Tinapa Movie Studios………Another hoax?

Tinapa Is Located In Calabar State Of Nigeria Where The Famous And Prestigious Obudu Cattle Ranch Resort Is Located

I remember the sanguinity and passion the Donald Duke administration had for Nollywood, I remember when the first major Nollywood Movie Studio project began in Calabar. Everyone was optimistic because they respected what the administration of Cross river state did with Obudu Ranch making it the biggest tourist spot in Nigeria and with this resume, the Cross river government broke boundaries so naturally I was hopeful.

Now that Donald Duke’s tenure is over, we have been wondering what happened to the Tinapa Studio Project. Our correspondent was in Calabar recently to do a report on the Tinapa dream and she came back with shocking results. The project has lost its momentum since the new administration has been sworn in. Construction is going on at a snail's pace with little progress and the site was almost deserted as construction workers were no where to be found and there were tall grasses everywhere. We at nollyarns.com are using this medium to appeal to the present Cross river state administration to please put an end to this “abandon project ‘’ debacle that trails most government establishments in Nigeria. If the state government can not come up with enough funds to finish this project, they should seek the help of private investors because our darling Nollywood needs a movie studio. Nollywood producers have been using the “no studio” excuse for years as justification for the garbage they produce; we think it’s high time we separate the chaff from the wheat. Hopefully the Gov. Liyel Imoke administration will do the right thing before Donald’s dream is crushed.
