"Sometimes,
A dream almost whispers...
It never shouts,
It's very hard to hear.
So you have to,
Everyday of your lives,
Be ready to hear,
What whispers in your ear."
( Steven Spielberg )

In order to trade the harmonic waves of human possibility, within the Creative Space, various stakeholders have an unwritten obligation in the Emerging Global Economy. And that is to unify Artistic Chords, even if they're coming from the strangest harbours of the world, including without bias, the improvised tambourines and bells of a Soul-lifting ragamuffin soundtrack in, "The Mayors" ( 2004 ).
[ A Cross-Atlantic Trademark ]
LIFE is a people's game, but two inimitable players turn it into a master's game. It's a showcasing of character on reel, but the intellectual heavyweights inhabit the centre of a small ring of followers, without wearing the obvious boxer's gloves. Instead, they put on the subtle thinker's cap, in a populous country called, Nigeria. And where two historic rivers meet, two iconic human beings also meet, but the country's heritage remains at high stakes from start to finish, whilst wisdom seeks for a place to hold in all human hearts.
In the end, the hands of vanity could not sustain a hold on the spiritual pillars with which God has secured the high roofing sheets of creative human effort, and crass mundanity that is peppered by an inordinate profiteering motive suddenly drops on its human knees, in reverence to the immutable laws of Universal Artistry. But the minds of the people watching can still be helped, to recapture a decent moral ground, as well as, hold a remembrance of the sacred moments of dictionary ease, quietly unfolding at the pace of reel, between the principal actors whose conversations readily take the shape of Superior ART.
If the viewing crowd would think that Hollywood once took the Shakespearean man out of the literary woods, and that Nollywood once brought the Achebean woman back into her dramatic whims; perhaps the actors' guilds across the Atlantic Ocean should re-think "Tinsel Town", as well as, the "Oscar Awards" with a generous wink —
they should jettison global mis-education, re-train the cosmic work ethic, and rethink a World Festival Of Art.

Dickson Iroegbu once trained his eyes toward his fellow players in the acting profession, in Nollywood. But this is a 21st Century review of, "The Mayors".
[ A Nollywood Walk Of Fame ]
NOLLYWOOD should keep its heavyweights, but think about a re-make of, "The Mayors". It can take back its former simple step on videotape, and turn it into a double strut on the cutting-edge of Film. This is a rebranding of the Klieg, but the honorees do not wish to hide their faces from Hollywood Lights, including the veterans in the old template. Millennials are thinking, with Steve Jobs iPads, but their penultimate muse is Adam Smith's economies of scale, in regard to the Film Industry.

THE WORLD still rests its frame of immensity upon spiritual pillars, and the small hands of Man must hold onto these tall pillars. There's one however, amongst these suspenders, that bears the infallible name of creative arts, from which arose a tidy gem, "The Mayors" (2004 ). But the artist is called to use his refined mind to direct the motion of his working hands. For example, one man decided on such a sizzling platform, within the Cinematic ART; Dickson Iroegbu.
[ A Universal Walk Of Fame ]
IF YOU WANT a field to play, use your mindset to navigate the flux of the world. Man is always in Motion, if he's not moving, the Earth on which he dwells is constantly moving — but he must keep this Relativity in sharp focus, and the Motion Pictures too, in order to balance the Mind.
Adam Smith suggested such a division of labour, long suffering years ago, to organize the Workforce, but at the same time, to enlarge qualitative Production. So that if a Man must think from a given position at work, without a hitch; let him also cash in on the motions of his mind, in this case, on the reel; and leave the remote control in the benevolent Hand of God. From hence, came, the Wealth Of Nations
[ The Intellectual Hu$tle]
"To Me, being an Intellectual
Does not mean knowing
About Intellectual Issues;
It means taking Pleasure in them."
"The World,
Is like a mask dancing.
"If you want to see it well,
You do not stand in one place."
( Chinua Achebe )
