This is why we say Nigerians are not ready for a better Nigeria. We complain about the politicians all the time but we are all corrupt in our day to day activities. If we want a better Nigeria, the change has to start with we the people.
I experienced this in Lagos cinema. I wanted to watch ‘A Ghetto Love’ and I was told it showed in the morning. When I asked for when next it will show, the lady was dismissive and told me to a particular movie that was creating a buzz which I had already seen. I just walked away.
Wow! That’s totally wrong for doing you like that, and they will be saying the politicians are bad/corrupt. What they’re doing to me it’s corrupt period, am sorry you didn’t get to watch your movie.
Now that is wrong, that’s deceitful, and it’s shows lack of accountability in Nigeria. How can I pay to watch a movie and you show me a different movie. You had better refund me. But that can’t even be requested for as they feel no one can hold them. This shows the depth of decadence. Uncle Femi, you are absolutely right and I agree with you. What is wrong is wrong.
Marketing and promotion is for the public to decide. The cinema is meant to honour the slots they give out not their job to influence me. If I go to a shop to buy a top pls don’t offer me a pair of trousers…
If people don't go to cinemas to specifically say they want to watch funke Akindele's movie,cinemas won't be showing or promoting only her film. What cinemas are showing are based on viewers or audiences preference and choice.
Cinemas can't be blamed when they notice division, they can't do anything.. they should schedule different dates..fans that wish to watch more than one and the time is the same, will priotise . because money no too dey..but if the featuring of their films has different dates,no need of competition..this is common among actresses, actors are at peace with each other...
Its not about Anty Funke film it about people's bad experience at the cinema I witnessed it them no tell me.see hnn if we really want our country to work,we sure need to start from the smaller things...Iree o
I kukuma don't listen to cinema staff in choosing movies to watch, nobody can tell me what to watch. Cinemas that charge outrageous sums, we're not even going to cinemas again sef
Why are you complaining?? If the producers did their job in marketing their films , there won't be problems. Plus why do all these producers wait for one particular month to release their movies. Funke Akindle deserves all the hype her movies is getting because she worked very hard. I think as far back as August or September, when the promo for her movie started. Its the battle of the fittest.😅😅😅😅
What you are saying is not the same thing with what he is complaining about.He is talking about Cinemas changing the time and manipulating the viewership to favour one movie over the other. Cinemas are meant to be neutral and just a intermediary not one sided. What he is saying gas nothing much to do with publicity.Geez
I hope this talk makes a positive difference. It is indeed sad and bad for the industry. I was in a cinema in Abuja last year, and I noticed the T-shirt thing and trying to the meet and greet people plus cinema staff trying to pitch another movie when one was supposed to be screening. I was livid. Let people make their choices on what to watch and, like he said, give producers a level playing field.
Cinema ke.....she don already do promotion for the movie before he come out now....funke sabi promote abeg nor be say I dey support wetain cinema people dey do oh...but marketing strategy matters
I wouldn't even care for the cinema. I would upload strictly on RUclips and get my money. There's room for everyone on RUclips. I don't even remember when I last went to the cinema, but after the first Wakanda movie, not being since. Happy New Year though❤.
There should be an agreement sign for screen time to avoid because cinema too don collect there money before screen. There shoukd be thorough monitoring
He has a point BUT the cinemas are a private business and here to make money so they can take care of their staff and investors. Why would i be wasting fuel on a movie that pulls 20 people when i can shift focus to another one that is pulling 200 people? Last last everybody should work on their promotion skills so they can easily fill seats and maintain their time slots.
The problem is that there is no geninue love among you people.. actors and actresses must work on each other..I mean Yoruba industry... They should not view their films the same day....Where there is love,no intruder will ever have way between you people...the Yoruba industry eliminate spirit of envy from Ur selves . Allow nature to work,and love..so u all will be happy.. without geninue love,u people will continue to have issues always.We all have different fans,but if the fans sees unity in your mist , fans will be left with no choice than to play along...Ife Ni Koko.
I Understand what you are saying, but I am just hearing about the Akada movie for the first time on this channel. The Jenifa crew made more advertisements on different platforms. Because of that exposure and advertisement, I personally will opt for Jenifa over Akada. I am only referring to these two movies because they are shown on this channel page.
Is there anything fair that happens in Nigeria?! 😢 You have a Union Leader, (or whatever you call him) if he's not defending you on this, he is part of the problem! You all need to protest against this and bring it to TV stations. This is not something for just one man to do. A law must be put in place against this!
