No I haven’t . What genre is it ?

I think Ibime has limited time in his schedule for movies so if the first 2 or 3 episodes no tap, baba go just carry the remaining series dump for dustbin.

Then he should just be listening to News like our old men o 😁

Those about to die is mediocre when rating Ancient Rome series. Both the storyline and the writing/dialogue are lacking.

The cinematography and CGI are not very good.

Ok watch (if you have nothing else to watch) ? Yes.
Good watch? No.

The problem is u are measuring it with other great Ancient Rome movies . For me I see the storyline as deliberately made different by the writers .

They were able to portray hate , jealousy, scheming , strife , cunningness ,and other human characters without dwelling so much on the physical fights that characterized Ancient Rome movies .

I agree the fight scenes are not all that ( which may likely due to the budget for the movie itself ) , but I am Not really a fan of the fight scenes and shed of blood in Rome movies ; so it’s not a biggie for me.

iamoyindamola:
Ibime no sabi watch film at all
Those about to die is a good watch 7/10
The only issue I have is the first 3 episodes story too plenty they were compiling different characters and stories my head almost burst

I think you should watch it open mind they expect more or less just stay in the middle and stop using rotten tomatoes I prefer IMDb

I stand with u, Nobody should follow Ibime’s mouth here when he criticize movies/TV shows o.

Those about to die is a very good watch; I’m currently on episode 8.

The show may not be on that Spartacus level , but I like the fact that they were real in some aspects . For example , the way Kwame has escaped being killed in the arena , it is real. They didn’t just make him a hero that was favored by providence like was done to Spartacus ; rather he has survived thus far due to either his mum poisoning the drink of his opponent ( who definitely has the ability and training to kill him ) or an emotional emperor saving his asss just to spite his brother .

Las las Ibime go later buy costume and camera begin shoot his own movie/TV series ni

Tinubu should sack Mele Kyari already! There’s another fuel scarcity in Lagos as we speak 🤦‍♂️.

Even NNPC filling stations don’t have fuel . I’ve only managed to see one petrocam filling station selling for now .

Petrocam is selling for #780 per liter .

At least, they should be open about it and stop deceiving subscribers.

They should state their current price and let subscribers decide.

I think NCC stopped them from increasing their prices . So they found a means of self-help for them to stay in business .

I listened to a program on radio last month and the guest was the head of an umbrella body for telecoms operators( can’t recall the exact name the body is called ). The man mentioned it that every other businesses have adjusted their prices in line with current economic reality, but telecos cannot do that without NCC raising eyebrows.

I believe that must be the reason they’ve been doing hanky panky with their data and airtime nowadays

LordAdam16:
Things are happening.

I'm not sure how folks at or below lower middle class are surviving.

-Lord

The truth is a lot of people have resorted to the BBS - Beg, Borrow or Steal. That’s how a lot of people on the lower rung in Nigeria are surviving now .

It’s no longer unusual for you to receive a call from these soft loan companies telling you to tell someone to pay his or loan he has refused to pay. They borrow from different soft loan companies just to feed and don’t have means to pay back.

Then u also have people that will come to u and ask u to lend them money . The money they will obviously not pay back because they don’t have the means to do.

Petty theft and stealing on a large scale has increased recently . Recently I saw a video on social media in which a car owner was lamenting bitterly . He parked his car in front of his compound overnight and it was vandalized . They removed every removable from the vehicle and didn’t stop there . They literally removed the tyres of the Toyota where it was parked . How they were able to pull it off I don’t even know .

Amoto94:
We recently saw how someone was stripped naked over online beef by the police after the person went after his opponent in the said beef but around this part we like playing the ostrich.

So because two adults decide to banter each other , the mod should lock the thread for the rest of us? Which kind logic be that ?

The two people that had beef on twitter , did Elon Musk close down twitter for everybody else because of the two of them ?

[color=royalblue]What is Nigeria's Police affinity with Removing clothes?

It’s just to humiliate u; to bring u down to nothing .

They want u to be humble , all the talks of “ I will deal with u”, “ Do u know who I am ?” that u’ve been mouthing will evaporate from ur mouth .

Not like I support this guy’s arrest nor interested in the subject matter of their discussion o; but I do wonder why do people take online arguments too serious ?

Like why do u feel the need to call someone’s bluff and track him to an address he dropped online in the course of an argument ?

Do people not have fears anymore ? What if the address the guy dropped was a ritualist/kidnappers’ den? What if u get there and they harvest ur organ ?

