Nigerians react as Desmond Elliot says banning foreign movies can fix Nollywood

Nigerians react as Desmond Elliot says banning foreign movies can fix Nollywood
Banning foreign movies will probably cause more problems for Nollywood.

When the Nigerian government calculated the entertainment industry as part of the 2013 GDP, there was an increase from $270 billion to $510 billion.

That entertainment industry was a sum of Nollywood, the music industry and the art industry. There is potential in an industry with an audience of over 100 million people. Equally, Nigerians keep spending a killing at cinemas that are not nearly as enough to cater to the viewers. 

But sadly, a crushing lack of quality productions continue to inhibit the industry. For years, we have known that asides the problems of terribly financed and produced movies, we also have well-documented problems of piracy, lack of funding, terrible stories and scripting, terribly trained actors, poor directors and godfatherism.

While we document and never create a roadmap to combat these problem, foreign movies continue to soar in influence on the Nigerian populace. To put it quite simply, Hollywood, Bollywood, Latino TV Shows, and even South East Asian movies either have everything or most of the things our movies lack. 

On Sunday, July 21, 2019, an interview of Nigerian actor and politician, Desmond Olushola Elliott surfaced on Hip TV. He dropped his two cents on the matter of improving Nollywood movies. To him, banning foreign movies will do the trick. He likened it to how the federal government banned rice. 

In his words and after stating a first point, he said, "Secondly, they need to consciously and intentionally focus on improving this industry. Treat it like you're importing rice... You ban all foreign content, make it difficult for all foreign content to come in, so your local content can grow.

"And then, you need to support (financially) the music industry, you need to support the film industry... even the comic industry as well..."

To end his hot take, he highlighted good points on lack of funding. First, we need to admit that he has the interest of the industry at heart. His approach is just faulty.


Secondly, we have to admit that he has some persuasive validation for his purist analogies. When the Federal Government banned rice, the locally produced rice markets have emerged and are booming. 

In China, a lot of globally accepted brands like Facebook are rejected for purist reasons and to prevent 'espionage.' In their absence, local Chinese companies like Weibo have thrived. 

To him, he probably feels like banning foreign content will force people to face Nollywood and cure its ills. He has a point, however crooked it is. The only problem is that he forgets that China is a communist state and rice is not film. 

Rice is food, movies are mostly product. To put things into context, the rice industry isn't confronted with as much problems as Nollywood. Agriculture is a Nigerian reality to start with. Nollywood is a ridiculous problem with improper grounding that created problems which continue to fester. 

Even with the ban on rice, illegal importation of rice is still in full swing. Banning foreign movies in Nigeria will be like the terribly-thought out American prohibition on liquor which unleashed the demon of smuggling and created rich men of illegality.

Asides that, a total ban on foreign movies in Nigeria will never truly happen with the internet. 

Fixing Nollywood requires a more pragmatic approach than an autocratic, purist measure that will neither hold water nor save the industry. 

To save Nollywood, we need to educate producers on their role in flooding the market with terrible quality that frustrates its audience. Then, we address the problem of improper funding. 

Moreover, the world has grown enough that local and foreign movies can coexist in any space and generate revenue without affecting each other. Bollywood and South-East Asia is testament to this.

this is why Femi Otedola decided to take care of Sadiq Daba's medical bills

Posted: 23 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

After Sadiq Daba's failing health became a national topic, Femi Otedola has risen to the occasion by footing the medical bills.

this is why Femi Otedola decided to take care of Sadiq Daba's medical bills 
Femi Otedola is taking care of Sadiq Daba's medical expenses for simple reasons not many will believe.

Otedola's decision to take care of the 'October 1' actor's medical bills is not out of place considering his recent gesture to ex-Super Eagles player and coach, Christian Chukwu, who also had health challenges.

In a tweet on Monday, July 22, 2019, at 10:17 AM, the billionaire boss of Geregu Power Plc confirmed the claims.

In an official statement released on Femi Otedola, has undertaken to take care of the medical bills of veteran actor, Sadiq Daba.

Here's why Otedola is footing Sadiq Daba's medical expenses

Otedola says Sadiq Daba created good memories for him

Otedola in his statement says one of the reasons he decided to foot the medical expenses of Sadiq Daba is because he created good memories for him.

"For me, taking care of Sadiq's medical expenses is my little way of showing appreciation and gratitude for the good memories he created for me and others in the past."

