Looks like an alien invasion movie

Georgia armani.

The word legendary really applies here.

That's a name everyone knows even without knowing the man himself.

He has had his turn. May he RIP.

Who employs a 71 year old in Nigeria, the suffering and hard times over the years would have broken the person at that age

Dem dey plenty. Both government and private.

omoadeleye:
Lol. Their problem, i also have my problem, i don't have time to wasting my pity on some useless mofos.


No be today girls dey chop guys face after school

I have a late uncle who this happened to in the early 80s. There's really nothing new under the sun.

Why would a man train a woman in school. If it were me and I was love struck ill still marry her and she'll drop 1 or 2 before going to school. If she cannot agree then let me sink like Jack quietly

This shouldn't happen
Ontop how much.

There dragging car that they don't have. Almost like demons.

One of them gone. I hope he has a family he's left behind.

Who has seen lift? It stars Kevin Hart. Oyaskii, pu7pl3, armadeo

Saw it some time back. Low average at best. Kevin trying to be serious wasn't just his thing.

Ikumapkayi:
I[b] am happy they are cancelling the visas. I honestly don't know what you people are looking for in the US. [/b]Why can't you people sit down in your country. What is the craze about US. They have enough of their own challenges.

Read that again.

You don't know so therefore they should be rejected.

It's like saying I don't like football therefore nobody should play match again.

Ofunaofu:
And the shaméléss Minister of Interior, Tunji-Ojo who committed the same offense Betta Edu was sacked for, and who should be serving jail time had the audacity to go on national TV and justify the second passport fee hike in a year by claiming it was to improve service delivery, reduce corruption, and speed up processing.

The same excuses he gave when the fees were first increased in 2024 one year later, he’s repeating the exact same thing

Dem.go still nack am go up before march or sept next year. Watch and see.

What is there to understand about your self centred mindset?

Are your senators as productive as expected, in lawmaking and oversight functions of the executive branch, to warrant being paid multiple times more than lecturers?

Are your own LGA councillors as productive as expected, in lawmaking and oversight functions of the LGA chairman, to warrant being paid multiple times more than teachers in primary schools that educate every single child free?

That your own post you quoted is so beautiful. This thread has only cemented the opinion I have on a majority of Nigerians.

The innate cerebral capacity is quite below par as expected. I'm reading some comments with utter shock that an individual(s) can actually think in such pattern in 2025.

Sad

Nah! Naija will definitely get better soon. We just have to win a few very tough battles and never allow ourselves to be caught lacking again

On a more serious note..... If the government is actually serious about it, we could actually build this F1 and associated motorsports infrastructure in Abuja in 6-7yrs. That's accounting for our delay and bureaucracy and maybe financing.

I'd like the govt to make such an undertaking personally....but the problem is some peeps will actually come with the argument of "is it necessary?" "Is this a priority?". All I can say is that such events like this comes with some level of prestige and helps to build Nigeria's image overseas and in the long run a driver of tourism and bringing foreign exchange to the economy and community hosting such events and the world exposure.

Projects like this goes a long way in shaping a country's economy and tourism sector especially if we're serious about diversification.
Most times, it's not in the NOW but what the FUTURE holds.

Successfully hosting it and maintaining an annual premium Motorsport event has so much benefits...

The aviation sector would benefit from the traffic and international attraction, hotels and hospitality business thrives, local economy and residents benefits, good infrastructure is sure to be deployed and maintained in the hosting community and most importantly international prestige.

It goes a long way in helping our citizens overseas and the public perception of the country. We that are within the country and probably don't have any immediate plans of travelling outside the country might see it as a white elephant project with no socioeconomic grassroots impact, but it's the diasporans who would actually benefit more from the prestige and clout and image building it renders to the citizens.

Na events like this some countries with vision dey fight to host. Regardless of the high cost of initial investment outlay. These are easy revenue generating and tourism boosting undertakings that put your country on the global map. Especially for a country like Nigeria that isn't necessarily a decent tourism hotspot (despite the immense potential).
We don't have the luxury them Seychelles, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania etc enjoy with their natural wildlife and nature & choice locations and cultural history.

