Politics / Re: Between Tai Solarin And IBB. by opebanwo: 8:35am On May 16
This whole story is a BIG LIE. This story is fanstasy and this writer should know better than writing or sharing fake news that will tarnish reputation of a GOOD man like Tai Solarin

This fictional account you shared Sounds good, but you should know it's fiction, a big lie, and a total revisionist story that's not even close to what really happened. Some of we were already all already old enough then and knew what happened.

In the first place, Tai Solarin NEVER ran People’s Bank. He was the NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN of the BOARD. The Managing Director, who actually RAN the bank, was MRS. MARIA SOKENU.

Solarin and the board members received allegations that Maria Sokenu and the executives were embezzling money and redirecting the loans to themselves and their pals. He had her investigated by the board.

The board found evidence, and Tai Solarin wrote to IBB and called a press conference to demand that the woman and her accomplices be dismissed and prosecuted for fraud.

IBB started playing games and not prosecuting the woman who was actually close to Tai Solarin before, but Tai Solarin insisted she must be prosecuted and jailed.

Tai Solarin then RESIGNED publicly with a full press release to explain why, when IBB refused to prosecute those who looted People's Bank.

Let’s all be more careful less we inadvertently follow them to spread lies about the memory of a good man.

My is Dr Ope Banwo and I know all this for a fact because I was old enough to follow the story very closely then. I graduated university in 1985.
Crime / Re: Am A Chinese, Let Me Tell You Why Chinese Supermarkets Refuse Nigerian Customers by opebanwo: 1:18pm On Apr 26
*Emmanuel Odafe And His Shameful Defense Of Chinese Apartheid And Racism in our Land*
(Dr. Ope Banwo, President of Naija Lives Matter Organization Responds To Emmanuel Odafe of VATLAD on His Press Release On The Chinese Apartheid In Nigeria
. FULL STORY AND MORE HERE: https://mayoroffadeyi.com/emmanuel-odafe-and-chinese-apartheid-in-nigeria/)

With all non-due respect to the Chinese and their Nigerian defender, Emmanuel Odafe, president of the Vanguard for Transparent Leadership and Democracy (VATLAD), the press release Mr Odafe just issued defending the discriminatory actions of the Chinese against Nigerians in an Abuja supermarket is a most insensitive one to the sensibilities of the people of Nigeria I have ever read in a long time. Nigerians remain outraged that Chinese, who are guests in our land, boldly decided to implement high-tech apartheid and racism in Abuja at a supermarket and estate built on Nigerian land. Yet, Mr. Odafe had the temerity to label such strong reactions as a sign of our inferiority complex as Nigerians?

*We at Naija Lives Matter Organization are outraged by the actions of the Chinese in our Land and the Press Release of VATLAD to justify it, and here is why:*

Firstly, Mr. Odafe and his Chinese apartheid-minded friends forgot that the Abuja estate in question is NOT the Chinese embassy and does not enjoy exclusive Chinese sovereignty. So, the issue of even conceiving, much less implementing a policy in an estate and supermarket that makes it 'exclusive to the Chinese' is wrong, asinine, and gaslighting to Nigerians. You can have amenities exclusive to residents of an estate, and that's normal anywhere, but to say the amenities like the supermarket or housing are exclusive to a certain race called 'Chinese' in our land is blatant apartheid, modern-day racism, and pure disregard for Nigerians as their hosts.

*Truth be told, Can Nigerians build an estate or supermarket in China, and then say ONLY NIGERIANS are permitted to live there or only NIGERIANS can shop in the supermarket but then use Chinese people as their security guards, clerks, and other lowly jobs in those same structures located inside China?* Is that not the very definition of apartheid and racism? Would Chinese have stood for that? Even in USA where they have Chinaland, they cannot say Americans can’t shop in their supermarket or live there. These individuals must think we are all idiots in Nigeria.

*Secondly,* some Nigerians obviously live in that estate because the Press Release even admits that not everyone there is a Chinese man. Nigerians also WORK in that restaurant because we heard them confirming that their bosses gave them instructions to not allow Nigerians to enter or shop there (not that they cannot allow nonresidents to enter or shop which makes a big difference).

*So, it is not just a slap on us as Nigerians for some Chinese economic refugees in our land to now say they have a store that is exclusive to Chinese people in an estate that has Nigerian residents and Nigerian workers, but a very annoying gesture for another Nigerian to now come out and defend that action as okay as Mr. Odafe just did.* What a shame.

