Chris Ihidero Unedited: How M-Net got its groove back & The silly backlash to follow

I was speaking with one of the most prolific Nollywood producers recently and she made mention of how it is becoming increasingly difficult to sell films to DStv now. ‘In those days, M-Net used to run after us for films but now we are the ones running after them and they are even rejecting films now,’ she said.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: What’s Nollywood’s effect on the NFI?

I am grateful GEJ lost. His good heart was about to ruin Nollywood. All that money was a problem, clearly. Thank God! I trust Buhari, one kobo he won't give us.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Whose Vagina Is It Anyway?

The person formally known as Bruce and now referred to as Caitlyn currently has a pair of boobs. There’s no vagina yet and a uterus is very unlikely to come any day soon but s(h)e insists she’s now a woman.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: As He Lay Dying: Tribute to a Great Father from a Proud Son

It’s been over a month since my dad’s passing and I still haven’t cried because I don’t know how to cry, because I saw my father cry only twice all his life: when his only sister’s only child, Aunty Nosa, died and when, early this year, he told about the night his mother died.

Open letter to President Buhari, please, don’t give Nollywood money

You have a head start where Nollywood is concerned sir. Many of the ‘leaders’ in the industry campaigned vigorously against you, like their lives depended on it. (Well, the livelihood of many of them depended on it.) So, you owe Nollywood ‘leaders’ no debt of allegiance. This is a great opportunity to revolutionise the industry sir.

FuturEverything Day1: What now for…Data Artists, Hackers, Beef and some Pudding?

So FuturEverything Festival has been a lot of fun so far. I’m attending on behalf of Nigerian Entertainment Conference, thanks to British Council Nigeria and FuturEverything. As always, seeing how others organize a festival of this magnitude helps one see what’s great and what’s not so great about a platform like NECLive.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: At the K1 Unusual Concert Music met its audience

I had looked forward to a Fuji music concert for a long while. I have often insisted that Fuji music is Africa’s rock music. If you have ever been to a Fuji music concert you’ll have noticed that it’s the least pretentious gathering you have ever witnessed.

Chris Ihidero Unedited: Thoughts on Africast 2014: Morning yet on digitisation day

In 2015 Nigeria will join the rest of the world in cutting over to digital transmission. Test transmission is already going on in Plateau state and the journey to full digital transmission for the whole country will begin next year. It will not be achieved overnight but it was heartwarming to see that the NBC is talking to people who have seen the process implemented elsewhere and presenting the realities of a digital cut over to players in the broadcast industry in Nigeria.