He went forward to say, "I must say that even though I don't know Mr. Daba personally, he is a face I am familiar with through the old TV drama production "Cock Crow at Dawn" which I used to watch while growing up."


How Otedola heard about Sadiq Daba's ailment
Reacting to how he heard about Daba's ailment, Otedola said he only learned about it a few days back. "I heard about Mr. Sadiq Daba's health conditions when it was brought to my attention through an online news story I read two days ago," he began.

"From the news report, I gathered that he was rushed to the Emergency Unit of LUTH after being diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)," he said.

Otedola's reaction to Sadiq Daba's ailment

The Geregu Power Plc boss' reaction to one of his favourite TV stars' ailment was a mix of nostalgia and sadness.

He said, "I was saddened to hear that he had taken ill again after overcoming his health again after his challenges from prostate cancer two years ago.

"I was moved by a sense of nostalgia and concern when I read of his medical situation recently and decided to take over his medical bills." 

Daba has made an impression on Otedola
Otedola says the ailing Daba is an icon who should have gotten all accolades and recognition.

"In other climes, the likes of Sadiq Daba and other actors who more or less paved the way for the entertainment industry in Nigeria (which is touted as the 3rd largest movie in the world) would be celebrated as icons and due recognition would be accorded to them. He has been visited and arrangements are being made to support him," Otedola wrote.

Sadiq Daba survived prostate cancer in 2017
In 2017, Daba traveled to the United Kingdom for the treatment of leukaemia and prostate cancer. He returned to Nigeria a few weeks after with reports that his situation was not as bad as feared.

PDP Gives Kudos To Supreme Court’s Refusal To Reverse Self On Zamfara

Posted: 22 Jul 2019 03:44 PM PDT

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

The Supreme Court's refusal to succumb to the pressure by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to review and reverse its "lawful and well-founded judgment, voiding the participation of the APC and its candidates in Zamfara state in the last general elections, has been hailed by the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday.

In a statement issued in Abuja, by Kola Ologbondiyan, it's National Publicity Secretary, said the Apex Court doing so, has once again saved the nation from a huge constitutional crisis "that could have devastated our constitutional democracy and corporate existence as a nation."

The PDP described the demand by the APC to the Supreme Court as blasphemous, blackmail as well as a measured landmine set by APC leaders in their desperation to ambush and destroy the integrity of the apex court, The Tribune reports.

The statement added: "The motive of the APC leaders is to ultimately sequester the institution of the judiciary and foist a totalitarian order on our polity.

"It is also instructive to note that by asking the Supreme Court to embark on a journey to nowhere, the APC clearly sought to subvert our democratic system and surreptitiously force on Nigerians, a system that is completely alien to our constitutional democracy and outside the confines and dictates of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

RELATED:  Sagay Calls On APC To Return To Court On Zamfara, Rivers

"APC's demand is a direct threat to our democracy, peace and stability of our nation and shows its unwillingness, as a party, to abide by the rule of law.

"It also exposes APC's penchant for sowing crisis in our nation; a situation that should be condemned by all."

The PDP, therefore, urged all well-meaning Nigerians, the country's institutions of democracy, as well as security agencies,  to be cautious of the APC "as it has shown that it is not committed to the unity and stability of our dear nation."

Play Fatherly Role, Group Tells Oyegun, Stop Heating Up The Polity

Posted: 22 Jul 2019 12:10 PM PDT

Chief John Oyegun

The Edorisiagbon Network, a socio-political group, has urged Chief John Odigie-Oyegun to stop heating up the polity and play the father figure to douse tension in the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.

The group said, the attack on Comrade Adams Oshiomhole by Chief Oyegun was out of place.

It said, they has embarked on holding meetings with all the principal actors for resolution of the crisis.

Chief Idahosa Ray Amasowomwan, President of the group, in a statement said, the Edo APC crisis was complicated by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Chief Amasowomwan said the Machiavellic inauguration of minority rule at dead hours of the 17th of June was against all relevant sections of Nigeria's constitution and established moral culture of Edo people.

He said, "Chief John Odigie Oyegun has been fanning the embers of discord, disloyalty and utter irresponsibility against the National Working Committee of the ruling APC.

"We can't side a Governor who out of his desperation to cloth his abuse of due process, alleged crass mismanagement of State resources wickedly sidelined 15 members from inauguration. Edo people were not brought up that way, it is thus an alien culture."

Also, the Ezomo of Benin Kingdom, Chief Okponmwense Ezomo urged all parties in the crisis to comply with whatever decision the National Assembly come out with to resolve the crisis in the Edo State House of Assembly.

