AFEEZCO MUSIC TAKE OVER IDUMOTA MOVIE MARKET, LEADS TOP OPPOSITION FACTION     

MOVIE RELEASES NOW INCREASED TO 50 EVERY TWO WEEKS

For those who are familiar with the political trend within the Yoruba movie marketers’ leadership in Idomota, Lagos Island will know it is one full of regular crisis. Two months ago crisis erupted between a young marketer, Couple and the executive of the Union who had sanctioned Couple that he cannot release a movie at that period which was the period the young marketer was due to release. The sanction was basis of marketers who hadn’t released movie for a long period and that they be given the opportunity to release within that period. This decision by the Chairman of the association, Toymax  raised eyebrows which later degenerated to an argument between him and the aggrieved Couple as he insisted that those concerned are the marketers who have two to three registered company names in the association and their main and popular company had released movies. Besides, he (Couple) had waited for his turn to release movies and see no reason why such directive should be issued at this period. But the chairman committee on movie release in Idumota, Afeez Salami popularly known has Afeezco music kicked against the National Chairman’s decision and this erupted into an argument between Afeezco and Toymax. The meeting ended in commotion. To everyone’s dismay the next day Afeezco’s  boys (staffs) called him that the Union had served them a letter of indefinite suspension,before Afeezco could reach his office in  Idumota the young marketers had taking the case on  attacking the executives vowing that they will delay with Toymax if he was caught in the market. In view of this the information toymax was alerted and he had to stay back. When Afeezco came to the office on that day he calmed the young marketers and told them not to be violent and should leave the issue of his suspension for him to handle. As this crisis was on Afeezco issued a directive that any marketer who has movies to release should go ahead without considering whether it was his or her turn insisting that henceforth movie release is opened to everybody in the market. Though, movie release should be between 20 to 25 but it’s now increased to 50 to 60 now becoming free for all. Today, in Idumota, Afeezco  seems to be calling shots while the boys now calls him Awise (prophet) because according to them his prophesies seems to be coming to pass.
