The Art Of Story Telling Vs The Use Of Resources In Nollywood

Veteran Nollywood Actor and Director Kunle Afolayan (@kunleafolayan) Was Reportedly On A Phone Interview Recently, Where He Addressed The Huge Progress Made By The Nollywood Movie Industry And Also Talked About TIFF film festival. The interview conversation in detail:
Q: It seems as if a new audience is about to get introduced to Nollywood. What would you like them to know?
A: What we have going for us is we’re making use of available resources to tell stories. The main context that is driving the industry is actually the art of storytelling. Which is why the larger part of Nollywood will compromise on quality and concentrate more on their stories. While the likes of myself and a few other filmmakers feel it is important to balance the production value with [our own] type of stories.
Q: Have you ever seen Nigeria make such a splash on the international festival scene?
A: No no, this is the first time. This is something I mentioned yesterday actually; this is going to be the largest gathering of Nigerian filmmakers outside of Nigeria. I don’t think it has ever happened. Yeah we’ve been to festivals, but… And also because we have these proper filmmakers, young filmmakers who are really doing something different.
Q: The fact that Nigeria is so well represented at TIFF this year, what do you think it all means in the grand scheme of things?
A: Now, what we do is more exposed to the international audience. You never can tell what will come out of it. Exposure is one of the things that people pay premium to get. This comes with the package, with the spotlight. I think this will do Nollywood a greater deal. Now we’re there in the open. It’s up to the filmmakers to take advantage of the aftermath of it.

Q: In the past year or so, Nigerian music has really made it onto the world stage. Do you think the same could happen with the film industry?
A: I think so. Nigerians, we’re initiative-driven, an average Nigerian just wants to do what they want to do when they want to do it. I think that is what the world needs. It’s time we start thinking out of the box. And start taking initiatives. The world has changed, and it’s evolving. Gone are those days when if you release a big film and you haven’t done television and radio then basically you’re not anywhere. Now, on your phone, you can tweet it in the corner of your room and start talking about what you do. You don’t need a reviewer, because once people see your film, on the go they’re talking about it. I think this is a global phenomenon that is going to rub off on the film industry and every other sector.
Q: October 1 is coming up. What’s your hope for Nigeria in its next year of independence?
A: In life sometimes you just allow things to flow. I would just pray for the economy to sort of change, to stabilize. Now it’s really getting crazy. Now it’s affecting every sector. I believe everything will fall into place.
Q: What about for the film industry?

A: The film industry is evolving now. We have new, younger filmmakers. Monetizing the content is the area we still have a lot to do.
Q: What about you, what do you have coming up?
A: I think I’m going to be doing projects in partnership with M-Net. I want to do some television series. I’m working on my next big feature.

3 Reasons Why American Music Sensation Jidenna Will Give Nollywood Actors A Run For Their Money!

The new music sensation Jidenna (@Jidenna) who grew up partially in Nigeria, recently visited the country for musical concert, and received a warm welcome by a lot of fans and colleagues.
Now, let’s take a look at the reason why the American based singer would definitely shake the market if he decided to settle for acting in the Nollywood movie industry.



1. Most people don’t know this but, Jidenna studied ‘Ritualistic Arts’, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts back in 2008. This makes him a perfect candidate for a ‘Juju’ role in a Nollywood Yoruba Movie LOL.

2. His looks! Jidenna is undoubtedly ‘fit for the screens’. His smile, his hair, his physique, I could go on and on! He is the total package for a seduction role and this could spell competition for Nollywood veterans Majid Michel and Van Vicker.



3. Jidenna looks good on everything. From African clothing, to English suits, to Shorts and sneakers, I can’t even start to think of him topless OMG!

Call him Mr. Flamboyant; E-Money lives in a gold-furnished mansion, owns fleets of cars and has a lot of money to throw around, even in the midst of the current economy in Nigeria.

 Money bag CEO of 5 Star Music, Emeka Okonkwo AKA E-Money, is known for his money spree galore that has been rocking the social media platforms of late.

Call him Mr. Flamboyant; E-Money lives in a gold-furnished mansion, owns fleets of cars and has a lot of money to throw around, even in the midst of the current economy in Nigeria.

He has been so much in the news  for lavishing money, especially during public events. Earlier this week, he was sighted in a video footage showing his latest upgraded style of using a money gun spraying device. The money rain took place at a wedding reception of professional football player and Super Eagles member, Onazi Ogenyi.

E-Money launched his money gun in April, which helps him flaunt his riches easily. The multi-millionaire was first seen in his common act at the Quilox birthday party of Fuji icon, K1 D Ultimate. The second time was at the wedding reception of actor Mike Ezuruonye’s sister.


Surprisingly, other millionaires such as Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola, whose wealth have been around for  a longer time, are yet to lavish money the way the 5 Star boss does. This leaves most people no option but to ask ‘what does E-money do for a living, aside managing 5 Star Music’.

In 2014, Vanguard described him as a billionaire, whose business stretches from real estate to the music industry. There should be more to that, as his extravagant lifestyle is second to none.

First of all, Emeka Okonkwo was born and raised in Ajegunle and is the younger brother of pop singer Kcee Limpopo. He is the official sponsor of Kcee’s music career plus that of Harrysong and Skiibii.

Emeka Okonkwo is also the head of a shipping company called Emmy Cargoes Nig. The company was established in 1997 and was formerly called Borisa Nig. Ltd. He is also into real estate as well as oil and gas, as stated earlier.

Unlike his elder brother, E-Money is married. He has three sons with his wife, Juliet, whom he’s been married to for six-year now. According to him, he met Juliet in 2003 when he was still struggling to make money and she was just what he was looking for – a God-fearing and non-materialistic woman.
