How Come "Black Panther" Did Not Get Nomination for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects?

How Come "Black Panther" Did Not Get Nomination for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects?

The phenomenal record breaking Marvel Studios' Black Panther became the first superhero movie to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar for the 2019 annual Academy Awards (Oscars) with a total of seven nominations, including Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, and Best Original Song. But I am surprised it was left out of the nominees for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

President Buhari is Ahead of the Curve in National Development

Only those who are totally ignorant of the increasing disposable incomes of the middle class and millions of new employees in the informal sector say President @MBuhari's economy has failed. pic.twitter.com/nBu4ARsGJx

Chief Obasanjo, @atiku and @OfficialPDPNig are totally clueless about the huge informal sector that contributed over N170billion to the budget of Lagos state in 2017. The revenues of the Nigerian entertainment industry increased to US$3.8 billion in 2018.

Abia: Uche Ogah as a Liberator

Abia: Uche Ogah  as a Liberator

By  Chima Adiele

A new lease of life is no longer a distant dream for the people of Abia state.Their liberation from the shackles of desperate poverty and mindless deprivation is now a matter of weeks. Come March 2nd, 2019, Abians  will file out in their thousands to cast their votes for Uche Samson Ogah, the man with the midas touch who is waiting in the wings to rescue them from decades of mal-administration. Enemies of change who had fervently hoped that the little internal disagreement in the Abia chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC  will stall Ogah’s  march to the Government House are surly disappointed. They probably can’t fathom why APC as a party is sticking to the industrialist as its gubernatorial candidate. They had hoped that the party would cave in and impose a candidate with no vigour and rigor to deliver the desired change to Abia.

Mandela Said Obasanjo Was Corrupt and A Failure

Mandela’s Message To Nigerian Leaders- And The Collateral Damage Done To Nigerians By Poor Nigerian Leadership By Tony Ishiekwene
You know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not angry than they are.

Why Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Cannot Defeat President Muhammadu Buhari

Personally, I feel sorry for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, People's Democratic Party (PDP), because he is surrounded by political spongers who are telling him lies.

Atiku's worst problem is he has no grassroots movement like incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC). And without that, he cannot even rig his way to the Presidency.
