IMPOSTER ALERT...

Kript-Kachip, Kchip-Kchip Kachip; That is the sound my keyboard makes Every time I punch in some a letter as I was busy rewriting a script for Matashiya Productions next project. It was around 11pm on children's day May 27th 2018, sitting alone in the living room as everyone has gone to bed except myself trying very hard to beat deadline.

The sitting was extraordinarily quiet and I decided to put on the the television, and behold it was on NTA-i and there's this show on air titled "ALI BABA SERIOUSLY". The program was on, and I was busy punching my keyboard, paying little attention to the program until when I heard about a new movie titled "CRAZY PEOPLE", now that caught my attention (every filmmaker will understand). From the gist the film plot sounded familiar, but it's a movie, ideas sound familiar always. Everything was OK until the anchor asked the Producer if the story was a true life story, the Producer (Moses Inwang) answered that it wasn't (which is true) a true life story, but rather an original story (are you sure?) which he thought of after listening to Nigerians saying that "ones they start watching any Nollywood movie they can predict how it's going to end".

Oga Moses, in case you don't know, movie freaks like me have watched that movie since 2016, and it was played by SRK and they weren't speaking English in the one we watched but Hindi. Yes, after watching your crazy people trailer on NTA-i I knew I was watching the trailer of the Nigerian version of Bollywood's "FAN".

{FAN is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language thriller film directed by Maneesh Sharma and co-written by Sharma and Habib Faisal. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) in a double role as filmstar Aryan Khanna and obsessive fan Gaurav Chandra, who look just like each other. Gaurav beats up a rival actor to appease Aryan, but is instead punished by his idol; heartbroken, the fan plans revenge. It also stars Shriya Pilgaonkarand Waluscha de Sousa play supporting roles.}

The stories may differ, but I am writing this piece because I saw some scenes from your trailer that look more like SCENE-LIFTING, the coincidence is too coincidental. So the similarities may be a coincidence, but 70% similarities is all you need to crucify somebody for Copyright violation.

Now before you all start firing back at me, i seriously believe you should watch FAN and Crazy People too, because from the trailer there are almost 4-5 scenes that are already a Carbon Copy of the ones in FAN.

WATCH FAN Trailer 

and 

Crazy People Trailer 

So My Oga Moses if this is really a fresh idea from your head, and you and who ever is your writer have no idea that the movie FAN exists, then I remove my cap for you, from one writer/filmmaker to another, because I was so fascinated  with the movie FAN when I watched it 2 years ago, do for you to replicate something almost exactly the same two years later, without watching the first one, then na "Over Genius don do you". But if it is not then HABA, WHY Now? When we have lots of stories to tell in Nigeria that we don't need to copy any Hollywood or Bollywood. Stories like '76, 93 Days, Maami, Confusion Nawa, Blood and Henna that are originally ours.

If you have exhausted all your stories, then start looking for stories from other writers, we are a blessed country with a pool of talents and everyday, new writers are coming, am already planning retirement with this my little experience.

To make a movie is not that easy, so even at that I still hail you Mr. Moses Inwang (hope I spelled that correctly?). Oya lets go tell stories, keep making movies as the show must go on.

Most Nigerians Are Terrorists.

I think some Nigerians need a brain and conscious update.
We can't be a great nation if we continue being selfish and hypocritical.
It is so sad that when insurgence and terrorist attack and kill innocent lives in Jos, Benue and Taraba the first thing that comes to the mind of these set of people is "They are killing our people" and the other set are like "Thank God it is not our people". The story is vice-vasa when the killings happen in Kano, Sokoto, Borno, Yobe and Zamfara. But what is so annoying, painful and heartbroken is when i read post of elites, and respected members of the society saying things like "We should start revenging" or "Am happy they are now feeling what we felt" then you know that this Nation is in a state of great shambles.
How can people die and you call it film trick? How can you sleep in peace when women and children are being butchered? What does it make you, when Muslims kill Christians and you celebrate, A Good Muslim? No. Or when Christians kill Muslims and you Jubilate, A good Christian? No way. All of you thinking like that are nothing but bunch of Indolent, phony, melancholic, stupid, cowardic terrorist too.
I can't count the number of times I felt, sad, heartbroken and shed tears after reading, listening or watching the horrible tragedies of the brutality on innocent lives.
I keep asking myself, am I the only person who is not stupid in this country? Am the only one who is conscious about the writings in your scriptures that rules against the killings of innocent lives?  Am I the only person sensible enough to say no to revenge because you are not killing the same person that killed you family member or friend?  (this act only escapades the issue,  because his family will go after another family,  and that family will go after another.)
Am I the only person who doesn't care about Religion, Race,  tribe, region,  state, party or ethnicity when it comes to the issue of saving the lives of the innocent? I doubt it. So if you really exist,  and agree with me that Every life has a right to life and every life has the right live, then please put all your sentiments aside and join me in the campaign and let's all #SayNo2TheKillingsOfTheInnocents. And let us prove that Most Nigerians Are Terrorists.

