Good News! 30 Days In Atlanta Original VCD Floods Lagos

As a result of the devious manner in which pirates produced copies of the hilarious movie, ‘30 Days In Atlanta’ even before the original was produced, the owner of the movie has devised a smart way of countering the efforts of pirates by releasing original copies of the movie in visual compact discs (VCDs).

In a phone chat, Ayo Makun disclosed that, a marketer has taken up the task to check the devilish acts of pirates who flooded the Nigerian market three weeks ago with thousands of copies of the movie.

“Paulo Concepts has taken up the task to produce the VCD copies of 30 Days in Atlanta. This is to shore-up the fake copies already in the market. There are other plans which I won’t divulge now. I want to thank the media for standing by us. Pirates don’t deserve to thrive here”. Meanwhile, the agency tasked with the arduous work of fighting piracy has shown the green light to hunt for the perpetrators of the movie being pirated. The Lagos commander of the Nigeria Copyright Commission NCC, Barr Chris Nkwuocha, has stated that the NCC has begun investigation on the matter having been given the necessary information needed to nip the problem in the bud.
