Just look at the amount of blood on the ground!

Imagine the amount of dehumanizing and horrific torture he was put through prior to being burnt!

What does that tell you about the heart of an average Nigerian?!!

How are we different from Fulani herdsmen and the terrorists up North?!!

Magnoliaa:
I am just reading this well.

I been think say you classed EB as being amongst the nonsense movies.

And see, you're spot on with the analysis.


I don't know maybe it's because people have been telling them to emulate Hollywood, that is why there are literally going to bring other cultures and realities to replace our own here.

When we say "copy Hollywood", we are not saying in terms of stories.

I don't even need anything deep or fantastical, just give me something simplistically Naija.

While the old Nollywood had some fairly reasonable stories but lack a great cinematography, these new ones now have that, but lack stories.

Original stories.

You see that part in bold, that's all!!!

Improve the filming process (Cinematography) but quit fvcking around with the originality of our Naija stories!

How can this be too hard to understand?!! Shiorrr!

folake4u:
Yes. It usually pays off for them in the long run.

One interesting way I rate their movies is by going to the Wikipedia page and check how much money they invested in the movie and also see if their profits matched their investments. I also check how well the movies faired in the Box Office in Asia, America and Europe.

EVERYTHING is rush for us. It is very annoying. They want to maximize quick profits at the expense of quality.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you say?? 4 movies in a week? Are you serious right now? That's interesting.

I kid you not!

One camera and a few clothes, and they are good to go.

I hear some are even shot with camera phones.

Magnoliaa:
Although, the kind of story being told too will determine the length of filming.

Something taking only a short time doesn't have to be rushed, and that's okay.

I agree totally!

But, 4 movies in a week?!! Come now!

My high school play of back in day of just 20 minutes took at least a month to fully prepare for!

Well, maga has to fall by all means!

One wealthy mumu man has to lower his already fallen standards and wife her.

The intention is quite obvious!

folake4u:
I see.

But asides them rushing their script writing, they also need to hire qualified script writers. For real.

Yes, that is true about Hollywood movies. Even though they take up to 10years to complete their movie, it doesn't mean the movie will be a huge success though. It could either be a huge flop or success.

This is true... That's life, but most of the time it pays off big for them.

Nigerians just never take the time to do proper preparations. Everything is always a rush for us.

Look at the other terrible part of Nollywood! The one we call "Asaba Movies"! Where you have actors filming up to 4 movies in a week! Like WTF!!!

folake4u:
Despite all the hype with Shanty Town, I didn't watch it.😂😂😂

Shanty town started quite well but lost their way after the first episode! The story/plot was just too thin to keep up!

They need to quit rushing their script writing! It always shows in the quality and outcome of their movies!

Movies like Black Panther and Lord of the rings, the writing can take as long as 10 years to complete... Even after, editing and improving can take further 6 months to 2 years before they begin filming!

Even casting can take them years too!

Xigg:
Nigeria movie not always instresting

Highly disagree!

Elevator Baby
October 1
'76
The Figurine
Omo Ghetto
Wedding Party

Were all awesome and worth their production efforts.

I think it always goes wrong when producers and directors try to imitate what has already been done by Hollywood!

I know it never ends well with Indian movies too!

Action flicks are not bad... But, we should stay natural and steep it into our African and Nigerian cultures.

Ayomide002:
Wasted 2hrs watching the movie

E no worth the hype one bit

Sigh... This is what I'm talking about.

So many movie professionals that I know really slammed the flick.

Where do we keep getting it wrong?!!

Wedding Party, Omo Ghetto, Elevator Baby, October 1, etc, were able to pull it off... They did by keeping things original and simple in the Naija way!

When you try to go overboard, you better have the strong story, directing and stunt organization to pull it off!

Even all these Indian action movies don't seem to also get it!

It's not just about copying and pasting! Give the movie roles serious life! Haba!!

Maybe I will just pass after all! SMH!

hammerT:
THAT IS JUST IT, IN AS MUCH AS THEY ARE LEAVEING, IF NIGERIA TAKE A CHUNK OF THAT OIL MONEY THEY LOOT TO SWISS ACCOUNT AND TINUBU IS SHARING TO INVEST IN HEALTH SECTOR, ALOT OF THE DOCTORS WILL RETURN.


