ARREST OF DAN-IBRO AND THE FUTURE OF KANNYWOOD

[Dan-Borno]

Hey guys, nobody is talking about the recent arrest
and imprisonment of Ibro of the Kannywood.  there
is much criticism as to his arrest and how the case
was swiftly concluded without giving fair trial to the
artist.

May be the Kano State Government is going too far
on the issue of drama and home videos.

[HUSNAA]

Its going too far kuma duk abin munafunci ne. Me yasa duk shekarun baya ba ai masa wannan kamen da dauri ba? ai ba kwanannan ya fara futowa a finafinai ba ko wasan kwaikwayon talabijin. These ppl are fighting a losing battle. In da gaske suke yi, sufara  da irin su DSTV mana and other cable TV companies or with owners of cable tv receptions. Abinda a ke nuna wa a cikin cable tv, positively makes actions din irin su dan ibro look saintly and angelic.
Allah waddan naka ya lalace!

common muhsin wake up from ur slumber and face
the reality.  its time you expand your horizon to
accept the global trend in communication.  for how
long shall we be discouraging our artist just because
they aired what is happening in the real life?

i dont mind if Ibro is being punished for not allowing
the censor board to screen his film before going to
the market, but punishing him for films he has long
time ago made impact.

sooner or later, kannywood might turn to jossywood,
because, jos is openings up its arms and receiving the
artist, so also the nollywood - the likes of Ali nuhu
are taking up decision to relocate to where they think
they can display their talents.

Muhsin, have you watched to Ibro drama that was
performed at Baga town in Borno?, to be frank with you,
that is exactly what is happening in that 'island', and
we need someone to expose the reality of what is happening
and possibly into a drama form so that it can be well
understood.

critically watch Ibro films, despite its bad production, he
still conveys meaning and full of entertainment.  Now, if
Ibro is being released and he relocates to either Jos or
Maiduguri, dont you think his video will sell more than ever
before?

I bet you, sooner or later, the kannywood actors and actreses
will pose a challenge to the government of the day and they
will win.

Lallai dan adam dai ba'a iya masa! Abin mamaki ne wai ace yanzu kuma Husnaa da Myself su suke kushe yadda aka dauki mataki akan film actors/actresess a Kano.

Amma yanzu an fara gyara lamarin, kun ce ba haka ba. I remember I was almost the lone voice here calling for caution and a little understanding for the industry during the "Hiyana Debacle". Most of yo ppl, (Husnaa et al) were calling for their heads. And now you're singing a different tune? Gaskiya kun bani kunya. Gaskiyar Muhsin ne.

Kuma na yaba da matakin da aka dauka. Yayi daidai. I suggest anyone should go and watch the film "Ibro A-LOCO", and tell me if he did't deserve to be imprisoned. Ya kamata su kara masa da bulala dari >:(

Wannan rawar batsa da iskanci da lalata itace 'entertainment' a wurin ka? Ka kuwa ga irin tabargazar da yayi a wakar "Mamar" a cikin fim din? If you consider that entertainmnt, then you must have an abnormal sense of humour.

So what if they are relocating to Jos? What's so disastrous if they are relocating to Jos? Listen, no respectable state govt would allow them continue with the type of stupidity inherent in their films nowadays. Especially given what happened with hiyana. I was a fan of them, but even I stopped whne I discovered that duk shirme ne da iskanci a fims din yanzu. I was all for an amicable resolution of the dispute btw them and the censor board, but it seems the industry players feel it is beneath them to keep to the simple rules and regulation of film making in the state. What's so difficult about subbmitting your script (or film) for censorship before releasing it to the public, in dai ba iskanci ba?

BKG, yaya dai memory dinka? Ko dai aiki ne yayi yawa that ur memory serves u a fairly distorted perspective of our views on the Hiyana debacle?
I think that anyone who is familiar with my stance where Hausa films are concerned will come to the conclusion that I usually defend them. The case of Maryam Hiyana was condemnable by any standard, but as much as I allocated blame to her, I also sympathized with her case, saboda she is not unique in this kind of thing. It was her apparent fame as an actress which made the whole thing notorious and I suppose one could say that Hausa actors are looked up as some kind of models and therefore they have to be extra careful how they present themselves outside of their profession.
Apart from that, I still continue to think that ppl in the Hausa films are being persecuted. I havent seen a Hausa movie in the last 2yrs so I dont really know whats happening in the industry, but in my own reckoning, the Kano State govt has bigger fish to fry then picking on inconsequentials like ppl in the movie industry to try and convince the populace that its doing something about their state of welbeing.......
Amma BKG is a diehard ANPPian so no surprises there.

[Dan-Borno]

.....the Kano State govt has bigger fish to fry then picking on inconsequentials like ppl in the movie industry to try and convince the populace that its doing something about their state of welbeing.......

this is the exact level we are supposed to rate the impact of
the hausa home video actors vis-a-vis what the people of
kano state is expecting from their government.  when last we
were debating the issue of wether shekarau is doing fine or
not, i chose to be on the blue card, because i rated him among
his other colleagues in the north, so also the hausa home
video issue.

there are places in kano (a cikin gari kuma) you wont love to
see how life is going their in terms of batsa da rashin kunya
da ashararanci and name it the way you want that government
can not point a finger at because of the political impact it will
create.

last time it was zango, kuma i think iyantama or somebody (i
cant really remember) was also legally brutalized, today it is
the turn of Ibro and only God knows tomorrow who kano state
is going to unleash its terror.

another apparent implication of these unfounded and baseless
arrest tried in kangaroo courts is that it keeps on making the
actors and actresses know their right and as i said in my
previous post will make them stronger and stronger to the
extent that they will fight down the state political victimization
that has just started.

all the  people legally brutallised have clearly stated that it is
nothing but political manhunt - ba dai prison bane, ibro will come
out and kuma he is going to expose all what he saw in the prison
i am sure its a new eye opener for him.

