I am honestly flabbergasted that arsenal could spend this much .

All the babes like Esther that dumped him or did.not answer him because he is not so tall.

Your collective loses.

Instead of you to look for mino raiola and beg him to be your agent.
So that Juventus can sign you in the next window.

Though Jay z is big. You can't underestimate his connections.

holllandis:
Where was he before

Genk

Damn

Ajsmart:
Africans are always so quick to give up their little Innovations to Western companies who will only pay them peanuts to take over the industry and re-exploit them all over again, smh. The cycle always repeat itself.

It could be a majority share. It didn't say it was a complete take over.

Look at the bigger picture. It could mean more reach, revenue and professionalism for Nollywood.

Ekpeitit:
The question is what has this man achieved since he came into office?
He will probably be remembered as the governor who destroyed everything Okorocha.
Biafra mentality.

I am.sure you are part of those that voted buhari to fight corruption and now that you see an actual corruption fight, you don't like it.

If your region had such "Biafra" mentality since 1999, it would have gone very far.

untainted:
Very dubious to proclaim proposed investments as an achievement.

Exactly.
These are MOUs.
Very dubious indeed.

Simplyleo:
In this case, children of perdition will rather call it propaganda, media noise, lies and all sort of names. Or at best, it isn't buhari's making.

If the reverse is the case, they will agree wholeheartedly because that is a good ground to start wailing out their intestines while insulting their ancestors.

How they intend to continue this for the next 4 yrs is what I can't understand.

77% is going to the oil sector. That is a usual constant in every govt.
Nothing special.

Though more used to go to agricultural or manufacturing sector before, but it has shrunk under buhari.

traihit:
What could be the reasons for this and how can Nigeria ensure that it is people of great intellectual pedigree that gets to participate in elections? How do we ensure that our democracy is not left to the dogs to compete?

I honestly don't know.

If we adopt the American electoral system where who.wins is.not by the highest number of overall votes, then it could be possible to have better candidate winning.

But in a case of Nigeria, where the largely illiterate north have far more votes than any where else, we will keep getting the worst candidates with a lot of money or ethno religious support.

I pity the poor guy wey go marry this lady sha.

NA ordinary gedoni dey lash you like prostitute, to the extent the guy is tired of your pusssy.

A guy you just met in a TV show

Abomination m

traihit:
Some people say population is our problem. Yet, they forget that in our population resides our drive and motivation to succeed and this is why Nigerians always thrive to be exceptional. Only if our political sphere is good enough.

It is because your political sphere is not as competitive.
Other sectors get the best of the best but not the politics.

If our politics was ranked like our entertainment industry, the last two candidates in 2019 with the least number of votes should be buhari and atiku.

SocialJustice:
Very stale news. Important news won't make front page on time here but snake and Regina takes less than 15 minutes

The news came out middle of July. Not so long ago.

So how exactly is.it stale if most people here don't know?

enemmo:
I put the link to a two part medium article the husband wrote.
ROK is under iroko TV but the woman made it what it is today

Of course, the woman made it what it is.
I don't deny that.

enemmo:
Not really

https://medium.com/@jasonnjoku/content-is-king-how-i-ended-up-working-for-mrs-njoku-part-1-68ad784d814f

There is.nothing in your Link.
The CNN article says the franchise belongs to Iroko TV.
Abeg we all know Jason opened the business for his wife.
And she is the smart type obviously.

Why do ugly girls always have the strictest choices?

Don't be surprised that fine women like venita or khafi don't care about height or complexion.

Infact, one of the new guys was khafi's ex boyfriend.

Omudia11:
Damn, she's the owner?

Yes.
Courtesy of her husband, of course

There is a huge market for our movies in China which Star times wants to fill.

That is huge huge revenue for Nigeria and Star times.

You would never see QuotaSystem on this thread to defend the buhari govt his people voted for.

This is the buhari legacy.

Voted for by idiots.

Cherrybae:
The igbo Jews claim Atiku won Buhari, my question is that why has Atiku failed to prove this at the tribunal.

The truth is that the Noth voted against Atiku
The igbos and SS voted for him
While the yorubas were neutral

Atiku lost and that's the truth

I only pity the igbos in all. They are the major losers and I doubt if their wounds will be healed easily.

Hate will kill Ndigbo if they dont change

Igbo's are losers because atiku and some elites lost?

Is the quality of life in katsina comparable to any south east state?

Which Yoruba school did you graduate from?

A practical reality of who we are as people and where our priority lies as citizens.
The Funny side in all of these; we still go to bed, have a good sleep and wake up with the hope to meet a Nigeria we didn't create.


Me
When I saw this on a group page , I felt sad for Nigerian youths , our youths prefer frivolities to what will define their future ,

imagine half of this number voted in last election for Sowore or Prof moughalu, all this noise about last won't be heard , the irony of it all is they rant on social media , and had developed the custom of abusing those who are their fathers mate.

Nigerians needs to wake up!

