Do you want to make a solid bet right now, that my prediction would be right? I am not criticizing, I am just using commonsense. I know enough about films taht it has to cater for a specific audience

i might be wrong but you might say if a nigerian is the director the movie will be silly. right?

i think it would still be the same. The nigerian director has to cater for the taste of hollywood- and he can't expect to sell a movie showing some nigerian actor with a thick accent being the main protagonist. Can you see the cast list already- a significant amount of oyibo ppl- to balance the africans.

The producers are from Britain and America that's what I know for now and I beleive in what bthey have to offer and will invest handsomely if I find a way to contact them. Have you any knowledge on film production process SEFAGO

I have an idea, why? Who are the ppl financing the films nigerians? you know people need to know if their investment is going to be worthwhile b4 they do so

That's the reason I fear this movie might not do well in the box office. I hope i'm wrong sha.

yeah its categorically has to concern white ppl b4  they come to watch it- taht is what i am trying to say so brashly. The main protoganist would have to be caucasian for it to sell, and it must show him saving the ignorant africans from their stupid civil war  . Just like blood diamond.

ok, i know people might cite the indian film "slum dog millionaire" but i would be surprised

How do you mean silly SEFAGO? you havent even seen producers at work yet. Have you met them or seen what they have done yet? This is the first international coproduction by experienced Hollywood crew. I have sat here all evening researching the makers. At least take a look at the white guy's cv and the films he's been in and produced. I mean George Calil.

No, I havnt- and i would state 100% I dont know exactly what they plan to do. But question 1

1) who is the producer/director of the movie

then i would tell you why it is likely to be silly

the movie is probbaly going to be silly with a stupid plot. And why all the biafra stories anyways- who actually cares about the biafra war except of course ahem certain ppl.

i wuld have explained funding to u in the uk, but the spambot is on pot

more difficult in the uk

viva la revolution africa. Viva la afrique noir

Well i plan to - probably next year May and not soon for personal reasons, to publish a full guide on applying to school in the US- undergraduate, graduate, engineering/medical schools, and others that could serve a reference for nigerian international students planning to school in the US/Canada.

But I can swear I know rily poor people/ middle class who attend $60,000/year schools in the US on full scholarships and the schools are even paying their tickets back home to nigeria. these kids are really smart though so it is not for everyone. Sadly the economic crisis, would make things difficult later in the future so my knowledge might have become obsolete.

Though it's much harder to get full scholarship for undergrad programs, it's easier to get it after the first year, however, it pays if you're demolishing classes.

you would be surprised how easy it is to get undergrad as long as u got iinfo

chick fight- sadly there will be no hair pulling/ scratching with fingernails e.t.c

aneg leave am and give him the address for yaba psychiatric hospital

Whiteman's traditions are flawless while african's are demonic,so they think.

i think the difference is that they don't take halloween seriously- while african religions are taken very seriously

ok, read it again- your statement is still ambiguous.

Back to what u are good at Beafing.

GDP is of no use in describing Nigeria's economy because, it really is a measure of the economic activities of Shell, Agip, Chevron etc. Their operating capital is based abroad  and they are all allowed to repatriate 100% of their profits.

read this closely and see why I am confused.

Jesus! How is it possible for you to reach lower lows each time? Na so dem born you? Shocked
Does any of the meaningless stuff above prove that we have an economy outside of Shell, Chevron etc? Does any of the confused rubbish above prove that Nigeria's "GDP" is little more than a measure of the activities of Shell and co?

