You are right,

But sorry I dont like Nollywood movies, i cant stand blatant copy and paste.

I cant stand the fact that i can summaries a movie in 5 mins of watching it.

I cant stand the look of trying to be something we are not.

I cant stand the way they we ignore our history,

Even as old as that movies was i can never forget it (am talking about Things Fall Apart) why cant we make more movies like this? this the kind of movie that hollywood will be begging to be a part of, cos this one is our history we are the only ones that know the story. And By Jupiter we have lots and lots of stories, a great movie start with good stories, we dont have good stories WE HAVE GREAT STORIES. Can you remember the stories your grandparents use to tell under the moonlight in the village? now try to recreate that.

I cant stand blatant fake acting.

Am sorry Hollywood has ruined me, I cant unsee the hollywood movies i have seen, sorry cant deal.


Every good story feels even greater through the lense of nostalgia.

A publisher places a prohibitive price on rights to their "treasures"

Funding is too scant for a nollywood producer to "waste" on a "good" book/story

We will get there someday....

The Nigerian economy and mentality will have to improve if Nollywood is to grow. Why would anyone invest massive budgets to make a movie that 2/3rds of the population will download on pirate sites? Our cinema culture needs to improve before our movie industry can stand a chance.

Same thing.

Give it time.

Who cares about local pirates when there's in-road into the global market.

Then Scot Adkins can play Bruce Wayne when given the time and resources? (i digress)


You are now going into detail what makes a nollywood flick, its a sum total why a top nollywood star wont star in hollywood movies. they dont give time, dietitians, or physical trainers in nollywood.

they will have to start their acting career all over again to reach this level.
this is my stand on this issue.

You guys should cut Nollywood some slack na.

We are still at the subsistence level, as indeed all other areas of our National life.

Some actor, or a studio, or a national event might soon get the attention of the mega studios.

Collaborations will be forged in time.

Then and only then will true works of art start coming out of our Nolly.

Until then, appreciate the little efforts of these brave film makers who put their little resources, and indeed risk penury to produce what we judge so harshly today.

Give it time......

Family / Re: What Is Your Earliest Memory? by Unionised(m): 5:00am On Jul 08, 2019
Ishilove:
Except for very few exceptional folks like my pal Oweniwe, we don't bring memories from our past lives into the present one (although they sometimes surface from time to time. That partly explains 'deja vú')

Babies also don't retain memories, and research has indicated that most people's earliest memories only go back to about age 3-1/2. Sigmund Freud coined the term “childhood amnesia” to describe this loss of memory from the infant years. (I borrowed this from Google grin). We have a few rare exceptions like I mentioned earlier. These rare few remember back to the very first moment they opened their eyes after being expelled from the comforting warmth of their mother's womb.

I agree with the aforementioned research submission on the beginning of most people's memories because mine goes thus-

I am sitting down, holding my older sister's hand. I am wearing a white sleeveless blouse and an itty bitty, slightly faded flower blue skirt(in retrospect it must have belonged to my older sister and that explains why the colour was fading).The skirt is really short and I have to sit down with my legs tightly closed (thank God pedophilia wasn't as rampant as it is now).

I and my sister are sitting down on a low bench, in a courtyard facing a brown painted bungalow with a verandah. Flowerless green plants are in front of the bungalow. There is an old man wearing a white, knee length babariga and white trousers sitting in the verandah. Before him is a bowl of eba and ogbono soup which he is eating with such relish. I stare, fascinated at the man's Adam apple as it bobs up each time a ball of eba goes down.

My sister leans over and whispers in my ear "Ishi, don't look at him o. There is ant in his soup. He is eating eba, ant and soup."

I am horrified. I gasp in disgust and avert my eyes.


Decades later, my sister has no memory of this event but after I described the house and the courtyard to my mum, she recognised it as the very first house we lived in when we first moved to Lagos (I was 8 months old at the time). She remembered the old man. He was our neighbour. She also recalled threatening to beat the bejesus out of my sister if she ever let me out of her sight, which is why big sis was my shadow. It also explains why she was holding my hand tightly in that memory of long ago when I was 2 and a half years old, watching my neighbor swallow huge balls of eba and supposedly ant tainted ogbono soup.



