you are even a bigger fool , why would APC take glory for the policy of an opposition Government and try to use it against a critic , you are even a bigger hypocritical fool for failing to realise that the same APC goverment has no policy for locally manufactured goods like Automobiles , shoes , health care but prefer to ban foreign production of movies .

Why cant the same APC ban foreign importation of shoes and leather products , or stop the foreign use of medical hospitals why must it be the music industry that they want to ruin with their inept and directionless policy aimed at killing the thriving music career of igbo musicians who are now firmly in control fo the music scene, Ndi Ala.

You were being reasonable in ur statement in the 1st paragraph, but wot has igbo got 2do with this biko Even wizard, Tiwa n davido signed by international labels have not mention yoruba in dis matter...... U were on point until u became tribalistic.... U can do bera

LIKEWISE ME, ON THIS I SUPPORT THE GOVERMENT 1,000%, IS NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS THAT MADE P SQUARE AND THE REST OF THEM, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE BACK TO THE SOCIETY THAT MAKE THEM, WHEN ARE THEY ALSO GOING TO CREATES MILLIONAIRES? NIGERIA HAVE BEAUTIFUL AND OUTSTANDING PLACES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WHERE THEY CAN SHOT THERE VIDEOS, AND AS PER BEAUTIFUL BIRDS NIGERIA HAS NEVER BEEN IN SHORT SUPPLY, SO WHY SHOULD THEY GO AND MANUFACTURE THERE PRODUCT OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY AND COME BACK AND SELL THEM TO US? WHILE THEY CAN DO THAT HERE NIGERIA, is how the south africans, the kenyans and other countries comes to nigeria to manufacture there products and take them back home to sell?

Typical Aboki don't go and find something productive to do with your life, stay there and be looking for free hand outs. P square worked very hard to be where they are today, they don't owe you nothing.

Jflex07:
you are hypocrite.Do you know how much would also have been saved if the government make our hospitals function? develop our universities to world standard,create good tourism development. Do you know the job opportunities it would have also created? Advice this clueless government first and then I can take you seriouslying

We r talking about entertainment here.

Did u read my first post well? I said I support banning of bad music/videos.

it is not my place to tell them wat to do. You can also add that they should stop sending their children abroad to school, vacationing abroad, buying private jets manufactured by the "abroad" people and getting treatments abroad too. Since you know how to tell them. next time read well before quoting.

aburo hypocrite

jt2010:


my previous post address the issue of government using this policy to macro manage the contents distributed to the Nigeria viewers and like noted, the policy take about growth of the local content in music videos and restriction not bad.

All of this are not casting stone, the artists should engage the government to work out balance policy than for one to just drop away the idea under no basic alternative.

i doubt you have been reading my replies, there are a million ways to achieve a target and some methods would actually cause more problems as it is ... There are better ways to help that industry if the govt thinks it needs help and these method or strategy or whatever you might call it is the least of them all. Before they arrived at this conclusion have they even conducted a poll to ask nigerians who are the major stakeholders and consumers of this industry if they would prefer an all made nigeria production? Have they considered why they even go abroad for shoots? Have they tried to correct the possible problems prompting them to shoot abroad ? Whats the basis for their conclusion? Have they helped to curb piracy? Have they made the structure standard such that artistes are entitled to their royalties? Have they built structures that will attract foreign entertainers to shoot in nigeria frequently?

holysainbj:
It beats my imagination to know that some people are supporting the FG on this
Is this how loopsided our reasoning have become? Is this how decayed our minds have turned within 2yrs of APC rule? Is this sentimental we have become?

A president, I mean president of the country is outside the shores of the country for medical care and is banning people from also taking their own problems outside
Like isn't this supposed to be a joke?
Are we really going to be at loggerheads even when we know the truth but for allegiance sake, tribal sake, religious sake turn a blind eye
May God help us all, we'll survive against all odds

is d president going to sell his well being to Nigerian or the artists been stop to not spent his money how he likes.

But selling a products to Nigerian means the FG has an obligation under the constitution to regulate and formulate policy to guide such processes.

