So na apc make him.lost N300m in movie? Wetin concern apc with movies lost? Oh God wetin do your brain dis boy biko wetin na?

Na today pipu dey lost money in movie? Na apc wan go watch movie? Na apc dey feed him? Na apc asked him to do movie?

APC must bail him out o.

He put his head on the line by supporting you fuuuuls.

He didn't promote the movie properly. The likes of Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham that are always dancing and doing all sorts of skits to promote their movies understand the game. Movie promotion goes beyond advertisement or trailers. You need to go extra mile to put your work out there these days

Sorry sir o. U need to shout louder o so that tinubu go give u some subsidy money. Since u decided to clap for the thieves stealing our common wealth. U are on ur own sir.sort ur gbese let me sort mine.

At least he spoke the truth unlike funke akindele wey de lie ... Toyin Abraham wey de lie ... the economy of the country can't make anyone make money from the cinemas unlike during the PDP years coupled with not Netflix , content creators, YouTube, tiktok and the rest that serve as alternative entertainment.... Funke will like that she made billion so that people rush to the cinema to wash the movie...using psychology.... as long as the economy is dead... forget what they tell u on paper ... spending power is dead as well.... 95% of Nigerians are on survival mode ... cinema for 5 to 10 k per person no de agenda now ...

Lost three wives!

Of course your movie can't sell because of poor story line and production
Little wonder he has been fooling around asslickung APC, so he can get a stash of the loot being shared.
Jude is a disgrace to legends in the movie industry.

The economy is bad... no movie can sell.... anyone saying they are selling are telling lies .... people that can afford to watch movie for cinema no reach 0.5 percent for naija ...

If only you stand to advocate for a 'well run economy' that puts PEOPLE at the centre of development, your business will become their business.

Because the only thing prospering today outside government are government contractors and I don't think they are in sufficient numbers to watch your movie onto profit.

You see, my dear man. When an economy tanks....it takes everyone down with it one way or the other.

Veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker Jide Kosoko has said he is in debt after his film, Eleko: Oba Esugbayi, failed to recoup its production cost of over N300m in cinemas.

Kosoko disclosed this in a now trending clip from his interview on African A-List published on October 17, where he explained that the money used to produce the film came from investors who expected returns on their investment.

According to him, the film which premiered in the cinemas in March, failed to generate enough revenue to recover its production cost, while the little money earned was shared among those involved.

“My film ‘Eleko: Oba Esugbayi’ that recently came out and we took to the cinemas, cost us over N300 million. Do I have 300 million? You should know that some people gave it to me and it was not that they dashed me, they invested in it and we took the film to the cinemas,” he said.

He added, “Different things happened and we did not earn our money back. The little that was earned was split. As I am, if you hear someone with debt dancing around their neck, it is me.”

PUNCH Online had earlier reported that Kosoko revealed he had been living with diabetes since 1996, saying his decades-long experience with the condition had given him a better understanding of his health.

“I became diabetic in 1996; I understand my health better than some doctors do. Do not misquote me. I am not saying I know how to do everything, I just do not want to die,” Kosoko said.

He also spoke about his personal life, disclosing that he had lost three wives, including the mother of his daughter, Bidemi Kosoko, who died during childbirth.

“I lost my wife during childbirth; that’s Bidemi’s mother. I have lost three wives,” he said.

He should have consulted me before making the movie.

Millions of Yorubas in Brazil will like to watch his movie.

Rewrite and send, ok?

Cinemas don’t sell lately. Nigerians don’t have enough cash to spare. Do YouTube and co.

Again you must add politics. Your brand of politics of hatred will not survive this generation. We know when your candidate loses the election you will still come here to wine. You have a right to support your own party, he also has that same right as well , how is that too hard for you to understand?

E pain am.

4+4=8

Liar grigory no way for him dat is wy e dey pain una. Ntoor!!

suckprick:
Unwise man. You wan produce movie of 300m, you go produce yoruba movie(I am not being tribalistic). A movie restricted to one tribe will never sell as much as the one in English that anyone (all tribe) can see. Learn from Funke Akindele.

You have a myopic view on this subject. There are so many non English language movies, series that have done well.

True, movies won’t sell now. Nigerians don’t have cash to spare, at best put on YouTube. When an economy is bad, it usually have round effect. Ordinarily that movie should have sold much more since March!

zoghys:
That out of place and inappropriate to such a legend, whom have done and given to the film industry. [b]Inasmuch I don't personally agree with his assessment of the present economic situation under the ruling APC [/b]which is within his right to either critic or agree with, your outburst and insult is needless and not in tandem with the omoluabi ethos.

Oga support your APC with your full chest and stop the pretense . The bolded is what you say on every comment that has APC in it.

You're a full time APC tinubu supporter, no dey pretend. This your format don cast

He'll bail yll out again

BigYash:
Lick more of Apc ass ,they will give you 1billion. Idiot...

Lazy pipu are really crying oo sorry nwanem stop crying and gnashing ya teeth.

Fashionista01:
Why is he lamenting? He is not suppose to complain because all is well if you are an APC.
He should please channel his complaints to the person he is supporting and campaigning for and live us hell alone.
Enjoy the outcome of your output Sir in peace.

Remember just as you can support your candidate, he also has that same right. Without getting bullied online.

I can't expect everyone to be rational, so no qualms when I read some not so sensible reply.

You have said it all. And he would turn and be mocking Nigeria youths, that they are impatient and lazy!

It's people that have overflow of cash that go to Cinema. People that are managing life what are they going to do there. That is the result of bad policy. Before now, people can flex any how.
Well, it's your constitutional right to back any party or politician but it is an hypocrite to be dying in silence when you know the source of your predicament. Nonsense!

Thats what alot fail to understand.... if an average person can only visit the cinema one a year ... then there's a serious economic problem.... as u rightly said ... its cheaper to put data 2k , and watch like 10 movies on YouTube and Netflix ...than to spend money on transportation thats very expensive compared to b4 ...then spending on the cinema ticket ...all will cost about 15 to 20k , plus transport.... if u are on a date , thats an extra 5 to 10k ... I will rather invite the date to my house to Netflix and chill... which is far cheaper .... most Nigerians are using their money to feed and take care of groceries first ...which is very expensive these days .... cinema is not a priority again... will rather use that money to go the beach , which is even cheaper


As long as there's another option for visual entertainment... then the cinema industry is cooked

Lots like you are those who forget your many tantrums online to vote a wrong candidate on election day because of crumbs. I judge based on performance not any political association, so I say it the way I know it not based on any affiliation or association. If you're partisan, that's your problem not me and it will never happen, so stop thinking we're all delusional.

I'm sure with that kind of budget, they would have produced something worthwhile but there's the A-factor missing. Next time, he should tap into the connect if dem Afolayan, Toyin Abraham, Funke and coy cuz those ones seems to always do fantastic at the screens

NIGERIAJAGAJAGA:
Cinema films not easy at all. Baba should have give the film to one of his daughters, due to they still young, they will market it well with vibes. Or even sell it to someone like funke,toyin, odun or femi.

Someone with moral upbringing will never support insulting elders because you don't agree with him. Your reply shows lots about who you're.
