BUSHHUNTER: She must be ashamed of herself ...of all roles in a movie is only slave she can play msteeeew Okereke disgracing us since 1986

Disgrace ke? When will ppl like ù learnt to appreciate d hardwork of others? ð lady is jes moving up . Haba!!!!!!

12 Years A Slave, Le Amistad, Roots etc., all have slaves playing the lead role. That the slave in this movie isn't the lead role doesn't take away the fact that our dear Stephanie is an accomplished actress in her own right.
.
There are roles (lunatic, prostitute, slave, gay etc.) that are very hard to act properly with total conviction, and it will take a seasoned and proven actor(ess) to get it, albeit a minor role.
.
Stephanie wants a way into Hollywood and if a minor role opens that way, so be it. CONGRATS Stephanie, keep making Nigeria proud.
.
PS:
Those yabbing about how they couldn't find the movie on Wiki, Youtube etc., common sense should have made you realise the OP made a mistake in the name of the movie, which is Boonville Redemption.
.
If you look at its Facebook Page, you'll see that this movie is currently undergoing production. So where do you want to see Trailers?

Stephanie is placed at number 6 in a list of 29 casts.

Exactly. You beat me to it.

dabossman:
So John Amos, Louis Gossett Jr, Ruby Dee, Djimon Hounsou, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sidney Poitier and the many more who have played slave roles have never played anything else but slaves right?

You probably don't even know half of the names on that list. Don't worry, I understand.

That list you put up there tell me a lot....


























Chop knuckle. You too much

make us proud

d devil take 'ee, 'ee cursed swine. why, 'ee never could stand till 'ee got behind da wheelbarrow

zizoo36: One of my best actresses. Nice one Stephanie!

You guys are just falling my hands! Lupita came to international prominence playing a slave too. She even won an oscar with other awards too numerous to mention. To get a waka pass role in Hollywood no be here something......dairiz god oh!

Well done Stephanie!!


Some of the comments na wa o!

justi4jesu: How some Nairalanders and Nigerians think really amaze me!


What is wrong in taking up the role of a Maid in a Hollywood movie.

Dont despise your little beginnings...even the Bible says so.

Tell them sir

If Kerry Washington could play a slave in Django Unchained, then I don't see anything strange or derogatory if Stephanie plays same in this new movie. Its just a character, she s only interpreting a role & that's makes her a veteran.
Moreso, they should have read the post before making comments, the character was suppose to be a slave, descendant from Nigeria, she's in better position to act that character than other Hollywood black ladies.
And they should never forget again that she's being paid to do her job in a foreign land, in the highest movie industry in the world. Its like if 2Face, a multiple MTV Award winner becoming a Grammy Award winner...even if its in the Up and Coming category, Africa or New Act category, Africa...its still the highest recognition in the Nigerian Music Industry.
What if she's their sibling, won't they be the first person to break this news to us on NL?
So I expect them to thank God for this lady & not otherwise.

Go through Nigerian forum and you will suddenly realize the true definition of "BAD BELLE"

Doris, a girl whose generation were slaves from Nigeria...

So this is the best they have to offer? Whites! Always looking for a way to talk down on us.

And to say this is even a low budget movie from an un popular producer...

Question or statement?

justineu: shatap ur mouth dere!!! Do u knw hw much she wil be paid in dat role So u expect her to play leadin role wen she is just startin in hollywood, dis chick frm kenye (lupital abi wetin dem call her) dat acted 12 YRS A SLAVE wat did she act? A SLAVE and she won an oscar,bet, wit dat and so many awards..y can't nigerians appreciat wat we av..just bunch of stupid pple arund..

lol.
He actually meant slave roles are not degrading.
His poor use, or lack of appropriate punctuation is the cause of confusion.

Itoroetti:

why did he featured wyclef in his songs?
why didnt he opt for ekwe?

that is because wyclef recognises him as a king....mind u wyclef came to work on the tracks in naija not the other way round

Y is it that itz only slavery we africans know how to act in hollywood movies?

What's up with all the banting and tirades people?! It's but a movie role. Lupita did it, she is also doing it...

_{[s]But I don't know why the shots from this flick shouts every bit of "12 years a slave"[/s]} ...

J12: Will she act a nude scene? I really want to see that...

english has suffered a lot
