Nollywood star on-screen character and comedian,John Okafor,popularly known as,Mr. Ibu, in this meeting communicates his reservations on the viability of the present hostile to defilement war even as he uncovered that Enugu State has plenteous inactive Nollywood possibilities yet undiscovered.
We are battling each moment. How would we succeed in life in that sort of air? Now,I sent a proposition for Film Village to the Federal Government. Just God in Haven knows climate it has gotten to the assigned point or not. The same thing was sent into the legislature of Enugu State. We are gathering information to find out where will be most suitable for refering to a Film Village. Enugu State scored 83%. It implies that if at any point we are going to have a film town, Enugu State is the most suitable across the nation. Second to Enugu is Lagos, with 53% then Owerri, Asaba, 38%,34% individually. That is the reason on the off chance that you observe most Nollywood films,t here areas are shot in Enugu.
So we have more point of interest than some other spot. We are anticipating having that film town in Enugu. It is essential. Let government make us answerable as opposed to looking beggarly,going to government houses et cetera. I guaranteed myself that I will never be a piece of the general population going to government houses looking for offerings. Our kin ought to quit heaping themselves in government houses. At the point when ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was in office,every minute they arrived requesting all maner of support. Also, the ex-President cherished us so much that he gave them gigantic cash. Each one of the individuals who occupied monies implied for AGN or Movie Makers will kick the bucket since they don’t have a clue about the souls they have executed. For 2016,if every one of these things are dealt with, AGN will improve. I am promising one thing, am not challenging anything on the AGN but rather, I have a considerable measure of amazements.
Since you said Enugu State positions most astounding for refering to of the Film Village, have you taken your proposition to the administration?
A lady working with me has sent in the proposition. The elected or state government won’t not spend much since we will simply ahead and get supports. They will come and construct a five-star lodging with a major door conveying a neon sign,AGN. Every one of the things one might require from every licensed individual from AGN will be there. We will be inhabitant inside the town. Individuals will come in,shoot pictures,shoot musicals among others. I have every one of these things inside. I similarly have companion who are not Nigerians willing to come and contribute.
What is your impression of the President Muhammad Buhari-drove government against debasement war?
It is too soon to battle this. I would have favored the administration to set their home all together first. Set the organization going,make the general population who voted you talk great of you as you are coming in. The degenerate individuals know themselves. While your great work is going on,you can then begin picking them in a steady progression. Whoever that has annoyed government knows he or she has done as such.
Government ought to set its home all together first. Let the great things about this organization stream first before the captures. Let Nigerians talk great of you to begin with, then you can now tell them,there are individuals who did this and that,that need addressing. In any case, beginning with this quarrel,fighting as another government,I don’t think it will offer assistance. Numerous individuals are discussing hunger,no money,collapsed organizations among others. They would have as a matter of first importance established great framework about their organization with the goal that individuals will feel them first. The change ought to be found in the people groups’ welfare and each other thing will take after. That is my own particular thought.
Can any anyone explain why most Nollywood movies tilt towards,ritual and fortune that are seen as lacking ethics?
Movies are an impression of the general public. No one trusts he is a destitute individual in Nigeria. We are attempting to give appropriate elucidation of what is occurring in the general public. Movies give back the life in the general public. But,already,we have held a meeting that all things ought to go and give route for movies harping on family,tragic,comedy stories. The issue is that the custom thing can’t go in the general public. My dad for occasion, was harmed to death by his closest companion. I was little then. At the point when my dad died,he enlightened my mom in a fantasy regarding three weeks after, that it was his closest companion that slaughtered him. In that dream,my father told my mother,invite the man who slaughtered me yet no one ought to hurt him.
My dad just as trained my mum to welcome my siblings and relations inside our compound. Let them know what I said. My mom welcomed the man, as my dad educated and different relatives. My fathers guideline was done precisely as it came. They told the man what my dad said. He denied and they said okay,you will eat the yam cooked on my dad’s grave. On the off chance that you didn’t do it,you will go home, yet in the event that you did it,you will pass on here. The yam was simmered on my dad’s grave in the vicinity of the man. Every one of the seniors in my town ate the yam and said the yam was sweat and that we didn’t place poison in the sustenance broiled on father’s grave. At that point came the turn of the man. The seniors requesting that he say that on the off chance that he was in charge of the demise of my father,Emmanuel Okafor,let this sustenance be the last nourishment he will eat.
In any case, in the event that he didn’t know anything about my dad’s death,let his life compass be expanded. The man who slaughtered my dad declined to eat it. Also, remember,my father had cautioned us in the dream,that we ought not touch him. When he refused,nobody touched him and he cleared out. That is to let you know that the ceremonies we are shooting is genuine. In any case, the new eras coming up,they are unaware about these creations. That is the reason we shoot movies to highlight these things with the goal that individuals will know and evade such underhandedness ways.
What happened to the money,ex-President Jonathan purportedly provided for the AGN as advance?
Chuckling… I didn’t see one naira oohhhh! I don’t know who prepared andcollected it. In the event that the cash was released,I don’t have the foggiest idea. On the off chance that they didn’t discharge it,I don’t have the foggiest idea. The general population why should assumed give us data, discussing the administration of AGN, did not let us know anything even the first $200 million,nothing was known about it. What am searching for is hectares of area for the Film Village,then I will leave act
Every one of the individuals who redirected cash from Jonathan will pass on — Ibu