Person wey carry her hand change her Twitter bio to Iyaloja General of Nigeria even though there's officially no position like that no Sabi wetin she dey do.

I hope we all know what we're doing sha, cause some people clearly know what they're doing and why they're doing what they're doing.

As in... shey u get. Something she did a day after her dad was sworn-in as president of the country o.

The purchase of new presidential jet started as a rumour. We all thought it was a crazy rumour that doesn't make sense in view of the current economic realities in this country.

Today we know better.

larride:
Is there anything like Iyaloja of Nigeria?

The people spreading the rumors know what they are doing, those who are believing it knows what they are doing also.

It's a simple sturvs.

The person that called herself Iyaloja General Nigeria a day after her father was sworn in as President of Nigeria also knows what she's doing.

larride:
Lol.

Of course when there are protest talk ongoing everywhere, suddenly some group of women came out that Tinubu daughter want to impose market leaders on them in far away state and you are telling me there's no smoke without fire.

Then you went ahead to bring her Twitter bio where she called herself the Iyaloja of Nigeria as proof that it might be true.

In the words on the Oasis the Great, We all know what we are doing.

Did she call herself what she's not in the past ? Yes.

Now people in the market space are saying they have information she's making a move that affects their affairs and they are protesting. Now u are dismissing it as if it doesn't matter.

U are the one doing what u are accusing somebody else of. I've never said I believe their allegations or not, u are the one projecting.

larride:
Bros abeg now. I can change my Twitter bio to Governor of Lagos, it doesn't make me Governor of Lagos.

What right does Folashade has or which power does she command in Edo to appoint market leaders for them?

Please dont let out bias to make us believe ridiculous things.

Did I say I believe the allegations against her ?

I just pointed u to an incident that made it to the news . In June 2023 the media space was awash with news that she appointed herself as Iyaloja General Nigeria . That was something she posted herself .

The market women protesting now will have their reasons for doing that . Either it’s a rumor which her detractors brought up or she’s actually making such moves for real.

U cannot say 100% u know what is true or false in this case . It’s only bias (which u are accusing me of ) that will make u dismiss the women’s allegation just like that .

The way this guy take shiiit for church ehn….. 🥵

larride:
Please tell us the authority that Tinubu daughter has to go and appoint market leaders for people in Edo state.

Not Ogun, Not Oyo, not Ondo, not Osun but Edo state.

Anyways believe whatever you want to believe.

Shortly after Tinubu was sworn-in, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo updated her twitter bio from "Iyaloja General of Lagos State" to "Iyaloja General of Nigeria". There was a lot of hues and cries that period and the whole thing died down.

I don't think the Benin Market women will just wake one and half years after and start staging a protest about her trying to impose market leader on them.

This is Nigeria, there is no smoke without fire.

Ellexy:

When I talk the bolded that time, some sycophants called for my head . At least e don Dey clear now

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
2. Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.
3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Tinubu does not become Nigeria president come 2023.

Senator Ajibola Bashiru is APC’s national secretary . He was on Channels yesterday evening and all he was doing was disagreeing with inflation figures published by NBS.

[color=royalblue]That's my fear in all these.

I was coming back to Lagos on Saturday and we saw a village that was having its market day. We parked to get food items

One small plate of tomato was 1500..Inside village.

How many people in that village can afford it?
How many people in towns can afford it?

Nigerians are suffering oh, and God forbid if it happens, nobody will be able to talk to them.

All these "Protest here and don't protest there" na just talk. When e start, mind no gree anybody come out sef.[/color]

I don't support the protest and I hope it doesn't degenerate into something out of hand.

But I find it funny that educated people actually think "Go to your state to protest " is a smart thing to say at this point. I mean these are people whose tax gets remitted to LIRS, people who pay Land use charge to LASG, people who pay tenement rate to their resident LGA in Lagos, people who pay different market levies and council fees to government through their market association, transporters who pay fees and levies to NURTW in Lagos etc.

These people definitely have a right to protest if they feel their taxes, rates and fees are not being utilized by the government as they deem fit.

Instead of ruling class to address the major issue and show they are willing to make sacrifices themselves, they are busy trying to make everything about "Them vs Us" smh

The Oro talk na just scare tactics from mischievous element. Nobody does Oro for 15 days in broad daylight, not even in Oro land aka Ikorodu

A lot of disinformation and misinformation goes on twitter lately. Recently it was announced by Engr Tokunbo Wahab that the monthly environmental exercise will be reintroduced in Lagos state. Few days after the same person denied the news of reintroduction of monthly sanitation exercise.

