Culture / Re: Endangered Languages Of Nigeria + Others by Briareos(m): 5:47pm On Aug 06, 2014 |
pazienza: Diversity might have played a part in the civil war, but the war was majorly caused by politics. Politics and bad policies have been the major cuase of enmity among Nigerians. Diversity, in itself, is not evil. The use of it through propanganda and the divide-and-conquer tactics of our leaders is what's EVIL. 1 Like |

Ceasar1: The bolded is my point. How can you actively conclude that diversity is the bane of hatred in Nigeria when Religion has played a big role in the animosity? diversity has been proven to work a la US so you cant just conclude it is bad for us. 1 Like |

Ceasar1: This is your initial statement --> I'm not a fan of our cultural diversity. It has installed nothing but hatred, division, and distrust amongst Us. We can't function as one because we are all different. So I don't give a damn about it's extinction! Wtcheww! Take note of the bolded. -- We can't function as one because we are different--. And language is one of our many differences in Nigeria, right?. But can we be as diversified as U.S? Almost all nationalities of the world share the suffix - American e.g Nigeria-American, British-American, Korea-American, etc. Most of the world culture converge at this country. Yet, in this country of much diversity, they seem to cohabit peacefully. Somalia, on the other hand, are least diversified. They are majorly of one tribe, speak the language and naturally have the same culture. Yet, they are at each other's throat. They are always fighting and killing each other. Put these two scenarios into mind, and re-read your initial response again. 1 Like |

So I don't give a damn about it's extinction! Wtcheww! Diversity is not responsible for hatred, division and distrust among us. Somalia has just one tribe - yet they are war torn.

Martin Scorcese lent his voice to this clarion call recently. And I'm sure Chris Nolan will be down too. He has refused to shoot on digital. |
TV/Movies / Re: My Experience Of "Half Of A Yellow Sun" At The Cinema by Briareos(m): 11:19pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
promire2004: @Op, the movie "half of a yellow sun" was diplomatically scripted to avoid every form of sentiment from the warring tribes. It was acted based on the stories of the novel. Personally, I admired Chimamanda Adichie's impeccable choice of words. I loved the role of Chiwetel Ejiofor, a university lecturer. His description in the novel matched his personality in the movie. I expected to see a not-so-pretty Kainene, but I was a little disappointed because the movie character was way prettier than I expected. Kainene seemed to harbor some resentment against her sister in the novel, but she showered her sister with so much love in the movie, (forgiving her wrongs). The most touching aspects of the movie for me were the scenes at the airport (killings of the ibos by the hausa soldiers). The painful loss of friends and family members. Nothing was said about Ugwu's sick mother in the movie. In all, I had fun watching the movie at the cinema. It was so touching. Thandie Newton looked so fragile and vulnerable. Genevieve played the role of the sharp-mouthed Ms Adebayo impressively. I'm going to see the movie solely because of Kainene. One of the best characters to ever come out of a Nigerian novel in a long time. Her role, if you look at it critically, is the most iconic in the whole novel. Plus she is frakking independent. Mild Spoilers Ahead Revolutionary Lover was a closetted tribalist. I couldn't forgive Ugwu for the rape. Olanna was the supporting actress in the world of another person. Kainene, on the other hand, was the lead actor in her world. |
TV/Movies / Half Of A Yellow Sun Tops Nigerian Box Office by Briareos(m): 3:06pm On Aug 04, 2014 |
Breaking News! Half of a Yellow Sun marches gallantly to Number 1 spot at the Nigerian Box Office. It beats Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy (in 2D and 3D), Bad Neighbours, 22 Jump street, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Think Like a Man too. Source Friday's closing box office reported that about 8 of the 15 cinemas showing Half of a Yellow Sun indicate a Number 1 spot for the hugely anticipated film. This is significant because the huge marvel/disney film Guardians of the Galaxy starring Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel also got released in multiple viewing formats (2D and 3D), yet Half of a Yellow Sun was a sell out in cinema screens in Ibadan, Abuja, Surulere and Lekki. |