Of course you can always have a store or restaurant or business that only exclusive Chinese menu, but you can’t say only Chinese can come and buy it. How do they know some Nigerians don’t like to eat frogs or dogs or whatever strange things they sell in there? Or are the Chinese now going to tell us in Nigeria what we can eat or not eat?

*Thirdly* , the Chinese, through their Nigerian defenders like Mr. Odafe, just told us to our face that they are practicing racism and apartheid right on our land, and to our face, with the  self-contradictory press release from VATLAD. T *hey claimed they have an exclusive Chinese restaurant for exclusive Chinese customers, but they employ Nigerians to work there as clerks, cashiers, and guards. Why? If it's all exclusive to Chinese, why do you have Nigerians in your estate or as your labor force? Is that not slavery and apartheid?* In other words, these Chinese are saying Nigerians can work at menial jobs in a place they can't shop in or live in? Damn!

I thought this stuff only used to happen in the USA in the 50s and 60s where blacks can work in a neighborhood or  restaurant that they are not allowed to eat in, and work in a building where they can't even use the toilet as blacks? Even the Americans have moved beyond this kind of Neanderthal thinking, but these Chinese want to start it afresh in Nigeria? The South Africans took decades to fight off Apartheid that is structured exactly like this and God forbid the Chinese transplanting that Nazi concept here. We will not allow it and *Mr. Odafe was out of line to stand up for them and sell out his own brothers and sisters to the Chinese under the guise of doing Transparency and Leadership. What’s transparent or leadership-like in an Apartheid throw-back policy?*

*Fourthly* , it is even more annoying and gaslighting for a full-blooded Nigerian, in the person of Mr. Igbini Odafe Emmanuel, President of the Vanguard for Transparent Leadership and Democracy (VATLAD), to allow himself and his organization to be used or manipulated to defend this unacceptable racism by these modern-day Chinese slave-masters and imperialists. *We are very offended that he would say in his annoying press release, while trying to justify this apartheid policy in 2024, that "the problem with most of us, Nigerian Elites, is that we make ourselves unnecessarily inferior before other Races. We are not proud of ourselves, Who and What we are," WHAAAT! So, we are suffering from inferiority complex now, just because Nigerians are demanding equal access to a property on our land and in our midst?.*

We don't know the kind of elite person Mr. Odafe is, but the real elites and even non-elite Nigerians we know are very proud people about their race and color, and that is why they are not allowing this very clear apartheid and racism to stand in their land. *Seriously, unless you are blinded by the need to defend the indefensible, how can you think insisting on access to a supermarket located in Nigeria by Nigerians is being inferior to the Chinese? Only a confused man will try to spin our outrage at being discriminated against in our own country as evidence that we think we are inferior to Chinese of all people. Inferior to Chinese? Seriously? Give me a break!*

As an organization commiting to better life for all Nigerians, and for which every Nigerian life matters, We are embarrassed at the extent some Nigerians will go to sell out their own people to modern-day Chinese imperialists by outrightly turning logic and common sense on its head in a bid to justify the unjustifiable for their friends. This Nigerian man, Emmanuel Odafe, as president of VATLAD, has obviously crossed over from being an advocate for Transparency and Leadership  to becoming a colluding participant in regrettable racial profiling of his own people and its just a crying shame.

In conclusion, we say without any reservations that we are fully in support of the Nigerian government swiftly shutting down this genesis of an apartheid policy in our land by the Chinese who keep abusing our hospitality as Nigerians on several issues they will never tolerate in their own land.

My name is Ope Banwo, and on behalf of Naija Lives Matter Organization and the citizens of 'Nigerian Fadeyi', say we stand strongly against this new Chinese plot to establish apartheid right under our noses. We the citizens of Fadeyi also will NOT AGREE for any Chinese man on this issue. That policy of excluding people from an estate or supermarket, not just because of residency in the estate, but because of the color of their skin and nationality as Nigerians, as we can all see, cannot stand.