I went to ICM (Ikeja city mall) on the 1st to watch (Everyone loves Jenifer) only for me to be directed to (Alakada bad & boujee) line. Me thinking that was the right line and i checked my ticket it was (alakada, bad & boujee)instead of (Everyone lives Jenifer) i asked and i was told that's the movie that is showing now😢 I couldn't say anything i just wanted and join to watch what i didn't intend to watch.. but the movie was great thou i enjoyed alakada but my point is they promoted alakada than other movies. Which isn't fair at all 😢
Haba, this is absolutely bad. Why can Nigerians do thing properly and the actors and producers should come together and speak out, common, that’s the only way to go. Thanks
Strange but cinemas are always promoting the biggest films over smaller films because the money comes from the concessions not the films per say, so that helps the cinema make more… try paying them to promote you more. I worked at a cinema and they would make us wear star wars gear and all our banners were always of the biggest movies. Even the pop corn bags were of certain movies and those movie had all the best times… I don’t think this is only in Nigeria.
Please, mention the cinema where it happened. To me I believe the film he is referring to has already flopped before getting to the cinema. Sometimes some people are looking for soft landing not doing their proper homework and yet you want to cash out like somebody else. In as much as I am not in support of what the cinema houses are doing, we still need clarification of what really happened and the frequency of the incidents. Mention the name, no one should look for an easy way to blame another person. It's a free world, at the same time producers should do their homework, dig it down, then give it great marketing. Why wouldn't I go for Jenifa? With all the paparazzi and promo, even old mama sing , Nancy, Lateef all sing as if dem be pro isi ginni? A beg we move..... 2025 will be better.❤❤❤😂
Gone are the era of piracy - Now, it's you people doing yourselves. Call yourselves out, you know where the problem is coming from, face it and leave us in peace. Cinemas make money, cinemas invested their money too, and they will promote what will give them return on their investments too. Oga, go straight and tell us who you are fighting for.....we know, as your paddies didn't sell their films as they wanted, they resort to blackmailing, do not forget that the people will determine which one to watch, not the cinemas. Some producers, your own click have even reduced price, still, people are not watching it. It's called bad timing. The people watching the movies will definitely demand and pay for the best movies out there, whether cinemas promote one over the other or not. Make una no dey carry youtube movies standard go cineme - e no dey work. On netflix, if you don't have the connection to access netflix directly, stay your lane. It is that simple.
Did other producers put in efforts in marketing films like Funke Akindele? Because her marketing strategies also contributed to the progress of her films
Funke Akindele did nothing wrong let the remaining producers put more efforts and energy in what they are selling. Meanwhile you can also release ur films on during Easter, ileya etc.... Make una run ur race & stop bad belle of funke akindele ❤❤❤❤
Marketing is good, but when you get to the cinema to watch another movie that is screening and the cinema staff convince you to see her movie instead it is partiality. Give everyone a level playing field.
If i had planned from my home to go watch a particular movie at the cinema. No amount of conviction from any cinema attendant is going to change my mind.
@gboladeoshoala7456 that one concern you. If people want to make claims let them make it with proof, does he not know that this is also bad marketing towards cinemas, hence every cinema will suffer for what one cinema is apparently doing. If he won't name names let him shut up. If he won't provide proof, let him get out. Principal actor kor
Your associate should put money together, get loans from bank and build your own movie theater all across the country. That’s the way to your liberation. Otherwise, good luck.
Cinemas need the movies that will pull the crowd. They're in business too my brother. Market your movie well enough, cinema will prioritize your movie.
Let there be no hate between you guys. Be one. Let love reign. Maybe you guys should stop bringing your films at the same time especially in the festive period. Pit your films on streams platform then let people watch it there. But what I also know is that, the way you market your movie is key.... Egbon Femi I really like you , please this kind talk openly can cause hatred o. Sort it within. God bless you all
It is high time cinemas are boycotted. Every producer should have a RUclips channel. You can upload your movies and generate revenues. You can even make your movies premium so that people pay to watch them.
You are to take your breakfast by 9am today. I'm taking mine by the same 9am. Can you wait till I finished taking my own breakfast before you start yours?

It's all part of the corruption we are talking about. Did they watch her movie in the European cinemas or Asian market that she made a billion? The numbers don't seat right its all am saying
@@MayowaOMO-IZIREIN-t8n Lol I'm certain getting the amount they have made isn't an issue. They are business people so knowing the amount being grossed in is very important and not impossible. Also, you are underestimating the extent to which Nigerians can go just for entertainment and maybe their faves plus competition. Don't forget this is the holiday, people are very liberal with spendings at this period plus those from outside the country who just came into the country. It is extremely possible.
