Uzor no dey stress people, an absolute joy to have on set. 🔥

"Nollywood doesn't have good writers" says the CEO/executive who pays peanuts, works with the same crop of writers every day, treats new writers like crap in his writers rooms.
You my dear, do not deserve good writers.
One of the things that makes me a good damn filmmaker is really the fact that I have failed and learned from my failures.
All through my years in the entertainment industry, I have learned from my failures and those of my superiors.
Happy birthday, Wingonia. Here's to an audacious, wealthy and fun year. Glasses up for me. If you can get on a yacht, shake ya tail feather in my honour.
Ijakumo (The Born Again Stipper) a film Line produced by me (Wingonia Ikpi) is currently out in cinemas nationwide.
Please go with your friends and families to see the beauty that this is. Go one, go many, go all.
The day is finally here!!!
What has Wingonia Ikpi been up to?
Short answer - adding more feathers to my hat.
Long answer - I just wrapped up an action-thriller project which was a crossover between the Nigerian/UK film industries led by “Action Xtreme” CEO Chee Keong Cheung (Redcon 1, Bodyguard)
Second time in the week that I’m being introduced to foreign filmmakers who have been burnt at least twice trying to invest in the industry.
We really need to do better. There’s always so much mess to clean up and trust to earn before something good comes out of it. Draining.
They don't need to say it, some have more than 90% men in their workforce and it's considered normal. I'm pretty sure you know this but agenda must agend.
From Afrobeats cultural dominance; now Nollywood to the world
I shared my views with Vanguard Nigeria on ways Nollywood can further spread its tentacles and solidify its reach both locally and internationally.
Please read and share:
Was so ashamed in this gathering.
People talking about Nigerian producers skimming off the top and collecting backends from crew members will always be a thing of shame to me.
I’m so sorry, there’s no two ways around, it needs to stop.
Vieewssss when your film is out in the cinemas. Take a look, mawomii!
Kisses and koo-koo fun as you watch Ijakumo (The Born Again Stipper) at the cinemas today.
I honestly cannot wait for everyone to complete the two part film of

I need you to see how amazing this title isss. The twists and turns and connectionssss!!!!!
Love it sooo much!
Hi everyone, 2024 is fast approaching and I'm in need of a videographer/editor who is open to creating dope/well edited and stylish videos for my talent.
Please send an email with your past works to - Wingoniaikpi

Let's ball!
I'm excited
#jujustories
is getting rave reviews and support. Nigerians, give the producers 500m, so we'll have more confidence to pitch these stories.
My actors are Hawking Bank Alert on their heads!!!!! 😭😭😭
Love, love these crop of actors and I will definitely sing their praises everywhere I gooo!!!
Thank you so much. Thank you. 🙌🙏
The making of "Ijakumo" was indeed an experience! Here's a BTS showing the dedication, resilience and unwavering optimism of the cast and crew on this project led by

Catch me as Line Producer on this.