Politics / Re: Peter Obi's Borehole: When A Time Bomb Is More Accepted Just Because Of Hatred. by opebanwo: 9:27pm On Apr 11
Peter Obi’s Boreholes And The Hypocrisy Of Some Ungrateful Nigerians (Read full story from Dr Ope Banwo here: https://mayoroffadeyi.com/peter-obis-boreholes-and-the-hypocrisy-of-nigerians/)

First to be clear, As Founder of Naija lives matter Organization, I am officially now unaligned to any party after the election as our focus is now on what is best for Nigeria and Nigerians and not any political personality or party.

However, I am somewhat miffed and disappointed that many Nigerians think it’s acceptable to criticize Peter Obi, a FORMER presidential candidate with no official portfolio, for his commendable charitable act of constructing simple boreholes for some communities.

How is this a negative action or something he should be ashamed of?

Is he their elected governor or local government chairman?

If the communities really think it’s beneath them then they should reject it and use the one provided by their elected officials, if any!

Obviously it is becos their local officials failed them that someone like Peter Obi could even be in a position to give them some boreholes.

So, I say Shior to all @PeterObi CRITICS CONCERNING THE WATER BOREHOLE ISSUE, PLEASE BE SILENT!

The truth is only a confused and ungrateful people would criticize a private citizen for using his own money to do what your local government cannot, by providing a basic amenity like water to rural areas.

These are areas previously relying on muddy water from dirty streams. To them, a borehole represents a MAJOR improvement in their standard of living even if that sounds crazy to those of us with comfortable houses abroad or locally . So, it is senseless and uncharitable to criticize him for providing a practical, basic, and inexpensive solution. Or did you all expect him to implement massive piped water systems just because he is a politician, even though he does not hold any elective post or have a budget from the people?

It’s just plain annoying! We elected officials with huge budgets who do nothing, yet want to criticize a private citizen for doing the little he can?

In any case, a borehole, like what Peter Obi provided, is exactly what’s sensible for some rural areas at their current level of development. That’s just a fact and not an insult. Even my own village in Ijebu imushin would probably appreciate more boreholes right now that will give them immediate access to drinkable water than to wait on long promises from politicians that may not be fulfilled for years! Full disclosure: Myself and my siblings DID build a borehole for our village a few years back and they are eternally grateful for it. Or would then say we should go do major pipe-borne water project with our little resources ?

This whole dragging is even nonsensical because many high brow and prosperous areas even in urban cities rely on boreholes for survival!

FYI, even at my lagos house in a prestigious estate off Chevron in high-end Lekki, where the cheapest house is probably around N200 million now or over N8 million rent annually, we still rely on a borehole just like that one Peter Obi gifted those communities at the back for our water because the government piped water does not flow regularly!!!

I also notice that many areas in Lekki, Victoria Island, and Ikoyi have similar boreholes. So why are the hypocrites complaining? Or are you all trying to say your house, village, or city, regardless of where you live, does not have a borehole?

You know, even in areas where you have government piped water, drinking water directly from the tap without a serious anti-dysentery medicine nearby is a risky endeavor.

Of course, our nation and its people deserve better in 2024. We deserve good piped water that is DRINKABLE, but we mostly do not have it due to government corruption and inefficiency. So, wherever we see someone willing to spend their money to provide a borehole, we must applaud it instead of criticizing them, perhaps because we disagree with their politics.

Stop conflating issues, people; it’s misguided and leave Peter Obi alone!

Politics / Re: “Saudi Aramco Also Imports US Crude Oil” - Ventures Africa by opebanwo: 7:06pm On Mar 11
*Why is Dangote Refinery importing crude oil when it has yet to refine a liter of local crude oil from Nigeria? A Case Of Misguided Profiteering Or Sabotage By NNPC ?*

I was stunned to read in the newspapers that Dangote Refinery, which has barely just commenced operations, is already importing crude oil from abroad even when it has not refined a drop of petrol from our locally produced crude oil.

What's going on here? So, we continue to export our locally produced crude oil, but our own local refineries are importing crude oil from abroad? Somebody help me out. When did we move from a Fadeyi economy being managed by Ikoyi economists, to a full-blown Voodoo economy where nothing makes logical sense again?

I know that before those of us in Fadeyi can even shout ‘foul!’ to this development, our Ikoyi economists and private sector economic apologists will roll out their PowerPoint slides and ‘explain’ to us in the big English they learned from Harvard why nothing is wrong with a ‘private company’ importing its raw materials from abroad.

