Selling a Script

Selling and Buying of Film/TV and music scripts in Africa is a serious issue. Nollywood producers keep producing poorly written scripts while the good writers lack opportunities to market their scripts. it is with this challenge that some us had to develop international market and started enjoying the dividends of International Scripting. Before you market your SPEC scripts, you must learn the professional steps towards getting your screenplay done, there are also recommended screenplay software that will give you an acceptable draft that any Film producer in Nollywood or Hollywood will buy. i am conducting personal and group training for all the aspiring Screenplay writers across Africa. If you can arrange a group of at least ten people, then your own training becomes free. this training will feature screenplay tutorials, marketing steps and after the training, each participant will be given a screenplay software and will be guided on how to sell their scripts. for further details, contact me

African Men

Here in Africa, we don’t even know the Heroes, we don’t have ideas of those that has bright future and those that does not. An average African man you see on the streets, looking frustrated and warn out may be the brain behind an international project that others celebrate.
The Foreigners underestimate African men, that was why they have fallen victims of African fraud, Africans can be exploited but they can never be fooled , why the lower ranks of the military obeys the higher Ranks is not because the latter shoots better, it’s to set peace in the system while their dreams to grow become a reality, here in Africa, we have a common believe that the small will later become the Big, Our continent is still developing, while the grasses wither at the sea shore, we must wonder what has gone wrong from the root of the waters, but why the desert grasses seize to flourish, we see no dangers with the action for the harsh sun will ever smite again
I point this out to you; things don’t go the normal way here in Africa. Why will an African man graduate from the university with good grades yet he will not find a place to work, the lions have lost their Den to the monkeys, and antelopes are swimming freely in the waters of the crocodiles.
I know it happens here, things are going wrong amongst ourselves, but we try to fix it. It is with this heavy heart, that an African man leaves, he has a girlfriend who was taken from his hands by the law makers, with a grin, and he knew his purse has gone weird.
It is with this troubled soul, these expectations of mystery, this fear of insecurity that African men leave. They are good yet we have seen that they are not good anymore, there is no opportunity given to the good. They are intelligent yet they are no more intelligent, intelligent ones have been ridiculed and their women taken from them.
Now they have all turned out to be African Men, hunting in their tropical, we must eat, yes we must eat. We must keep our women yes we must keep our women, we must secure our own position in the toughness of this existence, it is with such sensitivity that an African Man leaves.
Now, they start to try out themselves, the farmers will pick their hoe and will never return until the sun fades, the traders will enter the market, with hook or with crook they sell and they trick, computer experts were not rather in the Banks, or the rich telecoms, rather they are in the café, sending mails to the rich and convincing them to be a victim
we the few, that has conditioned our mind to never let go, our empire, our dignity, our ego, our knowledge of the Good and the Bad, at first, it seems we are the African men, retched in the streets yet celebrated, while we strive higher, the greedy politicians became afraid of us, the corrupt emperors will start to consult us, they need our knowledge and lo, they must pay, that was the origin of our survivals
But African men are here, they know about all yet nothing is for them, you come in to exploit them and they trick you. Stop thinking about our retched home, stop watching our uprisings in your televisions, stop sending us soar wines and epidemics, we can work and earn our living, we do not want to imitate the greedy politicians, who instead of constructing the roads, they choose to fly on helicopters . it is because we are Africans, that is why we never learn to vote them out, it is because we are Africans, that is why they use us. Stop using us, I say stop
Girls all over the world want to sleep with an African man, for they know the power of our strength, and the uniqueness of our concepts, they want to use us and dump us, because they know we are Africans that is why they are victims of circumstances. They are victims of their own crime
You can’t use an African man and dump him, you can use him and teach him, you can use him and pay him, if you underestimate us, oh, I pity you.
The strength of an African man is in his concepts, though the hero may tarry, he must be unraveled. Tell them that my Bakery said so.it's me, LionKing George

How it Sucks to be Poor

What can I say my people? Hmm I will have to apologize for this long silence here in my bakery. Recently, I had serious screenplay demands for Home video and TV soap opera producers. If you were in my shoes, you won’t say no either. During my last screenplay contract which was a fifty- two episode TV script, I was actually half way to the end of this screenplay when an idea struck me.
I know you would be wondering what idea LionKing in nurturing this time; well it has to do with a screenplay that I will draft next. HOW IT SUCKS TO BE POOR?