Read it Somewhere

I read this somewhere and believe i should share with you all...

so if you're a writer and wants to get paid for the that? Then hurry up and read the message on Gamji Filmworks Script SuperMarket and thank me later...

INNOVATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY

Most a times nations fail due total dependability on the government, creating large number of unemployment as the government can not employ everybody. The call for self a self-employment has become over emphasized in virtually every developing nation, and the case is not any different here in Nigeria. One may wonder why many youths refuse to stand up and fend for themselves? When ever such questions are raised the common response is "the opportunities are not available in support of small and medium scale enterprises". Many opinions may differ, but if that is the case, then I expect to see many  youths creating jobs not just for themselves but for others too, as the BOI has created a platforms to support innovative ideas in establishing businesses to compliment that increasingly growing amount of unemployment in Nigeria.
Many may know of this platform, others maybe hearing it for the first time while the may think it's yet another fairy tale existing in movies and other bedtime stories. But here in Nigeria the story is a reality with the BOI initiative to support innovative ideas.
As long as you have an idea of a self sustain business Follow this link and get the opportunity you've been waiting for. I expect to see many youths springing up with their innovative ideas and access the opportunity meant for all of us, cause finally an opportunity is here for your innovative ideas...

The Rahama Sadau Saga...

The Rahama Sadau issue came and took over the social media like storm or rather a wild fire. During that period i voiced out my opinion, which was very much not hidden and it led to some people calling me names like "Dan Iska" "Bayahude" "Arne" "Mai raunin imani" etc. All these names are truly damming and highly painful to a Hausa-Muslim like me, but I have forgiven them all.
I noticed that some people deleted my post on their walls, and some even unfollow me or unfriend me on Facebook; its ok, but I want to make wanting clear, I wasn't insulting or disrespecting anybody with my posts and stance on the Rahama Sadau saga. You should all know that all i did was to speak out against what I don't believe in, and publicly criticize what I felt was wrong. Being straight forward, honest with your thoughts, and being supportive of a fellow colleague who's in need of our support. This are some of virtues we learned from predecessors. So if any of you feels Aggie Need to also make this clear, for those who those who think I may have a special interest on the Sadau's girl, well am not, infact never even met Rahama before. So for those offended by my post, am sorry, for those who find my post arrogant and disrespectful i also apologise, but know that I was only putting what I learn from someone greatly worthy of immolation, but since the truth has limits, i sincerely for being too naive to believe that "the truth shall set you free".  For that I also apologise. I also apologise for making the women in my life jealous, is they continuously complained that I never did stood for them, but I was busy saying #iStandWithRahamaSadau. Kuma am sorry.
Now to end this saga, I have my two cents on this Rahama Sadau case.

1. Art shouldn't be suppressed, either in film or music; that's like limiting creativity.

2. As much as we want to sanitize the industry in accordance with societal norms and values, there is a limit to which that can be done. In the first place, this industry thrives on art and creativity, and the media is a reflection of the larger society, as such we only try to replicate ("ACT") happenings in d society.... You don't expect people acting out a love scene not to show emotions through "innocuous" touching.

3. Others have done worse, no need mentioning names. But If one is going to be punished, then all offenders should. If her punishment is based on recent laws enacted by MOPPAN, the video was produced b4 the laws became active.

4. I think we have so diluted the culture and religion that we cant separate both again. Cultures differ and some allow for physical expression of love; religion on the other hand is a different ball game entirely.

5. If we are going to go by the tenets of religion, then the whole movie industry shouldn't exist in the first place cos it contravenes most religious tenets. The voice of a woman is sacred, so are her body, and she's not suppose to mingle with with someone whom marriage isn't forbidden between them (Are we still talking religion?).

6. Finally, is Kannywood a "Hausa" film industry or an "Islamic" film industry.... Note point 4 is where I bet my two kobo opinion.
This is just a case of actions and reactions, I sincerely apologise for any hurt feelings, or disrespectful, or grievances. We are just sharing opinions to agree and disagree.