ARREST THEM!! See The Reply APC Gave To Psquare On Ban Of Video Shooting Abroad
F.G falls them son of. The devil The statement read in full;
We read the scurrilous remarks credited to Mr Peter Okoye of the Psquare group against the Federal Government’s job-saving policy in the entertainment industry with great anger and vexation.
Least of all persons to make scathing remark against the government is the Psquare group which the local content policy of the Federal Government dusted-up from the valley of obscurity.
Where was Peter Okoye or Psquare brand in 1999 when foreign music dominated our airwaves? If not for the government policy which mandated all broadcast stations in Nigeria to pay attention to Nigerian music by playing 95 percent of Nigerian songs every day, would Peter Okoye or Psquare be known to anybody in Nigeria today? Or would they have competed with better American music which dominated our airwaves then?
After the government have used its policy to brush them up from nothing to something; instead of giving opportunity to other people, they are taking Nigerian jobs to foreign countries through the shooting of music videos abroad.
Now that government have intervened to raise great and better entertainers again, Peter Okoye has the gut to insult the entire Federal Government by calling our great leaders ‘Ndi Ala’ which means mad and stupid people. How dare you say that Psquare? http://www.allgossips.ml/2017/07/arrest-them-see-reply-apc-gave-to.html

[quote author=kettykin post=58561053]

Point of correction hypcritical and satanic APC , it was the PDP government that was responsible for the regeneration of the Music industry with the Government policy that mandated the playing of 95 percent of Nigerian songs every day.

No government shuld cum n take credit,,as far as d entertainment world is concern it grew n becum a venture to reckon wit make possible the entertainers themselves,,,b4 1999 their was no plantation boiz,,remedies,,p square,,jazzman... n others these ar guys that gave nigerian hip hop tunes in naija flavor..
kennis music and dj jimmy jat gave the d hip hop artiste d platform to showcase there talent wen d govt neva cared nd d society look down on those artiste.
if govt came up wit 95% play,,, hw many tv station were available then ,,aside kennis which other show was on tv to promote naija hip hop.... we all aint kids

Apc foolish sha. They think everything is to be done by arresting ppl. Simply have a meeting and discourse with ppl in the industry, all the can think of is tyranny attitude. Well d president is a tyrant so its normal. Beside the nigerian industry grew beta because the shoot videos outside alot n that was how many outside nigeria got to knw them. Beside a medical treatment abroad should b ban too. Arrest the president. If Nigeria had a good environment foreign musicians would come here to to shoot videos. So apc shld justshut up

Saying this government is confused, is only buh a compliment.they should face the pressing need of the country,if they want to truly patronize the Nigerian market, they should start by undergoing their medical check ups here in the country and not abroad.this is the typical example of someone who's house is on fire chasing,chasing rats.the government has never cared about empowerment of the youth,now that the youths are using their God given talent,they want to hinder their progress all in the name of reforms,if u don't want them shooting their videos abroad,make Nigeria better,shikina!

pweetiedee:
Please ban wearing of pant and bra by the video vixens too.

I think it would really make sense...and no "skiboroboskibo, emi baddo, kin ma ladi, ki n ma Jedi, iranu abacha"

they should start singing like fela, lagbaja, Jodie, timi dakolo, darey art, etc.

This would really help the coming generation, I know say this one don spoil.

Psquare, sorry ehn...u will get over it.

Amen!!!

What are you telling Psquare sorry for? That Psquare will get over what? A bunch of jobless nonentities calling themselves APC youth renaissance spewed some trash about them, Is that something to worry about? If it was the APC as a party or the federal government with those comments then maybe they should worry but not this useless association of political jobbers who I'm sure even you yourself have never heard of before now. Psquare doesn't need anybody's pity Ok, those dudes are balling steady. If anyone should be pitied, then it is the irrelevant APC youth Renaissance group because they are irrelevant and they will remain irrelevant forever

so you still dont understand how things work?? Every year people from all over the globe visit s.a for these events . What do they call that... tourism

jt2010:


Contents drive the entertainment industry. is mtv or channel o a physical structure, all of this are contents

adem30:
to say the fact Peter okoye is very stupid to make that statement. He think its only his talent that brought him to where he is now? Useless boy. who your money help? when they get to the top they never want another person to rise through them

stay there and be thinking anybody owes you anything. Nobody helps anybody. Hustle your way to the top.

I am trying hard to get your point which I still can't, but if you're trying to justify the presidency then just don't bother.
Let me ask too, do you know steady electricity is a pre-requisite for a video shoot?
The policy is a good one but not for Nigeria now

your statements are generalist in nature and not address the core to the policy.

