I agree. The only thing I would like to add is that even the most unrealistic of Nollywood scripts are more realistic. The only proper nouns I see in this story are
1. Enugu
2. Hummer
Nollywood would have declared the name as "Chief [Add names]", alias [add nicknames(s)] and where the town where the remains of the beloved mother was buried.
It is as if the objective is both to expose the billionaire and protect his anonymity at the same time!
And I believe they use Photoshop and some other modern photo editor down there at Nollywood than was used in the pictures I see at http://talktokemi.blogspot.com/2014/12/millionaire-buried-mum-in-hummer-jeep.html
There is a huge market for fairytales in Nigeria and sociopaths revel in it.

This can not possibly be a Nollywood movie--most of which are made
on less than $10,000.00 per flick.
The amount of $10,000.00 in gas money the billionaire stuffed
into the Hummer casket for his mom is enough to make at least
two Nollywood moves with some change left over for promotion.
Nigerian billionaires do not fool around; this man has shown he really
loved his mother both in life and in death.
If some Nigerian governors can spend hundreds of millions
of Naira stolen from the public purse to bury their mothers,
why not allow a hardworking billionaire bury his mother
the way he sees fit --in a brand new hummer --in a burial
ground in the backyard of his sprawling mansion
which is guarded 24hrs by armed security men--should in case
any armed graveyard robbers or kidnappers might get some funny
ideas!
Bye,
Ola
