Binta Sukai the pearl from the north. . . remember her?

Beating the Fabric gives it a shinier look.

Let the yanga begin!

Aaah! Perfection!!

Tied and Dyed Fabric

Err. . . yeah, what I said earlier.

Man tie-ing. . . or dye-ing. . . or both

I think it's quite obvious I have OCD, so let's all accept it and move on.

Apart from farming, the North is also known for their Tie and Dye Fabrics. . . the real stuff.

Tie and Dye Pits

Good Movie.

That's all I ask.

Moooooooooooooooore

Mooooooore

In my opinion, today. . .  no one culture holds ownership to any kind of dressing, it's all been mixed and match to form one big buffet of attire.

More choices, nice no?

ezeagu:
Igbo people don't really have a traditional attire,

Lol, oh yes they do.

Again, I ask. . . what is going on here? I beginning to think this election is an elaborate episode of Punk'd. I wonder where Ashot Kutcher is hiding. Oh maybe he's in drag as Palin. Honestly, it makes sense. . . doesn't it?

McCain shies away from recent days' attacks

DAVENPORT, Iowa - Republican John McCain, the clock ticking down on a chance to narrow Democrat Barack Obama's lead in polls, turned away Saturday from visceral attacks on his rival to pivot back toward policy differences.

McCain kept his speech in this Iowa river town focused on the economy and other policies, a striking change from just days ago when his campaign redoubled its challenge to Obama over his association with a former '60s radical. McCain also claimed that American voters didn't really know Obama and his own "radical" views.

But the tone at McCain's and running mate Sarah Palin's events during the past week had been turning toward the sour. Supporters had shouted "terrorist" and "off with his head" at the mention of Obama's connections to former Weather Underground member William Ayers, whose group bombed federal buildings in protest of the Vietnam War when Obama was a child. The two had worked together on community projects in Chicago, and Obama has denounced Ayers' violent past.

On Friday during a town hall-style meeting in Lakeville, Minn., a supporter told McCain that he feared what would happen if Obama were elected. McCain drew boos when he defended his rival as a "decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States."

In another exchange, a woman told McCain that she didn't trust Obama because "he's an Arab." Shaking his head and taking the microphone from her, McCain replied: "No, ma'am. He's a decent, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about."

McCain returned to that note of civility on Saturday as his quandary became clearer: He needed to excite his party's base without inciting them, challenge Obama while being an honorable opponent, and find a game-changing strategy for his faltering campaign without crossing the line.

When an anti-war protester interrupted him, McCain nervously watched what the crowd would do. The protester was hoisted on shoulders and McCain's supporters chanted "We want John."

"You know, my friends, there's a perfect example of some people who just don't get it," McCain said to thunderous applause.

"As people are trying to stay in their homes, keep their jobs and afford health care, is what they want for us, to yell at each other?" he asked. "No. They want us to sit down together, Republican and Democrat, to work through this terrible time of crisis."

Just days ago, on the stump and in ads, the question was "Who is Barack Obama?" For the moment, that question was shelved.

"Which candidate's experience in government and in life makes him a more reliable leader for our country and commander in chief for our troops?" McCain asked. "In short: Who's ready to lead?"

McCain's most serious criticism of Obama on Saturday was over health care, not character. His advisers say that they will aggressively challenge Obama's record but will not to make it personal. The two are to meet for a third and final debate on Wednesday.

[b]Unhelpful for establishing the tone McCain sought in Davenport was the Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church. His prayer before McCain arrived at the convention center blocks from the Mississippi River appeared to dismiss faiths other than Christianity and cast the election as a referendum on God himself.

"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," Conrad said.

"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.[/b]A McCain spokeswoman distanced the campaign from the remarks.

"While we understand the important role that faith plays in informing the votes of Iowans, questions about the religious background of the candidates only serve to distract from the real questions in this race about Barack Obama's judgment, policies and readiness to lead as commander in chief," Wendy Riemann said.

its not about the right or wrong investment,its a given that the industry needs an injection of funds for all these things ,the point here is that money needs to go in before it goes out,if noone is injecting funds into nollywood because of all the problems that have been listed on this thread and more,where exactly is the money for all these land and pricey gadgets coming from?
if u see these artistes looking good some of them are into all orts,at least we heard of the ones arrsted for drug smuggling,some are into glorifies prostitution while some into positive stuff business e.t.c
remember there are no babangida abacha atiku e.t.c s children invloved in the industry,more so they have to give the banks,multi nationals enough reason to invest in the industry

well er, how d i say this now, its like a primary school pupil coming back from  lesson/school and saying "[b]I'm so intelligent dad i came 7th out of ten people"[/b]same goes for nollywood, please don't blieve them because its a bunch of bull crap as far as I'm concerned dyu realise that an average nollywood production costs around 1 million naira and thats with like major stars like genevieve,jim iyke,rmd they will contend with piracy and poor distributn and will manage to sell maybe 50,000 cds, do the maths,  and see if they ll ever make enough money to do all these stuffs
I'm sure others know more about these stuffs than i do but one of these cameras go for around at least £10,000 pounds,some hd cameras go for twice or thrice more and thats just the start, now work that out and factor in the price of a plot of land at maybe 200grand,special effects and watch the money running into multi millions

Roftlmao! Hey, who has been spilling on me? I actually did that once, I went to my dad and said Daddy I came. . . hmm, you know what never mind that now.

I guess I do see your point about not believing the hype but I refuse to believe they are not making because of the flaws we've listed here. Are you kidding me? Do you not see the many, many people ready to nail our collective hides on a stake foe suggesting their beloved movies aren't much to talk about? LMAO! Surely, you don't think they will be defending the industry so strongly if they didn't believe in these movies enough to spend money on them? The flaw pointers are only a handful compared to the movie lovers and because of the enablers, I can safely say Nollywood has the money.

it would be naive of them to think they can get outside money from anyone in their present state. First of all, let's just cancel all talks of Government involvement . . . monetary wise. The Entertainment Industry is low priority for the Nigerian Govt, it always has and it will always be. Let's look outside for potential investors. . . seriously, where is the incentive to when right now for anyone to want to invest in Nollywood, which leaves us with one last option. . . Nollywood investing in itself. If they made themselves attractive enough, they might attract interest from outside investors. Is it going to be expensive? Absolutely but in the long run, they are going to reap the rewards!

Right now, telling Nollywood to seek investment outside is like a sickly looking, pimple ridden, ashy faced girl who is stupid enough to walk up to a potential suitor and saying "I have the potential to be pretty, marry me and you will see. . . " LOL! As If!!

No offense to Sickly looking, pimple ridden, ashy faced girls, of course.

well OK lets talk revolution

First : we need a MENTAL revolution

not every inteligent young man needs to have gone to Havrd or Oxford or Standford or whatever other fords there are in the world,

Second: we need a Biological revolution

you cannot take some fat ass girl to act as an Action heroine just because she is a Tom boy
and don't our male actors need to do something about their stomachs?

third: we need a Make up revolution

there is only one time in a year the ladies are allowed to make up the way they do in the movies, and that is on Halloween's night

Fourth : we need and writting revolution

Poor scripts, make poor comprehension , and unnecessary repeatition

Fifth : we need a Directing revolution

the actors cannot just ACT, they need to be directed to give the emotion to the scene that should be
and when u are acting in front of the cameras there are certain things that the actor might be unaware of which the director has to detect from behind the scene and correct

in short i don tire!!!

Rotflmao!!!! A++++++++++++++++++++!!!!

We need a full body revolution!