Bakangizo, you can defend your government to whatever level,
but mind you there are things that no matter how hard the govt
will be on it, it can never succeed because it comes with TIME.

I dont know kano very well, but I am very confident that the
kannywood has reasonably created jobs to the teaming jobless
youth in our society despite the fell attempts by our governments.
So for you Bakangizo to say let kannywood move out of kano is
unethical of your profession as a government spokesperson.  Lets
not talk about the revenue they generated ranging from registration
of business name to the numerous recorded and unrecorded taxes
imposed by the state government.

It will be unfair to all of us, if we say kannywood doesnt contribute
anything commercially to the government.

Kuma issue na censor board, i still repeat, i will never support any
upcoming actor or actress to boycot them and i support if they
are punished but not in this unhumanly manner.

Watch out for IBRO PRISONER.

When the world becomes globalised can we idetify ourselves? We need to create differences in all aspects of life to be able to mark ourselves off the cultural nudities that are going on around the world, and associate within the global social system and survive the moral and spiritual realm! We can still be modern without losing our cultural values, identity and morality! Modesty is verily verily very important in our lives as Hausa people and muslims! 8) 8) 8)

Its a bit too late for that Jibo. When we are in the grip of everything western that we can lay our hands on. Abi  ko talabijin dinma da cd players da duk naurorin da za mu amfani da su mu kalli dan ibro's films are a product of western culture..abi?
A rejoinder, just try to be good muslims that is all. As that virus Anderson said to Neo in the film The Matrix: 'that is the sound of inevitability', so irin su dan ibro are the faces of inevitability.

Well, we can still survive those with some adoptation or adaptation and colonised them to be part of us! But trying much to be as much as bad as others is not even the good nurture of the west nor the moral standard of its philosophy. There are sanctions and censorship even in the very heart of Hollywood! Right?! It not bad trying to keep the tempo of these crises low! ;D ;D ;D Any way thank you for the comment! ;D ;D ;D

[Muhsin]

Wish I could respond to your words DB and Husnaa at lenth. But as usual, my time is limited and have lots to do on the web. InshaAllah late or when next I come, I'll categorically talk tall on that.

BKZ, like your guts of reponding to them. Keep it up.

Of course I know it will come to this. Do you hate Shekarau so much that you MUST find a way of linking every thing to his govt? Why are you having so much sleepless nights about him? It was in this same forum that people insinuated that the govt is not doing enough about the hausa film industry. You ppl made so much noise about how important they've become in our socioeconomic life that something must be done to check thier excesses. But you are singing a different tune now. I guess to you Shekarau typifies the proverbial person who will forever remain in a lose-lose situation, no matter what. In ruwa ya shiga, zaki iya cewa ya tayar da kura. Besides, yu are not in position to talk about die-hard support. Everyone here is aware of your blind followership of Buhari.

this is the exact level we are supposed to rate the impact of
the hausa home video actors vis-a-vis what the people of
kano state is expecting from their government.  when last we
were debating the issue of wether shekarau is doing fine or
not, i chose to be on the blue card, because i rated him among
his other colleagues in the north, so also the hausa home
video issue.

WHY MUST IT BE A SHEKARAU THING? Eh? Discuss issues. And I don't care if you support his cause here during the debate. You can abuse him to high heaven, it won't be any skin off my nose. I discuss things objectively, not sentimentally. Yau in shakarau ya wuce ta gaba na, bai san ni ba. In yayi da kyau ina fada, in yayi mara kyau kuma ina fada. I'm not like those who deliberately refuse to see an atom of bad in their "Hero".

And I still maintain that an yayi daidai akna matakin da aka dauka kan 'yan fim. They can relocate to bornowood or jossywood or jigawood, or whereever they feel AS LONG AS THEY REFUSE TO OBEY A SIMPLE RULE OF FILM CENSORSHIP. Kano won't crash because of that. Not even a dent. Please stop dreaming. Ba zasu iya ja da gwamnati ba.

Nade wukaken BKG kafin wani yaji ciwo. I dont know why you keep confusing other ppl's sentiments concerning the Hausa film industry with my own sentiments. I dont ever remember  condemning the Hausa movie industry in this forum and  at no time have I called for stringent measures to be taken against them. When I believe in something, I can be very staunch and I am staunch where the Hausa film industry is concerned. I have never sang a different tune, I am not fickle minded individual Alhamdullillah. So I suggest u go back and do a little revision of the forum posts.
As for Shekarau, whatever you do or say wont sway my view about him. I dont hate him. I have never hated anyone in my life, kai I dont even dislike him, amma we must call a spade a spade whether u BKG like it or not, and as its no shirt off yr back then there is no need for u to hyperventilate ko?  And yes I am a die hard supporter of Buhari, becos he delivered, more than Shekarau is delivering. And let me repeat this: su  Dan Ibro are the faces of inevitability and urs are the protests of a lassoed bronco. Thats all.
