"We are excited to announce that comedian Jen Brister will be hosting the makers & shakers Awards inaugural ceremony on December 14th 2020.
The makers & shakers Awards supported by EQUALS, a brand new event to celebrate excellence in global production.
The makers & shakers Awards – which were officially launched at a special event at BAFTA in December – honour ground-breaking ideas and initiatives from the world’s commercial, TV, film, animation and gaming sectors.

I was recommended for the inaugural makers & shakers Awards, but the heartbreaking catastrophe of the COVID-19 pandemic left me totally distracted and disinterested in celebrations and events in the entertainment industry. I retreated into self-isolation even before the compulsory lockdown started and till date I have not been to any physical event or had a physical appointment.
Without making noise about it, I have been promoting film locations in Nigeria for international TV and film productions and film tourism which attracted the global film industry since 2016 to date. Film tourism can generate more revenues for Nigeria than the revenues from Nigerian movies. Movie merchandising makes more money than the box office and subscriptions to OTT platforms combined.
The #Nollywood box office hit comedy, "The Wedding Party" would have made more money from movie merchandising than the box office.
Dear Hon. Lai Mohammed, Where is the Remaining N1.9 Billion of the Project Act Nollywood Fund?
Read the special investigative report on http://totnaija.blogspot.com/2020/11/where-is-remaining-n19-billion-of.html
GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sanitation and Hygiene Fund will be launched during an online event next Tuesday. It is seeking US$2 billion over the coming five years to provide a 21st-century solution to the decades-old crisis on sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health.
Currently, more than 4 billion people globally do not have access to safely managed sanitation services. 3 billion lack access to basic handwashing facilities, and nearly 10 percent of the world's population still practice open defecation.Monkeys Will Always Be Monkeys

How can you claim to be educated, but you lack the intellectual comprehension of the unforeseen circumstances of the existential realities of life on earth. Say the truth and damn the wrath of whose ox is gored by the truth.
The stupidities of some Nigerians who have PhD make them look like monkeys dressed up in academic regalia.
Like the one who lied that the demons in uniform who shot the peaceful #EndSARS protesters at the #Lekki Toll Gate on October 20, 2020 were hoodlums in military uniform. And lest we forget, the hoodlums who went on rampage to disrupt the peaceful protests against police brutality and extra judicial killings in Nigeria did not just appear from the blues. They were hired and organised by the same paymasters who hired them as political thugs for political elections.
Lest we forget, Boko Haram terrorists have families who use banks in Nigeria and go to markets in Nigeria, but the CBN has not frozen their bank accounts. Only monkeys do monkey business.
Monkeys will always be monkeys; from the jungle to the circus or to the zoo.
No child asked to be born poor.
I don't even know how to react. To cry or to be angry. How can the Adamawa state government fail so woefully?
To abandon these innocent children in such a hostile environment without access to any school and without any welfare. And what is the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHDSD) doing in response to such a humanitarian emergency?
