 BUA gives update on completion of $3.8bn refinery. BUA Refinery and Petrochemical has announced that it is on track to complete its $3.8 billion plant in Akwa Ibom. In a statement on Saturday, the firm dismissed reports that the refinery is 90 percent complete. The clarification comes amid reports that the 200,000-barrel-per-day refinery is 90 percent completed. However, the company described the report as misleading. “Contrary to a misleading report stating that our 200,000 barrels/day refinery is at 90% completion, BUA wishes to advise the public to disregard such misleading reports that did not emanate from us. “As we make remarkable strides on our Akwa lbom refinery project, we are proud to Share that construction is progressing steadily. Whilst the refinery is not at 90 percent completion, we are, however, on track to meet our delivery timelines in collaboration with our partners.”

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: PERE EGBI JOINS FEMI BRANCH, TOYIN ABRAHAM, MERCY AIGBE, CALLS OUT CINEMADD OVER FAVOURITISM. (PHOTO).


 Enough is enough I’ll release the film on YouTube myself, I don't care to be blacklisted ,there is Favoritism in Nigeria Cinemas which Kill Our Hardwork- Pere Egbi joins Femi Branch, Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe, calls out cinemas over favouritism


Nollywood actor and former reality TV star, Pere Egbi, has joined the growing voices slamming cinemas in Nigeria for favouritism


According to him, some cinemas favour some films to the detriment of others, instead of enabling a level playing field for everyone to thrive.


Pere Egbi said this in reaction to a video by actor Femi Branch who called out the cinema industry for killing a lot of filmmakers just to favour a few.


Femi Branch said, “Cinemas are to give you screen time. But when they see that another film is popular, they will take your screen time and give it to the popular one.


“It is not the business of the cinema to tell anybody what to watch. It is not the business of a cinema to market a film for a producer over another producer.”


Reacting, Pere Egbi stated that everything revealed by his colleague “is pure facts.”


He continued, “Honestly, I was planning to wait until the end of January 2025 before making any movement, but at this point, I’m saying, “F*** it, let’s go!


This nonsense some cinemas do—hiding films, poor screen times—it happened to The Silent Intruder, my film. I spent over 150 million naira of my personal funds just on production, borrowed another 11 million naira from a friend in London, and still ended up being shown shege by cinemas. Imagine spending over 200 million naira (pre-production to post-production), and the film only made 53 million naira in cinemas. Out of that, I personally got just 8 million naira.


“It’s been almost 11 months since its release, and I’ve seen no Netflix or Prime Video deal. Meanwhile, films that premiered alongside mine are already streaming. Because of all this mess, I had to leave Nigeria and return to America to work, just so I can pay back the kind-hearted woman who lent me the money


At this point, I don’t care about being blacklisted. If nothing comes through by the end of January, I’ll release the film on YouTube myself. Enough is enough.”


His words corroborate complaints aired on social media by Toyin Abraham and Mercy Aigbe who both have movies currently screening in cinemas.
