Proposal to Build Cinemas on the University of Lagos Campus
To the University of Lagos,
EbonyLife is at the cusp of a groundbreaking new era of entertainment in Nigeria. It offers a rich, diverse, engaging and award-winning array of fine films, comedies, dramas, talk shows and much more for today’s Nigerian audiences. EbonyLife has partnered with numerous entities over the years to bring culture, enlightenment and entertainment to people in a number of venues. Today, we at EbonyLife want to grow our cinematic presence and partner with the University of Lagos in the development of a 3-screened cinema of 500 sq. meters on the University’s campus.
The purpose of this project is to provide students and employees at the University with the opportunity to be part of the next stage of evolution that is happening at EbonyLife and throughout all Nigeria in the arts and entertainment industry. Being at the forefront of this industry, EbonyLife has created and established considerable expectations among its core audience, which looks for more ways to integrate EbonyLife productions into their own lives and activities.
A cinema is a place where communal experiences can be had, where culture can be celebrated in public, and where discussion and appreciation can be promoted. The University of Lagos is a place of learning, engagement and culture and would fit well with the objectives that EbonyLife aims to achieve. Together, we could develop a relationship that marries the arts produced by EbonyLife with the need for entertainment at a culturally-rich campus.
Because EbonyLife is already positioned at the forefront of Nigerian cinema, having already produced two of the top four grossing Nollywood films in the nation’s history, EbonyLife’s foray into cinema intends to capitalize on the brand’s appeal by providing students and the community a place to see their favorite films on campus.
Nigeria is still under-represented when it comes to the ratio of population to cinema screens, so there is clearly a considerable market opportunity and a chance to fulfill a need for easier access to the cinema....
By working with EbonyLife, the University of Lagos could cement its stature around the world as a college dedicated to students’ needs in all aspects (social, economical, and educational) while also providing an outlet to the community that fosters the University’s growth and development by maintaining a viable connection to that community in the form of having an arts and entertainment offering that is popular, in demand, and wanted at a high level.
Now is the time to act because now is the time in which the cinema is most needed in Nigeria. Nigerians seek to see the world and enjoy our productions in the context of a larger community. The cinema offers that opportunity. The cinema is also the voice of ideas, the voice of progress, the voice of introspection, and the voice of representation. Through cinematic productions like those established here at EbonyLife, people all over Nigeria have begun to celebrate pride in their culture, their heritage and their achievements. EbonyLife wants to bring this celebration and…
Nigeria is one of the largest economies in Africa, with a GDP of $414 billion, ranking it 31st in the world (CIA World Factbook, 2012). Nigeria also has tremendous human capital with 170 million people, the 7th-highest in the world.

Yet, Kay Weller speaks of geography as "concerned with spatial differentiation," which is to say that anyone who is going to understand the problem from a geographical perspective must look at Nigeria's human geography -- in other words, Nigeria's regions. Weller goes on to state that "ethnic geography is important to an overall understanding of Nigerian human geography. One definition of an ethnic group is that of a group of
Few if any of the militant groups in Nigeria using the weapons have the means to obtain these weapons directly; instead, they are typically purchased by otherwise legitimate Nigerian businessmen from illicit manufacturers and distributors and traded for oil "bunkered" (stolen) by the groups themselves (Keili 2008). Nigeria and other countries in the region placed bans on the importing, exporting, or manufacturing of most small arms and weapons within
Nigeria faces a number of obstacles to becoming a modernized state. The country is currently ranked 32nd in the world in GDP, but 182nd in GDP per capita (CIA World Factbook, 2011). These figures are inflated by oil revenues that most of the country's people never see, as 70% of the population lives below the poverty line and the country ranks 147th in gross fixed investment and 183rd in education
" Also 48 winners of the Nobel Prize (in Europe and the West) urged that there be a new election because the evidence of fraud was so blatant. I know you are aware of the fact that the European Parliament passed a resolution that urged the European Union of nations to stop sending financial aid to Nigeria "...until fresh elections are held."
