Before I comment on this matter. I WANT TO SAY THAT CHRISTIAN LIVE MATTER IN THIS FORUM. FIRST I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON WHY IF YOU GO TO RELIGION SECTION AND YOU HAVE A COMMENT TO MAKE ON ISLAMIC TOPIC, YOU WILL BE SUBJECTED TO EITHER ACCEPT OR NOT. WHILE IN CHRISTIAN SIDE NO QUESTION WILL BE ASKED TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST FIRST BEFORE COMMENTING. WHY... WHY

Igbo films too dull...








It's not their calling...








How many of their actresses are millionaires without politicians as their big gods?






I love Yoruba movies. Full of suspense, intrigues, wisdoms, knowledge, actions packed, romantic and educating.
