Na just few movie producers for that Nollywood get head, most of them na clowns.

Kunle Afolanyan has gotten lazy, his old movies showed a lot more effort and dedication to craft. Niyi Akinmolayan is another producer I fancy and think he can do real good work if the stars really align. Some classics do come out of Nollywood every now and again sha...76 is probabaly the best Nigerian movie I've seen that was Izu Ojukwu. Phone Swap by Kunle Afolanyan is another classic.

Yeah, phone swap really made sense that year. Like u rightly said, Kunle Afolayan seem to be getting lazier with Netflix funds flying around him.

He also seem to be focusing on his other business interests. His Afefeyeye restaurant, bar, lounge and cinema business are not doing badly at all. I enjoyed myself the last time I was there

No matter how free Ur boss is with u, it's just not possible for u as a gateman to be making jokes with him. Some even go as far as insulting the visitors of their oga while making jokes in the movies.... Some will even bar some visitors from entering because they didn't give them money.

If u try it in real life, u will be sacked without salary. Abi no be this country we dey wey that guy resigned from work and his oga used police to arrest him? 😂

I also have this bias and share your sentiments

As a rule, I only watch "critically acclaimed" Nigerian Cinema and streaming platform movies

Off the top of my head, I liked:

Brotherhood
Gangs of Lagos
Anikulapo
Breath of Life
Funmilayo Ransome Kuti
The Trade
The Figurine
Elevator Baby
4th Republic
Swallow
King of Boys
October 1
Citation
Phone Swap
Offshoot
Afamefuna, A Nwa Boy story
The Wedding Party
King of Boys: The Return of the King
Oloture
Isoken
etc

The above movies may not wow you in comparison to foreign ones but they are good movies, and I commend the effort of the directors and actors

As a rule, I avoid all Nollywood historical epic/war movies.

I also avoid all Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham and AY Makun produced movies.

All the Alakada, Jennifer, Omo Ghetto, Merry Men movies are trash.

Nigerian movies have come a long way but generally they're still far behind American and even Indian movies.

We have a lot in common as regards to avoiding AY, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham and their set movies. In the past I've wasted money in the cinemas watching one or two junk AY produced and called movies ; I regretted it. I also don't find any of Jenifa's act funny. I can predict any Toyin Abraham's movies, so I just pass.

Funny thing is the old epic movies are still good till date. I recently rewtached some of Tunde Kelani's masterpiece ; Saworoide, Tí Olúwa nílé and Oleku. Those movies despite being shot with old cameras, the messages were clear and the actors just did enough to bring their characters to life.

Kunle Afolayan too is trying, I guess he knows some of these new actors and actresses are not just it; he's been casting the veterans in the industry for his new projects and he's not doing too bad. He also just needs to work on his storyline too.

The message was there and pretty clear
Plus the cultural heritage was richly implemented, it’s like you don’t enjoy Yoruba movies

I actually don't like Nollywood movies in general, nit just the Yoruba ones sef.. I don't even know how to explain it but sometimes it just feels the actors and actresses are doing too much interpreting their roles while at times it appears they are not doing just enough.

Sometimes it is the story/plot that is basic and bland while at other times it is the poor continuity that just makes it so easy to poke holes in the entire movie and sequence of scenes.

For example that same seven kingdom, at some point It appears as tho the directors weren't sure of the year/period the series was set. You get to see things that suggest the film was set in the late 20th century but then the original intention was to show the film was probably set in the early part of 20th century/late 19th century.

Then u also see some movies where they just waste time on some dialogue/conversation that adds absolutely nothing to the plot.

I was telling my madam recently while she was watching African magic that some of these movies where they give people like Akpankufor, Òkèlè, Sanyeri, Jigan and co gateman roles and they start making funny conversations with their employers are unnecessary and unrealistic in real life. How many gatemen in real life will be having a conversation with oga or madam and be spending minutes making jokes with them? grin

. E be like say u no like Ur work.

Spy360:
I believe Nwaneri can play RW. He is not afraid to take his man 1v1, he has pace, positional awareness and he is also a good finisher. He can develop himself into an excellent backup player for the two most important attacking players we have in Saka and Odegaard. That would be worth up to 100m in savings for the club.

If it doesn't work out, it's best we make use of the transfer window now. I hear Mbeumo is being talked to. That would be a very good option. These two months Saka would be likely out can make or mar our season.

I think Mbeumo is a good fit for our team if Arteta and the management can go all out to get him. I believe he will be a performer just like Trossard.

I also support Nwaneri trying out the RW position ahead of Havertz and Martinelli that is being suggested by Arteta in the absence of Saka

How good is the Nigerian Netflix series, Seven Doors? Is it worth the hype and a watch?

I watched it and didn't get the wow effect people have been hyping it to have. To me it's not really different from most Yoruba movies that have made it to Netflix or Amazon prime.

Maybe it's because I'm not really a fan of Nigerian movies/series Sha, like they don't give me the same premium entertainment value I do get from foreign movies/series.

Just look at the Jackal series that just finished airing few Weeks ago, the hype was there and then the show lived up to all the hype till the final episode. After the final episode people started debating on the role of different characters, giving opinions on who and what made the show tick and all. No Nigerian series/movie gives u that kinda feeling, not this seven doors. Even the Koreans' K-drama gives u serious taking points to discuss during and after the series.

I think I will always stan Nigerian Music over foreign music any day anytime, but for Nigerian movies ; they have a whole long way to go to get me in their corner

@ GloriousGbola, raumdeuter, BlueRayDick, Ibime, Emaprince, Amoto94 , itsrm
And others that might help.

I want to participate in this quiz competition by my senator to win 50k. Make una help me with some insight and direction.

