Rules are rules but why nominate in the first place?

This old cargo is a broke ugly olosho. No wonder at such age she is still single.
Husband snatcher

You are sick and you don't realize it. Every successful woman is an olosho? What does her marital status have to do with the topic? You lots believe that life begins and ends with marriage. That "Olosho" can buy your whole lineage 20 times over.

There are different categories of contributors on forums like Nairaland.

There are some who would give opinions about the topic and there are some who would give opinion that expands the topic.

Obviously i only make an expansive contribution that deviate attention to the fact that King of Boys would stand a better chance to perform better at any International recognition than Lionheart.

OSCAR or Not, there are worthwhile movies that are better than Lionheart. wink

And you should know that this is my opinion.

As far as you are concerned, that may not be the point of this topic, but as far as i'm concerned that is a take home point for you and every other person who saw my comment.

My advise to you is, learn to communicate properly without been provoked especially in conversations like this one where provocation is not really needed.

That is what communicators refer to as 'Absence of Emotional Intelligence'.

I hope i am communicating to somebody? angry


You've communicated well sir

They should have submitted Kunle Afolayan's Mokalik. Lionheart had predominantly English dialogues. Genevieve herself barely spoke Igbo there
This. This!

I love Genevieve but to be honest , that movie was mediocre .

Place it side by side with other movies submitted for best foreign language and it looks extremely bland .

Having 500 plus languages is no excuse .

The requirement for the category has always been clear ....best FOREIGN language .

No need to sensationalize and act pitiable .

A lot of countries are multi lingual but still manage to showcase their cultures and primary language.

So which one is nigeria primary language...or they should speak 3 language in one film?

What about a movie in Igbo with english subtitle? Won't that make sense. I really dont give a damn about their oscar anyway. It's not for us. It's still part of the culture of domination because you go to them to seek validation.

Best defence:
"To @TheAcademy, You disqualified Nigeria’s first-ever submission for Best International Feature because its in English. But English is the official language of Nigeria. Are you barring this country from ever competing for an Oscar in its official language?"

Kunle Afolayan's The Figurine would've been a perfect fit.
The Figurine had good storyline but poorly acted, it's like I'm watching kids movies.

Exactly, some part of the movie are unnecessary, like the part where the kid try to climb the balcony and fell, most kids(if not all) are scared of height, it's unlikely for a kid to do that in real life, they should have found another way to kill the kid in the movie.

I know the kid arc love superheroes but kids don't climb balconies.

And Ramsey Nouah arc was poorly develop, I know they are trying to portray a nerdy guy who's obsessed with a girl.

Why are people saying it was nominated? It wasn't! Rather it was SUBMITTED. They're two different words.

In the resurrection power of Jesus christ, I rebuke you now and forever more.

Thou lion of the tribe of judah, consume you now in the mighty name of Jesus
Amen
Oh yea! So you hate negative words? And you spewn it out to people? Do as you will like others to do unto you! Now you are rejecting it and crying up and down with the power and the blood of Jesus. Do the right thing and the right thing will come to you. All you need do, is to rebuke yourself and not me.
