Career / Partners Needed For A Magazine. by EkeneOlaedo(m): 1:35pm On Aug 28, 2017
Hello everyone, I'm Olaedo, a Mass Communication Student in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
I am about working on launching a lifestyle and Fashion magazine later this year.

Thing is, I need partners and I need them Asap. Partners would include, co-producers, writers/editors, models, Photographers, makeup artists and graphics designers.

Also, Sponsors are needed, and if you are willing to place an advert at a cheap price, you are welcome as well.

Note: Every partner except writers must be in primarily in any of Enugu state and Anambra. People in other states in the south east are welcomed. The reason for this is because I need people who are close enough to facilitate easy running of things.

Sponsorship can come from any part of Nigeria.

Any interested person should call or text (inbox or WhatApp) this number: +2348064866197. No beeping please.
TV/Movies / If You Had The Chance To Erase One Movie From History, Which Would You Choose? by EkeneOlaedo(m): 10:44am On Jul 31, 2017


“It has to be this movie with the men and women thinking they have gold flowing in their veins.” Lol.

Gods of Egypt happens to be among the worst choreographed, worst acted and worst scripted movies of the twenty-first century and all times. A movie with the silliest plot I have ever seen.

When I first watched the trailer of this movie, I suspected something awry was about to be dished out despite the fact that my friends thought otherwise. At first, I noticed the prevalence of white casts used to depict Egypt. A turn off for me…

Despite the fact that I wasn't impressed by the trailer, I still decided to watch the movie all the same and when I did, what greeted me was total disappointed. At a point, I was angry, amused and scuffing at the bundle of garbage produced by Lionsgate.

The acting was poor, gods looked like total robots when transformed, the story was unbelievable and pretty ridiculous (I mean, a beast drinking up the nile?).



Another problem I had with it was it's Racial casting. I wondered why will this movie still choose to go down history as one that vehemently refused to see the ills of depicting Egypt as a white civilization and correct it. A big minus. No wonder it received a massive backlash on Twitter for that reason. I mean, anyone could have seen that coming, well except Alex Proyas and Basil Iwanyk. What on earth were they thinking? That the movie was going to become the next Avatar of the box office? ‘scuffs’

The films visual effects were an unbelievable crap thanks to its dullness and reliance on CGI. And then the actors were so poor in their acting that they always had to wait upon a Thorth, different from their white skin, to always come to their aid. He was the only excitement the movie tried to offer. I even wondered why Gerard Butler would agree to act in such a movie. Despite his prowess as an actor, I kept wondering if he really was the one in the movie or someone resembling him. Geoffrey Rush too.

Now, no more to be said for the sake of resting my nerves and saving my time, but if I had one shot at removing a movie from history, then I won't think twice about deleting this movie from the trashcan where it already is.

Politics / Why Has Nigeria Not Broken Up Despite Serial Predictions To That Effect? by EkeneOlaedo(m): 9:48pm On Jul 30, 2017
The continuous existence of a one sovereign Nigeria is because of many factors which have made its breakup seem absolutely impossible.

Let me state clearly as many will agree that the togetherness has quite frankly and truthfully not benefited it's people as should have.

Nigeria as a country is made up of 250 or more ethnic groups and has over 500 spoken languages. Three of those ethnic groups- the Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba- constitute the majority groups, while the rest are in the minority. It is a country made up of people with varying cultures, ideologies, religions, dress codes etc.

Anthrologically, the people making up Nigeria are so dispersed that they could not have co-existed together in one country. In 1914, something happened. Amalgamation Happened. In a moment of unapologetic decision taken, fueled by the strong will to maximize profit and grow economic interest, the then Governor of the Northern Protectorate Sir. Fredrick Lugard, joined the Northern and Southern Protectorates together to become what is today Nigeria without the consent of the local people. This marriage was further solidified with the full ushering in of the Federal system of government through the Lytleton’s constitution…

Some concrete factors that have contributed to the non-breakup of Nigeria including

Influence from World Powers

After independence, Nigeria was a country eager to see its people control everything about its affairs, but many even till this day agree that a country like Britain still indirectly decides what becomes of the state of affairs of the country, one of them being the continouos coexistence as one Nigeria so as to protect their economic interest in Oil, etc. For example, this was made manifest when during the Nigeria-Biafra war, Prime Minister Wilson's government joined the Russian government in throwing an overwhelming military support for the Nigerian side despite sincere calls from many sections of Britain advising against it. This contributed to one outcome, it's reintegration into the Nigerian State achieved through the starvation and total ideological, cultural, linguistic, and military defeat of Biafra. Britain simply wanted to keep its largest brain child in Africa together.

