akinboyepelumi1:
I partially agree with you but believe me it is not a good idea. It is only the State of Origin that remind some people that they are actually from a particular state.

I came across a girl some years back who called her dad to ask of her state of origin, You can imagine that! Am talking about a girl of about 21years old.

In Unity, well, fine but in another way round let's leave it that way.

kolonigga:
I think the government should remove the state of origin in filling forms and replace it with "Place of Birth" or "Place of Resident" instead. I think it will make us to feel more united.

What do u think? I think someone from the house raised the issue during OBJ's tenure.

Please no insults be matured
Thanks

AJORE:

PLEASE, READ: THIS IS WHY EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO ABUJA.

If you don't understand why those who are in Abuja don't want to return and those who want to go are doing so at all cost, look at this information.

* Basic Salary (B.S) - N2,484,245.50
* Hardship Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70
* Constituency Allowance (200% of B.S) - N4,968,509.00
* Newspapers Allowance (50% of B.S) - N1,242,122.70

* Domestic Staff (70% of B.S) - N1,863,184.12
* Entertainment (30% of B.S) - N828,081.83
* Personal Assistants (25% of B.S) - N621,061.12

* TOTAL MONTHLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 ($181,974.00)
* TOTAL YEARLY SALARY = N29,479,749.00 x 12 = N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

LEGISLATORS PAY WORLDWIDE PER ANNUM
* Britain - $105,400.00
* United States - $174,000.00
* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00
* Saudi Arabia - $64,000.00
* Brazil - $157,600.00
* Ghana - $46,500.00
* Indonesia - $65,800.00
* Thailand - $43,800.00

In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the country’s GDP per person, that of a British member of parliament is just 2.7 times.

The average salary of Nigerian worker based on the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So, the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 = N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator = $2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638 years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian Senator.

Talius:
This is everyone's dream to see the Nigerian movie industry improve. Once in a while I get good inspiration for stories that would make great movies if adapted but there's no opportunity to pitch my ideas

sage1000:
So I'm going to rant now, bear with me.
I can hardly watch a Nigerian film nowadays because of a lot of problems of which the least is lack of money. Not all of the classics cost a lot of money.
Generally what I'd like in Nigerian movies
- Better Dialogue - apart from our comedy movies, the dialogue in a typical Nigerian film is cringe worthy

- Less Extraneous Scenes/Better Directing - Several time when I'm watching a Nigerian movie, they just cut from something mildly interesting to a completely pointless scene. For example every single club scene. It is any idea the writer comes up with that he thinks might be cool to watch he puts it in regardless of whether it fits the movie or not. They should learn to cut those shit out

- Tighter Plotting - Most Nigerian films do not have an idea of what they are actually doing, they just jump from one scene to another without any cohesion and sometimes leave the viewers wondering what the hell is happening on screen.

Some Movie scenarios
The Traffic Jam story has potential. It can be a great bottle neck story focusing mainly on characterizations and smart comedy. There is potential for some great conflicts there.

A biographical movie. We have some great people that biographies would make sense for. For instance Kanu.

A movie focusing on the key players in the period leading to independence that is done well can be an oscar worthy movie.

The Nigerian Civil war is a fertile ground for great movies. A romeo and Juliet, the chronicle of a family trying to escape the war-zone, an action flick focusing on a spy etc

NYSC is also another fertile ground, a movie of some corpers trying to escape hot zone like boko haram, a lean on me-esque film which really is the plight of most corpers.

A superhero movie and it doesnt have to cost a lot of money, Heroes s1 had little in way of special effects. it just needs a good story

Fast and Furious set in Abuja - A pipe dream but admit it, this would be awesome.


and these are off the top of my head

So, a runaway bride was spotted roaming around Lekki shopping mall. According to eyewitnesses who confronted her, she said she is avoiding her wedding.

Only God knows what actually happened to
her.

You did not see an INEC Official pleading. You did not see a crowd gathered by the polling booth. Why lie to yourself.

TheFilmmaker:
Hi Safari29, I am also an aspiring filmmaker and understand perfectly what you're going through. First things first, filmmaking is very expensive. Very expensive. DON'T yet quit your job.

Secondly, film schools or institutes is not for everyone. Art (talent) cannot be taught or learned. Moreover film schools are very expensive and trust me they can only teach you the theoretical aspect of filmmaking which you can actually teach yourself of you are disciplined and ready to sweat it out.

My filmmaking aspirations began in 2012. But I quickly realized filmmaking is expensive and practical based. If you can't shoot good stuff with your Samsung S3 or iPhone then I should worry if you think you can shoot pro with a Blackmagic. And bro, there is a lot to filmmaking than just a camera. I know how the passion feels. The surge of excitement you get when something happens around you and you wish "Oh, this would be so good for a movie."

I have a ton of filmmaking books that deals with EVERY aspect of filmmaking, including the theories of filmmaking and audience paychology. You will be surprised at a lot of aspects the average Nigerian filmmaker skips, and THAT exactly is the reason why our films are mediocre. I also a couple of low end filmmaking equipments and a CPU that runs on core i7 with 16gb ram.

Let's hook on Whatsapp or BBM and we can talk better.

quixotic:
yes you are allowed, the electoral act does not prohibit it. Camera phones can be used to record the presiding officers or collation officers when announcing results. It is legal and allowed.
