You think Nollywood movies are predictable? Scenes that have shown that Hollywood Movies are also predictable

Just as it is with products that are imported from European, Asian countries and the USA are always highly rated in comparison to those that are produced in Nigeria even if they may have same quality and may even be cheaper - the Nollywood movies are always thought of as inferior when compared to Hollywood movies and we find all kinds of name to kill the brand like there's no story line, It's predictable from the beginning of the movie, but we forget that the budget on Hollywood movies may be as high as 150,000,000 USD which is because they are funded by various banks, companies and investors. What would have happened if the Nigeria movie industry could have even less than 20% of the kind of sponsorship they receive - It would have been revolutionary considering what they achieve with the little they have currently.

SCENES THAT ALSO SHOW THAT HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ARE PREDICTABLE



This lock down period have made me watch many Hollywood movies and i noticed similarities in movies, scenes, plot and predicted some scenes which always are repeated.

1. The American cop suddenly becomes more informed and lethal about a case which they've been pursing for a while without any progress or success mostly when they've been suspended and asked to go home or on forced vacation for some weeks, months, indefinitely suspended or even fired and are called back or asked to rejoin the force after they must have burst or cracked a big crime syndicate, cartel or drug lord with lots of applause and celebration

2. Most Music or dance group always have one person in the group that dances better or sings better but will leave the group close to a very important competition with no hope in sight the group will still push to partake in the competition only for the star boy or girl to appear from no where at the last minute and welcomed back by the group which in most cases become the cynosure of all eyes and wins the competition for the group with a lot of celebration.

3. During combat scenes the protagonist or actor as we like to call it in trying to rescue is family member(s) that have been held captive, wife or girl friend, the protagonist would've beaten everyone and killed the enemies who are now on the floor seemingly dead only for him or her to be shot or the person(s) he rescued because the person was yet to die and in most cases that's when several bullets will be riddled on the villain or boss that now dies and surrenders.

4. Most times any family member that the Protagonist visit when being searched after by the villain(boss) end up dying which then suddenly spurs the Protagonist to action as he becomes more prepared to win the next battle scene

5. The girl friend to the protagonist will only realize that she can't do without him and she's in love with him when he is about to leave for another country and in most cases that's when she will run under heavy rain fall to meet him in the airport or take a cab to stop him from leaving

6. There's always exist a wicked bully to a freshman in high school who after many beating will become friends because he fought back or was able to win the heart of the students for being too intelligent or making a striking discovery.

7. Bullets in the Gun most of time finishes when the people left are the protagonist(actor) and the Villain(boss) so that they can have the long awaited fisticuffs and combat each other to the death

LIST THE PREDICTABLE SCENES YOU'VE NOTICED... LIST YOURS...

Two Months Free Electricity - Have government paid for the Postpaid Bills And Prepaid Meter electricty consumption as a result of the Lock down?

Were you rejoicing that bill hasn't been delivered to your residence and probably you are claiming that government have paid for free electricity supply as a results of the lock down announced to slow and contain the spread of the Corona virus Pandemic - this is a mere happenstance that might have been caused due to the marketers delay in getting a bill across to your residence perhaps because of the Lock down, I have received my bills and plans to pay, because the DISCOs are private owned.

When I first heard of the palliative measure to make possible free Electricity. I wasn't optimistic because this is what we know we can truly feel and will support the poor, middle-class and the rich - With no will, plan, finance or provision to back it up and here it won't be a fable of conditional cash transfer we keep hearing.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE POWER SECTOR

The Electricity value chain consist of the Generating companies(GENCOs), Transmission Companies (TCN) and the distribution companies (DISCOs).

We all are more concerned about the DISCOs because they are the ones that distribute power to the households, offices and companies after it must have been stepped down power to 33kv and 11kv from electricity from TCN.

The government only owns the TCN and partly some GENCOs and have privitized the DISCOs and some GENCOs.

Some GENCOs need gas to power their stations before Generating to TCN and transmit to DISCOs, the DISCOs are the bottom of the value chain and they are the ones that go after the money and pays the NBET who then pays the return to GENCOs and TCN.


DID GOVERNMENT PAY FOR FREE ELECTRICITY

The NBET is paid by the DISCOs after customers might have paid for Electricity, that's when you pay your bills before and after disconnection or when you recharge your prepaid Meyers and the NBET get across payment to the GENCOs and TCN.

What government paid was ₦200 billion for the gas that is supplied to GENCOs to wheel power the country - which has Always been the norm as the money generated by DISCOs after remittance to NBET is always poor as majority of Nigerians have huge outstanding debts and some refuse to pay their bills and also they have issues with cost reflective tariffs. When we stop paying our bills there's a chance that we may stop getting power supply, because the private companies (DISCOs) will not be able to continue rendering service.

VERDICTS: Government can't just make order for free Electricity - the government must first raise the necessary fund to pay the Distribution companies because they are private owned and will need to do capital expenditures to keep distributing power.

So far it's just propaganda - it will take within 120 - 180 billion Naira paid to the DISCOs before free supply can be achieved. That wasn't budgeted for in our 2020 budget and no provision have been made by the House of representatives on this and we've not heard of any sitting on this.

That's why when I saw the staff that was beaten I felt bad for him. We should avoid this. It's the money paid for Electricity to DISCOs that will end up being paid through NBET to TCN and GENCOs.

If you don't have money then there's no need beating staffs that have families waiting for them to come home and we are still the people that will complain when there's no power supply and we have refused to pay because of a sensational headline of we shall, we will and we may do.

Government haven't paid for free Electricity and so far there's no hope of it in sight. If it happens it will be a miracle - as we've not even taken care of the poor who are hungry and are still having donors aid our fight on COVID-19
