Once we are able to elect Peter Obi, rascals and thugs will stop contesting for president because we will have raised the bar so high.
Then, a new era begins.
Oh yes he did! Fela was alive during Buhari's run as head of state. Buhari was a failure then and Nigerians brought him back to fail again. Foolish people.
Yesterday, we received a delegation of Nollywood practitioners led by Mr. Francis Ifeakandu, who is currently working on a film, "The Chronicles of Enyimba."
I commended their resilience, creativity, and dedication to producing a film project that seeks to showcase the rich cultural heritage, history, and development of Abia State, especially Aba, our Enyimba City. The initiative aligns perfectly with our vision of promoting investment, tourism, and economic growth through the creative sector.
While government may not directly sponsor private film projects, our administration remains committed to providing the enabling environment and support required for the growth of the entertainment and creative industry. I assured the team that our support remains available, and we will continue to work with stakeholders to ensure initiatives that promote Abia and create opportunities for our people to succeed.
Drawing from my own experience as a movie producer in the 1990s, I understand the challenges and opportunities within Nollywood. That is why we are actively pursuing plans to establish an Entertainment City in Abia, a world-class hub for filmmakers, creative professionals, and investors. Processes such as land acquisition and compensation have already commenced to bring this vision to reality.
I appreciate Mr. Ifeakandu, his team, and other Nollywood stars who accompanied him and for their efforts in telling Abia’s story to the world. The project, featuring over 2,000 cast members and structured into six seasons, will not only restore Abia’s prominence in Nigeria’s movie industry but also generate employment and attract investment.
The problem with Nigerians is you all actually think you have the same problem as Ghana , South Africa and co
We’re literally on the same level as Congo , South Sudan if not worse .
Spain didn't call up any Real Madrid players for the World Cup, so Real Madrid officially announced a Spanish player before their first World Cup match... 😂
The Commendable Act of Nigerian Artists at the World Cup
Nigeria’s absence from the World Cup, as I previously stated, stems not from a lack of talent but from a conspicuous deficiency in political leadership that has failed to create an enabling environment for talent development.
This assertion is underscored by two notable occurrences during the tournament: the vibrant participation and impressive performances of Nigerian artists, and the presence of numerous Nigerians representing other nations on the field. These observations present a significant imperative for Nigeria’s political leaders to actively foster an environment in which the nation’s youth can fully realize their potential.
Furthermore, Davido’s impactful gesture in drawing global attention to Nigeria’s security challenges warrants commendation. He prominently displayed the names of schoolchildren who had been held captive for an extended period, advocating for their safe return. By utilizing his international platform, Davido effectively highlighted Nigeria’s security crisis, transcending mere entertainment. He appeared in a custom black leather jacket emblazoned with the message “BRING THEM HOME,” accented with green buttons bearing the names of 39 schoolchildren and 7 teachers recently abducted by bandits in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The pervasive insecurity in Nigeria merits international scrutiny, particularly given the government’s apparent inability to effectively address the situation. Nevertheless, the prospect of a revitalized Nigeria remains achievable. -PO
