GH PATRIOT: It was sent to me because we are In-laws, we are in this together.

Ghana is not an outsider, and I assure you, no Zimbo will come close to it.

Yo! Onua! I will inbox you the shyt soon, after spreading it on Ghanaweb, any Ghanaian on this thread who wants it must be prepared to be subjected to strict proofing analysis, be prepared to answer questions via Twi, Ga, Fante, ewe and Hausa.
My friend, stop this silly joke. Your trick wont work here. No Nigerian on this thread will be foo.lish or asinine enough to send you the 'orijo' - Not because you are a bad person but because in one of the 'most rearest' occurrence, Nigerians are united for one goal.

Afam4eva: It's only if you're an Igbo boy that you will understand what Melvin is doing. This guy is a fvcking genius. take it from me. For this singular action of his, he has just won more fans from the unlikely of places. Some people will now see him as second only to Jesus. This his game is fvcking tight and strong. He knows he's gonna be saved. Lol grin When una vex finish, make una vote for Melvin grin
You don't have to be Igbo to understand sh*t. It is common sense, my guy.

Its really a risky but extremely smart move. Melvin will prolly reason that if somehow he gets evicted now (which he know is unlikely), then he can't win the mullah even at the finals.

And he timed it so well. This is the best time to pull this kind of stunt.

If he continue like this, I see Melvin bringing that 300K to Lasgidi.

Please i would like to get back to art line..proberbly for my PGD or Masters please is there anyway i can migrate to dramatic art, mass comm having HND in banking and finace can i do PGD in art course..or please what is the best advise for me as i only find peace in drama, mass comm and art oriented course..... But jamb made me went banking... Now i am 33years and married i ...please what can i do....i need urgent advise pls
This is like putting the cart before the horse. Buddy, you should have made this inquiry before you quit your job. Oh well, you have run a cyber cafe, so I suppose you have a means of livelihood.

Depending on your budget - you might want to apply for New York Film Academy. Else, there are some film schools in Nigeria where you can obtain a diploma degree in some filmmaking courses.

Just make some research. I suppose this is part of your research, though grin. Best of luck



Oh, @VillageBoi, i sight you.

TV/MoviesRe: Teens Revolution In Nollywood. by Briareos(m): 1:24pm On Jun 28, 2013
VillageBoi: ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I did enjoy the original thread when I first saw it and thought 'Yeah by now she'd be doing something'... maybe would have made a tiny short with her friends or something.
Can you remember the thread with the other girl that made a clip of a 'prospective' horror movie but needs actors and all sorts? At least she stepped out and did something. It wasn't great or anything but, if I remember correctly, it did show she had a pretty good sense of 'sound' for the genre.

I'm pretty sure Jenny has friends and someone has at least got a 'phone that shoots 720p' - Make a 60-90 sec 'silent' short or ANYTHING to show you CAN think outside of the 'Idumota market box' that 95% of people are going to fall into (if not 99.9%). If I had been in film when I was in Naija... me and my 'friends' for dey shoot one-one scene, two-two scenes every weekend until one feature dey in the 'Can'. Highest e go take one year to shoot abi?

People out there need to start thinking 'differently' and I mean VERY differently because every other person you meet is a filmmaker, writer, director, producer, editor, actor, driving-catering-vfx-gaffer! And some people out there are da.mn good!

She might have ideas but hey 'everybody else does too'... some people can think academically but you put them out in the street in a 'real' situation and you end up scratching your head yourself.
+1000

Also, ive gotta ask - Jenny, do you have any production experience at all? It wont hurt you if you go to any shooting location and see whats going on there.
TV/MoviesRe: Teens Revolution In Nollywood. by Briareos(m): 7:00pm On Jun 27, 2013
First of, I saw your other thread where you disclose this idea. I've got to tell you - its a difficult one and only your IDEA alone cannot get you anywhere.

Nobody will finance an 'IDEA'. At least no business minded person will. You will need something concrete more than just the idea. You will need a plan. You will need a story. You will need a script. You will need to have a clear cut plan of what you want to achieve.


I will drop you a message, anyways. Cheers.
TV/MoviesRe: Skyfall Review - Jump In Wit Ur Opinions by Briareos(m): 6:22pm On Jun 26, 2013
Now that informal talks are underway between Chris Nolan and James Bond power that be about the possibility of Nolan taking over the franchise. As writer/director of course. My advise is for everyone to resort back to their Gods in making it a reality. PraY to Allah, God, Chineke, Buddah, Oluwa, Zeus, Odin or whoever you believe in to make this a reality.

If anyone remember the last act of the movie Inception by CN... Where actions took place in the snowy area - one would think it is a James Bond movie.

Also the aeroplane hijacking in the opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises is James Bond-esque.

CN has never disappoint. And as a fan of 007, I pray for nothing less than Nolan to take over the series now that Sam Mendes has hanged his boot.

@ Topic. Even though just like the stolen cassava bread idea, this is another stolen and non original idea and attache move, bug at least he stole something that really makes sense.


The progressive are teaching and Jonathan is taking notes like a learner.... Unfortunately, can't take these jokers seriously union they stop and fight corruption, until the get rid of the immunity cover, instil jobs himself stop appointing crooked and shady characters, until they trim all the excess baggage thats eating 80% of the budget while the rest of the country scavenge for the remaining 20% and so on and on and on..

