Ramsey Noah laments insufficient cinema houses

One of the nation’s renowned actors, Ramsey Noah, on Thursday decried the dearth of cinema houses in the nation.
Noah told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that this had retarded the growth of the movie industry.

Noah said that the prevailing situation was contrary to the provision in the Nigerian constitution that prescribed one cinema house in each local government area.
Noah said that this had contributed to the level of poverty and unemployment which has made it impossible for the entertainment sector to thrive.
He said that cinema houses should be built to address societal ills and boost the nation’s economy.
“When we have a cinema house in each of the 774 local government areas in the country, a good number of Nigerians will no longer battle with unemployment.
“Poverty will equally be a thing of the past and the entertainment industry will experience dramatic improvement.
“Every local government must have a viewing centre as stated in the constitution to further boost the entertainment industry.

See Wooden Bridge Constructed By Young Men In Adamawa State Without Government Support

This wooden bridge was constructed by young men in Adamawa without government support. The old bridge was destroyed by Boko Haram. It was a very important bridge that connects Adamawa North and Adamawa Central. Even the governor and other important people in the state use this wooden bridge when they visit their villages. Instead of rebuilding the bridge, the Adamawa state government recently announced that it will spend 200 million Naira on prayer warriors. I believe that is a misuse of public money. Nigerians are praying daily. You don't need to spend millions on prayers. The North East states have a lot of work to do in rebuilding the communities and infrastructures destroyed by Boko Haram. I don't think the governors in the region understand the magnitude of the problem. It is time for them to wake up and get their priorities right. If you know the Adamawa State governor, tell him that rebuilding this bridge is an important and urgent project.
