Hei how did we forget this? When the heroine's father is always very wealthy, most likely to be Olu Jacobs and they live in a mansion with lot of maids, yet they never show Olu Jacob at work and we do not know how he makes those millions coz he's always at home monitoring whom his daughter is dating!

You have to reduce the volume for the soundtrack and increase it to hear what the actors are saying.
so you have to hold onto your remote control.

When you can see the camera mans reflection in a mirror.
When you always have to have a remote in your hands to reduce and increase the volume because of the shouting matches.
When someones wife gives birth and the doctor tells the father that its a "bouncing baby boy".
When the actresses dress like they are going clubbing when they are just going to visit someone.

My sister this is a plague in the entire television industry. Very embarassing. Even my regular morning dose of hypertension 'Focus Nigeria' on AIT, the volume keeps oscillating almost with every change of camera angle. You have to hold the RC while you work.

You know it's a Nigerian movie when there is a robbery scene and the robbers are firing bullets on the air and people are still close watching.....When also there is a car crash and the car is devoid of scratch and the next scene the victim is costumed like someone who survived a bomb last. The list is exhaustive anyway.