Man-made events such as this are easier ways to leapfrog and bypass geographical barriers and tourism handicaps.
Reason why Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia wan kill themselves untop who fit build the biggest and baddest infrastructure known to man and fighting tooth and nail to host world sporting events like The World Cup, Olympics etc.

Na we for Africa dey dull....

Anyways sha....na my musings be that. Either way let's see whether this govt is actually serious about it. Cos even tiny Rwanda is actually planning to host the first F1 in Africa since SA stopped hosting it decades ago. They're also starting from scratch....we can beat them to it. Our population and economy is a better easier sell.

The logic is sound but the reality disagrees.

Nigeria will never ever make it work. We will ruin the country trying this out. Even if we block corruption and overinflation of the entire project.

There are no systems on ground to support such an event. E.g constant power , solid road infrastructure. Even the event location might be looted or subpar equipment involved.

Maintained would wreck the tracks if we even succeed in building it in the first place.


I can see the potential and benefits but being who we are we can not get it done.

So the hype wey dem Jennifer Lopez and co don dey build for am na sham? 😭😭

And I don dey warm up to am make I see wetin dey happen.

It's 2 very different men in a priosn cell who develop feeling's for each other over time.

In summary.

It's that time of the year— Awards season!!

Looking at the year's current frontrunners...I'm hyped what this year has to offer. Last year was good, but can this year be better?

Anyways, I've gotten a good list to sink my teeth into the year's crème de la crème of Cinema.

Kiss of the spider woman. A remake. Read about the first one of the 80s.

I think I'll skip this one also.

Efuaye:
This officer has just added himself to internet memes with this “I swear to god pose”.

Believe this, you'll believe anything

James hardley chase.

Hmmm. This man should rest. They shouldn't use him to clean ground whem the destruction has taken place.

F1: The Movie (2025)


“Hope is not a strategy… drive fast.”

When Apple and WB team up on a movie, you don’t need a prophet to tell you the production value is going to be top-tier and that’s exactly what this was. The visuals were stunning, the sound design was superb, and overall it made for a very enjoyable viewing experience.

The plot, however, was largely predictable. It borrowed heavily from previous motor-racing films, the classic old head vs. young head, stubborn rivals pushing each other to the limits trope, seen in Rush (2013) and Ford v Ferrari (2019). The difference is, those films were based on historical events, while this was purely fictional. That should have given the creators enough room to try something new and make it truly stand out in the racing genre, but they played it safe.

[b]Brad Pitt shines, as always, carrying much of the film's finest moments almost single-handedly. [/b]The rest of the cast also delivered solid performances, but Pitt’s presence is what really elevates the whole thing

Now, on the production side, I can’t overstate how impressive it was. They went above and beyond to make it feel authentic shooting on actual F1 circuits, incorporating real F1 drivers into the footage, and blending it all seamlessly into the narrative. That said, there is a reason why F1 nerds are eating it up (which I am), you’ll notice plenty of continuity errors and technical details that just wouldn’t hold up in a real race.

But here’s the thing, I didn’t come to see an actual Formula One race!. I came to see a movie, one that just happens to be about Formula One. And on that front, it delivered.

Factually accurate? Absolutely not.
Entertaining? 101%.

7/10

It's all just noise

If its not for the money then why?

Lovely quotes.


Watched it last night. Pitt carried that movie. The rest of the cast did well also.

The movie is a trope that has been seen many times before the older guy butting heads with the younger guy and then the younger learns from the older and becomes like him.

However it was out in a movie that's pure adrenaline pumping. The commentators giving you freedom back like it's live. The racing aspects unwatched over and over again to see the finer points.

It's was well worth it's time and lived up to the hype.

P.s its pitts highest grossing movie of his career

Silentgroper:
All the money wey him be they dash out ..



