When a guy expressing love must always go to some unknown dingy boutique wit his date to buy clothes.

When a guy taking a chick out on a date means taking her to EAT FOOD at a restaurant, is that all a date can be?

When an obviously twenty-something year old fresh faced guy with white chalk and powder in his hair and moustache is used to act the part of a very old man

When the only sign of a very serious sickness is coughing!

Where the sound track for serious suspense is used for something as simple as someone refusing to eat food offered

When cultist are always overzealous and not more than 6-8 in the entire group and always moving together and fighting over one girl with the main character

Naija films R IQ retardants

1 unnecessary scenes all through half of the movie. For example, peeps will be watching tv in a certian scene, and that scene will go on for upto 30 minutes without a word utter. A bloody waste of time and money.

2 The hero is usually fighting for his lover. Either by going against his parents, fighting other guys, or killing himself. There is rarely a movie where the hero is willing to die for his country you know a freedom fighter or something.

3 Someone will get slapped in the introduction, the interval, and right before the credit is rolled.

4 When you watched part 1,2,3, and 4 and still don't get what the fu ck u just watched.

5 When there is no serious story line. They can make a movie out of something simple as boy meet girl on tthe street, fall in love two days later they fall in love and live happily ever after.

6 Only stoopid foolish retraded love story lines. You will never see something meaninful like a true life inspired story, stories about freedom fighters, or some good educative story lines like I am sam, My name is Khan, Rain man, taare zameen par, the pursuit of happiness, remember the titans and so on. But you sure will see stories like girl falling in love with poor guy, family disapproves because they are some goldding mothafuckers, and then they waste your time from part 1 to part 4 of people getting slapped, people watching tv for 30 minutes, women been totally over dressed in the house, and going to bed with make up on combined with their stoopid horrific and terrible kissing/sex scenes. Very entertaining.

You know its a Nigerian movie when you see titles like: Husband-snatcher 1&2, El classico, Our husband has gone mad again 1&2. When any struggling man/woman from the village leaves for Lagos this evening and comes back the next day with a Hummer..lolz! When church scenes are often filled with people praying like mad men and women.

When the actor is forcing himself to cry, but you know he's actually laughing.

.....a doctor shakes his head forlornly at the patient, saying "madam, we've tried our possible best. I'd advice you try the prayer houses/ native doctors!"

.... a person who faints and is resuscitated in the hospital asks the doctor and nurses "Where am I?"
