The people who he is being very insensitive to Nigerians for r d cause of his problems. With their anti people policies how many people who can't feed properly il go watch a film in a cinema?

I am just learning that the movie was done in Yoruba.

How did he expect it to sell nationwide when less that 30% of the population understands the language?

Did he really think well before making the movie?

Abi na the usual APC tribalism mentality carry am go where he no know like this?

Oh I see. No wonder he started ass-licking APC.

Jude cannot sell his move in a cinema because the economy is terribly bad

Or because the genre isn't people's interest.... Or no enough publicity... I for one I'm just getting to hear about it today

Everybody is free to support his/her preferred candidate.

However, vote a candidate that can deliver and doesn't have baggages of crime.

The question every voter should ask himself/herself is: the candidate that I'm supporting, can I employ such candidate to run my business or take care of my family?

The choice of candidate a voter support depends on his orientation about life.

Still boils down to there is no reason to bully him or antagonise him for it..... He has every right to vote or support whoever he likes.... It the majority that that wins elections.... If you now mean him supporting just a candidate will influence other making a signing impact on the election then other candidates need to reevaluation.... unanimous victory/decision in a population like Nigeria is delusional... It will never be possible

I'm not bullying him. But as an elder with wisdom, he should have read the room and know that his livelihood depends on the mood of his movie viewers.

Funke Akindele is a politician too but you can't see her uttering gut-wrenching and distasteful comments at her fans because she knows her movie livelihood depends on them.

If elder Jide had been silent, probably it wouldn't turn out like this.

That out of place and inappropriate to such a legend, whom have done and given to the film industry. Inasmuch I don't personally agree with his assessment of the present economic situation under the ruling APC 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.

God bless you sir, I wanted to reply him but I refrained after reading your reply.

I didn't accuse you of bullying him.... It directed to people doing it..... Same way people were speaking ill of Late Taiwo Hassan because he campaigned for APC as a gig/loyalist /tribal sentiments.... It wrong..... if they goofed by uttering gibberish while doing so it okay to call them out with the statement not bashing them cos they are supporting a candidate just like everyone of us is doing

Anyone abusing anyone online because of political difference is most likely an Ipobidient. That is their way of life. The era of nzogbu nzogbu politics is gone. Dont allow an Ipobidient talk you into hating your kinsman in politics. Hausas and Fulanis learnt the hard way in 1966. Inasmuch as they are not in the lead no one is good enough except them.

God and ask TINUBU your brother shebi you dey support am nonsense tribal bigot rubbish

Sensiblerealist:
So you are telling me the Nigerian box office figures that are verifiable are lies.
No wahala

Theres nothing to verify...they are figures that they told u...u just cant verify them .... just like this government throws fake figures that dont match he true economic situation of the country

Gboss247:
Let me ask you a question?
Was going to the cinema ever a priority in Nigeria?

It was never a priority, but the economic situation of the country back then made it affordable... but its no longer affordable these days

clarocuzioo:
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.

Nobody for your lineage fit match Oga Jide Kosoko's achievements.

No cap.

Jayhome24:
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?

Show me where I say na APC make him lost 300M? Na you know where you go when God dey give sense.

Elder with no sense. Adagba madanu.

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.

You know tinubu will replenish your lost money from our national budget, cry more so it gets to the goody goody master

Him dey arse lick them so that him fit cashout from them either in cash or in kind. Na election season be this my comment no too hard for who don pass 14 to understand.

These days, it's easier for everyone to make some research rather than dumping your biased and thought processes on others. There's no need to go back and forth as it's fairly straightforward. These figures are understandably , not 100 percent foolproof if I may say but a lot has evolved in the last 10 years as these cinemas are now in the global stream for market share. That's why you can see the new Spider-Man sequel dominating and others. Greater transparency all round now gives our local cinema more revenue from international movie productions.
Lastly, I don't think you have an idea of how the industry works, hence your myopic and conceited analogy.

He should cry to tinubu to pay the debt for him I think he says there's no hunger in the land

Oga go and sit down, if he has achieved so much as touted, he won't be borrowing #300m. The more reason he is fooling himself around supporting a failed govt at an old age.

NNPC report false profits ... NPA and customer report falsely.... all u need to do is pay some money and they do ur bidding

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 ...

Femi Adebayo just built a multi-milllion studio in Ikeja. So what can you say about this if the economy is bad?