AS OF TODAY, NIGERIA SHOULD JUST LEAVE THE HEALTH WORKERS ALONE TO FIND THEIR WAY.


SINCE WE PREFER TO DIE FOR BUHARI AND TINUBU ELECTION,.


USELESS PEOPLE!

Thank you!

Please, loud it to the fake ass Patriots with their hypocrisy of always demanding that citizens stay back but can never voice out against their leaders constantly traveling out for minor health checks.

The current President elect can't even use a single hospital in the Lagos he brags about!

That's how messed up things are!

Tobi Bakre tried in Brotherhood (even better than Falz and others)!

Still, this movie will just be another repetition of what he did in Brotherhood (I hope he was able to change things up like great method actors do)!

Adesua has never seemed to sell with me since Wedding Party, same with her off screen husband! Her acting needs more convincing especially for action roles.


Well, I will take a chance and watch this flick... But, it better not be a slight improvement on Shanty town and Brotherhood, cos that will definitely be a waste of my time!

...And they better not be trying to pull off a Nigerian version of Gangs of London!

It will be unoriginal and just won't work with us fans of the AMC show!

Wodu89:
Work on your comprehension skills


Improve on your reading and comprehension skills.

I said the message is to develop your country. I never directed it to professionals. If I'm one, I won't practice here. You people should learn to read before you respond abeg

Maybe you should take your own advice sir. This was what you submitted below!

Wodu89:
Stay home and develop your country is the message. Honestly the health care sector in Nigeria needs serious work

LivingSage:
God bless them.


You can't be trained in Nigeria almost free of charge (because u paid chicken fee as tuition fee compared to Europe) without paying back to the Country, but using that knowledge to benefit European countries.

Please, what has Nigeria done to the healthcare sector to make it so vibrant and enterprising that these medics won't even think of leaving?!!

Even if you compel them to stay and practice for 5 years, it still won't keep them from taking off soon after. The 5 years won't improve the healthcare sector if proper investment is not done.

Think! Think!! Think!!!

November1857:
UK and others should equally stop the treatment of our corrupts politicians , including the Drug lord, who is currently on medical tourism abroad..

Those English fools will never do such!

These nations like Canada, US, UK, etc, are only good at eye service!

They enjoy the poor leadership and corruption killing Africa! They simply love it!

It makes more money and provides cheap exploitable human capital for their own needs!

A developed and progressive Nigeria or Africa is a taboo to Western nations!

Wodu89:
Stay home and develop your country is the message. Honestly the health care sector in Nigeria needs serious work

They should stay home and do what exactly?!!

They should buy x-ray equipment for their hospitals?!!
Provide uninterrupted power supply?!!
They should provide security?!!
They should create the enabling environment for medical research?!!

They should also pay themselves the acceptable and commensurate salaries or wages?!!

You think doctors and nurses just wake up and decide to leave Nigeria in numbers because they are bored or enjoy being called second class citizens in colonial and opportunistic nations like England?!!

Are the doctors to fix this nation or those embezzling money meant for social services?!

While people are taking INEC to the sword for messing up an electoral process, some of you are busy hailing them...!

Now, you want decent people whose voices can't be heard in national growth to stay back with bigoted never-do-wells and build a nation! How can that work?!!

Sigh... I can't believe this topic overtook more serious topics to front page!

Nairaland is finished!

These are preventable and senseless losses!

The lawlessness in this nation from top to bottom is almost satanic and diabolical!

From road users to airport staff down to security operatives... No one seems concerned about upholding simple laws and obeying rules.

How can a trailer be driving against traffic in a road with limited space for maneuver?!! Is that not psychopathy?!!

Naajjii:
Yes City will drop points and Arsenal will drop points but Arsenal got 6 points as reserve that will come in handy at the end of the day and will make Arsenal winner.

True... I didn't dispute this. They have been my favorites to win the title.

However, if any between Man City and Arsenal is likely to drop points, it is more than likely Arsenal!

Man City has a shocking team quality and depth compared to them, and have the experience to go the distance...!