The local contents we are talking about is gear towards increase the amount of local contents in music videos and restriction shotting of music videos abroad.

because your vague statement of royalties is out of place, do the artists showing the video mostly in SA give them royalties. Are you saying the same video shot abroad are still not pirated.

Why will a foreign artists shot video in naija when naija artists are not willing to lead.

Common, we know their are challenges but do we keep complaining and not do anything.

I see no reason why government should step into the issue of where they should shoot music videos since its not the government that is sponsoring them. Music is business, shooting music videos outside the country will give musicians more popularity which brings more profit than shooting it in Nigeria, if they) the music industry don't get their return on investment(ROI) in shooting video in Nigeria , will the government reimburse them? We all know the answer to that,so government should let them be and face major issues troubling the nation like boko haram, fulani herdsman, Kidnappers, greedy politicians and so on.

So u love local content...and ur father Bubu is in London hospital...is that local content?....Stupid people...sharing brain with Cow..

The president sold himself to Nigerians in 2015 and that's why they voted for him. He cannot be using tax payers money to treat himself in UK while trying to bar others from using their own hard earned money from getting the best services in furtherance of their own businesses.

look it up and educate your ignorance.

You've never curse him, 'insha Allah' means 'if Allah wish'. What if He do not wish? n He won't wish by His might!
However I must confess, you are heartless. Not fair enough et ol!

Danzakidakura:
stupid APC bunch of liars ,buhari will die isha allahu.

Useless country: Federal government to barn musicians from shooting music videos abroad. And some clowns supported saying, "Do foreigners come to Nigeria to shoot videos?"

And my question is "What for?" What is working here? Who leaves road and enter bush?

How can some people be reasoning from their anus?

How many times do foreigners come to Nigeria for medical treatment?

How many white people bring their children for school in Nigeria?

What is in Nigeria if not corruption, disunity and anarchy? Nothing is working in this zoo called country.

Leave musicians to shoot videos anywhere they want to shoot videos.

If musicians must come back, the President Buhari must also come back to Nigeria for treatment. All politicians children schooling abroad must also come back and school here. No more traveling abroad for any business.

Of all the problems this country is facing, a normal human been would wake up one morning and begin to say rubbish.

Nonsense country. Very useless! So angry with this trash called one Nigeria.

Laffin in efik . Will dis govt ever use dia senses. Lemme ask, aw many places do we av in dis country dat suites some musical messages or av dey forgotten music is not all about d groove but some take home messages. You spend our monies in beautifying oda countries all in d name of ill health or meeting (tax payers money ooo). Yet, you're placing ban on wat artists use dia own hard earned money to do. Use brain.

Ur head is paining u. U wanna stop them from shooting videos abroad?1st bring d president back to a Nigerian hospital. Then u make sure every politician trains their kids in Nigeria. Then u stop looting our money n taking it abroad. Hypocrites.

The Only thing I'll say is for God to forgive you..cos the punishment will be so severe if God wants to punish you according to your statement, May Buhari fall on you and ur Family...Buhari means...Badluck,evil,clueless, hipocrite.poverty,london hospital,etc

I will not advocate for the president as a person but u need a little lesson to know d different between government business and private business.

Simply saying Government job is to provide conducive environment for business through policy like the promotion of local content when the private business are required to taken advantage of government policy to furtherance of their own business.

then why havent they tackled piracy .. i still dont get how stopping our entertainers from going abroad to shoot is even as important as investing in that sector ... Before anything can you point out one investment or contribution this govt have made for the sector ... Well i wont reply you anymore. I am not the only one proving this point as a matter of fact you are the only one saying otherwise ... That speaks volume

I don't know why you guys are disturbing yourselves.
There are some senseless people in APC including many of the Ministers.

Let us wait for Osinbajo on this matter. For some times now, he as proved to be sensible out of the lot.

The fact that you cannot reason beyond what u believe does not limit the intellectuals points i pass out to you.

Please use Google.com to find out FG billions naira grant to the entertainment industry through the Bank of Industry.

Some years back, I watched the behind the scene of Chuddy K's Gaga video and he lamented that he had to sort different groups of area boys who kept coming to the the video shoot to harass them to the tune of 600,000!! My God! Abeg the government either has to do something or shut up.
