GOOD BYE NOLLYWOOD:  By PRINCE BUBACARR AMINATA SANKANU
In 2008, the Germany-based African film scholar, Prince Bubacarr Aminata Sankanu, came up with the idea of changing the name of the Nigerian film industry as he considered “Nollywood” to be neo-colonialist and self-defeating to the creative energy and dynamics of Africa‘s largest economy. Seven years into his silent 10-year "Nollywood re-branding project 2008-2018”, Prince Sankanu explains in this extensive interview why he is floating “CINENAIJA” as an alternative to „Nollywood“ which he says ends in 2015 with the opening of the main competitions of the Pan African Film and Television of Ouagadougou (FESPACO) in Burkina Faso to digital films. Sankanu argues that the name Nollywood can be used to define a wave or phenomenon in the annals of African cinema history that started either in 1984 with Alade Arorime's "Ekun" or in 1992 with Kenneth Nnebue's "Living in Bondage" and ends with Desmond Ovbiagele's "Render to Caesar" film in 2014/2015. He explains how Nollywood signifies the film industry segment or genre within the creativity mix of Nigeria. The “CINENAIJA” Sankanu coins out of “CINE” from Cinema and “NAIJA” from the local parlance of Nigeria should be, according to his concept, the generic nationalist film industry brand in the Nigerian creative economy for infinity.

President Goodluck Jonathan has signed the 2015 Appropriation Bill into law,N4.425tn 2015 budget

                 

THE PUNCH has authoritatively learnt. Investigation by our correspondent on Monday revealed that Jonathan decided to sign the budget into law a couple of days back without fanfare. There have been concerns among Nigerians on whether Jonathan will sign the budget before May 29 when he will formally hand over to Muhammadu Buhari or he will leave it behind for the incoming administration which is believed may still prepare a supplementary budget.

But a Presidency source told our correspondent that the President signed the budget about two weeks ago immediately after the document passed by the National Assembly was transmitted to him.
