Lordave:the ease with which he jumps from genially dissimilar roles, like from an action hero to a comic to an emotional wreck should lay emphasis on my conclusion |

Something must kill a man, you smoke you die, you drink you die, you womanize without protection, hiv comes, you die, you drive, accident is inevitable, you could die, you eat excess fat or protein, bad cholesterol can kill, cancer is the new friend in town now, it respects no one. So do whatever pleases you, what is killing us is the same thing keeping us alive, life is all about the choices you make. Lights up my weed, oh God, life is too short I don't want to see your face now. |

They should have used Saidi Balogun or Ramsey Noah for the role. |

Nihilist: On point. Chinwetalu Ejiofor's accent on the movie ' Half a yellow sun' was 98% Igbotic. He would have played Dr. Omalu very well. 2 Likes |

Chinom: It is ridiculous...the thing is Will Smith is not even a good actor anyway. Watch all his fils, he just pulls the same 'Pitbull in Distress' face whenever he needs to show 'emotion' That trailer was embarassing. They should have just let him keep his American accent and pretend his character is fully westernised. 1 Like |

Emeskhalifa: Not a Biafran. But proudly Igbo. Does Buhari have a Nigerian accent ?. Does OBJ have a Nigerian accent?. Maybe you should try to answer these questions. Maybe you will understand what I mean. Dr. Omalu would speak with an Igbo accent. 2 Likes |

INDUSTRIALFAN:That is where they visit the most. You can't blame them for assuming the south african accent is a general african accent. |
Re: "Concussion": Will Smith Plays Nigerian In New Movie by Octaves(m): 6:14pm On Aug 31, 2015 |
Hope he gets the accent right. Hollywood lumps all African accents together with that annoying southern African accent. 2 Likes |

chefremy: Corporate politics. Guess they don't think any of our Nigerian Hollywood actors merits the opportunity to appear along side Baldwin and co. Marketability issues and class, may be the reason. Who knows? If na slave movie now, they will quickly look for raw African characters. Only a Nigerian can act as a Nigerian. We are unique. One may not know this, until one lives abroad and then has the opportunity to compare Nigerians with other blacks from anywhere in the world. Actually, the rest of the world assume that almost every Nigerian is either a doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant or other professional. They have come to realize that Nigerians are unique and ambitious. Unfortunately, we have been governed by the wrong caliber of politicians, due to religious and ethnic sentiments. It is such a shame. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lordave: Youngice is not actually wrong. Will Smith is also an Artist (he sings). I have listened to a couple of his songs. The Pursuit of Happiness, remains my favorite movie of his. |

He tried bt still not nigerian enough. He spoilt my beloved nigerian accent. Dunno y if dey want to depict a nigerian character dey neva consider casting an actor from nollywood or an original nigerian, same way dey did lupita nyong'o. Dunno y dey always change it wen na naija turn 1 Like |
