Warner Bros. 100 Years of Storytelling
By Mark A. Vieira
Foreword by Ben Mankiewicz
Description
In this official centennial history of the greatest studio in Hollywood, unforgettable stars, untold stories, and rare images from the Warner Bros. vault bring a century of entertainment to vivid life.
The history of Warner Bros.is not just the tale of a legendary film studio and its stars, but of classic Hollywood itself, as well as a portrait of America in the last century. It’s a family story of Polish-Jewish immigrants—the brothers Warner—who took advantage of new opportunities in the burgeoning film industry at a time when four mavericks could invent ways of operating, of warding off government regulation, and of keeping audiences coming back for more during some of the nation's darkest days.
Innovation was key to their early success. Four years after its founding, the studio revolutionized moviemaking by introducing sound in The Jazz Singer (1927). Stars and stories gave Warner Bros. its distinct identity as the studio where tough guys like Humphrey Bogart and strong women like Bette Davis kept people on the edge of their seats. Over the years, these acclaimed actors and countless others made magic on WB’s soundstages and were responsible for such diverse classics as Casablanca, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Star Is Born, Bonnie & Clyde, Malcolm X, Caddyshack, Purple Rain, and hundreds more.
It’s the studio that put noir in film with The Maltese Falcon and other classics of the genre, where the iconic Looney Tunes were unleashed on animation, and the studio that took an unpopular stance at the start of World War II by producing anti-Nazi films. Counter-culture hits like A Clockwork Orange and The Exorcist carried the studio through the 1970s and '80s. Franchise phenomena like Harry Potter, the DC universe, and more continue to shape a cinematic vision and longevity that is unparalleled in the annals of film history. These stories and more are chronicled in this comprehensive and stunning volume.

Facts You Don't Know About the True Origins of the Igbos in Nigeria
IGBO AMAKA!
The Igbos of Eastern NIGERIA have the oldest monarchy in Africa dating back to the Bronze Age when the Igbo Ukwu Kingdom flourished and famous for the awesome bronze artworks of classic naturalistic sculptures of the lost wax casting of the same period of time with the Indus Valley Civilization of South Asia.
The progenitor of the Igbos was among the "Sons of God" who fell in love with the fair daughters of men before the days of Noah.
The ancient Nsibidi writings which were discovered in 1904. Historian Robert Farris Thompson erroneously misinterpreted the meaning of Nsibidi as "cruel blood thirsty". But Nsibidi actually means "In the Beginning" or "The Beginning".
Igbos are "UmuChineke" which means Children of God.
Do you know that the word, CHI which is the Igbo root for the name of Almighty God, Chineke and Destiny is a universal name for destiny as the CHI in Chinese and Japanese which means the Vital Life Force of the universe.
Symbolism Of The CHI
In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ. Plato's analogy, along with several other examples of chi as a symbol occur in Thomas Browne's discourse The Garden of Cyrus (1658).
Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas(Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ.

The Political Hysteria of the 2023 Elections in Nigeria
The 2023 elections in Nigeria are becoming great stuff for historical epics on the political history of Nigeria; with the good, the bad and ugly scenarios of human frailties and depravities.
Nigeria is what Nigerian are.
Majority of them are as dirty as their dirty politics of tribal bigotry, religious buffoonery and Machiavellian demagoguery.
No Nigerian politician is a saint.
No Nigerian politician is incorruptible.
Everyone of them is either corrupt or a beneficiary of political corruption.
The 2011 elections were the worst in electoral malpractices and violence since 1999 to date.
The 2015 elections were also bad and bloody with "Rivers of Blood" in Rivers State.
I included the live reports sent to me by SMS in my book, "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream: My Eyewitness Account of the 2015 Presidential Election" printed in Raleigh, NC, USA and distributed by Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other booksellers.

Hilda Adefarasin: Farewell Mother of Nigerian Women
Farewell Mother of Nigerian Women
Mama Hilda Adefarasin will be remembered as one of the greatest women in the history of Nigeria.
She was a household name among all women in the 1980s..
Mama has chosen the International Women's Month for her transition to eternal glory at the grand old age of 98 years.
I wonder if there are still great women like her in Nigeria.
We should have an annual Hilda Adefarasin Prize for outstanding women in leadership.
Hilda Adefarasin (9 January 1925 – 5 February 2023) was a Nigerian women's rights activist who was the president of the National Council of Women's Societies (NCWS). She left her nursing profession in 1969 to concentrate on professional activities of the NCWS. In 1971, she was the council's treasurer and in 1987, she became the President.

The World is Full of Unreasonable People
Every conflict in history has been caused by Rebellion against rationality.
Humans have a preference for irrationality.
That's why the world has never known even one year of peace.
There is always a preventable war going on somewhere.
In the absence of noble ethos
The city burns in the violence of chaos.
The on going invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a rebellion against rationality.
The world is full of unreasonable people.

The Unusual Story of Nollywood
The Unusual Story of Nollywood by Dr. Chika Christian Onu
Description
Through the mouths of credibility, the author exhumes the buried artifacts of the long-earthed stories of Nollywood. Together the mouths weave a shocking tale of film expectation through the ages of unimaginable discoveries in the North, East, and West of the country Nigeria. The Unusual Story of Nollywood is a didactic document that x-rays the seminal movie Living in Bondage and exposes the cluster of information that may not have been intentionally hidden from the public. The book is an array of simple and complex paragraphs, systematically organized groups of small and large sentences, phrases, and quotes. The book is simply expressionistic as it goes straight to appreciate both positive and negative precedence that precipitated the birth of Nollywood in Nigeria.

Poor Reading Culture in NIgeria is Showing in the Poor Screenwriting in Nollywood
Poor Reading Culture in NIgeria is Showing in the Poor Screenwriting in Nollywood
You have to be a good reader before you can be a good writer and you have to be a good writer before you can be a good screenwriter.
You cannot be good in storytelling if you are not good in reading and writing.
I have written about the literature of motion picture.before, but I can bet that majority of the people in Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry ignored it, because of their intellectual ignorance of the importance.
Majority of the screenplays of NIgerian movies are intellectually deficient in message development and dialogue.
How can someone who doesn't read novels, plays, poems and essays be a good screenwriter?
You can see the evidence of poor intelligence in sentence structure of the dialogue.
You can see the lack of intellectual comprehension in the poor characterization.
In most cases, what we have seen is garbage in and garbage out (GIGO)
You cannot give what you don't have.
Many of the screenwriters in Nollywood are lazy to do research on the historical personalities in the film adaptations of historical biographies such as on Queen Amina of Zaria, Mary Slessor and Madam Tinubu. They end up with poorly researched screenplays for the film and TV productions. But the filmmakers often use good casting, directing and cinematography to cover up the intellectual deficiencies of the screenplays.
Reading is essential for screenwriting in storytelling.
I was the youngest professional scriptwriter in Africa when I started writing for the puppet drama series of the NIgerian Television Authority (NTA) when I was 18 years old and I wrote for four years. Before then, I was already a notable young writer interviewed by the Times International newsmagazine for my play, "The Prodigal".
Reading improved my intellectual comprehension and literary abilities in creative writing and scriptwriting.