Why should the Lion roar from the den, why should the golden cock crow in the morning, the virgins have even lost their virginity, war has taken over the waterside villages, slavery was the greatest threat to the Gurus but in this dream that I nurture, the children of the most wealthy citizens sleep and wake up with a sudden urge to discover. They failed to research on impending dangers of a democratic community, they left behind, medical researches on the control of disease outbreak, they have abandoned mathematics and Law, they want to know something, what millions of children they see along the streets knows, what even the children of their gardeners’ know. they have watched from the glasses of their exotic cars, they have seen from the veranda of their towers and empires, they are getting tired of learning from the televisions, watching them with a dirty plate on their hand and a torn cloth that covered their nakedness, their curiosity has waxed very strong that adventure have taken over their sense of reasoning.
Right here in my Bakery, I declare to you, what these children have resolved to do, why won’t they do it? When their grandfather was a senator and their mother’s wedding was in New York. Why won’t they do this, when their third driver was sacked for watching them tread on a dirty mud in their school gate? Why won’t they do that, when a senior doctor is paid for overtime during epidemic periods? Why won’t they resolve to do this, when soldiers are paid well to take them on evening strolls? They were born into great riches and have never experienced lack. Now to them, it has all been riches, riches and riches. But they have asked these questions for long, how does it feel to be poor? Even their father could not answer that, because his grandfather was a senator, not to talk of the mother, who was born and brought up in New York.
Now the children are tired of police guards, they no more enjoy Tinted cars and Roaring jeeps, they jealous what they do not know and they have set up a mission, a mission to know HOW IT SUCKS TO BE POOR.
Does it really suck to be poor? Is there a different life to enjoy in poverty? If yes, the retched ones should stop hawking along the streets and if no, the smiles that come from the faces of the poor should fade away
This mission is the base of my next screenplay, it is for all and for sundry, TV Producers can start to call, Home videos and International Film makers are free to come in at this point.
I am looking for a producer that can give me his budget and I will write up the screenplay to fit in. all I need is a little upfront and it’s done
You may be new to my bakery but I assure you, I can write about anything except nothing, and when I sit to write, I become the master and his slave, see you when you call +2348038843041

Strange Secret about GURU GUANOS

Sometime ago, when I was writing the first Review about The GURU GUANO screenplay, I remember I chewed my gum with a leaking nose, but I realized that to be a writer is just about how well you reveal secrets that people may desperately want to know about. Then I had to write again about the characters I assigned to the GURUS. What about my major character, ZAFANA?


Yes, she is a young girl but practically possessed by the mental strength of the GURUS. I’m sure you have consulted your dictionary once, at least about the word GURU. ZAFANA has that intelligence, and a raging ego that distinguished her from the gatherings of other young ladies of twenty six.


Slim, tall Fulani extract with a strong touch of Igbo tribal affluence. Such cultural unity that made a unique lady is the base of my GURU GUANO screenplay.


At the boundary area between Enugu state and Kogi state in Nigeria, where two culture and religions lavish in Unity. Languages were interchanged as children of different cultural/religious backgrounds swim together in the streams that gave the demarcations. If a place like that were not created with a little fragrance of unity. These present religious war in Africa would have resulted ninety years ago in a place like the Valley of OKUTU, Where the GURU GUANOS settled. ZAFANA rose from amongst these children too. Regarded as slaves of war, even with super crafts and intelligence, they remained as subordinates of the freeborn. Using cultural references of the Osu caste systems in Eastern Nigeria and the Mande of Cameroon.


Hey…who’s at my kitchen door? Let me check.

Screenplay Review ( "Back Gate")

 To those that visits my bakery, this is a backgate to the Screenplay review of my present story



Screenplay Review of my present project as the president International Youth Right (IYR) Nigeria. I appreciate the contributions of the president, IYR Worldwide. And the Uganda, South Africa IYR leaders, and of course encyclopedia for the research materials they supported me with. Thank you.

