Read what Ali Baba wrote about actors and piracy

Actor Yemi Shodimu and others stormed the streets of Lagos to seize pirated copies of Kunle Afolayan's movie, October 1. This prompted this write-up above from Ali Baba. Is he calling actors intellectual imbeciles or I'm the one who doesn't get what he's trying to say?

This actor seizing these stuffs is funny. Do u know how many copies are out of Lagos as well, and even been circulated in Lagos, what u r doing is in vain rather find a way to tackle it. Involving the government and authority, the pirates are very smart hope u know, now it affected their Yoruba brother and they r all active, when others complain of piracy they never acted this way

Davido's driver said...

But pls dont hate pirated, msn must eat somehow. These guys can as well carry guns n rob but they choose not to, so let them be. How can you release a movie and keep it in the cinema for more than 1-2 months?

BONARIO NNAGS said...

And no clue on the suggestion he gave the actors, calling them intellectual imbeciles, is a poor choice of word.

I know this is very painful, when AY complained no one acted this way,Kunke even made it worse with the statement he made cursing. I have no pity for the tribalistic dude, he should not have made a statement calling any tribe,AY handles his in a matured way

Alibaba abeg carry ur wife undies go wash....or get busy with something. Idle imbecile!

Don't know what he is saying but can't wait to hear the follow up on his statement #ismellbeef

He is referring to Kunle maybe, nothing can be done about it cos a lot are on the streets been sold, and most bought as well

Unknown said...

Ok

Unknown said...

He just did Linda

Subomi said...

whats his point?

Unknown said...

Since he didn't refer it to any prticular person, let's leave it @ that. As long as average Nigerians are still poor and selfish minded, piracy will neva cum 2 an end

Innocentia Annie said...

Don't see piracy ending anytime soon
No matter how hard they try
to curtail it

Dats wah Kunle shld av channelled his energy in2. If some1 messes wit ur income route, u fight d person n nt some oda peeps njoying deir "Akpu na Ofe onugbu" #flipsmyshortAfricanhair

I think were this actors are suppose to fight for piracy, they relax and talk where they're not suppose to.
All those times AGN were visiting Aso rock up and down, why didn't they push for a better law for piracy, instead taking pictures and money.

Unknown said...

Linda u r right for he is calling actors intellectual imbeciles.

I am not a film maker but would soon be. Who should fund the film industry? Is it the govt. or private investors? I really don't understand. I rent my camera, get the producer, pay artist and all sort. I am confused. Who funds me? No one name! We know this people that pirates the movies we do why not fish them out or is it cos they r big shots? Forget joor. Na we dey do ourselves.

Unknown said...

Issokay! Let dem keep looking for funds!

He is very right, no cooperation in the industry and its the reason for all this mess.

I agree with alibaba the problem of nollywood isn't money it is developing a structured system. Why can't we develop film companies like mgm, 20th century fox, paramount pictures etc and even a collaboration of these companies produce movies in Nigeria its easier to fight piracy as a cooperate entity than as scattered small film makers, the so-called alaba pirates can even go legit and bid for distribution contracts since they have the network already. The movie industry is a big one and also a profitable one were all stake holders can have a piece of the pie structure is important not software or encryption or presidential visits or campaign or money sharing, why can't the lobby the national assembly to inact a piracy bill? All wen dey were romancing with GEJ why didn't they ever ask for an anti piracy agency? I mean them no disrespect but they are just after their stomach not the industry.

ALI BABA IS JUST OBNOXIOUS AND THINKS HE KNOWS IT ALL. EVEN IN AMERICA PIRACY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM SO WHAT THE HELL IS HE ON ABOUT. AND BY THE WAY IS HE AN ACTOR? THEY ALL CRY PIRACY NOW BUT WHEN THEY WERE BUYING PIRATED CDS AND DVDS BEFORE THEY GOT INTO THE INDUSTRY THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT KARMA IS A BITCH ABI?

Unknown said...

He is definitely calling them intellectual imbeciles. All except nse ikpe etim and Genevieve nnaji mfr

Ali baba is referring to those who asked him if he is an actor. On d other hand I don't support him calling others intellectual imbecile

Okay,i concur & hope they find a way to sort it out fast..Its been going for too long.

It just hurt you to know that majority of this pirate are your people the Igbo. Kunle marketer for the October 1 said 99% of the pirate in Alaba are Igbo and he is an ibo man. So live with it your people are pirate
And u Linda , you refused to publish the news when the marketer was acusing the alaba pirate which are Igbo but you quickly run to ur computer to publish that nonsense letter chimamanda wrote. You do well. We know u guys want ur Biafra more than anything yet you call other tribe tribalist

So they should come and help you fight your own battle? Idiot! What happened to your own hands, legs and mouth? It's the fact that they are helping their brother that is paining you. Don't you have brothers too? Oh I forgot! It's your brothers doing the piracy. Bladdy fool!

Unknown said...

In uche jumbos voice piracy is not a tribal mark. Piracy has been there before he came into lime light if the actors guild of nigeria put everything in place I believe that they will be less pirated movies out there.

Must they spoil other people's buzz,Let them carry gun and I'm sure they will end up being caught,It's people like you that abuse these actors of being poor,how will they have money with these rate of piracy. If you can't afford cinemas then wait till the movie is officially out. ##say no to corruption ## salome

JOYCHY said...

Must he insult anyone. cant he just make his point & proffer solutions.
He is becoming another ecetera or wat ever his name is. Always has a write up 2 put up like he is a saint himself!!

Mtcheww! I wonder who is d imbecile here! Onye Ara!!!!

Oskirin said...

wht he meant ws dt dos actors dt didn't agree 2 his submission den.nt all d actors.honestly,ds piracy tin is killin.jus imagine hw much one spend on such movies and some useless gud 4 nothing guy wld go 2 d backyard n start reproducin dem in large scale 2 sell.men,dt's stealin of someone's intelectual property.it's high time dos goats stop it or actors shd seek 4 legislative backin 2 curb ds menance.@ least 21 years in prison will b enof sentencing.

zikman said...

Nope! He is calling the pirates "intellectual imbeciles"

Oskirin said...

again,ds brings 2 mind d level/manner and way we comment on sensitive issues on ds platform.does it mean piracy someone's work is okay or wht? coz i seem nt 2 undastand d majority view supportin dt kind of dastardly act.

as av said,it's bcoz we dnt av laws 2 curb ds kind of menace in our society.had it bn someone is caught n made 2 face d full wrath of d law,im 100% sure some people will luk 4 legitimate tins 2 do.wht is bad is bad.

Ali Baba is always claiming I too know

Anonymous said...

He went too far, but let's not forget d point, creativity should b encouraged, in the end after all the work Kunle Afolayan has put in, he ends up poor. monkey dey work baboon dey chop. His anger is justified. We should start thinking of solving these problems from the root, not avoiding dem. Piracy is no joke, they r not different from thieves

This is one reason why Nigerians don't win recognised International awards, because when you c ur priced work handled dis way, u won't spend money to produce something good again. What alibaba said is justified joor. Whom ever he referred to. Lol.