Well if that is what you are trying to say- "That nigeria's economic activity is heavily dependent on oil, especially as conducted by foreign oil companies"

Yes, that is true. But nothing in your posts say that. I think, because you can't write well enough to present your point as succinctly as possible.

ahah ive been shaggin igbo babes since before i dont hate igbos AT ALL. Buts its ridiculous to open threads or generate an opinion of who spoils Nigerians abroads names when most who do fraud are yoruba and most who deal drugs are igbo.

any sensible yoruba person wouldnt open a thread labeling igbos as the ones who are criminals abroad, cause he/she would know yoruba criminals do 419

any sensible igbo person wouldn't open a thread labeling yorubas as the criminals abroad, because he/she would know most criminals who deal drugs are igbo.

then you shoul no variety is the spice of life , and that these tribalist threads are made by idiots, which constitute a large part of our society. we must accept these idiots and treat them like we treat our "omo de (children)." Give them lollipop and tell them what they want to hear.

Ghandi was a racist, people should stop quoting him

so was Tolkien, C.S lewis, Churchill, and a host of other people we quote. Doesn't stop us for admiring their greatness and perspicacity.

And for lack of s suitable source then- i would just say it in my own unworthy plain english "people should stop complaining about tribalism when you are no different from tribalists"

I think when people report these drug dealers/ 419ers they call them nigerians? non? I have never seen a newspaper that said the yoruba/igbo whatever committed the crime- it is usually the "nigerian -"

Let me help you guys. Ikey_man and sunny_bobo should go and shag some yoruba girl and becomrich and sjeezy should go and shag some igbo girl so that you guys can have kids and then stop worrying about tribal sentiments.

Why is it that most tribalistic threads are made by males? too much testosterone going around here.

their operating capital is based abroad and they are all allowed to repatriate 100% of their profits.

Beaf is at it again. These companies pay a significant part of their profits to the nigerian government. This is basic info- this doesnt factor into our GDP- the total profit of Shell/Chevron man.

Like how many times must this be hammered into ur head- yes shell/chevron can do whatever they want to do with their profit but only after paying part of their profit.

His only response would be someone is misfiring while disseminating ignorant information online

you guys are hilarious

lol, no man. That's funny though since i dont like the UK

Seems to me you are rooting for homosexual. God help you i don't catch you in my neighborhood, cause you will be dead meat

One thing nigeria does not lack: IDIOTS+UNEDUCATED BIGOTS

Fela is the shit. In reality, I dont know why people get defensive when ppl do ethnic bashing. It is impossible to change the opinion of bigots anyways, so why bother?

Just humor them, and agree with everything they say, while striving as Gandhi said "to be the change you want to see in this world"

I advised her that the reverse is probably the case (i.e) blacks are actually superior to whites. (Yea though I try to be non racist).Now think about it: Sports; Politics; Medicine and you name it in our so called western world today, you will find that when blacks are given a chance, they tend to excel way beyond what the whites have done.

see, examples of why people cannot take black ppl seriously.

^ this guys i s weird

lol, i saw this today and i could telll by the guy's name that he is nigerian

I bet he thought himself inviscible. I can imagine he has, in all that time, boasted about it all to a couple of other people, not just people like @Posakosa who seems enamored by this guy and his gap sweater/shirt. I believe there are people who knew of this but decided to play the "E NO CONCERN ME" card just as our friend here has.

LOL. Posakosa na your friend dey yab so. Abeg tell kobojunkie that your friend only deals with Ralph lauren/Armani/Calvin Klein

so na lie the girls dey yarn. u learn somethin new on nairaland. I always suspected somethin.

Ofcourse they are no different from you and I however that still won't deter me from demanding my own personal share of the national cake

i meant money can never make you happy, only your accomplishments can. But dont worry man, it would soon be our turn to cut our God given birthday cake. Oil is going to be in. let us wait for those old lepers to die out from constipation, then we can proceed.

Na wa oo

The truth hurts- dont worry, coming from a religious family it was hard for me to believe it was all a facade.

He was 19. he's now 27?

Why is this story just coming out or did I miss something. Either way they need to start deporting these animals.

i think he got the info when he was 19, then did the scam long term with the other people's info- he shuld have ran away when he had gotten enough. U can't escape from the American law no matter how smart u are- the best way is to disappear underground

I am not in anyway condoning this- i ma just thinking of it from an outsiders perspective