Having our 2011 objective in mind (achieving universal basic primary education)


I am establishing a story based on the effects of unrests on the major basins in Africa. Off course I am still made of the concepts that promote fictions, but other writers know I’m the lion king. Ruling over the fictions of African realities, a basic precaution not to offend the other Lions But sometimes I do precede the boundary of my own social habitat, I still lead my baby lions, my readers, I treat them preciously like babies.


The effects of social unrests in achieving universal basic primary education in Africa, It was during the wars, like the Nigeria Biafra War. My screenplay will dissolve the concepts of my dreams of fiction. But I think I will pick characters from some research findings I made. During my course of research, I visited University of Nigeria Nsukka, that’s in my Town and I knew the best private libraries. I visited Enekwe research center, center for basic space science UNN, Enugu state library also, I had fun and worked too. Visiting Enugu reminded me of my university days


TILA is my major character, with plenty of told stories on her head. My earlier scenes will come as flash backs of when she was born, how her father choosed to appreciate her twin brother who is a boy. 


 Horses were rode and the boats sailed her to her grandfather where she was told the stories of wars, at 8, she had a psychology that reflects the shots of violence. These are the major problems of primary education in Africa. Children have been given wrong training at the early ages of their elementary. They developed certain mentalities with reference to their background which TILA did. She was disorientated and denied her basic right of Education yet she had the courage to be a Leader. And her intelligence


I tried to develop stages in the scenes where she will steal away to see Princess AVILA who motivates her to be a woman in her spirit.


Then a voice over scenes was placed in-between, to explain how her Grandfather took her to several spiritual places, seeking for a solution to her psychology. Yet the concept of purity dwelled inside of her. She was discriminated.


Then she tried to break away traditions that created that discrimination between the male and the female gender, which keeps the male child at a high investment value to her female counterpart. To TILA, my screenplay developed her courage to break the boundary, so she ran away and enrolled in school.


Let there be equal platform for male and female child to compete in primary education. The screenplay suggested that too. TILA did well in her classes.


I may develop the story as the demand comes but the IYR demanded for a short documentary drama and this is the beginning though an end to this point.

Letter to Laurent Gbabgo of Cote D'ivoire

Unbehalf of African Youths, under strong influence of the peaceful objectives of different youth bodies I currently serve and those I have represented. I write to show concern over the present political crises that developed from the last Cote D’lvoire’s presidential election. We have listened to your appeals and that of Dramane Quatarra, we have reviewed the words of your counsel and your critiques.

With the virtue of democratic authority invested in the youths, I wish to plead that you must step down for the Sake of our continent Africa. Here in Africa, we do not wish to embrace only, the sciences and technologies of the developed nations rather, we also wish to adopt their democratic structure of governance to enable us attain the same level of development as they have done. Without doubt, the United Nations has recognized Quattara as the winner of the election. Judging from the conclusions of the UN and other internationally acclaimed democrats, we do wish that you will step down.

It’s true that at your level of power and experience, you cannot compromise your rights and privileges but we do hope that your ego should be compromised for our sake. Over 250 people are dead already and poverty is returning to our land. If you cannot compromise the seat for the conclusion of the UN, then it must be for the sake of these poor citizens that are dying. We have your name labeled in the strong book of history of African leadership but do not wish to include it on the names of those that caused war and deaths of Africans

Moreover, I use this medium to plead to you and every other African leader, to embrace democracy and always consider the rights of the citizens first. We the upcoming leaders are regretting the fact that you people have not developed the platform of Equity and development for us but at one hand, we plead that everything maybe taken away before our regime but let peace be left for us.

With peace, we shall rebuild the broken empires of Africa,

With peace, we shall compete in technology and philosophy,

With peace, we  shall rise up, not just as people, but as a continent, to achieve our lasting victory, against war,terror, constant bridge in democracy and we shall remember that someone like you have compromised your feelings to see us rise

One love Africa

On behalf of African Youths

Yours sincerely

Ugwuja George
