Hi Siji,
have taked to foundations? like http://www.artinafrica.de/projects.4.en.html, http://www.unesco.de/creative-cities.html
http://nollywoodfoundation.org/ (maybe you can get in contact with them to ask if there are some foundation in Nigeria?)
I'm sure they have lots of them in the States or in London ! It would be such a shame if your project would not get funded!!
Creator Nicola Follis on October 25, 2011
I really hope you get to complete this film - I've seen some of these guys play around Lagos, and they really are quite something. From the footage shown here, it seems like their story is in good hands. I really hope you get a chance to tell it in full to as wide an audience as possible. All the very best to the film-maker and production team. Nikki (London)
Creator Jeremy Johnson on October 19, 2011

hey man great project and good luck with your kickstarter campaign. I produce docs and just wrapping up one on African soccer. Aside from backing the project if there's anything else I can help with on your journey please reach out. Not sure if it's of any use but I have some Femi Kuti footage from this last doc that maybe can be useful? Good luck.

From Peter-Ben Femi Anifalaje's status on FB ( London Producer and Voice Over Artist)
I am at least glad someone has taken it upon himself to re-educate this generation of our heritage and how much the world has benefitted from it ... this is Powerful! Its a reminder, documented, of our Past, of where we are now (in comparison) and where we can go to..its a way of rewarding unsung Heroes (people who are still living in Dingy houses as seen in that video - Will the beatles or Rolling stones live like Paupers?) and also to Point to the world what we really are about and how much we influenced a lot of their music today!!...
and we all go hmmm..
Worthy cause to support indeed.
Creator Tosinger on September 28, 2011
This is very exciting and I can't wait to see it. A keepsake for generations to come.Thanks for stepping out with it Siji!!
Creator Ace Adegoke on September 25, 2011
This is an amazing project Siji. The N4LIFE team & I are big fans of your music & can't think of anyone more fitting to document our great country's music. Thanks & God bless www.facebook.com/teamN4LIFE
Creator christine lee on September 23, 2011
I love the subject of your documentary. Your footage so far is fantastic.
Have you heard a CD called Nigeria 70? It's music and an audio documentary about Nigeria in the 1970's. It seriously rocks.
Good luck,
christine
Creator Sagal Abshir on September 22, 2011
