Yep that's the movie.

OK, thanks 😊

placeofallure:
With your last paragraph, I agree a 101 percent. Hip-hop brand of music, you will either do all of these - philandering, drugs, women, fraud, gangsterism, petty crimes - or you pretend like you are doing them otherwise no blowing for you.
No serious Christian girl will align with someone like Davido or any of his 30 BG (l like Davido though) Isreal should have known better. He should pick up the pieces and move on.

ufotunang:
..is that compulsory

Is it compulsory for the wife to kneel before her husband?

ufotunang:
Is it the husband that supposed to spray her money or the wedding guests, friends and family members...I do not understand

In that segment of the ceremony, the wife kneels in front of the husband and he sprays her money.

“She came prepared” – Moment bride brings out Ghana-must-go bag to pack husband money on wedding day (Video)

A beautiful bride has decided to empty her husband’s pocket as she stormed their wedding with big Ghana-must-go bag to pack money.

A video rocking the air online has captured the bride kneeling in front of her husband as he brings out cash from his pocket.

The Nigeria wedding tradition entails the groom showering his bride with money while the event’s MC, Alaga Iduro, sings for them. However, the woman took charge of the cash, collecting and stashing it in her bag.

The comments says more about the females in the commenters' family than the couple.

silvoclaira:
That guy is a full grown SIMP.


Just look at his face expression

Pele o!

Broke, Poor, Alfa Mail.

Even though I fall into the exceptions you stated in your caveat, I am happy I read the thread.

At least I have learnt there are MTN Data plans called SME, Corporate & Mega and the rates for the first two.

I also liked the breakdown for resellers.

Like they say, no knowledge is lost.

@ reason for OP: I hope the affected ecosystem are able to pull through.

Wow so beautiful and interesting here. I have never see such a thing in my life. Congratulations to the bride ❤️❤️❤️

VIDEO: Beautiful Yoruba Lady Goes Digital, Does Her Wedding Introduction Online

A beautiful Yoruba lady, Tomi, has broken the norm and gone digital, does her wedding introduction online.


In the video, the young lady could be seen dancing with family members in what looks to be their sitting room.

The family are all dressed regally and dance to the song being played while the soon-to-be husband can be seen on a huge screen TV smiling at the introduction ceremony.

It seems like the couple are in a long distance relationship and the man could not make it for the ceremony.

However, technology has made it easier for them as they took to performing the ceremony virtually.

See some reactions:

@Lexyzdoo wrote: “Money breaks protocols… the man must be rich that’s why her parent sef comport to it. Hustle ooo so make you to fit do virtual introduction”

@Archi_ichef advised: “Let’s embrace technology. The world is revolving faster than we could imagine.. allow the couples be let them do it their way”

@Don_zie1995 added: “Wow! Maybe the groom is not presently in her county. Nice concept tho.”

@olakennyd said: “We will give birth virtually too. Let’s all be mad!”

@Lahnrewaju_ reacted: “This one no be introduction na introtech In this life have money ”

😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 @ Introtech.

Except something extremely critical happened that one of the parties couldn't make a prescheduled ceremony, I do not understand the concept of e-marriage rites or the picture representation that used to happen in the past.

You need to watch Courageous, it is a movie right up your ally. Meaning, you will totally love it because of your persona and values on family. The Kendrick Brothers produced War Room but Courageous is even better. War Room didn't impress me as much as Courageous did.

My movie recommendation would be The Glory, a K-drama series with just 3 seasons but well executed. I stumbled on it on YouTube. I've only seen the highlights, but I want more. It is based on a true-life story of high school bullying in Korea.

The actors on my list don't act useless (sex crazed movies) or LGBTQ themed movies, as far as I know, and I hope they never lend their talent to such nonsense and depravity. From your post I am guessing you never watched 50 shades of grey . The buzz around it made me watch part three of it, which I understand was reasonably saner than parts one and two.

Thanks, would look for Courageous to watch.

The Glory (also K-drama) I found on Netflix has 16 Episodes. Lead actress is Song Hye-kyo. The synopsis is same.

I kuku watched the part 1 especially as social justice warriors said the female lead was subjugated and she declared the opposite. So I watched it with hubby at home and the last scene where he started whipping her was a serious anticlimax.

zaynie:
Please include where we can watch these.

Netflix?

All the movies I reviewed on Netflix.

@Klass99 please confirm for the movies you posted.

Klass99:
1. I haven't seen any of these movies and your reviews on each movie has me thinking we've got very different tastes in movies.

