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.

Programme for the Annual IREP Docufilm Festival 2019



IREP Docufilm Festival 2019

9th IREP INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL TO HOLD 21-24 MARCH 2019.

The ninth edition of the annual iREPRESENT International Documentary Film Festival will hold from Thursday March 21 to Sunday March 24 2019, at its traditional home, Freedom Park, by Broad Street, Lagos, and the Nigerian Film Corporation, Ikoyi, Lagos.

General Idea:
The 2019 Festival is conceived on the traditional framework of Africa in Self-conversation.


Theme:
STORYLINES – it arises from current realities about imagery and perspectives. Technology is constantly redefining the impact of human experiences and challenging us to tell our story as a means of engaging the world with our identity, individuality and personal experiences.
Every human being is a story and we are constantly in pursuit of tools to advance and promote alternative facts about ourselves; and how we wish to be seen. The contention between what is real and what is preferred is shaping the currency of human exchange.
The ability to construct and reconstruct stories by anyone with a social media account is challenging the traditional story form. How would people own their stories without compromising the truth? How would documentary films respond to this reality?
