Nigeria is a good country, blessed with so many resources that needs to be harnessed to bring out best results and probably help us achieve our over ambitious and doubtless unrealistic goals and targets. However, the degree of misappropriation cannot be overemphasized.
Who takes the blame?
A question that can turn an active individual to a psychiatric patient overnight, not because he/she ponders too much but because of the regrets and burden that trails the discoveries.
Just according to a project management expert disclosed that the degree of project management is really poor in Government circles in Nigeria.
The degree, which is a function of project planning, execution and post execution stages, is really a form of charade in Nigeria.
NOLLYWOOD, Nigeria’s film industry (please correct me if I am wrong) is according to some the biggest in Africa, therefore they should have the best equipment for motion pictures right?
But I have seen another institution that has better cameras than them- THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.
This institution (all tiers) is very good in what we know as FILM TRICKS. Their cameras capture uncompleted projects as though they are more than completed, especially buildings and roads. I guess they have the best of DOP(Director of Photography).
I was at a site one day in the morning, later that day as I sat to watch the news of the day, I saw this same building been advertized on TV and the glory accorded to the administrator (I mean the political actor). I thought I was dreaming, because what I saw at the site was completely different from the TV “reality”.
I am forced to question myself- who is in charge of that video? Journalists or Government-sponsored DOP? They are so perfect that they make me remember the movies of “JET LIE”.
I think NOLLYWOOD should borrow, or buy or seek collaboration with these film makers who will soon push them out of the market, because their “movies” are excellent, I think only HOLLYWOOD can compare to them.
These cameras are surely better than NOLLYWOOD’S.
