that's his country. But why talk about Tanzania before Nigeria? I've never seen any Tanzania movie before in my entire life.

Why would someone that doesn't think about Nigeria play Okonkwo?

He's a stand up guy quite alright, but I've never seen the sisterhood ganging up to defend any man before. The "me too movement" seems to be only designed for bringing down successful men.

Only rapey men have problems with the me too movement. If a successful man is a molester then he deserves to be brought down. If he’s not, he has nothing to worry about. I can bet you Idris supports the me too movement

Give me an example of one man the me too movement has exonerated?

Can’t be it. Idris is a stand up guy.
Only rapey, misogynistic and child molesting men have such things to worry about. The sisterhood will march in the streets to defend Idris. When we see a good man, we know and support him to the last. Honestly it would be a HUGE miracle if anything criminal ever comes out about this guy.

I was in Ghana with an American friend and I was shocked at how focused Ghana was on tourism. Very structured and making lot of money from their past slavery.

We visited Badagry as well and I was ashamed with what I saw. The slavery artefact was kept with a family in one shop. I was shocked. Former Governor Fashola was building a gigantic slavery ship but it has been abandoned.

My friend told me Nigeria was not serious and she ended up opening her company in Ghana.

Nigeria needs to do better in tourism.

They've been using AI in foreign movies for some time now. The most popular one people might recall is Paul Walker from Fast and Furious.
They guy died but they used AI to act his role to perfection.
If the news of his death was not out, people won't notice a single difference. Actors should go learn a skill as in a few years, they'll use CGI and AI to make complete high budget movies.
Probably you didn't notice that's the catch

lol really ? You mean in his entire 52 years he hasn’t groped any woman or coerced a woman into sex or inappropriately touched a woman ? Listen every man alive has a potential case against him because we have all done what woke culture is now calling criminal activity, it’s just a matter of you getting fame and the powers that be deciding to open your book. They will always find something on anybody. That time you toasted that woman and she came to your apartment and she pretended not to want sex but you sweet talk her into it ? Well that’s 20 years in jail if they open your book. So tell me are there any innocent men ?

How can you compare AI with human beings? Is there any AI character that can make you watch a movie? Is AI human?

It is his movie. It wasn’t like he was picked.


I agree with you Amaka. We have lots of home-based talented actors and they want Idris to play the role. Okonkwo should be played by a Nigerian, and not just any Nigerian, but an Igbo man specifically. Some of these black celebrities don't really rate Nigeria; they only remember Nigeria whenever they want to cash out. However, I believe the reason he was picked is because of his popularity and influence, which will give the movie the publicity it needs.

victorazy:
AI & CGI have been in Movie Industries for ages don't even argue it.

Some characters in movies are not originally played by the said casts, they were carried out by diff people called "stunts" wearing the motion sensors especially when the role is dangerous then later it will be substituted with the original person and you won't tell.

Anything that will boost the Africa movie industry is welcome. We need a whole new dimension of movies produced by Africans. So you are welcome.

samuelson06:
Wow! That's some serious sh!t

cococandy:
I don’t live with Idris but yes if you ask me to bet, I’d bet he’s never done anything sexually to any woman without her consent. I’ll wait to be proven wrong.

There’s nothing like every man has a potential case against him. Not every man is a rapist, molester or sexual assailant. Don’t try to use this line to maybe feel better about something you’ve done that you shouldn’t have.

diamond68:
this same idris ?

https://news.sky.com/story/female-writers-say-idris-elba-intimidated-and-disrespected-them-11756759

listen you dont know anybody privately, not even your own adult child, if you have one

victorazy:
Yep! Those guys are creative.
As you are now, if they want to feature you in a movie and yet you did not patispate, all they need to do is to 3D Scan your body to capture the contours of your body that's all. After the acting and motion capturing, during shading they will merge your body then render, that's all.

cococandy:
We’re talking about sexual misconduct no? This is not even in the same league or anything close to it. I don’t know why you guys fall over yourselves to convince women that all men are possibly sexual predators but when a women says it, then it’s becomes a problem. Y’all have to pick a side.

That being said, I never swore Idris never did anything wrong ever in his life. I said I believe and I’d bet (until proven wrong) that he has never sexually assaulted anyone. It’s my belief not a fact. If someone comes forward to accuse him, I won’t dismiss them him/her and claim they’re trying to take him down.

If you like go and find another link where he’s disagreeing with his producers to try connect it somehow to his totally unrelated conversation
