The Political Phenomenon of President Muhammadu Buhari: The Prophetic Statement of Chuba Okadigbo

The Political Phenomenon of President Muhammadu Buhari: The Prophetic Statement of Chuba Okadigbo.

“The Establishment might not allow us to Rule Now, but be that as it may, on a very good day, at the appointed time, Buhari will rule Nigeria. What I do not know is whether I will be around when that happens. But even if am not there, (Chuba turned to Buhari) please Muhammadu, move on and fear not! The vultures will gather against you, but you know what we stand for. Be strong and continue for you shall overcome!”

Senator Dr. Chuba Williams Okadigbo (December 17, 1941 – September 25, 2003), was President of the Senate of Nigeria. Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from Anambra North Senatorial District in Eastern Nigeria. He was a philosopher, erudite academic, political scientist, and writer.

Okadigbo was Gen. Muhammadu Buhari's running mate in the 2003 Presidential elections for the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). A day after campaigning in Kano State, he died in Abuja due to breathing problems; on September 25, 2003. The ANPP alleged that he was actually killed by the tear gas used by the Nigerian police during the political rally.

Peter Bradshaw's Ignorance of the Best Nigerian Films Since Independence

@Festival_Cannes @IndieWire @PeterBradshaw1 forgot Newton Aduaka's "Ezra" and quickly added a recent Nigerian romantic comedy, "The Wedding Party" on his list of  20 best African films – ranked! https://t.co/6epSYa7YDc

I saw the list and if "The Wedding Party" is the movie, Peter Bradshaw has chosen to be the best Nigerian film to include on his list of 20 Best African Films (from when to when?), then he is obviously ignorant of the history of filmmaking in Nigeria and the best films by Nigerian filmmakers since Adamu Halilu's "Shaihu Umar" of 1976 followed by Dr. Ola Balogun's "Black Goddess" of 1978 and "Vigilante" by Afolabi and Adediji Adesanya of 1988.

"The Wedding Party" is not even comparable to Kunle Afolayan's "The Figurine: Araromire" of 2009 and "October 1" of 2014.

I have selected the movie posters of a selection of some of the best Nigerian films and videos produced over the decades by Hubert Ogunde, Adeyemi Afolayan, aka Ade Love,  Joseph Abiodun Babajide, aka Jab Adu, Tunde Kelani, Teco Benson, Andy Amenechi, Lancelot Imasuen,  Stephanie Linus,  Izu Ojukwu, Biyi Bandele and others.

 The ignorance of the best Nigerian movies on film and video by both Nigerian and foreign film critics, film students, scholars and others can be addressed by the establishment of a Nigerian film library and museum. 

A good knowledge of film history is important for film criticism.