2. Give me anything with these actors and actresses in it and I am good to go, because their movies never flop;

1. Liam Neeson (Taken)
2. Mel Gibson (Mel needs no intro na)
3. Gerrard Butler (300)
4. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine in Xmen)
5. Sam Worthington (Man on a ledge)
6. The Kendrick Brothers (Courageous)

7. Angela Basset
8. Viola Davies
9. Nse Ikpe Etim.

Let me officially welcome you to the thread

1. Not necessarily apart from alphabet people agenda, sex crazy movies without a plot, movies to drive ideologies I don't dig (feminism, red pill, senseless love triangles, aiding irresponsibility in men & now women) etc I generally like watching movies.

2. From your list, watched 300 (awesome) and some of Nse's & Mel's movies. Taken & Courageous sounds familiar (maybe there was a buzz around them) but I don't think I have watched them.

Recommend a movie, let's watch and review 👌

Namaster:
Bleep that girl NOW.

Bleep her and move on. She's not someone you should EVER marry. Marrying a girl who's playing provider for her family when she has no job is bringing CALAMITY into your own life.

You'd be adding her ENTIRE family to your expenses. You will feed her. You will feed her family.

It'll make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to escape poverty.

Note: if you are not poor now, marrying her will your financial situation will deteriorate until you are.

Also, the girl does NOT like or respect you. That's why she flares up over some minor issues. She has someone ELSE already and she's fucking him.

You are just her and her family's personal piggy bank.

Finally, Bleep her. Bleep her good and discharge her.

I hope he gets a trophy after sleeping with her.

The lack of respect you lots place on your bodies needs to be studied in Harvard.

You will guard your money, guard your houses, degrees, jobs and other things that are not so important yet be sexually loose mingling all sorts with your body, soul & spirit.

If the OP has decided that the girl is not for him, the honorable thing is to let her go.

The NGO shouldn't have given her the cash.

The deal was a free goitre surgery. Since she wasn't interested, then they use the money to treat the next person.

I can't deal with people who are poor mentally.

Not up to 3 weeks relationship and you’re already her “Ademi” … That title doesn’t come cheap you know

"..........What can we do?"



I don't know why I'm impressed with this her approach.

She is a collaborative person and team player

I love to spray celebrants money & also be sprayed when I am the celebrant.

It is the highlight of parties for me & when we go for parties hosted by colleagues and they call us to dance, the euphoria while dancing round the person & spraying money is out of this world.

There was a time I couldn't afford to spray; I joined my people to dance & moved on. Next, I was only able to afford N1k or N2k changed into crispy N100 notes; I sprayed what I had and moved on.

Now I can afford much more in higher denominations, I spray & move on.

The onus is for each person to know the stage of life they are in and be content while praying & working towards more.

This is not to say everyone must spray; some people don't like it. Just how I do not fancy public donations & charity when it is not necessary.

Aonkuuse:
I came acrose this heartbreaking hypocrisy of the west and could not help it but to share....

This man was shot dead while preaching in the states and there is no single public uproar or any single news outlet carrying it.... But imagine it happened in Nigeria, the states would have said Nigeria is this and Nigeria is that.... They would have even gone ahead to place visa restrictions and all sort of things.

The west really need to stop looking at others as bad while they are doing the worst things.

Apart from painting other nations bad, imagine it was an homosexual or trans shot dead while preaching their stuff or doing their rally.

@OP:

It is not clear if it was a mistake (stray bullet) or intentional.

So sad.

May God send helpers to care for the children. Amen.

LordAdam16:
Mikel Obi did set up a number of his relations.

Furthermore, of all professionals, black tax impact athletes the most.
Their income does not last a lifetime.
You get stupendously paid for a decade, if that, of your life.

Notice the candor and distress in his statement.
He is not a corporate grunt who would earn more as he gets older.
He is not an accomplished entertainer receiving million-dollar royalty paychecks every month.

His best earning years are behind him.
And it is excruciatingly painful that the money he spent on his family including investments failed to yield fruits.

Financial discipline is essential, especially at the start.
Let them call you stingy. If you don't send money for naming ceremony, you can still pay for college tuition.
That 15 year interval is crucial. Between when you start having spare change and when good money start rolling in from various sources.
Billing no dey finish.
In fact, it is your responsibility to appropriate manage when to give and when to snake them.
That's why Lady Luck chose you.

Lastly, this all depends on family.
For every Mikel Obi and regular professional complaining about Black Tax, there are hundreds of families where most family members are industrious and have good heads on their shoulders.
A bad family is like a bad wife. They'd wreck you.
Whatever you expend will be like watering a stone.
You employ them, problem. You open a business for them, problem. You foot bills, problem.
When you're not Elon Musk.

We don't choose family like we don't choose our genes.
So you study your family and figure out how best to deal with them.
If they're assets, good for you. If they're liabilities, work out how to address the challenge.
If there are families where literally everyone in the immediate nuclear family is a white-collar professional, and yours isn't, common sense dictates that you acknowledge you're handicapped and act accordingly.