And THIS, folks, is my earliest memory! cheesy Everything that happened to me prior to this is a total blank.

What's yours?

My stepmum giving me a slap and me shouting WAKA!

And with my 5 fingers too...

Probably @3 years

Arsenalholic:
I really wish Nigerian fans will tone down the bragging. Just allow the boys get to it and give it their best shot

One thing is crystal clear: this South African team is MILES better than the one we walloped in 2004. Plus our team is weaker compared to the SE team of 2004.

I was in awe watching the Bafana Bafana against Egypt. It was easily the most interesting game I'VE WATCHED at the tournament yet. They PRESSED Egypt and played some intricate, top-notch pass and move game. That was nice to see.

I hope our coach finally gets the memo and unleash our new golden boy, Chukwueze from the get-go. Just as Percy Tau will occupy Aina, I would like Chukwueze to occupy that Lanthi guy in RSA's "3" position.

Egypt were complacent tactically.

Any coach worth his pay should know that they ought to starve South Africa space to run about.

Reboot in this sense means they are keeping alive the SHAFT franchise.

Have you seen the 2019 story before? When was it made?

Give me a link to download.

Ummn, nope. It's half reboot/half sequel. The only connection 2001 version has with 2019 is Samuel L. Jackson. Even the 2001 Shaft is half reboot/half sequel of another Shaft movie.

Not a reboot.

It is a continuation.

That would mean I have to watch the 2001 movie before the 2019, or is it the kind of movie one can pick off from the sequel and still understand it?

You don't have to, but I recommend you do first.

It's a premise to the 2019 version.

KingAzubuike:

That's it bro.. I've been a victim of something close before so I know what I'm saying. Mine happened at my place of work. There was this lady who was fond of talking dirty things and saying thrash. A day like that rain was falling then she was like "this weather is for two o". Jokingly I told her I was available to make it a weather for two for her. She even laughed about it. 3 weeks later we had a disagreement over some missing documents which led to us not talking for days and could you believe she flashed back to the " weather for two" stuff and started telling my colleagues I was making sexual advances at her and wanted to sleep with her? ..I was so dumbfounded and shocked.

Today I've left.the job since more than 10 years now and a successful entrepreneur. I'm sure if she has the chance to prey on me again she will. After the devil, women comes next. It takes a whole lot to deceive Adam and condemn him just by manipulating him to eat a forbidden fruit.

Off point.

How is this related to the issue at hand?

Sometimes I watch actors engage in really erotic movie scenes and I wonder how they hide their boners on set. embarassed

I mean I'd be totally embarrassed. I know definitely that some of those actors get huge boners from those nude sex scenes but how do they handle it in front of lights, cameras, directors, make-up artists, cleaners, and colleagues?

If I were an actor involved in a sex scene, I'd ask for a private filming tbh. grin

I can tell you for free that "boners" rarely happen even while grinding on set.

But when it does happen, nothing awkward at all. Everyone laughs about it and moves on.

Perfectly natural body response to stimulus.

Embarrasement is for teenagers and virgins....

You will pay the agents the amount you agreed with your principal agent, then he has to share it with all other agents. what ever structure you have built on your land will be calculated by you and you build it into the amount you are charging the buyer

This is ambiguous.

There should be standard to follow.

Industry rates and all.
Properties / Who Pays The Agent? by Unionised(m): 3:59pm On Jun 12, 2019
I have a land for sale.
I approached an agent in my area - Oke Aro, ogun/lagos.

When a buyer comes

1. Who pays my agent and what rate?

2. If its another agent that brings a buyer to my agent, who pays that agent? What rate? And in this case, both agents get paid? And what rate?

3. Aside from price of land, I built a concrete wall to block off water from heavy rain fall. Do I factor that into the cost of land? Or ask for a separate payment?

4. Do I settle omo onile?

5. Any other fees to charge the buyer?

Thank you in advance
