The political ignorance of the southeast on the north is the political downfall of the Igbo political leaders and their people. That was the tragic mistake of Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu . He thought he understood the north, but he was wrong.
Unfortunately for the All Progressives Congress (APC), there is no Igbo political leader in the national ruling party that understands the north. And anyone who does not understand the north cannot be a good President of Nigeria.
The generalisation of the Nigerian film industry as #Nollywood has caused the marginalisation of #Kannywood in national and international appreciation and documentation by both majority of Nigerians in the southern based English language Nollywood and their foreign followers , including the scholars; except for Brian Larkin, Carmen McCain and Jonathan Haynes whose comprehensive studies on the Hausa language Kannywood have done the best to address the widespread ignorance of Kannywood in southern Nigeria and foreign countries.
I am totally against any attempt to change the narrative of Nigerian film industry from a distorted perspective on the history of Nollywood by commission or omission.
The following fundamental facts must be documented.

Blockchain Technology Disrupting a Rapidly Growing Listing of Industries and Human Capital Services

PALM BEACH, Florida, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary
Blockchain technology has emerged well beyond the cryptocurrency sector where it first gained widespread notice. Its core function, enabling the transparent and secure transfer of data, is being infused into a multitude of industries, services and applications, providing a wide range of growth opportunities for companies willing to infuse this innovative technology. Not only does Blockchain hold the ability to disrupt the way the financial sector often works but is now having ramifications on many other industries including medical records and data, consumer goods, media & telecom and even the emerging sector of the Gig Economy. The Gig Economy is one of the fastest growing market segments in the global economy as the value of human capital rises with more and more people choosing to control their own destiny when it comes to employment. Because of the recent growth and popularity, the Gig Economy industry is also being exposed to a variety of new risks for the first time, including security and digital threats. To combat this, tech firms are aiming to infuse Blockchain to bolster their digital prowess. Blockchain technologies will allow companies to create platforms that allow job seekers and companies to connect, making the industry more efficient and secure. Companies in focus today include: ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PIXY), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), GrubHub Inc. (NASDAQ: GRUB), Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX), Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU).
Corruption and incompetence are the twin evils causing national insecurity; from Boko Haram to ethno religious crises and crimes in Nigeria.
The tragedy of it all is that corrupt and incompetent people prefer to live in denial of the terrible truth.
Majority of Nigerians rush to point accusing fingers at the politicians. But they are also guilty of corruption and incompetence; from the petty thieves and cheating traders on the street to the white collar crooks in the office; students cheating in exams; lecturers engaged in academic malpractices; greedy employers cheating and exploiting their poor workers; civil servants doing misappropriations of revenue allocations; filmmakers and film distributors diverting grants and loans with their partners in crime and others engaged in different forms of corrupt practices of all sorts.