#TaxReformBills

President Tinubu transmitted four executive bills to the National Assembly. A lot of opinions ensued and a lot of ordinary Nigerians are confused about the true contexts, possibilities and opportunities of these bills.

The bills are:
1. The Nigeria Tax Bill.
2. The Nigeria Tax Administration Bill.
3. The Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Bill.
4. The Joint Revenue Board Establishment Bill.

“How can the northern region strategically leverage their resources and social influence to benefit from President Tinubu’s tax reforms to boost productivity and maximise economic development?”

Hint: Answers must focus on the comparative resource advantages any of the Northern 19 states.

Merry ChrisNatasha H Akpotir Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan

Kogi Central .

I haven't been online, been enjoying the holiday offline with loved ones.

I think here are the best ways of answering the question and making the best out of the quiz:

1. You need to first lay your hands on the 4 bills and read them. Without reading the bills, you won't be able to know what the objectives of the bills are and what the bills seek to achieve either for the north or south, neither will you know whether it favors the rich or the poor.

2. You need to focus on the Nigerian Revenue Service Establishment Bill which I believe aims at generating more revenue for government at various levels through efficient collection system. As much as we flay Tinubu for being a tax master while in Lagos and also continuing same at the federal level, one must acknowledge the fact that he boosted the IGR of Lagos just by having an efficient collection system for taxes, levies and rates.

So I believe he's trying to replicate same with this revenue service establishment thingy. For example the North has various open land boarders that don't really generate much for Nigerian government like we have in the south and yet a lot of import through land boarders go on regularly in the north. The governors of the northern states can partner with FG and it's agencies ( majorly customs and whatever revenue service that is established) to ensure proper import duties and taxes are paid on goods imported through the land boarders littered all over the north.

3. You should also take your time to go through the various posts, interviews and articles Taiwo Oyedele ( The tax committee guy) has done on these tax bills, it will go a long way to broaden ue knowledge about the general advantages of these 4 bills and u can then relate that general knowledge to the peculiarity of the north, it's resources and it's social status.

There's also this guy on LinkedIn ; Nojeem 'Nudge' Yusuf who is a tax expert that has been giving a lot of positive takes about the tax reform bills on his Twitter and LinkedIn pages recently, try and read some of his posts.

I would've loved to help u write much on the question itself but I will be honest with u, I've not had luxury of time to study the 4 bills myself and give my own personal opinion.

I wouldn't really recommend ChatGPT because I've seen it give yeye answers to simple questions in the past.

The south is not the north, over here in the south I have many friends wey be say once Ramadan finish like this ; na Glenfidich, Martell, Hennessey, etc dem dey use chop Sallah meat. How people like that Wan take support Sharia in the south?

We don't even need traditionalists, Christians and atheists to stand against Sharia in the south, the majority of Muslims are already doing that.

Had an accident involving an airforce personnel car ( corrola) and a gov hilux 3 days ago..

Spent ₦220 in fixing both theirs and mine.

Just broke my headlight few mins ago due to hectic traffic....

It could have been worse anyway..... Happy Xmas... Ya'all

Sorry about ur loss bro, but please make it part of Ur new year resolution to have a valid insurance policy for Ur vehicle.

Insurance works in Nigeria(provided u get it from a reputable insurance company or through a registered insurance broker), don't let anybody tell u otherwise.

I know u may think paying 5% of Ur vehicle's value may be a whole lot for u to get comprehensively covered, but insurers now offer products that are third party in nature but offer some benefits of comprehensive coverage for a little extra premium.

A normal third party insurance ( which is compulsory by the way) costs ₦15,000 and provides cover for third party damage up to 3 million naira, provides unlimited but reasonable coverage for medical expenses and death caused to a third party u injure or kill in an accident.

These new products which insurance companies now sell will offer u coverage for damage to Ur vehicle in addition to the third party benefits listed above just for an extra ₦15,000.

So in essence if u pay ₦30,000 annually, u will get the following benefits

1. Up to ₦3,000,000 coverage for any damage u cause to a third party vehicle, if u ram into someone's fence, if u damage a street light, etc..

2. Unlimited but reasonable medical expenses coverage for anybody ( aside from u and ur passengers) u injure in an accident.

3. Unlimited but reasonable death compensation coverage for anybody that died from an accident u are responsible for.

4. ₦500,000 coverage for the repairs of Ur vehicle following an accident involving u and a third party

NB: Some insurers offer as much as ₦750,000 limit for the coverage of Ur own damaged vehicle

If u had this in place as at the time of Ur incident, u wouldn't have gone through this much financial stress in this period. U would've gotten reimbursed by Ur insurer provided u carried them along while sorting the billings out with the third party military and government guys involved in the accident.

As typical Nigerians, we no dey disclose the exact date and time of travel to avoid stories that touch.

One guy in my work place was relocating to Canada and last two weeks Friday was his last day at work. During the mini sendforth that was held for him, some people were shocked that his flight was that same evening and he never mentioned it to them days ahead.

I just laughed at them because I know their anger/surprise is unfounded ; I know they would've acted exact same way if they were in his shoes.

🗣️Les Ferdinand on Bukayo Saka getting injured in the Arsenal vs Palace game: “If there was a perfect time to get injured, it would be now. If he was going to be out for any spell, it would be over this Christmas period.

“You look at the games that they’ve got coming up, no Champions League, gives him a bit of time to rest, we talk about players playing loads of games, I think he hasn’t had a period where he’s been out for any length of time.

“I think if he’s out for a bit of time now, it’ll put them in good stead when it kicks in around January, February time.”

There seems to be sense in what this man is saying.