Chief Ezomo, in a statement made available to journalists in Benin, likened the crisis to the biblical case of the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob.

He said, "I see an invisible hand mesmerizing the Edo State House of Assembly. Edo State remains a peace loving state as the role the Oba of Benin has played lately speaks volumes. I am of the opinion that the cards need to be reshuffled again for the sake of peace and so give credence to the revelations of the two senior houses in Abuja and as well as their projections"

JUST IN: DCP Umar, Senior Police Officer,  Killed In Shiites, Police Clash

The unending protest of the members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), otherwise known as the Shiites has claimed the life a top police officer with the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.

PR Nigeria reports Monday evening that the deceased was Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operation, DCP Umar Usman.

DCP Umar was killed by the protesters while trying to prevent the hostile action of destruction of property at the axis of the federal secretariat and three arms zone.

Meanwhile, security was beefed up at the Force headquarters to prevent reprisal attacks over the arrest of scores of the protesters who are demanding the release of the spiritual sect leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El Zakzaky.

Meanwhile, Abdullahi Musa, the Secretary of IMN Academic Forum, has blamed the Police for the fatal clash.

According to a Daily Post report, Abdullahi Musa said; "Security forces led by the Nigeria Police shot at our members, and injured many others. I can confirm to you that, we have carried away six dead bodies belonging to our members.

"The security agents also lifted some corpses to unknown destinations. We are yet to account for some of our members who came out to protest today. We believe the number of casualties may increase before today ends."

The IMN scribe also dismissed claims that members of the Islamic group provoked the police through undue confrontation before the shootings began.

"Our protest began from NITEL junction through Ahmadu Belli Way to the Federal Secretariat. On our arrival, we were still prepping to pray and disperse peacefully before live ammunitions were released at our members to forcefully send us home. We were unarmed. We couldn't have confronted armed policemen," he added.

RELATED:  Photos - Policemen Abort Rally To Remember Murder Of Shiites By Soldiers In Zaria

He accused security operatives of masterminding the vandalisation of public properties after the shootings to win public sympathy.

He said, "No member of our movement was involved in the setting ablaze of vehicles and the outpost of NEMA ablaze as alleged. But we know the authorities have been making frantic efforts to blackmail us and sway the public sympathy against IMN and Sheikh El-Zakzaky.

"We are aware the police have been sending paid agents in plain clothes to infiltrate our meetings and disturb public peace in the name of IMN. But the Nigerian people are already frustrated and oppressed by this administration. The government can't get the public sympathy they are desire, because its agents are committing crimes against humanity."

Mike’s wife reacts after Tacha insults, pushes her husband on reality show

Posted: 22 Jul 2019 03:58 AM PDT


Since the start of BBNaija 2019 edition, a number of viewers have had a lot to say about some of the housemates, especially Mike and Tacha.

While Mike seems to be much-loved by fans, Tacha appears to rub some viewers off wrongly due to the attitude she displays on screen.

On Saturday, July 20, the housemates held their regular night party and they all seemed to be having fun. However, things soon turned sour after the party as Tacha and Mike had a situation.

Tacha used abusive words on Mike severally as she eventually shoved him out of her way. The cause of the altercation is not known but Tacha appeared upset that the guys got drunk after the party.

In expressing her anger, she insulted Mike, pushed him out of her way and threw tissue paper on his face. Well, the video has since gone viral on social media and Mike's wife, Perri Shakes-Drayton has reacted to it.

According to her, she loves and admires how Mike handled the situation. She added that if it were someone else, the outcome might have been worse. Perri wrote:

"Regardless of the obvious hate, being wrongly treated & being rudely spoken too by certain individual housemates. We all know alcohol can bring out different sides of a persons personality. I admire and love how Mike can handle himself in certain situations. I think if it were someone else the outcome could have been worse. . Life is a teacher and there are people that will always test you just to get the reaction they're looking for. Thing is it's how you react that shows true character & what makes you the bigger person. . In my husbands defence which I had no doubts about, he handled himself well with composure as always because he was raised to be a true gentleman!!"

In the interview with Yaw on Wazobia FM, Efe stated that he stuck to claims of being broke after winning the 2017 edition of the reality show because so many people were keen on getting a cut from the money.

But he however said he has never touched the prize money for his music career, and can never be broke again because he moved on to business too. The reality show star added that he is not giving out money to anybody again, and is done hiding his worth.
