Onlinegist: TO KILL A MONKEY: Great Film, But I Have Reservations. After all the hype and well deserved applause for "To Kill a Monkey", I still have some reservations. Yes, the movie was great, from the acting to the cinematography, but certain aspects of the storyline lost touch with reality.
First off, the character "Teacher" was unnecessary. He contributed nothing meaningful to the plot. The whole fight between Teacher and Oboz felt forced, especially Efe’s involvement. Efe had no connection to Teacher, yet the script tried to insert him into a conflict that wasn’t his. That angle was weak.
Secondly, Efe was portrayed as a tech expert and developer, yet he came off as dull. How can someone with the skills to build such a powerful app be that broke and clueless? No real life developer with that level of innovation would still be that hungry and wrecked.
Thirdly, Oboz didn’t embody the traits of a real mafia boss. He bragged too much, talked loosely, and chased women without class. True underworld leaders move in silence, protect their presence, and don’t get disrespected by women like Amanda in front of their boys.
Letting Efe into the inner circle without proper initiation (vetting) only confirmed how unserious Oboz was. Efe asking Oboz, who owned the structure, for 50% just so he could sit back and collect money was peak greed and entitlement. That was an obvious red flag that Oboz was too blind to see, simply because he himself is an idiot.
Efe’s wife, Nosa, in my opinion, did nothing wrong. Yes, she messed up and lost herself when the illegal money finally came, but she wasn’t the problem, Efe was. He lacked principles and backbone. A woman cannot push a man of integrity into crime. And let’s be honest, 90% of women would do exactly what Nosa did if they saw that opportunity. Her reaction was predictable; Efe’s weakness was the real problem.
Lest I forget, they didn’t condemn the crime in the movie, they ended it like it was just another way to make it. That kind of ending sends a subtle message that crime is a normal or valid route to wealth. And honestly, as much as that’s a flawed message, it also reflects reality. Many of the richest people in the world today didn't exactly take the clean path to success. Still, a film with this kind of reach should’ve done more to spark reflection, not validation.
So while To Kill a Monkey was a great production, the character arcs and certain plot decisions needed more realism and depth. These small flaws kept it from being a truly unforgettable masterpiece.
If I should rate the movie, I would say 7/10, not because it wasn't entertaining, but because certain parts lacked depth, realism, and proper character development.
Maxymilliano: If Tinubu could turn the country in a destructive direction in just 2 years, then a whole 4 years should be enough to redirect the country's path to the right direction.
Tinubu could turn the country in a destructive direction?
epainos: Looks like you sre right. Power is the area OBJ messed up bug time. He had good intentions, but he just couldn't do it well. And no one could. Yaradua did not have the opportunity to stay long, and Jonathan was just good for nothing. I still wonder why people praise that failure called Jonathan. I don't really like Buhari's tenure, but it really seems he laid a good foundation for power that Tinubu is working on. Not quite sure this is accurate, but Tinubu is actually trying in this area. Power is a bit stable now.
Improved power is one area thay people are not talking about. Tinubu came as an unpopular president with radical policies.
So all his good policies are being met with verse resistance and criticism.
Unpopular candidate will have to pursue a populist policy for him to be loved.
JAWBONE: That was done during Buhari's tenure. Also Federal Government still has responsibility to provide electricity. The government still controls part of the process of electricity production
Its obvious you have not be following the news!
Or probably you don't know the meaning of concurrent list.
pman06: I've seen a lady say it's a turn off for her. Just strange what some people take serious in this life.
It's supposed to be a turn on.Its hallmark of masculinity. .....Men with it may hardly experience erectile dysfunction. Erection happens when veins maintains circulation in the penis
wonder233: Politicians transitioning to royalty. I don't know how that makes me feel. That is why the Benin Monarchy has more respect than a lot of these others. The monarchy is bloodline, not ruling houses. This eliminates the possibility of political interference and hijack.
Single sense,you didn't make
So..no Benin royals can become governor? Benin people and grandiose delusions
In Ibadan ,all indigens are prince,ROYAL BLOOD LINE is not restricted to a group of families.
Itaekuson3: FULANI PLOT TO TAKE POWER FROM THE SOUTH LEAKS IN LIVE STREAM — HAUSA WHISTLEBLOWER EXPOSES ALL!
In this video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE-XgEdoap8 something very shocking just leaked during a live session with Magnus Oraka — and honestly, it might shake up Nigeria’s political scene if people are really listening.
So here’s what happened...
Magnus was hosting a live session, and during a heated debate, two Fulani men and one bold Hausa man joined the conversation. At first, they were just talking politics as usual — Peter Obi, the so-called coalition, nothing unusual. But then... things took a sharp turn.