Well, since I am not an economist, I don't know if it is unusual or not to import crude oil in a country with the biggest production of crude oil in Africa and which exports all its crude oil, but I must say that I am very confused about this development.

In the first place, I thought the problem we all were complaining about before was our lack of local refineries to refine our own crude oil locally, which forced us to keep exporting it only to buy back finished materials from foreign markets at 10X and 20X the cost? I thought this ‘Esau Approach’ to economic management is how we got into this mess in the first place.

My more educated Ikoyi economists can correct me if I am wrong, but I had also assumed that the whole rationale behind building refineries and granting people like Dangote significant foreign exchange concessions (most of which they round-trip anyway) was to enable him to quickly bring his local refinery online to refine *our* crude oil so we can then get finished petrol and other byproducts from crude oil at a significantly cheaper price?

1. So I must call out our Ikoyi-minded economic Siamese twins of Wale Edun and Dr. Cardoso as well as Mr. Heineken Loquobiri and Mrs. Ekpo Ministry of Natural Resources and ask them what’s going on here? What are you all not telling us? Is it that we really don’t have any crude oil for Dangote refinery to refine because our government has mortgaged our crude oil reserves for the next 10 years to borrow money for their largely ineffective “borrow and dump” strategy to deal with galloping inflation and ever-rising rates of exchange of the Dollar to our local Naira?

2. Or could this development of our biggest refinery importing crude oil from abroad in an economy with millions of barrels of locally produced crude oil daily, be a more sinister sabotage of our local industrialists by the NNPC refusing to sell crude oil to Dangote in a most disgusting political power play if rumors on the streets of Fadeyi could be believed?

Since I am not in government, I am not going to presume to know the real facts from fiction, but in a Fadeyi economy where most rumors are often more accurate than officially stated positions, maybe it’s time we start dragging our leaders to explain to us what’s really going on here.

So here are our questions to the coordinator of our economy, Chief Wale Edun, and his brother Dr. Cardoso in charge of our currency, and Mr. Heineken in the petroleum ministry:

i. Why is Dangote not getting crude oil from our NNPC? If NNPC had crude oil and Dangote refused to buy from them, opting instead to buy his crude oil in the ‘free market’ instead, as someone disingenuously posted in a group I belonged to, how come nobody is reminding him that Dangote Refinery is really not a ‘private company’ for him to do as he pleases with?

After all, Dangote Refinery enjoyed preferential rates of dollars for years as part of the whole nation encouraging him to finish that refinery that is a ‘national asset’. The truth that we all know is that Dangote was getting dollars at a little N300 to $1 at a time when other businesses not so favored were getting it at N500 to $1 🤷🏿‍♂️.

Even when Dangote ran out of money for this same refinery, our government designated it a national asset to be supported and invested billions of regular people’s commonwealth in the refinery project to prevent the refinery from going under. So, he definitely cannot now claim ‘private company’ or claim it was his ‘private property’ to do as willed. If indeed Dangote is claiming this ‘independent’ choice of action, has anyone whispered the reality into his ears?

For sure, under the unemotional laws enforced by Ikoyi lawyers and pronounced so by our well-groomed Ikoyi-trained judges interpreting legislation passed by Ikoyi-minded legislators, one could argue Dangote Refinery is private property. However, in the stark reality of the unwritten Fadeyi ethos, if your neighbors contributed money for your education, and your uncles and aunts gave you little garri, and some rice from their scant resources, and gave you ‘pocket money’ now and then while you were going to school as part of the community support for you and your father to help you graduate, unless you are a bastard you will KNOW your degree is not just your ‘private’ property after your graduation, and would be ready to divorce any Ikoyi or Oyinbo wife who gets upset with you for always sending money home to Aunty Dupe or Uncle Femi to help them out, or for buying lots of presents to give to your ‘uncles and aunties’ every time you visit Nigeria.

There is a reason you don’t argue when your father collects 100% of your first salary from you and then distributes it to different elders in your family and on your street. My father explained that one to me very clearly when it was my turn to drop my first salary, and I never forgot the lesson. It’s what makes our Nigerian community very different from the New York one.

It’s an unwritten rule in Fadeyi economics. It took the whole of Fadeyi (poor and rich) to train you, and when you finally make it, you also understand you must take care of the Fadeyi elders and help out when the community needs you to donate at a fundraiser to clear the gutters. Nobody will even need to remind you of your obligations if you are not a bastard. It’s what made our culture unique.

