OSCAR Disqualify Nigeria's Entry Lionheart




It has always been clear that its best foreign language film for this category.
Our August selection team should have investigated before submitting.
Oscar is subjective, but we believe it is the highest film Award.
We are not privy to the tricks and subjective strategies employed in voting and the psychologies behind the voting.
We dey learn small small.
Africans are funny, instead of concentrating on the immense work of how we can use film and our creative industry to generate employment for 100 million languishing Nigerian youth.
Work this through innovative strategies, global cultural affinities, na Oyinbo when dey enjoy we wan attach ourselves to.
We have serious problems.
You think if 100 million oyinbo youth are jobless it's pomp and pageantry their country will focus on?
And let nobody tell me about how a win at the Oscars can generate collaboration and hence employment.
Go ask the South Africans after Thotsi.
By the way, in case we didn't know, there are 2 Billion blacks in the world and there are innovative strategies of reaching them through film and consequently generating much needed foreign exchange to spur growth in Nigeria.
But first off, we are not Afrocentric at all. Oyinbo brainwashed us through their religious tricks that we are helpless without them.
And we believe them, while ignoring the 2 Billion black customers!!!
We have to wait for oyinbo blessing first.
Who did the original Nollywood founders wait for before creating massive distribution in US, Europe and the Caribbean?
Same way I warned the Nigerian naysayers 20 years ago complaining about quality then.
And to prove my point I put a team together and created the US distribution chain.
So because technology changed now and DVD is dead, does that mean we are all dead without Netflix, YouTube or Amazon prime? Our problem is simple: We have mediocre leaders who pose as knowledgeable and turn us into beggars on the world stage.
I sorry for Nigeria.
