In 2019, three groundbreaking events happened during the 60 years of TV broadcasting in Nigeria since the first TV station in Tropical Africa launched in 1959 in the Western Region of Nigeria. But only few Nigerians noticed their significance. 1. One of the leading pioneers of Nollywood, multiple award winning filmmaker, Mr. Fidelis Duker, the Founder and Executive Director of the annual Abuja International Film Festival and current Regional Secretary General of the Federation of Pan African Filmmakers (FEPACI) launched his FAD360 TV with FAD FM radio. 2.

Who owns Christmas? Jesus Christ or Santa Claus? This is the thought-;provoking subject of David Frum's article on the Huffington Post: Santa vs. Jesus and it is one of the most engaging articles on the debate of how the "religion" of Santa Claus is misappropriating the religion of Christianity for which Christmas is being celebrated in commemoration of the birth of the founder Jesus Christ our Lord and Messiah. This is really How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Of course How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is an allegory of how Santa Claus has stolen the birthday of Jesus Christ written by Dr. Seuss on the commercialization of Christmas and satirizes those who profit from exploiting the holiday. As we speak, Santa Claus has just left the North Pole for his Christmas Eve journey around the world, his reindeer-powered sleigh loaded with gifts for boys and girls. ... As much we should appreciate the goodwill and love in the sharing and exchange of Christmas gifts and gre...

Difret Difret is an Ethiopian movie based on real life events. It focuses on the case of Aberash Bekele (renamed as Hirut Assefa in the movie) who was 14 when she was abducted and raped then subsequently murdered her rapist in self-defense.  It also focuses on Meaza Ashenafi, the founder of the Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association, who acted as Hirut’s lawyer and defender throughout the movie. The movie tackles multiple issues with an emphasis on the issue of Women’s rights in Ethiopia, and one might extend that to the rest of the African continent. Difret is great for people interested in Women’s rights, especially in African countries, and if you’re looking for real life badass sheros to emulate.

Guess How Many Millions of Subscribers Have Watched "The Irishman" On Netflix There are “starters,” “watchers,” and “completers.” Starters only watch the first two minutes of a movie or TV show. Watchers get through about 70 percent, and completers finish it. Netflix hasn’t disclosed if that’s in one sitting or over multiple sittings. Nielsen reports that “an average minute audience of nearly 13.2 million viewers with a reach of over 17.1 million unique U.S. viewers” watched The Irishman within the first five days of its release. That’s better than El Camino, the Breaking Bad movie that debuted to 11 million views, but didn’t do as well as the meme-fueled Bird Box, which saw 26 million views within the same time fame. Nielsen isn’t a complete measure of viewing data as it doesn’t take into account global views (where the majority of Netflix’s subscriber base is), nor are these official Netflix numbers. Since Netflix doesn’t release statistics, however, Nielsen is the cl...

Our goal is to increase the global appreciation and competition for the acquisition of Nigerian movies. We want the major OTT streaming video platforms and multinational cable TV networks to pay more for Nigerian content in the entertainment industry. Because the price for the acquisition of content should be based on the quality and not on the locality. A good Nigerian movie should be sold for as much as a good American movie without overrating #Hollywood above #Nollywood. What makes a great movie is not the location of the filmmaker, but the magnitude of the creation in content and context of the subject. A genius is a genius, whether he or she is located in Lagos or New York. Because a movie was made in #Hollywood or #Bollywood does not automatically make it better and greater than a movie made in #Nollywood.

“Why does Alibaba still choose to make films? Because the film industry has unparalleled influence.

But class is above luxury. Money can buy luxurious living and lifestyle, but money cannot buy class.