My point? The entire ‘village’ of Nigeria contributed to making Dangote Refinery a reality (we all did, through our government giving him favorable forex rates from our collective wealth and the Lekki land deals allowing him to acquire land at massive discounts), so he cannot just wake up after the fact and claim the refinery solely belongs to him and his family as 'private property' and tell us he has the freedom to ignore patronizing our local crude oil for foreign ones even if ours is more expensive! He also cannot tell us we must all buy from him at the same international market rates without any concession. Lai Lai.

II. If, on the other hand, he denies allegations of refusing to buy our local crude but claimed that we simply don’t have enough crude oil locally to satisfy his ‘huge’ refinery, then we need to know if indeed the capacity of this Dangote refinery is so much greater than the crude oil we produce locally that Dangote now needs to import more crude oil to meet his huge production capacity, less than 3 months of being operational?

Can a refinery that has not even produced 1 liter of petrol or 1 liter of byproduct of crude oil have consumed all our daily crude oil production that it now needs to import more to remain operational? This explanation also makes no sense unless they think we are all idiots because we didn’t go to Harvard or live in Ikoyi.

iii. Or could the reason Dangote is importing crude oil be that we really don’t have any crude oil to sell to his Dangote refinery, thereby forcing him to import crude oil from abroad with the same forex that the duo of Edun and Cardoso and every bank executive keep telling us we don’t have? Or are they just winding us?

If this possible explanation is true, and we really didn’t have crude oil to sell to Dangote refinery because, like Esau, we have already sold all our future inheritance of crude oil for the next 10 years in exchange for borrowed dollars to use in our ‘borrow and dump’ strategy for dealing with currency fluctuations, then what’s the whole point of rushing to commission a refinery that our government knew will have a negative or zero net effect on our local PMS consumption? After all, it’s hard to argue that forex-backed imported crude oil will be cheaper than the one produced in Dangote’s backyard with the Naira. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Or is any one of those Harvard-trained Ikoyi economists going to seriously argue that the local prices of finished fuel made from imported crude oil will be cheaper than finished fuel made from locally sourced crude oil?

iv. Or maybe all the thoughts above are not the even real reasons Dangote is now full-chest importing crude oil. Could it be because those who are holding our country hostage, in and out of government, are simply just frustrating the efforts of Dangote refinery to acquire crude oil from Nigeria through NNPC?

As incredible as this possible explanation may sound, this is the loud rumor we are now hearing at Mama Modinat’s buk ka from sisi Amebo, who seemed to know everything going on even before it happened😎😎😎

As crazy as it sounds, I am now inclined to believe this loud rumor that there is some disgusting political play going on here, where NNPC is refusing to sell crude oil to Dangote for whatever reason.

Yes, I say I am inclined to believe this seemingly absurd rumor because we all watched as a government that is struggling with forex reserves, and a government that inherited a dying local production sector with many manufacturing companies folding up daily, chose to spend millions of our scarce dollars in importing foreign cars for its legislators and government functionaries when there are local car manufacturers like Innoson literally begging and bending over backward to get their business. If our government could choose not to patronize local car manufacturers, it’s not unreasonable to believe that some of our government officials or operatives of NNPC may choose to frustrate Dangote refineries for whatever petty reasons they have.

Our government of Renewed Hopes chose to dash the hopes of local car manufacturers by patronizing foreign manufacturers at the expense of its own struggling local manufacturers of vehicles. It’s the most unreasonable politics of victimization against Innoson motors, and very few people called it as it is. Now could it be the same lack of patronage by our NNPC or government officials playing dangerous political games with our collective welfare, that have forced the hands of Dangote to look towards the importation of its needed crude oil?

I don’t know what’s true or not, but I think we should all care less if Innoson is owned by Igbos or Hausas or Kanuris or if owners supported a different candidate or not. It should have been a priority national asset that the government should have gone out of its way to support. If they could deny Innoson and other car companies in Nigeria the much-needed support for whatever reason that was never made clear to us, then I can definitely believe that some people in this government and other powerful people outside of it may not want Dangote refinery to succeed.