Sometimes it's even difficult to know what news to believe and what news not to; even when it is coming from official sources.

Which Oro wan last for 15 days? For broad daylight?

Those wey dey share the news no hear ham well.

I doubt it’s even possible cos such move will be like government playing into the hands of the protesters.

If government in conjunction with traditional rulers decide to fix oro festival on the proposed date of protest, then it means they have given workers holiday. Such holiday will only lead to workers joining the protests instead of being at their work place ; which is not in the government’s interest one bit!

Oro doesn’t stop men from moving about. In fact it will only lead to confrontation between the oro cultists and the people who want to go about their daily lives. Even COVID-19 lockdown couldn’t stop some people from going out , Shey na oro go come stop them ?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That person that tweeted that stuff is obviously not living in Lagos. I have never seen a Statewide Oro festival

But then, I am concerned with the way the government is trying to divide and conquer the protest, rather than listen and see how to avert it.

Nigerians are suffering oh, and the people that will protest with their lives are not on social media or under NANS abi na SMA.

You will be surprised at how one small thing will spiral into a full blown chaos.

All these NLC, Ohaneze and blah blah dissociating themselves means little.

When these fed up Nigerians hit the street, you no go believe wetin you go dey read and see online.[/color]

You are very right .

The government is just playing to the gallery with all these talks of NANS withdraws today, Northern Coalition withdraws tomorrow . For over a year the government has gradually become unpopular even among the people that voted for them enmass in the north and south. The government has refused to show workings with their actions , rather all they do is send their SA’s to attack anybody that points out their failure like a rabid dog.

I personally don’t support the proposed protest because from the agenda of the protest I’ve seen , it looks like a protest that will have neither head nor tail. The whole thing just has the usual Sowore’s brashness written all over it.

Talks about scrapping 1999 constitution, scrapping the senate ,restructuring ,releasing Nnamdi Kanu, etc are not something u want to mix with a protest that is supposed to address current hardship in the country . I believe that’s why people like prof Pat Utomi, Femi Falana , etc would be excusing themselves from the protest .

The government is trying to politicize a serious issue and giving it tribal coloration. Something that didn’t work during the ENDSARS sef. Below is a video of those who sacked Oba of Lagos palace and stole his staff of office . They are obviously “Omo adugbo “ and not some “imported thugs”.

Anybody who knows Lagos Island very well will know these are likely the same set of people who torched the government properties in that same axis . Like u rightly said, these guys are not on Nairaland or twitter where the new national anthem is now “Protest in your state and not my state “ .

https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-aondoakaa-ex-agf-agrees-to-testify-against-nigeria/

A former agf selling out Nigeria. Centuries later we are still being sold out for mirrors and baubles.

This part caught my attention. It appears as though Nigerian ministers take decisions that have serious financial implication for the country on their own without deferring to their principals (The president). Does the constitution grant them such powers or they are doing so of their own volition?

In an interview with TheCable, former President Olusegun Obasanjo challenged Agunloye to tell Nigerians where he derived the authority to award a $6 billion contract to Sunrise from.

“When I was president, no minister had the power to approve more than N25 million without express presidential consent. It was impossible for Agunloye to commit my government to a $6 billion project without my permission and I did not give him any permission,” Obasanjo told TheCable

Agunloye later issued a statement insisting that he had Obasanjo’s approval — although it turned out it was a letter of comfort his principal approved to be issued to Sunrise and not a go-ahead to award the contract.

Buhari also denied authorising the settlement entered into with Sunrise by Abubakar Malami, his AGF.

“While I understood that my ministers of justice, power and water resources were approached by Sunrise and were engaging with various stakeholders that were involved in the project to resolve the issues blocking the project’s implementation, at no time did I specifically instruct them to enter into and conclude any settlement agreement with Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited,” Buhari wrote in a letter to Lafeef Fagbemi, the current AGF, in February this year.

“Indeed, when the proposed settlement agreement and addendum were presented to me for my consideration and approval on 20th April 2020, I refused to approve the settlement deal because I was convinced that there was no basis for Sunrise’s claim.”

In Summary:

1. Obasanjo did not grant Agunloye approval to award the contract to Sunrise but Agunloye did anyways.

2. Buhari did not authorize Malami to enter into any settlement agreement with sunrise because he didn't believe Sunrise had a genuine claim, but Malami still went ahead to enter into an agreement with them.

Which leads to the question: Why is Malami still a free man ?