Next year I'm going to be more audible and audacious about my projects.
Because I sabi this film work, please. I will refuse to hide under the radar in 2023.
Me trying to cast/sell an actor for a particular role:
Goes to their IG page - no good pictures.
Searches for their monologue - absolutely nothing anywhere.
So, my dear, how am I to cast/sell you for a role? Everything isn't hinged on physical auditions these days.
We have been working with
@KaizenKreativ_
and team for a couple of months now, and I’m just here to say he is a good sport!
Kaizen is creative, takes feedback and creates magic with it, he adapts and is patient. A great guy to work with, for real.
- writer rigged the game for him.
- at no point was I scared of losing him.
- guilt trips people for doing the dirty work but enjoys the fruits.
- always acting holier than thou but every evil committed in this game was beneficial to him.
Did not deserve the win by any margin.
So apt! The reason i cringe at woman who throw words like "indecent" around, when describing other women.
Your coloured hair, trousers, wig, MENSTRUAL CYCLE, etc are seen as indecent and unclean in some places. I need my women liberated.
There is no version of woman who cannot be seen as a prostitute. To some people, going to college makes you a harlot, to others, wearing tight outfits, or not going to church, or drinking alcohol, or having a car, or having premarital sex, or wearing lashes, or not cooking. . .
If this is an ode to Endsars, it really shows the superiority of film. Two different film makers can be given the same premise/subject matter, but approach is where it's at.
Again, the industry needs funding to fully realize its potential.
Surreal. This year, I'll be a judge at one of the world's prestigious awards; one that caters to all things marketing in the entertainment space.
This is a sign to bring your productions to us for premium scaling.
Come to us with your financial and production investments.
Nigerian men treat their wives with disdain, cheat and allow their family members trample on them all in the name of being the primary providers.
Tables are turned and you expect your wives not treat with the same level of hate? What a joke.
The change you seek starts within.
Let's take a minute to analyze the events of last night.
You mean, these same Nigerians celebrating a football game this greatly, didn't celebrate the results of the presidential election?
Fink abourrit. Nigerians don't hide their joy.
One of my video game scripts has been greenlit. Can't wait to see what the developers do with it.
🤭🤗
I don't know how to act right about now. Shulai scream, jump or dance? Aii, I'll dance.
It is funny when people pull “Wingonia will know how to sort it.”
And when it’s tabled, Wingonia actually knows how to help and sort it.
You’re right. Wingonia knows.
Post production especially the editing part of it still needs strong hands in the industry.
More training and upscaling needed.
I’d love to know the people running good suites and post houses in Nollywood.
Thrilled to announce that our short film - "Otana" has been officially selected for some festivals:
- African Movies Academy Awards - Lagos, Nigeria.
- The Lift-off Sessions - Pinewood Studios, United Kingdom.
- First-time filmmaker sessions - Pinewood Studios, United Kingdom.
Can't believe this argument. Lol. Can't believe anybody thinks the Military rule is best for Africa after all the irreparable damages we've faced and still facing.
For every Sankara, there were 5 Mobutus, Gaddafis, Abachas, Bokassas and Idi Amins. And Sankara himself had several question marks.
But again, these are the arguments of an 11 year-old with a very loose grip on any actual facts and data. Just feelings and pure nonsense!
This thing is so silly. How are you not from the place of someone who carried you for nine months (as is mostly the case with Nigerian women)?
But anyway, a lot of Nigerian women change their state of origin to that of their husbands once they're married. Wahaleux x2. 😂
I’m very invested in my team’s growth. You can’t be with me and not notice some/immense progress.
My mentors took my growth personal, therefore, I shall do my best to pass on the spirit of excellence.

, is how hard your chi or whatever you believe in, needs to work.
Box office from last year (as line producer) ended the year at 278+million early this year.
- Produced my first box office film.
- Put forth a personal IP for next year.
- A lot more understanding of film business.
- Worked with great people.
Next year we do better. 🚀
I just finished watching 'King of Thieves' at the cinemas and I'm so excited!
The sort of excitement you can't keep in. If you were part of this, you should be proud you made a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful madness.
Well done
@niyiakinmolayan
I have said this too many times before. We have stories. Africa has stories. Black Americans have stories, let's use these stories and put in the work!
Same goes to the female Batmans and supermans and all that bullshit! Create new stories and characters.
Blackwashing white characters is not a step forward. And it WILL bite us in the backside down the line.
A black Superman is a lazy sad useless idea, just as a black Roland was.
We need new stories. And we can’t be afraid of the extra work it takes to gather new audiences.
😊

In Michael Jackson's 'Bad' music video, while Michael is dancing, whining and doing the Jackie Chan moves, pretty sure Wesley Snipes was like "boy stay steady let me know how to beat yo ass". 😂😂
By Jove, gen z has no idea the power MJ had.
Belinda Yanga should get more praise for her character portrayal in JuJu stories.
Such natural, easy and subtle performance shouldn't go without an applause.
