Betreff: Serious Complain against Mr. Rasmus Brendstrup of the Danish Film 
Institute and "politken.dk"

Dear CEO Henrik Bo Nielsen of The Danish Film Institute,
Dear Editors of POLITIKEN,

Concerning the above, I hereby protest and complain against one RASMUS 
BRENDSTRUP, Programme Editor of the Danish Film Institute and writer for 
"politiken.dk" who abused his freedom of expression to blog lies and half-truth 
about me on POLITIKEN on the 18th August 2011. 

1. On the 13th August 2011, I sent a bulk mail to people who directly or 
indirectly dealt with the Nigerian Film Industry to update them on the progress 
of my rebranding project. I did not personally pick out RASMUS BRENDSTRUP's 
contact. His "[log in to unmask]" email just happened to be on that list as he 
organized something on nollywood.

2. On the 15th August 2011, Mr. RASMUS BRENDSTRUP emailed me directly claiming 
that he found my rebranding concept for the Nigerian film industry interesting. 
I was so busy that I did not reply his email.

3. On the 16th August 2011, RASMUS BRENDSTRUP called me on my phone in Germany. 
Out of courtesy I listened to him. He wanted to know many things including the 
new brand name and logo for the Nigerian film industry I have been working on 
since 2008. I told him not now, he has to wait till when I unveil it to the 
media. I gave him the slogan but kept the name.

4. RASMUS BRENDSTRUP wanted to know if I am a true Prince as if that has any 
relevance to his work for the Danish Film Institute or his Danish readers of 
politiken. I do NOT want to be a superstar in Denmark! He lied that my Prince 
title is an artiste name. He did NOT write that he spoke with my father or my 
family on my history and background as a responsible journalist would do. He 
just felt comfortable lying.

5. RASMUS BRENDSTRUP bombarded me with questions about my activities and other 
projects. I answered out of courtesy.

6. RASMUS BRENDSTRUPH later emailed that he wanted to write about me and my 
project. He asked for set pictures of one of movies that I just produced. I told 
him to use my pictures already on the internet. He LIED that they are of low 
resolution. I did not have the time to sort out new pictures so I just sent him 
some that were readily available to pick any. To my shock Mr. Ramus 
misrepresented my project as a low budget trash. He did not bother to find out 
if I have a legally registered film company in Germany (below) or not). 

He just wanted to satisfy his racist hunger for NEGATIVITY and brushing off any 
African self-help initiative as fake, fraudulent and joke!

7. Before the email, RASMUS BRENDSTRUP called me on my phone (on the 16th August 
2011) with incredible curiosity trying to know everything. I answered some of 
his questions and referred him to my WACRACID FUND site.

8. He asked if I am a Prince, I told him I wrote everything on my nollywood 
re-branding project and on the WACRACID FUND website. He told me he did not look 
at that on the WACRACID FUND website. He was however happy to lie on his 
politiken.dk blog that a "false African prince is out to transform an enormous 
film industry" DISGUSTING INDEED!

9. In his hate blog/article, RASMUS BRENDSTRUP referred to one Mr. Teco Benson, 
a Nigerian Director who is vying for the Presidency of the Directors Guild of 
Nigeria (DGN), who supposedly told him I am a charlatan, fraudster and a fake 
prince! 

10. I confronted Mr. Teco Benson on Friday 26th August 2011 (copies of email 
exchanges can be sent to you) and he said he NEVER said such unfounded things 
about me to RASMUS BRENDSTRUP. 

11. When I called RASMUS BRENDSTRUP on the same Friday as I have the 
journalistic right of reply (write of reply), he claimed that his politiken 
blog/article entry is the work of journalistic investigation.

12. I told him that I have at least 15 years experience in journalism and I can 
send him my CV to verify so he cannot preach me journalistic ethics. I also 
wanted to know if he spoke with people who can verify his lies against me in a 
court of law and he started blabbing and threatening to put off the phone.

13. Either Mr. RASMUS BRENDSTRUP or MR. TECO BENSON is being economical with the 
truth. What have I done to them to deserve such a wicked character assassination 
in the name of free speech? I never met them in life and I never asked them for 
money or favours for them to call me a charlatan, fraudster and fake prince. 
Atleast Teco Benson emailed and clarified to bury the hatchet while the aloof 
RASMUS BRENDSTRUP is still living in denial.
 
14. It is a shame. RASMUS BRENDSTRUP is NOT a sincere person. He misused my time 
and trust just to lie as way of attracting cheap attention to his politiken 
blog. Fortunately, I did not send him the draft memorandum of understanding for 
possible cooperation and the new logo for the Nigerian film industry. He would 
have misinterpreted them more.

15. I brought this to your attention in the name of sincerely, clarification and 
right of reply (write of reply).  I have nothing personal against RASMUS 
BRENDSTRUP but it is barbaric, wicked, stupid, nasty, racist, arrogant and 
irresponsible of RASMUS BRENDSTRUP to bend people's words, turn facts upside 
down and insists on practising ethical journalism.

16. It is unfortunate that narrow-minded fellows like RASMUS BRENDSTRUP can 
claim to be working for Respectable Institutions like the Danish Film Institute 
and politiken. 


17. Lastly, I am telling RASMUS BRENDSTRUP that if he does not remove or modify 
his politiken blog posting or present journalistic sources who can confirm his 
lies in a serious court of competent jurisdiction, I would consult my lawyers 
and possibly seek the services of a Danish Lawyer for defamation law suit 
against him and politiken.dk.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION DOES NOT GIVE ANY DOG THE BARKING RIGHT TO LIE AGAINST 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING BAD TO HIM (IT) AND EXPECT NO

RASMUS BRENDSTRUP thought that since I cannot speak his language, he could just 
spread lies in Danish without me or anyone seeing it. THE WORLD IS SMALL!

Thank you very much for your time. I can forward you copies of my email 
exchanges with RASMUS BRENDSTRUP and Teco Benson who denied/rejected his 
writing, should you request them. 

The detailed copy of my nollywood rebranding project description that Mr. RASMUS 
BRENDSTRUP treated with disdain can be downloaded from the website at the bottom 
of this email.

I remain at your disposal for questions and clarifications.


Yours sincerely,  

PRINCE BUBACARR SANKANU