The Hausa man dropped a bombshell. He said the so-called coalition forming right now isn’t just politics as usual — it’s a Fulani coalition. Yes — a full-blown Fulani alliance with one mission: take power back from the South and return it to the North.
Magnus himself admitted he was shocked. He quickly started thinking of names involved — Aregbesola, Malami, Atiku, El-Rufai... and even Peter Obi. The more he thought about it, the more it started to make sense.
But here’s the real shocker...
The Hausa man revealed that Tinubu outplayed the Fulani elite. He said the Fulani are angry — very angry — because a Yoruba man used the same political tricks they thought they had mastered for years, and beat them at their own game.
Now, according to this insider, the Fulani power bloc is moving fast — not to fix Nigeria, not to bring change, but to silently snatch control back from the Yoruba South before Tinubu’s influence fully settles.
This isn’t just politics anymore, guys — it’s a quiet power war, and it’s happening right under our noses.
Guys, I’ll let you watch this video for yourself so you can see exactly what I’m talking about. Also don't forget to like, share and subscribe to this channel if you haven't already done so. Take a look guys, and remember to share your thoughts after watching.
ElSudani: Are you listening to yourself? The economy is spiraling downward while the stock market doing is well? Why are some of you allergic to good news?
Benefits of deregulation of power generation at play there.
May God bless PBAT
I justwish they create awareness to let the people know that its no longer the exclusive responsibility of the FG to provide electricity for them but their GOVERNORS
Tjra: El-Rufai, Deno Melaye, Babachir Lawal, Lauretta Onochie, Aregbesola, and co are now the leaders of Obidients.
I would never have imagined someone call El-rufai a better Politician amongst others in my lifetime.
RIP to the innocent lives taken in Southern Kaduna.
Very interesting times we live in.
They have started using the same sponge they used to bath Peter OBI to bath his colleagues in the structure of criminality.
Lines like "He is a lesser evil "....It is no longer "he is a lesser evil"...but "THEY are lesser eveil" ...when they fail to give PO ticket they will return to "He is a lesser evil"
TimeManager: Enemies of Nigeria will continue to lose. God bless Iyanya, God bless the elderly nurse, God bless patriotic Nigerians and God bless Nigeria.
-Kiss the truth!
The enemies of Nigeria are Atiku,Tinubu,Peter OBI,the nurse herself..not the Nurses mocking her.
The Nurse is sabotaging the effort of the other Nurses to make sure the government do the right thing!
Gentledove2001: This man is part of Nigeria's problem someone who has no business outside politics, flaunting exotic cars and making noise online.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nigerians have short memories. The focus is on removing the current government, but what happens after that? Will we replace them with the likes of Dino, Mark, Peter Obi, El-Rufai, Atiku, etc.? Aren’t these same people part of the problem? We keep rebranding the same nonsense just like when Amaechi claimed he was hungry and the usual noise-makers believed him.
I like your post immediately you included Peter OBI. Believing that the packaged fraud is different is the height of hypocrisy and poor intelligence.
Tjra: "And the Lord threw all his enemies into confusion"
Congratulations on your re-election President Tinubu.
The Okon of Akwa Ibom also fail to recognize that the presidential project of Peter OBI is doomed to fail too without coalition. Even if coalition gives him ticket,he will loose before 11am on the election day
grandsuccess: That's your stand sir and its ok by me.
But you see that my comment up there is totally my stand and that of many other hardcore obi supporters (Who are super numerious and they are not part of any stupid obidients).
Note: I am not an Obidient. naaa!! far from it. But the fact is, i don't think there is any so-called obidient supporter that is as hardcore as i am on supporting obi. The thing is i support him based on what i believe he can achieve if given the presidency.
Therefor if he accepts to vice anyone, how then will he achieve those things - never! oh! you are banking on Atiku ruling for just one term and handover to obi?? That will be the biggest joke of the century!
If Obi vices Atiku, Atiku will use him to win the Presidency, then drop him and take another person for his second term! And after his second term, he will still not support obi to succeed him.
THE BEST OPTION FOR OBI IS TO GO FOR THE PRESIDENCY ON HIS OWN TERMS - THAT IS AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OR FORGET EVER RULING THIS COUNTRY.
Mention one of those things you think he will be able to achieve?
Meanwhile,everything you wrote their makes you an OBIDIENT 😆
LordviccoDaGuru: Take a close look at this, I will look for this girl myself and take her to channels tv news station and the world will know the full details of what she's talking about.
His people actually silent him and OSENI RUFAI and Co failed to probe further
