Pesident Muhammadu Buhari has directed law enforcement agencies to step up their efforts to curb the menace of pirates in Nigeria's entertainment industry so that artistes can enjoy the fruits of their labour. President Buhari gave the directive after receiving a briefing from the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan and her Directors Tuesday in Abuja.
“Nollywood is making progress. We should work with them. Unless they are backed, they will be ruined by pirates who want to reap where they have not sowed. "They have built an industry with their own sweat. It is therefore incumbent on us to give them the necessary support,” President Buhari said.
He charged law enforcement agencies to identify the perpetrators of copyright piracy, their sponsors and collaborators, and bring them to justice. President Buhari also charged the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) to tap into the opportunities presented by their wide reach to shore up their revenue profiles.

Alh Buhari should stop chasing shadows.
He should start solving nigeria's serious problems like providing stable power supply.
GEJ that Nollywood worshipped never made this kind of pronouncement and they no complain...just a bunch of jobbers.
Gud news

I don't think anyone in their right mind would be interested in pirating that crap . Majority of Nollywood movies (99%) r full of shit n the producers n co r quite happy with their mediocrity .
If anything is getting pirated I wud say maybe.....Nigerian music , apart 4rm that, I don't think pirates wud make more than 1k from selling that shit . So mr. president focus on more important things ....... nollywood, ......they're irrelevant .
This is lovely, this is a man that didn't have maximum support from nolly pple o maybe bcos of what goodluck did for them, but presido still have them in mind for good. Nice man
That vuvuzela P guy

When they've not finished cracking down on armed robbers and performing their other primary roles. Okay.
My delusional president has left his country in flames to chase rats fleeing from the inferno. Another hopeless move in the wrong direction at the wrongest time.

The most pressing issue right now in nigeria are the lives that are being lost and should be the first thing on his agenda,Boko Haram need to be dealt with immediately.How many lives have been lost since he took over as president.

You can imagine,dumb head like you.. why not call it IGBOWOOD, so you are proud of piracy? Sure u are one of the hungry alaba boys..
Ordinary begger like you on linda's blog,soliciting for his pirates brothers.. everything abt you is fake.

To crack down *nollywood pirates* aka to crackdown Igbos. Wot a vindictive blood shedding fellow, continue pursuing pple dat r naturally blessed while ur region is in shambles. Wot president gets bordered abt d entertainment industry. We didn't vote 4 u, cry me a river
Is this not shameful for u to even think that way? Dont your " enterprising" brothers have any other holy way of making good money apart frm movie piracy, kidnappin, drug trafficking etc? Abeg u should get a life and let us move forward pls? Biko..
Please stop embarassing somebody abeg.
He has spoken as usual but will dey listen?
Houseboy, ode!!! Hunger phase, it'll pass bro
D persom dat announced it abi media adviser na ofe mmanu, if not dis is d most ridiculous announcement i've eva heard
I will marry a woman I can never marry a man with gun on my neck I can never tufiakwa aru I don't mind being the last man on earth to be single... if marrying a woman means not having the things of life.. I rather live and have nothing than to live and practice homosexuality or any kind of it..or be a party to gay law or signing .. may I be cursed forever if being a man is being a GAY.. in as much as I have this passion and love for Nigeria ... the day Nigeria signs gay law I will destroy my national ID CARD and International passport and stop being a NIGERIAN..... so let it be known on this day I made this proclamation so help me GOD Amen kedu ife nwoke na ajo na aru nwoke aru bu aru Nigeria should stand up and reject this American idea.. and out of the body of a man a woman was made.. I don't need God to come down and tell me that it is wrong.. because it is absolutely code error in Computer
@zicog,you can send your stupid farther to go and fight the Boko haram now.if you really have the love of Nigeria @ heart.you people will just talk any how.
Gerrarahere, APC government of eye service.. His eye service gesture is getting too much, can't stand it. Cracking down piracy in nollywood is an indirect way of dealing with igbo's..
Hmmmmmmm...... I respect you Mr president..... I believe in ur administration.
Oga! Really?! People dey die for your area na film na him you wan face?! Stopping piracy is in the hands of the pirates, so Baba go do your work.
Love your comment @money maker.....anonymous 11:25. Take a chill pill abeg

I hope PMB directive wil b followed as directed. Nice development wit dis directive, ad I hope it wil mak d difference.
really?? this?? right now?? *straight face* #ON_2_D_NEXT_NEWS
Anthony.. Why are you being so negative,he doesn't do something you start shouting and insulting, he does something the one you wanted in power never did you call him delusional and a hopeless move.... Stop being bitter and negative, if you want to help pray for your leader(whether you like it or not he's going to be for the next 4 years) or make constructive criticism or else SHUT UP!!!!!
You are so dumb....please stay dum
I think I was wrong about you, are not dumb...you are just extremely extraordinarily stupid... Keep it up
Good new for the entertainment industry
@AC£S is piracy not a pressing issue? People eating money from movies they did not produce. You must be an idiot for thinking it's not pressing enough. Fool
@abokiworryboy You are the biggest fool i have ever come across. Buhari was referring to the entertainment industry as a whole which also includes Nollywood. You are saying he should concentrate on better things. So Nollywood is not a better thing? You are such an unpatrotic citizen. It is people like you that kill the govt. Senseless idiot
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. YOU THIS STUPID ABOKI WORRY BOY. YOU ARE JUST A BASTERED. IDIOT!
Weytin consign Nollywood with nigeria. Mehn! Buhari do serious tinz abeg
I think it's a good start on film makers.we really need support in our industry. Help fight pirates