Reading about Dangote importing crude oil when we are still exporting our own crude oil just gives me a headache because I can’t find any logic in that scenario. Our local refineries have not met the demand for even one liter of finished product from locally sourced crude oil, yet we are now talking about it being ‘normal’ for our newly commissioned local refineries to import crude oil from abroad with dollars we don’t have?

Anyway you look at this national saga of Dangote importing crude oil in Africa’s biggest producer of crude oil, it makes no sense and we demand an explanation!

So, while I hesitate to drag President Buhari himself on this at this time until I get more clarity, we must nevertheless ask the ministers he appointed first before we come for him. So, Chief Wale Edun, our coordinator of economy, Mr. Heineken Loquobiri and Mrs. Ekpo, our ministers of state for petroleum, and of course my favorite man of the hour, Dr. Cardoso, our Forex Czar, what’s really going on here?

Until we can get clear answers that make common sense, it’s like our Nigerian economy is about to transition from a Fadeyi economy to a Voodoo economy, where nothing makes sense to a rational person. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

My name is Ope Banwo. I am not an economist but as a self-appointed Mayor of Fadeyi, I demand answers on behalf of ‘my people’. 🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🙌🙌🙌
Music/Radio / Re: Search Begins For Who Will Play Dagrin In 'ghetto Dreams' Movie On His Life And by opebanwo: 11:01am On Jul 22, 2010
I think people really are interested in this. Also some of the proceeds is to be given to his family and to a foundation to help young artistes. I think that is better than the way alaba people have been releasing his songs without paying any rotyalty to anybody or his parents. Bottom line is that this movie will be done by somebody at some point. It may as well be done in a way that will be beneficial not only to his parents but also some struggling artistes.
Music/Radio / Search Begins For Who Will Play Dagrin In 'ghetto Dreams' Movie On His Life And by opebanwo: 9:12pm On Jul 21, 2010
Nationwide Search For Who Will Play Dagrin In ‘Ghetto Dreams’
….Wande Coal, Dj Zeez, Trybson, Konga Lead 22 Other Contenders In The Role For The Big Role

As the countdown begins for the shooting of the much talked about movie on the life and times of the popular late rapper, Dagrin, titled Ghetto Dreams, the award winning Director of the movie, Lancelot Imasuen and the Producer, Ope Banwo of Stingomania Entertainment have started a nationwide manhunt for the actor that will play the all important role of Dagrin himself in the movie.

According to Mr. Lancelot Imasuen, ‘we need to search carefully and diligently for the actor that is not only a Dagrin look-alike but one that can also act very well and mimic the mannerisms of the late rapper. Since the search began about 2 weeks ago, we have had lots of names suggested and nominated by industry practitioners for consideration of the role of Dagrin’.

Some of the names that are being pushed by different interest groups, producers and artiste managers to play Dagrin in ‘GHETTO DREAMS’  include many unknown names as well as some big names in the entertainment industry. Some of the names presently being considered include Wande Coal, DJ Zeez, Konga, Trybson Dudukoko, Whichlevelz, and Sunkanmi Omobolanle. As of last count, there were about 22 names under consideration.

According to Lancelot Imasuen, the Director of the Movie, ‘we will look at these people thoroughly and eventually invite most of the interested people for an auditioning that will allow us to pick the best person’. Lancelot is excited at the opportunity to direct a movie that will immortalize the dreams, struggles and inspirations of one of the young upcoming stars who tragically died just as his sun was rising.

On a parallel level, while the search for Dagrin hots up, there is also a careful search for 3 critical people in the movie including the person that will play Dagrin’s father, Mother, sister and a love angle to the story. As for who will play Dagrin’s mother, the leading contenders appear to be Bukky Wright while Funke ‘jenifa’ Akindele and Omoni Oboli appear to be odds on favorite to be the sister or the love angle based on their relationship to Stingomania Entertainment. Lancelot Imasuen however insists that that is not necessarily the case since he intends to pick the best people for the different parts subject to their availability and budget.

The Ghetto Dreams project is the initiative of Ope Banwo of Stingomania Entertainment and it involves 3 different stages. The Ghetto Dreams movie part will give some of the proceeds from the movie to the Dagrin family while part of it will go towards a foundation to help young and upcoming artistes to get off the ground and remain grounded as their careers take off. A Ghetto Dreams Award is also being organized for up and coming musicians as part of the annual ritual to memorialize what Dagrin represented for young, struggling and aspiring musicians.
