Nigeria @ 50 What we want from government–Nollywood stars and stakeholders

Segun Arinze, national president, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
“I want government to create an enabling environment for Nollywood to thrive, make laws to protect the industry and establish the much-talked MOPICON, to help regulate the industry. They should also help in the fight against piracy by creating a strong and formidable enforcement agency.”

Paul Obazele, national president, Association of Movie Producers (AMP).
“The government should help us fight piracy and create a film fund and above all, reduce interest rates for filmmakers. They should also tap heavily into the enormous potentials inherent in Nollywood by investing heavily and ensuring that we have an enabling environment to operate in.”

Zik Zulu-Okafor, ace filmmaker and former national president, (AMP).
“Let the government speed up the process of actualizing the Motion Pictures Council of Nigeria (MOPICON), to regulate the industry and ensure best practices. It should also create some incentives to inspire and encourage private sector investment in movie theatres, an initiative that will turn Nollywood into a truly multi billion Naira industry and create unprecedented employment opportunities for thousands, if not millions of our jobless youths.”

Jonathan urged to withdraw from 2011 race

President Goodluck Jonathan has been advised to withdraw from contesting in the 2011 election on moral ground and as a show of respect to the zoning principle of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary General of the Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum, a socio-cultural and political group, Mr. Akin Malaolu. He stated that it was imperative for Jonathan to withdraw in view of what he described as the present political troubles and gloomy forebodings for the country.

“We almost cannot believe the lack of matured thought behind the recent statements by our dear President Goodluck Jonathan over his interpretations in respect of zoning arrangement in his party constitution and we receive the news with hilarious laughter.

“The sum total of our appeal is that our President should please withdraw from the race both on moral ground and as a show of respect to the zoning principles of his party in the midst of the present political troubles and gloomy forebodings for the nation. “We shall not appeal to our president further on this matter as we commence our own campaign trail for quality leadership in the whole of Yorubaland and the nation.

Nigeria at 50: Not golden enough

On this day exactly 50 years ago, the Union Jack, emblem of British suzerainty over Nigeria, was lowered for the last time, and in its place was hoisted the green-white-green flag, symbol of a newly independent country.

As it fluttered proudly in the early morning breeze, patriotic fervour and bright hopes for the future were kindled in the hearts of many Nigerians. The future could only be written in gold.

Today is that envisaged Golden Jubilee. With pomp and circumstance, we are marking our 50 years as an independent country. Yes, 50 years is worth celebrating, either in the life of an individual, or a nation. It is a landmark, a milestone. No wonder it is usually referred to as golden year. Rolling out the drums may not exactly then be a ridiculous or unconscionable act, as our country turns 50.

What are the reasons Nigeria has to celebrate? A myriad, really. We have fought a bitter civil war, in which more than one million civilians lost their lives. Today, that we are still a united entity is cause for cheer. Tribes and tongues truly differ, but in brotherhood we still stand. Our union may seem flimsy and tenuous most times, but the fabric still holds, with more than 300 different ethnic nationalities cohabiting in one federation. It surely calls for rejoicing.

Again, like a dynamic organism that a nation is, Nigeria has grown by leaps and bounds between 1960 and now. Quite a number of changes have been recorded on the economic, political, and social scenes. We may not be able to beat our chests yet, saying we have arrived, but our economy in 1960 was basically agrarian. Today, we have recorded some strides in manufacturing and in the service sectors.

Soldiers take over Aba as Gov Orji revokes amnesty amnesty

Combined team of soldiers, naval police, the anti-terrorist and anti-robbery detectives have taken over major streets and corners of Aba, the commercial capital of Abia state.

They are combing every nooks and cranies in an effort to rescue 15 pupils of Abayi International School who were kidnapped last Monday on their way to school, by armed men , suspected to be kidnappers.
The action followed the revocation of the amnesty package offered the kidnappers by the state governor, Theodore Orji who was heavily touched by the actions of the kidnappers.

The Governor had last night lamented why the kidnappers would not accept his offer of peace, adding that the amnesty offer did not mean that government was weak. Rather, he said he was only trying to avoid collateral cosequencies that would befall innocent citizens when government match them force with force.
Daily Sun learnt that the Federal Government had deployed the combined team of the military and the police to comb the city and surburbs to rescue the abducted children.

It was also gathered that the combined team is close to identifying the hideout of the kidnappers and where they are keeping the kidnapped children , adding there are hopes that the children will soon be released.
A reliable source also told Daily Sun that the kidnappers were considering releasing the children as they were under serious pressure from the military men who have been combing every bush around the local area.
The kidnappers were said to have been calling those who they were bent on negotiating with, on the way on the way forward

NIGERIA @ 50 Marking Nigeria at 50, celebrating Abuja

As Nigeria celebrates its 50th anniversary as an independent nation, there is no doubt that one privileged landmark gloriously dotting the country’s historical and political evolution within the past 50 years is the conception, planning and actualization of the Abuja Federal Capital dream.

It is noteworthy that when Nigeria got her independence on October 1st 1960, that epochal ceremony took place in Lagos, the coastal city at the Southwest tip of Nigeria on the immediate shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Sequestered settlements that make up the marshy city, some almost lying below sea level, perch on islands and mainland on the border area between Nigeria and the French-speaking Republic of Benin.

When Nigeria got her independence, there was no thought whatsoever about the capital city moving from Lagos to another place. But as Nigeria trudged on as an independent country, the need for the development of a new Federal Capital began to manifest and that was how Abuja came into being. Precisely on 3rd February 1976, the Head of State, Gen Murtala Muhammed announced the choice of Abuja as the new federal capital of Nigeria.
