In 1996, the United Nations general assembly declared November 21 World Television Day. The UN recognized television as having an increased impact on decision making as well as being an ambassador for the entertainment industry. Television is a symbol of communication and globalization that educates, informs, entertains and influences our decisions and opinions.
The first terrestrial television broadcast signals in West Africa occurred on Saturday October 31, 1959 and belonged to the Western Nigeria Television Service (WNTS). This was a critical milestone in Television history and today Africa boasts of over 600 television stations (excluding repeater stations.)
The launching of the TV in the Western Region of Nigeria made the Yorubas, the most educated people in Nigeria led by the most visionary African political leader in the 20th century, the great sage, Chief Ọbáfẹ́mi Awólọ́wọ̀, GCFR (6 March 1909 – 9 May 1987), Nigerian nationalist; one of the founding fathers of modern Nigeria and first Premier of the Western Region.
Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) began broadcasting on 31 October 1959 under the name Western Nigerian Government Broadcasting Corporation (WNTV), with Olapade Obisesan as its first Chairman. It was based in Ibadan and was the first television station in tropical Africa."
The First TV Image The city of Tashkent is home to the first image patent in television history. In 1926, scientists N.G. Piskunov, V.I. Popov and B.G. Grabovsky, on the recommendation of the famous professor of St. Petersburg University B.L. Rosing, managed to get a patent for their technological development, which was carried out based on the faculty of physics of the Central Asian State University (now NUUz).
On July 26, 1928, B.P. Grobovsky presented to the commission a non-audio tele-image transmitted from the territory of modern Amir Timur Square. It was a huge contribution to the development of television as a unique channel of mass information and communication.
Today, in Central Asia countries, television is the most accessible media channel for all segments of the population. The countries of the region are actively developing the private television sector, as well as cable, satellite and digital television.
To celebrate the World Television Day, I have started the script development of my "Black, Bold & Beautiful' reality TV series that will be ready for broadcast locally and globally in 2024.
"Black, Bold & Beautiful" is the celebration of black, bold and beautiful go-getter women in Nigeria, the rest of Africa and the Diaspora.
Nigeria: O Tempora O Mores, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
There is an epidemic of intellectual ignorance among the majority of Nigerians in Nigeria, including those who claim to be graduates of tertiary institutions, but are still intellectually challenged in logical and rational analysis of the vicissitudes of life and the essence of human civilization.
Then there is a facade of conceit and deceit by the elites who are posing and posturing in affluence and opulence of the luxuries of the status symbols of their hypocritical society.
Money can buy lifestyle of luxury.
But money cannot buy class.
You don't need to be rich to have class.
You cannot have class without dignity, integrity and nobility.
You must appreciate the high values of the virtues of life.
A Fraudster can afford to live in a palatial mansion and buy expensive posh cars and SUVs and fly on private jets and dress in Gucci, Dior, Armani.and Versace and drink Champagne. But the Fraudster is still beneath the men and women of dignity, integrity and nobility.
All that glitters is not gold.
You must understand the difference between a life of pretence and a life that is the true essence of human existence.
You must know the difference between fallacy and legacy.
In the next 100 to.1000 years in the world if the Earth is still in existence, students.and scholars will be reading and studying Wole Soyinka and his peers and the intelligentsia of our generation. But all the mobs of the intellectually retarded and multitudes of this generation would be forgotten in the sands of time.
I know the time frame of everyone and everything in Nigeria and the rest of the world in the history of civilization.
Everyone has a story.
But not everyone will make history.

@dabynasonofrock is the best rock music guitarist in Africa for over 20 years and still counting.
A fact that majority of Nigerians don't know. And he is a Nigerian.
He has performed in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other countries.
He is also amiable, humble and noble.
A very philosophical musician.
I have had the honour of performing with him in 2002 as he and his band played for the rendition of my song, "Darego! You Are the Most Beautiful Girl in the World" in honour of Agabani Darego, the first Black African Miss World crowned in 2001.
The live performance was for the graduation day of the students of the Alliance Française at the French Cultural Centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.
It was an unforgettable night as the girls were screaming as I sang.

