Lagos Elite will not rest until they have filled every inch of water surrounding us with sand and built luxury properties that no one can afford to live in but they & their 0.005% friends. City planning? Nah! Low income housing? For what? Environmental impact? WTF is that?!
When my daughter Phoebe heard I was coming to Nigeria, she said, "You're lucky because you get to see Burna Boy and Rema, so I had to look them up...because I'm so 'hip'.
But I remember the last time I was here, I got to see Davido & Wizkid perform.

When I made Isoken, a friend of mine asked me to write down what I wanted it to gross at the box office. I wrote down 300m but Isoken went on to gross about a third of that. 2 Box Office Releases later, (Sugar Rush-287m, Ayinla-92m), and…
Nigerian Banks and their fraudulent behavior. ATMs have a capacity of N20k per withdrawal but you limit to N10k so you can charge N35 per withdrawal, on a platform that's suppose to be a low cut option for servicing your customers. Why is
@cenbank
allowing this?
Corruption is such a part of our culture now, almost every company has an employee trying to rip them off. Cinema staff says pay into an account, POS is down. He doesn’t know I’ll contact the owner of the cinema and I’ll send them proof of payment to his personal account
All of you saying you are/want to leave now, stop that smack talk! Just 1 week ago,you were abusing a generation for leaving you a useless Nigeria and declaring yourselves THE generation that would change things. Did you think it would be easy?The battle has just begun! Strap in!
So overwhelmed with all the feedback. Thank you to everyone who’s watched the film and talking about it 💋.
Going on a social media break but let me leave you guys with this feature in today’s

We've become so use to tyranny and terrible leadership that people are writing articles abt how peaceful protesters should have known when to stop demanding an end to police brutality so as to have avoided having soldiers sent to open fire on them whilst singing d national anthem
No way the typically ‘unbanked’ trusts the banking system again after this. You force them to bring all their cash into the banks and now they’re crying in banking halls, sleeping at ATMs just to eat. The distrust will be very hard to recover from.
To everyone crying about the violence, don’t worry, we’ll give you a romcom this year. You’ll also soon get murder mystery, family (melo)drama, supernatural thriller, horror & more action and crime thrillers 😀. In the words of Alaya Bam Bam, ‘e relasss’ We’re just beginning
You guysssssss 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 like, I’m speechless.

My Prime Video 3year deal couldn’t have come at a better time. 6months into the deal and now seeing just how much Prime supports filmmakers with the time, resources and talent required to make great work, I’m really excited about the next 2.5years ❤️

I can’t imagine how much companies are losing annually to employees running their own hustle and worse still, how many lives might be put in danger depending on what that ‘hustle’ is
Same. Praying she breaks the record cos she’s already done so well.
It’s so hard to watch videos of her cos the Mama bear in me just wants to carry her to a bed so she can sleep.
REALLY rooting for HILDA BACHI.
Don't know her personally, but her drive, ambition and resilience, inspires and motivates me IMMENSELY.
Sending her prayers and the best vibes to PUSH THROUGH.
She's inspiring people she doesn't even know 👏🏾👏🏾
GO HILDA... YOU GOT THIS!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
When something wants to scatter, life has taught me to allow it to scatter because the pain of it scattering now is often greater than the pain of trying to hold it together only for it to scatter by force later.
One might even argue that in the end, everything scatters anyway…
This was the most cringe part of the entire thing. Like which women? You can’t be talking about Nigerian women surely…?! It’s not even reflective of the speaker’s reality 🤷🏾♀️
Brotherhood will likely be my last film at the Nigerian Box Office for 3years. What a last hurrah it is. Quite bitter sweet, I'm looking forward to creating magic with the Amazon Prime team but l'll miss the anxiety releasing films to the cinemas, the stakes always feel so high
Could have chosen to show her dump the outfit in the car but decided the cutaway was unnecessary. It was a creative choice, it wasn’t unintentional 💋. I like how you guys are like investigative journalists with the film sha, keep ‘em coming 💕
Hospital pharmacist says they don’t have they medication & he doesn’t want to write the prescription, insisting that he can’t trust the efficacy of one I’ll get from even the biggest pharmacies. So his sends his account details cos only he has access to the ‘original’ antibiotics
I love that across board, all the actors are getting praised, that it’s not a case where one person steals the show, the entire cast, from the children to veterans, newbies to thespians, everyone delivers solid performances. Grateful to have worked with such a great cast ❤️
Every scene in
#GangsOfLagosOnPrime
is a masterclass in acting & making a scene. To be shooting on the streets of hot Lagos is not easy! Everybody involved did a madness!!! Crew where outside, BRO! God I love this film. 🥹🥹🤯💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
We need to organize significantly. It's not just a get your PVC thing, neither is it a 2023 thing. By then it would have been too late. The work begins NOW. Fund raising, finding candidates, educating and engaging local communities. It begins now.
The only way I see forward is to start strategizing and planning now for the 2023 elections. We need to get our finances right, we need to put our house in order, we need to sensitize the people, we all need to register to vote. We absolutely cannot continue like this.