How you think say him dey fund am


This one is just dumb .. He is killing two bird with one stone

Creeping quietly silently groping.


This your moniker sha. Its makes me laugh everytime.

rapheal5:
what happened to them before they were favored by God.

Nothing happened.

David was the last born of his father. He wasn't an outcast. Nothing spectacular happened.

Joseph was the first child of the woman Jacob really loved. So he also wasn't an outcast.

King2305:
Poverty na bastard.

Una don ever hear of any big man pikin accused of witchcraft? Even if na i.m.b.e.c.i.l.e rich man born, na still star boy.

E no go better for Poverty

You've said it all. I just thought rich man no dey ever born winch na only poor man dey born winch.

rapheal5:
I wasn't referring to Paternity fraud as the topic stated, I'm actually talking about outcast people like David, Joseph and others.

What made them outcast?

Those 2 you mentioned were highly favoured by God and men later in life.

Joseph ke!!. Coat of many colors, 2nd in command to pharoh.

David King of the isrealites.

Both had trials die to jealousy from men. Saul against David and Joseph's brothers and potiphars wife against Joseph.

They were never outcasts

Lana1:
I've seen enough ass cheeks to last me a lifetime in this Chief of War

I swear.

Uncle ruckus ( no relation) would swear for this guy

Proudlyngwa:
And the tradition continues in my family

I even inherit my papa kaikai cup

Lol. That cup has more value to you than anyone knows. People will wonder why you treasure the cup.

I am currently watching how to train your dragon. I've had this for a while but decided to watch it after stumbling on the score by hans zimmer for the first one.

It's epic so far

Flawed.

Only because the examination is based on knowledge and not age.

A 15 Yr old scores higher than 20 year old in jamb and waec but you say he's too young to be admitted despite showing his knowledge base.

Lol. That's laughable.

pu7pl3:
Oh shit, here we go again..

I knew it would come.


Back to topic

Chief of war has a good premise but I don't see it going beyond a 2nd season maybe.

Foundation season 3 brother Dawn looking sharp and prepared. I liked when the image viewing of brother dusk tried to run and demerzel turned him round and pushed him back to the afterlife. Lol

Foundation is really a good show. Currently on ep 2.

In other news twisted metal has some episodes out.

Double bill.

Superman. Just there was hyped and cannonly say for the culture. It was an average movie nothing spectacular and quite underwhelming to be honest.


Jurassic Park. This one no follow at all. That alien looking hybrid dinosaur was changing sizes during the movie.

The boyfriend was annoying


As a matter of fact everyone had their cliche role to play.

Battle hardened leader
Trusted side kick who we all thought would die and survived.
Annoying merc whom I knew would be the first to die
Couple of other casts that were simply there for Dino food.


The family man usual father having a hectic time with the kids
Oversaw daughter with annoying disrespectful boyfriend
Young child with no send preservation

Routine movie thank God it was data and at my pace. 4/10

zanshi:

uche393:
I don't give shishi, i only give people who put efforts. most times when we give. we feel relived and think you have done good.....not knowing you have wasted your effort.
People who need help and want to survive are found in hospitals, prisons and elderly ones we see in the market that doesn't sell items worth up to 5k not street beggars, you cant change their lives.

You're right. Met some guys some time ago that usually travel to and from lagos. They always stopped at ore to eat and they always saw one woman begging with her kids.

After a while they decided to raise small funds for her to build small kiosk at ore there and in selling things which she did. Not upto 2 months later the kiosk vanished and she was back to the begging.

It was too much work for her. Majority of them are just plain lazy.

pocohantas:
I saw a beggar trying to give a fruit vendor change. He raised his jalabia and brought out plenty money from a pouch tied to his waist. After that he continued begging.

That was the last time I gave a beggar money.

Some time ago I saw one produce change for bus conductor from his shoe. All those guys with bad leg and rolling on some make shift boards with wheels.

That was the last time I gave a beggar on the street funds.

I was shocked

spiceadole:
Let MDCN pay houseofficers' July salary.
