Yinka Akanbi

Let's take the fight to the streets. I siezed these sour harvest of pirated copies of October 1st from the hawkers. Please don't forget to turn the siezed copies upside down.

  • Adeyemi Oginni The boys, too, need to be seized, chained down and interrogated for retrieving of necessary information. The assistance of the authority is highly required here. Good job on your part, oga Yinka.

    • ons. Oju boro ko gbomo lowo ekuro...I have in my possession copies of October 1st that I personally seized between Maryland and Ogba today. The boys were ready to run the moment one starts engaging them in questions. There is no pity for the boy hawker. They are all in the chain of thieves. DT Wed, 15 Apr 2015 5:00:07 PM.

    • Olumuyiwa Saint Asha This people see nothing wrong in what they do cos there is no one to take them down. we see them every day on the street and i think it's the right time to bring them to book starting from their retailer,creating fear in them will send message to their big boss.

    • Iroja Oluwafemi Solomon Great job for the fight against piracy et al. However, to really tackle this problem, we must go to the root. Suffice it to say that most of the hawkers of the pirated movies and musicals are not nonentities like some people will have us believe, instead they are products of a Soviet where the government can not provide employment. Let me ask us how many of us think they would rather be running inside traffic come rain come shine all in the name of selling some nonsense home videos. So let's start by asking the government, WHERE ARE THE JOBS!!
      Secondly, few years ago I visited a friend around Oregun in Ikeja, Lagos. While strolling, he showed me a high fenced building which looks to me to be uninhabited but he said activities in this place starts from 8pm to 6am. He said they only receive cash in this place and no matter the number of copies you want to do, as far as your money is ready, you'll get it before dawn. He further a big politician in Nigeria owns the place. So we can all see how difficult it will be to fight the powers that militate against our industry. To win this war, I believe we need to be consistent in our advocacy, take the fight to the national assembly, state assemblies, police headquarters, TV and radio stations, newspapers. We must get organised not as PMAN or AGN or any of those but as JUST CONTENT OWNERS! THIS WAR IS WINNABLE but the effort has to be concerted. God bless the movers and shakers of our creative industry.

Odunlade Kolade....marriage in trouble

Image
To many lovers of Yoruba movie industry, the name Odunlade Adekola is like what Omotola Jalade Ekeinde or Genevieve Nnaji mean to Nollywood. No wonder he is one of the highest paid actors in that sector of the Nigerian film industry. Apart from being an actor, Odun, as he is well known by fans, is also a Glo ambassador. He has also had his share of romantic scandals since gaining fame some years ago. Not too many people know that the Abeokuta, Ogun State-based actor is married with kids. We got hold of a picture showing Odun having fun with his two sons. The children took after him as the boys are replica of Odunlade Adekola also known as Sunday Dagboru. When he displays his dexterity in any of the home videos, virtually every lover of his work will thumb him up but it’s not the same thing at the home front. The reason being that, there are rumours that between his wife and Odunlade’s family, all is not well and his marriage is said to be seriously under fire

Top 25 Words NigeriansCommonly Mispronounce

Some weeks back we started some articles aimed at exposing 25 Commonly mispronounced words. Here is the concluding part  16. Curse/cause/course. Many Nigerians have a hard time distinctly pronouncing the words “cause,” “course,” and “curse.” They are all pronounced “kos.” British English speakers pronounce “curse” like “kes,” except that the “e” sound (which is kind of like the “e” sound in “met”) is long. Americans pronounce it “keRs,” also with a long “e” sound. “Cause” is pronounced “koz” with a short “o” sound (which is close to the “o” sound in “all”), and “course” is pronounced “kos” with a long “o” sound. In American pronunciation, the “r” in “course” is, of course, articulated to have something like “koRs.” 17. Debris . A lot of Nigerians I know pronounce the last letter in this word and render the “i” sound like it’s a short one. But native speakers pronounce it like “debree.” That means the last “s” is never sounded and the “i” sound is long. But there are v