2011 - 2015 NdaniTV was an Era sha. Some of the biggest names in the industry, actors, DPs, writers, casting director, filmmakers, me… we can trace our beginnings back to working at Ndani or on one of Ndani’s projects. Super proud to see how far everyone has come 💕
#NdaniAlum
Brotherhood has fulfilled that dream written on a piece of paper 5years ago. So so happy and proud of everyone that worked on this amazing Film. We made a classic 💕💕💕

is a movement and I can’t wait for the unstoppable team
@greohstudios
to shatter the 1billion record💋
I see all the comments hoping the film lives up to the hype... I know it's only because, even though you want to believe, you've been disappointed a lot in the past. I promise you, I gatchu ❤️
You need friends who can go to battle for you but can also call you out on your BS when needed. Friends who can sit with you in the dark, in the light and the in between. Friends who see you, accept you and love you… that’s a gift to cherish forever 💕
Saw a tweet dat said 'marriage is not an achievement' I used to think that but I've seen a lot of bad marriages & people who have given up. If you've managed to spend the better part of your life with 1 person in a healthy relationship, you've accomplished something great my dear

Top lessons from my professional life...
1. Take huge bets on yourself
2. Don't wait for perfect conditions, do it now
3. it's all about the journey not the destination. Enjoy it
4. It might take a while, you might be overlooked, but keep working. It'll pay off
5. Collaborate
Over the last 2 weeks, I’ve come to understand ‘Your network is your net worth’ on a whole new level. There are things you are qualified to get/access but are out of your reach because you’re not in the right company. And no, building a networking isn’t about attending events.
After watching the final edit of Ayinla, I fell in love again with the characters, actors, the costumes, the music and the story.
I'm excited for the world to see what
@tkelani
has so painstakingly crafted over the last year.
From music to clothes, movies to food… looks like if you’re not dancing daily on IG, you haven’t started promoting your ‘product’
Nigerians (mass market) seemingly need to feel like you can be silly and playful. Curious about what the next content marketing wave will be lol
I’ve only been slapped by a grown man once in my whole life and it was by a Nigerian policeman. So seeing the video of that elderly woman bruised from a slap from a policeman, was quite triggering but seeing everyone’s resolve to keep the pressure up has been inspiring.
I'm starting a series called VIVA LA NOLLYWOOD where I will share some of my thoughts, ideas and learnings about filmmaking but in particular about Nollywood, an industry I am very passionate about. Here's the first thread...
🚨Congratulations to this year’s invitees to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences💫

In the middle of trying to get a tonne of work done, I've fallen down the rabbit hole of the S4G doc, and it's such a sad outcome for such a monumental piece of work done by a group of courageous women.For all that work to be reduced to slut shaming & name calling is truly sad
You people! What Kay Jegede & I are cooking for the sequel, IDAN se se bere! We’re just beginning! E lo relasss. You’re going to see crazy!
#VivaNollywood
Wherever Ajoke is, I pray she finds some healing and joy in this life 💕. I'm so sorry she went through all she did. And whilst I empathise with everyone who was caught up in the madness of the cult, they should def feel guilt and shame for not standing up for that child
@jadeosiberu
@jadeosiberu
U are who you think you are and even more 🫂🙌 u finish work. I'm glad I watched this movie in the early hours of today. No noise no distractions. The cast delivered 💯
@AdesuaEtomiW
Mama Zee left me speechless omohhhh
Awon big men container & trailer owners who the government never penalizes for wrongful death, who exploit gov corruption & continue to put unsafe vehicles on our roads... your time is coming!
#EndSARS
After we win this round,we must also get justice for Chidinma and Chima who were crushed by a container. Till date no one has been arrested and the government ignored her mother’s cries. We need accountability on all fronts. But for now
