No, you don't know what we're talking about 'here'!

He's an artiste actually, but is he as versatile as you portray him to be?

Mind you, we're talking about movies here, his acting prowess should be the most talked about.

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.

You mean an IGBO accent. A Nigerian accent does not exist. Dr. Omalu is Igbo.

I Smell a Biafran!!!

the only nigerian song that can win grammy ward, everybody are feeling it, listen to lean on

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

Nihilist:
Terrible accent.

Don Cheadle can do flawless Cockney but Will Smith cant even be bothered to learn the accent?

Why didnt they just give it to Chiwetal who is BOTH A-List and Igbo?

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

olabode89:


Forest Whitaker is a better and more versatile actor.

Men....you've gotta love him as Idi Amin in the last king of scotland...what a movie!

NOTED...IT IS GOOD

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.

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.

torkaka:


. . . . . . . .bros, the movie is talking about American football (NFL) and not soccer as you erroneously assume

well my bad, all of them join shar :-)

INDUSTRIALFAN:
But that's not how Nigerians talk na.... I wonder why they always conclude all Africans speak like south Africans.....

That is where they visit the most.
You can't blame them for assuming the south african accent is a general african accent.

Hope he gets the accent right. Hollywood lumps all African accents together with that annoying southern African accent.

Hausa Igbo Yoruba re tribes in Nigeria.
u go abroad what dey will use to regconize u is ur country not ur tribe ooo.

chefremy:
he acted as a nigerian,but can never act as how a nigerian would act.

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.

bro it is not as if i agree with what you say, but i like the phrase *pitbull in distress face*, lol, just cracked me up, that part is true shar, but he is still as good as denzel

I tell you.....I saw a video on facebook of an American woman asked on who wants to be a millionaire,of how many states are in Africa with four options of a.2 b.4 c.1 d.52 ..and she chose c.1....with full confidence...I was so shocked that day ehn!

SirBlack999:
Will Smith doesn't look like that in 'Bad boys'.
He's gradually getting old.

1995 till date count the years

Hmmm. Nigeria in the front burners again.... this time for something nice. Great!

Lordave:
You don't know what we're talking about here, do you?

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.

kayo80:


So true. In my book, is more successful in his acting career than Denzel Washington because of this.

Where would you place S.L Jackson.

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

Which Nigerian tribe then? Nasarawa Eggon Nikka or an Ebira Man?

Mopolchi:
good of him. Dat Igbo guy.

he is an american,his passports says so

enomakos:

Yes, I know. But his history is traced to Igbo tribe.

dem dey maaaaddd...... Why can't they do their research,? There's this new movie idris elba starred in. He acted as a Nigerian and he sounded like a typical Nigerian not soo schooled cos he was acting as a militant or sth like that.... The accent was right and spot on..... Them dey crase....

Ramos16:
we are all carried away by the fact that thd movie deals with Nigeria, but the main subject of the movie is football, i believe this movie is americas way of discrediting the real football (soccer) below the american football. The result presented by this omelu scientist is horrible, because if football can cause that to you, then so can boxing, or rugby etc, but they failed to allow us understand that the main cause is the sudden shock caused by the force from the blow of the football, fist or head-butt respectively. They ve only tried to discredit soccer so that people can start looking at american football as a better option.
My view anyway

Total rubbish u just spewed man. U actually meant it the other way round. NFL is National Football League in America which is for American Football or soccer aka Rugby. So u got ur points upside down sir. Please correct urself.
