Kunle Afolayan, film director Tunde Kelani, Kehinde Bankole, Yemi Shodimu, and others held a peaceful walk against piracy this morning. They marched from Ikeja Under Bridge through Awolowo way to the Governor's office in Alausa where they are waiting for the governor to attend to them. See more photos after the cut...

DeleteMtchewwwwwe dnt worry u guys will lose some pounds. I mean Luk at d pple matching, where re d pillars of nollywood? U think it's a moi moi case? E go over u o. Anyways I think they only want some settlement from alausa. Piracy is a worldwide virus! Abi u ve not seen game of thrones season 6 episodes 2 to 4? How u take get am? U just b planning haphazardly and keep falling hand for Africa. Is piracy a lagos thing? How many ppl outside lagos can recognise u guys? Y can't u let d new administration come in and u unanimously present ur case to d right authority. Always rushing! Soaked bread like u
DeleteGood of them. But they should do more than walking, they should put infrastructure in place to stop piracy.

ReplyDeletedem never start to walk!!.....#They should go str8 to Alaba Market!...yeye dey smell
ReplyDeletePiracy seriously reduces their income, their frustration is understandable
ReplyDeletewalk this walk that, anything that comes to Nigeria will turn to another thing.
ReplyDeleteWishing dem a successful walkout... BT dey need a whole lot dan dat
ReplyDeleteKunle talk to Okoroji/Mayo/Oritz,Pman/major players in the music and Nollywood for proper walk against piracy,this your initial plan is not well planned,talk and involve every one with intellectual property,after the walk hold a world press confrence ,special letters to senators and major politicians in APC Government ,I feel your pain ,i have been hit by piracy too - Sia
ReplyDeletethey should take their march to alaba i dare them to.
ReplyDeleteits easy to come online and become a critic but 90% of Nigerians cant afford going to the cinema should that stop them from seeing the latest and best movies, the answer is No we are all part takers in piracy all of us from watching a tv series from an unauthorized websites to downloading movies i remember a few days ago Game of thrones was leaked i can bet you 90% of everyone coming here to say shit downloaded it, the truth is if really want o curb piracy they should create better infrastructure and make movies on the cinema cheaper else this trend will continue
If they like make dem waka reach abuja e no concern me. Den go use 30mins advertise in d beginning of a film 20minutes in d middle nd 15minutes after d film finishes, Linda observe aw many minutes film den do.if d film cum make sense e no go too pain u,mtchew if they like make dem use dere waka waka reach zamfara.
ReplyDeleteB like na izakaba and snake gal movies of 1995 u dey watch
DeletePiracy, na today?
ReplyDeletePiracy is a worldwide problem.Nollywood cannot fight it alone. We the consumers should simply just refuse to buy fake films. Nollywood can have designated shops around , or sell online. the artists must be involved in advocacy, adverts must continue to be placed on TV radio and the Internet, If we the consumers simply refuse to buy pirated copies all these rouges will soon be out of business .
ReplyDeletesorry.....una never start walk.....
ReplyDeleteKunle Pls INVOLVE EVERY ONE IN THE INDUSTRY THIS IS NOT YOUR FIGHT ALONE , I MEAN EVERY ONE IF ANY ARTISTE ,PRODUCERS,SOCIETY COSON ,ARTISTE MANAGERS,WRITERS,COMEDIANS,CAMERA MEN,VFX,STUDIO OWNERS,DISTRIBUTORS,BOI,NEXIM,RECORD LABELS,CBN ETC refuse to take part ,let Nigerians Know that they are enemy of progress of our dear Industry ,I'm sure they will respond,set up a site for every one in the industry to post their details, email address ,phone and name for update ,INVOLVE EVERY ONE - SIA
ReplyDeletePiracy is multi-faceted and yes,it should and would be fought.However,let us ask our Nollywood practitioners if they also patronise 'Otigba' for softwares for editing their movies and other related stuffs.Secondly,do they pay or get permission from musicians for using their works in their movies as soundtrack and/for party scenes?If the answer to the above is yes,then they have every moral right,anything to the contrary means they are also on the wrong side of such fights.
ReplyDeletepiracy is a monster that must be confronted by all and sundry
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree with Ozor Obiora. But I also feel the infrastructure is already in place but pride is the only thing keeping them from exploring them! How did the music industry conquer piracy? They went into business with the pirates, the pirates became their distributors. And I think movie makers can either completely wipe out the menace of Alaba or go into distribution business with them.
ReplyDeleteThey should also clog the holes in their network cos these movies are leaked by people who they are in cohorts with. Cinema workers, award review boards etc.
Set up distribution outfits in Alaba and see piracy disappear in Nigeria.
But our movie makers want to chop the movie by themselves and na their ne bad!
Movie making is a big business and should be treated thus, employing your family and friends to cut cost will continue to see all these leakages.
They should have done this since.

ReplyDeletePIRACY KILLS?!
ReplyDeletelol.
#smile.
How would this be stopped? I feel for them producers though. Hustlers must chop also!
ReplyDeleteWhen DSTV pays peanuts for a movie but milks it to the last drop, repeating it ad nauseam for years on their channels, what is that? Something worse than piracy of course. Nigerians dey work South Africa dey chop. How come no Nigerian can give us our very own equivalent of DSTV. Till this strangulating monopoly is broken, forget justice in this sector. The fish is rotten from the head.
