But that Nollywoodforever girl later confessed that the story seems a little bit complicated for her her to comprehend/understand at some point. And that makes me wanna watch it more since its not So straight forward. I just hope the complicated joints won't be like that of figurine.
Re: Half Of A Yellow Sun: Best Nigerian Movie For 2013 by ijebabe: 7:28pm On Feb 27, 2013
Lol! She is mean. Her review killed my interest in the film completely, gosh I wish I never saw this review!

Exactly, I'm very curious to see it but not trembling knees kind of now, now. Also I know her from a different site I've been on for a few yrs and she's nearly always on point with reviews plus a couple of other people that have seen is said "Meh, just ok."

VillageBoi:

Teehee, you dey vex? I no insult you nah!



No intimacy anywhere? Your words o! No wonder you dey vex - please you need to go and deal with it... it causes very much vex and is not good for the body & mind; I saw it on a dokumentary!




Yes I am a very typical Nigerian - Where you think say I from? Don't believe that stupid book called 'Men are from Mars, Women are from venus'. So as a proper Nigerian is it not cane that we use to correct persin? Dunno about you but I chopped it well, well. All said and all done hopefully you yourself will start to watch Nigerian films in the cinema instead of seeking free links on the day they are released - it's not good for the young industry at all... Even though from day one you still neva let us understand your reasons so I can only deduce, thinkability it and kowashiate my logical conclusions! Furthermore, and (according to you) you can even afford it... so that still leaves questions unanswered.

I see, so you must be guilty of the same "Nigerian thief thief mindset" you accused me of earlier smiley. And I sure do not read books with such incomprehensible titles so you need not worry your head. Ah beatings solve just about anything in Naija right?Well I got enough of that too perhaps that's why I can't see myself spending money to watch movies which might even have a confusing/annoying story line after I have seen it and without reimbursement too; my parents will beat me die if I even do that one sef (I see someone about to pour hot water on me grin calm down VillageBoi ehn).

speedyboi:
Hmmmm *grabs popcorn*. I see some 'tage'ing in the air.

Anyway. Na ije I dey expect to comman answer my post becos I don dey vex 4 her seriously!

Sorry to disappoint you speedyboi, I sure say your popcorn don expire teh teh as you just siddon dey wait for action wey no happen.

VillageBoi:

Hang on, is Nessa from Gambia? Anyway my broda... why did you buy popcorn... no action there. The mission is only to annoy her until becomes a fan, teehee!

First Ghana now Gambia ? You and speedyboi's got issues. Well you both can keep the guessing game going

No, ya parents will beat you for not reading books from farest and widest. And Nigerians don't call it beating; it's street-name is 'good home training' lol.
Why in the world would sombody pour hot water on you?

Phew! I actually got a "Hahahaha" and "lol" all in one reply from you, I am doing things o grin. You haven't stolen anything that I know of and it wasn't an accusation, just a statement. Ah yes 'good home training' indeed, I got a lot of that whichever way you put it cheesy. On the hot water part, I was pulling your legs, I was just imagining you about to explode after reading my reply (laughing)and wondering what you'll write next. Its a good thing you've confirmed that there is no dispute on your having issues because its obvious you and your brother from another mother speedyboi have lots. speedyboi no vex ko?

ijebabe: If there isn't any romance after all this noise, im using the report to moderator button tongue

Romance?? Hai! Perhaps I should change my name to @VillageBoi'sLady to satisfy everyone. You know you were a part of the "noise" before I even came in smiley, its funny how this trend changed drastically from "Half of a Yellow Sun:Best Nigerian Movie For 2013" to something entirely different. VillageBoi what do you say? You better don't give me that

ijebabe: I'm beginning to feel it'll be a flop sad

I doubt it'll be a flop as it has 2 massive things going for it - The name 'Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie' and the globally experienced & successful producers.

Obviously one does wonder why nothing at all has been trickling out as per keeping people interested and engaged considering the very high profile producers. One would have thought they'd be premiering it in festivals well-known for attracting strong distribution but no... it will premier at FESPACO!

Has any film from FESPACO ever gone anywhere? Why there? Why in the world would the 'producers' pick that festival? Is there some politics or behind-the-scenes issue that happened? The film is hardly being spoken about anywhere? So yeah, I personally have so many questions... BUT...

...On the bright side I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. Definitely the producers know what they are doing, afterall, 'Last King Of Scotland' (by one of the same producers) had its prem in Uganda and won an Oscar award 2 days later!

The wait is still nail biting shaa lol