Cant wait to see the joker get sent back to the creeks come 2015...
You made a lot of valid points and I know you understand Nigeria very well. You've successfully summarized Nigeria's problems.

But unfortunately, no government will or can do all the things you proposed. Our politicians lack ideas, and more importantly they lack the will to change from their corrupt ways. Their neck deep in godfatherism, nepotism and sheer lack of regard for other people except themselves.

I've come to realize that they don't see things our way - how can they? Let's be honest. They are living an excessive life, they have all they want and more, their children are not in this country and the people, sorry, sycophants surrounding them are praising them to high heavens. How can they understand what we common men are going through?

This is where the masses come in. This is where we should use the only power we have over them - the power of number to force them into seeing things our way. This is when we should occupy the street and demand for what is rightly ours.

Waiting for a messiah that will never come is exactly what they want us to do while they keep enriching themselves and their next ten generation.

At the risk of been labelled a hater, but I've gotta ask - what did he do with his money?

I'm sure he has enough money to take care of this but as it has become the habbit of Nigerian celebrities, they want Nigerians to take care of them.

He made a lot of money through music, he has a lot of rich friends and acquittances; I'm sure he should be able to come up with something without relying on the ordinary Nigerians.


Who will gather around and donate money for the common men when they have kidney failure?

SAGirl: LOL... why are you mad at me now? We don't hate Beverly, I am a member of 1 or 2 South African BBA pages and I have not sensed any hatred for Beverly whatsoever. So please do tell where you get that idea from. South Africans collectively only hate 2 people on the show, Hakeem and Pokello. And still, I am wrong to say collectively because I have already seen some South Africans pledging their alligiance (spelling?) to those two. Next in the list would be LK4, Selly and Maria, because of their dealings with SA reps in the house. But Beverly? No ways.

And South Africans don't hate Nigerians. If you picked a random South African BBA viewer, they would choose Nigeria over Zimbabwe any day. So why do think South Africans hate Nigerians? We supported Uti, Karen, the two big guys, and we absolutely adore Melvin. Of cause this will never reflect in our voting patterns because Zimbabweans own the South African vote (through rigging), and South Africans tend to never care enough to vote anyway.

So please get that idea out of your head Madam Sparkle, we are in this together. Beverly comes across as annoying and childish to me, and I don't see what her role is in the house. That has nothing to do with her being Nigerian.
I do agree with you. Sparkles likes Bev a lot. And she defends her zealously, that might accounts for her poisonous venom.

It took me over three hours to read the post. This is very heart breaking and we should take it really seriously instead of fighting over silly things like Username.

these Politicians are mortgaging our future while securing themselves and their ten generations to come abroad.

PoliticsRe: Let's Learn To Love And Trust Each Other As A Nation by Briareos(m): 9:36am On Jun 17, 2013
Marginalization, as opposed to how some people think is quite irrelevant when to the underdevelopment of some parts of this country.

The Northerners have held power more than any zone in Nigeria, yet North is relatively underdeveloped. Obasanjo was president for eight years, the effect is unnoticeable in South West. Goodluck has been ruling since, South South is not developing out of the ordinary.

Nigerians are seeing the problems of this country from a plexiglass; we are not seeing it clearly. The problem is majorly our LEADERS. We have terrible people in the helms of affairs. I've always wondered why no Igbo senator or governor or minister is pro Biafran. Or why no Hausa top echelons practice Islam the way their youth is practicing it. Or why no Yoruba politician is seeing himself better than other tribes and not pallying with others?

Our politicians irrespective of their tribe are busy looting the funds of this country while we the youth are busy fighting each others senselessly.

Is it the Hausas or Igbos that are preventing the South West governors from developing their states? Maybe it is the Igbos that are underdeveloping the North.

If this country splits today - what do the pro 'let's divide' think is going to happen? That our leaders will suddenly change? The same set of people that has been ruling, that are still ruling now will still be the same people that will rule the divided countries.

We think these people are foolish but the truth is that we are not that wise either and they are using us to achieve their aim.

TV/MoviesRe: What Do You Benefit From Watching The Big Brother Africa Show? by Briareos(m): 10:26pm On May 26, 2013
[quote author=Nuzo']I had always dismissed the BBA as a waste of time until I made out time to see BBA7 (Stargame).

The show gives you the opportunity to see life from different perspectives. Different opinions, actions and reactions. I was shocked!

Its just a reflection of our everyday lives. Betrayals, backbitting, lies, false accusation, pretentious lives, high temperament.

BBA made me realize that people are diffent and will always understand things differently. I also got to understand that some smilly all is well people we see everyday can be very sad people when they resign to their various homes.

And as for the culture thing, what exactly do they do in BBA that we Africans don't do in our various homes? Alcohol, promiscuity, sex, lies, dance etc?

Honestly, I find BBA more educating than entertaining! shocked[/quote]This is prolly the best take (view) I've read on BBA.

like someone rightly said, there is no law or statute which explicitly states anything about mercy killilng, in fact there is no bill being currently sponsored on the floor of the national assembly!!!

what we usually do is some form of "passive" euthanasia i.e withdrawing all forms of treatment, and the main reason is usually due to lack of funds.....

but "active" euthanasia?? never head of it being done anywhere
Quite sad, actually