The only way you can have good candidates is when you whittle down the powers of the.north in an electoral college system.
They are not civilised enough to make good decisions.

Highly corrupt Goje would defeat sowore in kastina and kano by the time they remember he is their northern. Son.

QuotaSystem:
1. If a candidate loses HIS OWN polling unit, it's a bold indicator that the person has been rejected from the grassroot in his own backyard, which makes that candidate's claim of winning the election in other places against available evidence rather ridiculous. All politics is local.

This is especially so when the candidates party goes on to win other elections in that same PU, underlining the complete rejection of the candidate i.e Atiku.

2. PMB's polling unit which he won by a landslide, is at Daura not Aso Rock. You can't be too shocked by Atiku's disgraceful court outing to realize that .

Atiku cannot win even Ali Nuhu in any election in the North. You were warned but like the proverbial stubborn fly....

BAT for 2023

no be only BAT, NA fly.
The only thread where you get active is where retrogressive politics is being discussed.
That is where your people shine.

We don't see you when human endeavours or development are being discussed.
After all, what does abokii have to offer the world?

Nigerians love foreign things.
That is why they pursue NEBOSH when we have ispon.

If you know, you know.

cenaman:
why can't they buy the cattle here nigeria?

Nigerian cattle's are among the least productive in the world in terms of meat and milk.

There is nothing wrong with importing improved versions for a start.
As long as we don't keep importing it.

Johnboom:
Calling your president names is not patriotic at all. I hope you are not from Yoruba tribe because we are well cultured and respect our leader.

Only Yoruba Land respects useless elders. Elders that have mortgaged the future.

Other parts of the world don't.

oyin44:
Western Nigerians were highly sophisticated in politics. among them,democracy was not an imported political idea..knowledgeable intellectual and intelligent people. if you don't believe me, go and borrow yourself a brain.

Your forefathers practiced conservative monarchy.
The Brits forced democracy on your forefathers.

The only group that have any form of precolonial democracy are the igbos.

If I hear.
If anybody wants to fight, it is certainly not Yoruba.
They just don't have it in them.
At least, it is smart. To avoid unnecessary loses.

Igbos on the other hand don't care if the fight is beyond them.
They go headlong into it to prove some kind of masculinity and honour.

Lagos, Nigeria(CNN) As part of its plan to strengthen its position in Africa's movie market, French media giant, Canal+ Group, has acquired Nigerian production studio, ROK film studios from VOD company IROKO TV.

According to a statement released by ROK on Monday, the studio, launched in 2013 by actor and producer, Mary Njoku, is Nigeria's largest production house with more than 500 movies and 25 TV shows.


The organization currently produce Ghanaian and Nigerian movies, reaching 15 million subscribers across DSTV and GOTV platforms, the statement said.

Njoku says that Canal+ is working with ROK because the studio has the ability to create Nollywood content at scale.

"They (Canal+) wanted an organization that could supply their studio with Nollywood content. They have some channels in Francophone Africa and wanted a supply of African content for those channels," she told CNN.

Canal+ currently offers Nollywood TV, a fiction channel dedicated to Nigerian movies to its subscribers in French-speaking countries.
The French media company has turned its sights on African viewers as growth has declined in its home terrain due to competition from Amazon, Apple and Netflix.

"This acquisition represents a key stage in Canal + group's international expansion. It allows the group to be present across the entire Nollywood value chain, and acquire unique expertise in the mass production of African fiction -- films, series, and entertainment," Canal+ said in a media release.

Acquiring ROK will create more hours of Nollywood content for Canal+ Group's audience in France and represents a battle for African eyeballs between media powerhouses such as Netflix and China's StarTimes.

Njoku says the acquisition is a sign that Nigeria's movie industry is doing well in producing quality content for the continent.

"When a company as big as Canal+ acknowledges and is ready to work with us to export Nollywood, it sends out a positive signal to the movie industry. Filmmakers are assured that they are doing something right," she said.


Netflix,in particular, has taken a keen interest in the African market, appointing award-winning Kenyan film producer Dorothy Ghettuba as the Manager for International Originals, and making several high profile Nollywood acquisitions, such as Lionheart and Chief Daddy.

The US media streaming company first captured the heart of the African audience in 2015 when it paid $12million for the worldwide distribution rights of 'Beasts of no Nation', starring award winning actor, Idris Elba.

In the same year, Netflix started the distribution of Nigerian movies buying blockbusters like 'October 1' and 'Fifty.'

In 2017, PAY TV operator, StarTimes announced the listing of Nollywood movies as part of its export to the Chinese market, signaling an interest in Nigeria's movie market.

Deepfreezer:
I swear just look at what youths are doing in Hong Kong. Nigerian youths don't have problems at all.

Hongkong authorities would not gun you down for protesting.
It is safe to protest there.

Our best bet in Nigeria is to hitch our protest under the sowore banner.
The buhari govt would not dare harass a former presidential candidate led protest.
It would look very bad before the international community.

If you try it as a common civilian, then I pity you. They would tag you a terrorist and waste you.