It has over the years been questioned why Britain would refuse to see a section of Nigeria exist as a State, but will do the same in other place like South Sudan, help create a State of Israel from Palestine, grant Scotland referendum, push for Brexit, but will not swoop into support the call for referendum so as to help address the issue of Biafra for example.

Dominance of Ethnic Groups/Regions over another
.
The issue of domination is one that is prevalent despite every effort towards eradicating it. This as many observers point out was instituted into the Nigerian state by the help of Britain who gave some particular ethnic groups/regions undue advantage over another. This ideology of dominance as they put it, makes the coexistence of Nigeria at all cost of paramount value to them. As some observe, Nigeria was not only amalgamated just to protect the British economic interest, but also as a means of enriching the North with the wealth of the South, a reason they believe is why the North sees the call for secession as an act of war, because of what they seemingly have to lose. This dominance position given to the North and made stronger by Britain in people's views is they reason why they for example vehemently reject the clamour for a sovereign Biafra. They also conclude that if the North for example were the owners of what over the years has contributed the greatest bulk of the country's wealth ( crude oil), then the country would have been devided a long time ago.

The notion of Greater as one, weaker as many

There is a belief by many that Nigeria is better of, stronger if together than split. This is today part of the reasons why despite all the country have been through, they still believe it it better to coexist together a one indivisible people than to go their separate ways. Those who believe in this take the United States of America as a case study in trying to prove this assertion.

There is a saying in Igbo that, “Igwe bu ike (many is power),” and many feel this should be the case with Nigeria. To them, being together should be paramount and fought for at all cost.

I may not be 100% correct as many will disagree with me, stating that I have not presented what might be deemed as pure fact, but I know that the points I have put down are very much shared by many in the country today and can't be overlooked in trying to answer the question above.

Some Nigerians are not yet ready for a Breakup

Many believe that if Nigeria at all must breakup, it must be done when the different regions of the country are well matured to take their of their affairs so as not to end up becoming another South Sudan. They believe that any part of the nation leaving must be in a position where it's economy must be buoyant enough to support it after it breaksup.

Fear of losing Property and Source of Living

This point may be disagreed on by some, but they cannot deny that on of the reasons why many reject the call for a divided Nigeria is because of the fear that they may lose their investments and assets with Billions/Trillions in part of the country not ancestrally theirs. This is prevalent among many Igbos who are the most travelled among the rest of the people making up Nigeria. They are afraid, because of what they experienced during the past war, when properties belonging to Igbo outside their indigenous lands (Port Harcourt an Igbo city not left out) were designated as abandoned property and occupied by non-owners. This class of Igbos are partially/vehemently against the breakup of Nigeria today.

Politics / Nigeria And The Crave For Change: A Discourse by EkeneOlaedo(m): 11:21pm On Jul 27, 2017

...Indeed there is a crave for change; a change that respects the rule of law and rights of everyone despite one’s age, sex, social position, religious affiliation, ethnicity and so on, and one that understands the law of checks and balances, and implements it. It is not one that gives undue advantage to some at the detriment of others. This same change, is one which demands that all who go against the law be brought to book and that justice, equity and fairness be given. It is a change which would ensure a Nigeria where one is not segregated, through peaceful co-existence and general acceptance, through one-central nationhood which represents the interest of everyone.

There is crave for change; a change which is of no respects to corruption, preaches accountability, equity, and meritocracy, and punishes radical trampling of the rights of others. This change we crave for is one which demands security for everyone, not one which demands that the leaders be provided with bodyguards while leaving the masses to their fate. It abhors the rich getting richer and the poor poorer under a disguise that the country is practicing a mixed economic system while capitalism continues to expend its roots every day.

The change we crave for is one which demands for good universal education, provision of jobs with adequate wages, youth empowerment and provision of good public infrastructure and public amenities. It allows the youth to be part of decision making, not encourage absolute gerontocracy, despotism and rotation of those in power.

Nigeria and the crave for change should be now or never. If we want a country of economic, agricultural, societal and human progression, then, it is high time we let change take effect for the generations to come.

Nigeria and the change we crave for, is our priority, duty and obligation. God bless Nigeria.

It's really a pity seeing our young men die to protect the country. But, let us be consoled knowing that someone must pay the price to safeguard others. I can be me tomorrow, it can be anybody.
