Four celebrated pace-setting English movie marketers on parade  

Dozie Eriobu



By IFECHI OKOH

It is on good source that since 2004, the vocation of Nigerian English movie marketing has become a big concern, magneting interested and gifted young men from across the Niger, especially those with the genuine interest and natural stamina to face squarely the attendant challenges of not only putting together mind boggling money into movie packaging and marketing which comes into play inevitably in the investments. Today, we are proud to parade four of the celebrated pace-setters of English movie packaging, starting with Dozie Eriobu of Infinity Merchant, Ejiofor Ezeanyache of OJ Productions, Andy Nnadi of the Andy Best Movies and Gabriel and Damian Moses of Amaco Investment. Now, let's go...

DOZIE ERIOBU

As at 2004, Eriobu, who was strongly believed to be in his 30s, was just one of the youngest men to step boldly on this commercial terrain with the few mentioned in this parade. He christened his concern Infinity Merchant Movies. He marketed successfully hit movies like "Hostages," "Domitila," "Raging Storm," "Most Wanted," "Contractors," etc. His movies were usually over publicised, hence his productions were rated as the highest selling in the business. He actually sold in hundreds of thousands. This reason alone quietly placed him in the front seat among others.

EJIOFOR EZEANYACHE

This dimunitive C.E.O. of OJ Movies is a highly intelligent mortal. This is interestingly obvious in his speech and interaction. He is undoubtedly a big fish in movie ratings in Nollywood. His packages too, attest to this popular belief. OJ Productions is the official name of his marketing outfit. It is on this stable that great Productions like "Blood Money," "Oath," "Diamond Ring," "Igodo," "Izaga," and other tight Productions hit the streets in the days gone by.

GABRIEL AND DAMIAN MOSES

Both are the vibrant young men behind the much talked-about and celebrated Amaco Investment, a front-runner in the movie industry. The creative twosome believe seriously in themselves and what they are doing. Interestingly, this is well shown in what they are doing and the attendant obvious and impressive results. This has actually been encouraging them to put heads together in their productions, placing them where they are today as pioneers in English movie making. Their top and evergreen productions include "Deadly Proposal," "Evil men," "Odum," etc.

ANDY BEST

The quiet soul behind Andy Best productions is Andy Nnadi, who many see and respect as a visionary movie packager and electronic items marketer of high standing over the years. We scooped that just as he is pulling his weight in electronic products distribution, so also he does in the movie industry. His company is behind the making of high standard productions like "Narrow Escape," "The only Nigerian girl," "Ulaga" and other celebrated movies.