November 3, 2023,
The Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) has announced Breath of Life, an inspirational story about life and destiny as its closing night movie. The selection made known by AFRIFF’s Founder & Festival Director, Chioma Ude, aligns with the organiser’s bid to promote more indigenous movies to a global audience that will grace the festival’s closing night hosted in partnership with Prime Video in Lagos, Nigeria.
Written and directed by BB Sasore and produced by Eku Edewor, Breath of Life portrays the story of a former clergyman who loses everything he holds dear including his faith and goes on a journey of self-transformation when his life is taken over by his Christian houseboy. The film spotlights veterans and key characters led by Wale Ojo, Sam Dede, Tina Mba and Eku Edewor. Others include Chimezie Imo, Genoveva Umeh, Ademola Adedoyin, and Chidozie Nzeribe.
Speaking on the movie selection as a choice for the closing night, Director and Screenwriter, BB Sasore said:
“Breath of Life is a testimony to how a person’s cause in life can change in the twinkling of an eye. It speaks to living a life of purpose and the need for it to be fulfilled. We believe AFRIFF and Prime Video audiences will enjoy the film and learn from the character’s experiences”.
Breath of Life launches globally on Prime Video on December 15th, as part of the streaming platform's effort to showcase Nollywood at its best, by telling authentic homegrown stories in a range of genres to Prime Video customers around the world. The film highlights the story of a man who has lost his sense of purpose until an encounter with a young man who changes his life and destiny.

Announcing the Opening Film: ORAH Opens AFRIFF 2023🎥
AFRIFF to open 12th Edition with Lonzo Nzekwe’s Powerful Crime Thriller ORAH in keeping with the Festival’s Theme on “Indigenous 2.0 Global
October 26, 2023
The Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) has announced its 12th edition, happening from the 5th to the 11th of 2023, in Lagos, Nigeria. In keeping with the festival's tradition, AFRIFF’s Founder and Festival Director, Chioma Ude, has announced the film ORAH as its opening night movie, a bold step to drive home its theme for the 2023 edition of Indigenous 2.0 Global before the participating Nigerian and international movie enthusiasts who will grace the festival’s annual opening gala night.
ORAH is written and directed by acclaimed Nigerian/Canadian filmmaker Lonzo Nzekwe (Anchor Baby). Produced by Nzekwe, Floyd Kane (Diggstown), and Amos Adetuyi (The Boathouse), the film was shot in Canada and the Federal Republic of Nigeria in late 2022. Speaking in anticipation of the Festival, Chioma Ude said,
“Filmmaking is evolving rapidly in Africa, with Nigeria at the forefront of the renaissance, and this year’s edition is designed to continue to reiterate the opportunities for African films and storytelling to reflect ‘global’ perspectives for the sustained success of more local films globally. We intend to continue to empower our storytellers to explore ideologies and techniques that connect with a larger global audience. ORAH is positioned as the open-night movie to drive this expectation.”
A character-driven crime thriller, Orah showcases the story of a female taxi driver in Toronto embarking on a revenge tour to avenge the death of her son, who is brutally murdered by a high-profile Nigerian criminal in a drug trafficking operation. Starring Oyin Oladejo as Orah Madukaku (Star Trek: Discovery), additional cast members include Lucky Onyekachi Ejim (Kim’s Convenience) as Bami Hazar; Agape Mngomezulu as Tariq Hazar (The Parker Andersons); Morgan Bedard (Hard Rock Medical) as Eli Pope; Somkele Iyamah-Idhalama (Titans) as Lace; Oris Erhuero (We Were Once) as Agent Garuba; O.C. Ukeje (Brotherhood) as Agent Uche Odi; Femi Lawson (Because We Are) as Jimoh Sholola; and Christopher Seivright (Take Note) as Vincent Bailey.
Developed over the course of 11 years, director and screenwriter Lonzo Nzekwe was “very grateful to finally begin shooting with the talented cast and crew assembled and honoured to be able to shoot part of the film in Nigeria, which plays such a key role,” he shared during principal photography. In Nzekwe’s words, I set out to create a tragically gripping and gratifying crime thriller with a gritty look that gives the audience a visceral, authentic experience of the life of our hero and her journey to avenge the death of her son. The exceptional talent of the actors cast in each role truly brings the story to life.
Not only does the script offer a strong and smart female role model in the lead role, but the supporting characters are well-rounded with traits of real, everyday people drawn from diverse ethnic backgrounds and walks of life. I hope that ORAH’s themes of justice versus revenge, redemption, freedom, corruption, and family separation will have a lasting impact on its viewers and inspire them in a positive way. As a Nigerian-born Canadian filmmaker, I felt I was uniquely qualified to tell this story of an illegal immigrant who was smuggled into Canada and sold into sex trafficking at age 15 by her uncle.
The film was shot in and around Sudbury, Ontario, in the fall of 2022, with additional principal photography taking place in Lagos, Nigeria, in December 2022. With cinematography for ORAH by Ricardo Diaz (Subjects of Desire), production design by Mark Kowalsky (Frat Pack), costume design by Chantel Bedward (Stupid For You), editing by Marc Roussel (Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities), and music by Felipe Téllez (Tomorrow).
ORAH is produced by Circle Blue Entertainment and Freddie Films in association with IronFlix Inc., with the participation of Telefilm Canada, the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC), and ONCreates Film Fund. Level Film is the Canadian distributor.