Checking their fixtures, City is far more likely to smash their games compared to Arsenal!

Take Liverpool game as a case in point!

Between City and Arsenal, who is currently more likely to drop points against Newcastle, Chelsea, and Brighton?!!

...And technically, Arsenal have a 3 point advantage as City's game in hand is more than likely won by default.

This why I said earlier that they needed to get the 3 point cushion today which they failed to do... Infact, they almost lost everything!

Dropping further points going forward will be terrible... So, they need to be really careful and focused at this point!

City isn't joking around! It won't be the first time they will come from behind to snatch such a trophy.

wayforward2grea:
You don't know football bro. City will drop points or even lose.

Yeah... While Arsenal will win every single game and lift the trophy!

You know football very well sis!

DSS don turn errand boy thugs for politicians!

A whole nation's secret service only arrests and intimidates those speaking against politicians!

They can't arrest or crack down on sponsors of terrorism and banditry!

Nigeria gets more irredeemable by the day!

Kukutenla:
Chukwueze na Chelsea player?
Lol

He don water the ground for Chelsea!

caracas:
If you reason this way then it’s obvious you don’t understand football….

Check your history before you become needlessly condescending...!

How many games were left when City overtook Man United to claim the title?!!

How is Man City's current form compared to Arsenal?!! How did City fare against this same Liverpool even without their star striker?!!

Westerhoffe:
Ain't this too small compared to footballers', knowing they both run same race around the pitch…

Modified: To those quoting me asking which race are they running around the pitch?

Let's be honest, referees run along with the ball.
If they don't then it's not a match they're refereeing.

Normal if they have other businesses or source of income, but still it's still quite low compared to footballers'.

Please, calm down sir!

Players are paid so much because they drive revenue in games from tickets to partnership deals down to betting and streaming or viewing services!

They are the star attractions of every game! The Ballers are the Money, so you pay them to make them pay you even more!

Something called fattening the goose that lays the golden eggs!

They are the real investment!

People don't pump all that insane money into sports just to see the best of officiating (as important as this is)!

Maybe you should equally make a case for Ball boys, security officers, pitch wardens, etc.

That's not bad... Still can be improved upon!

caracas:
I just checked too man city is yet to play
Arsenal
Chelsea
Brighton
Westham…..

City looks more likely to win their fixtures compared to Arsenal!


That's why winning today was nonnegotiable for Arsenal!

Quest7777:
You forgot one of City's rem 9 matches is against Arsenal. So winning all 9 guarantees 1st position with their superior Goal Diff.

Winning all 8 certainly means beating City na! That was literally implied!

That game might just be the title decider of the season if both teams stay winning!

docphresh:
If only harland go get small injury..

Man City is more dangerous without Haaland!

Talk another thing!

City is even helping Haaland more than he is helping them! That's how good Guardiola's teams can be!

Quest7777:
City wins the EPL if they win all their remaining 9 matches.

Nah... Not if Arsenal win their remaining 8!

It's going down to the wire, that's for sure!

AImiron:
EPL and FA cup dey their hands now, they get to decide their fate, just like last season. It feels different now. City can never go trophy less, you can quote me anytime

I'm just hoping dey get lucky in UCL this season, that will be icing on the cake.

Boss... See your overconfidence!

frankson1:
Yeah, and I still blame ETH for the embarrassing lose because he contributed to it.

The thing is, even the FA didn't do Man. U any favours by letting us play 11 games in that month...like.. which teams can do that

True... United has had the most insane fixtures this season!

I guess the world cup contributed.

This is why y'all should try and avoid Thursday night football!

JBoss25:
City has the advantage now

Yeah... Arsenal has more tricky games ahead!

AImiron:
e be like Say na livescores You dey watch Bayern matches, Man City go murder em this week. City has depth playing more matches meaning nothing to em. Just enjoy football, arsenal sef dey try but oga na master.... City nah boss in England. I just pity mumu united in the FA, if Dem reach final they're dead. City go beat daylight out of that silly team.

City can win milestone treble this season. Their fate now in their hands. That's a good feeling.

....City can also go trophyless!

Na the way football dey be sometimes!