Other families dey do winter retreat for Northern Europe or a lake house in North America, you dey dodge bill for school fees or rent. And you still 1 do pass yourself. On top 69 years life expectancy. Continue. Na billing go kee you.

-Lord

I hope he really prepared for the lean years ahead.

Fair Play:

Hmmmmmmm, I would have preferred if the movie gave us a solution to the problem (which is common in the corporate world) than giving us a movie that ended with the usual ‘men are scum’.

Someone said she knew he was a psycho when he mistakenly sucked blood while giving her oral & he didn’t freak out. That part was absolutely not necessary. They could have shown us their ‘great love’ without the nasty detail which would turn people off. But again, what is Hollywood without a bit of nastiness?

As usual, there was a lot of ‘men don’t want their women to grow or be above them’ yada yada. If this is what they wanted to portray, then the execution was confusing.

1. Luke was his babe’s ‘boss/senior colleague’ that’s why he wanted her promoted so they can declare their relationship without the hassle of power imbalance.

2. Luke was rumoured to be ‘earmarked’ for the promotion because he was next in line. He and everyone believed he was getting the promotion till his babe went for a midnight meeting with the boss and was offered the promotion instead. I honestly don’t know who would be happy in such a situation; everyone I know in such situation eventually left the company. The babe was NEVER a contender for the position; she was just given on a platter of night meeting.

3. Luke didn’t process his feelings properly. According to the lingo of today, two truths can co-exist:
a. He is happy that his babe was promoted
b. He beefs the employee who took ‘his’ position and the management who gave it out.

He was in denial of B till it consumed him.


4. Only Luke understood work/life balance. The babe didn’t; her colleagues didn’t neither did the overall boss. Luke was said to be an enemy of progress because he told her not to pick the midnight calls or hang out always with the male colleagues. I honestly don’t know who would happily tolerate a spouse who works morning till night and still get random midnight calls.

5. I wonder what the babe was trying to prove following the men to the strip club, getting drunk with them and talking dirty. She could decline & maintain her lady dignity. But what is lady dignity to Hollywood?

6. I like they tried to show us why the lady got promoted instead of Luke. She was a very good analyst, looked at trends and took calculated risks as opposed to Luke who relied on insider trading & luck. She knew her job very well.

7. Luke going bonkers: trying to sabotage her at work, kneeling to beg the boss and trying to badmouth her choice of clothes, carriage etc. I would have preferred a Luke who was self-aware and moved to another firm instead.

8. I don’t get the rape part. Seems more like lack of accountability to me. At that point, Luke had gone full psycho & I salute her bravery following him to the toliet alone & responding to his advances. That babe is really brave. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t stay alone with him 100m apart. I love my life & sanity.

9. The end. Why do peeps complain about a behaviour in someone then go ahead to do same thing? Again, the end could be better done without the girl going bonkers. But again, she lied to the boss that Luke was harassing her. I believe the boss knew she was lying but liked her (work) so told her HR would clean it up.

Once upon a crime:

Lovely twist to the Cinderella & Little Red Riding Hood (LRRH) stories. Trust Asians to build a ‘strong’ female character who is still feminine. LRRH has magic sha; nobody can tell me otherwise. Her ability to jump from 0 to 1,000 in the name of deduction is epic. But I loved it sha. I loved her banter with the old witch; her constant polite interruptions at the Palace & reconnecting the Prince with his maid. I don’t understand that Prince sha; he moved towards Cinderella during the dance like it was intentional and chased her after. If he just wanted a dance to get his father off his back, then that part wasn’t well interpreted.

Mr. Hans.... dude was psycho. Blackmailing the Prince, cutting beautiful hairs he does not style etc. He was bound to meet his Waterloo sooner or later.

Then Cinderella herself.... How did LRRH figure she was lying about the shoes? While saying she wouldn’t pick raspberries for Margot if she took her shoes make sense, I doubt Cinderella would have a choice if her aunt commanded her to do so?

I am happy the Prince got his love back as per confirmed lover girl.

I wonder how the King felt realising that his Crown Prince was blackmailed by a mere hairdresser because he threw the King's crown away. May we realise our importance & potential o.

Forgotten Love:

I love love that movie though it wasn't clear how the daughter suddenly had the epiphany that the protagonist was her father. I love the protagonist; he gave me an older Outlander's Jamie Fraser vibes. I wished there was a back story how he married his wife given she did not love him & eventually ran away with their daughter to her ex. His relationship with his daughter was pure bliss. His passion to his job & commitment to actually helping the poor was commendable. I also admire his self-discipline when the Miller offered herself to him, he wanted to be sure what he felt for her. He was a very good lover too & understood what she was saying when she said ‘she was not his woman’. And the fact he was the miller's lover & was still humble enough to do his job? Perfect! (Reminds me of Julio in The Gran Hotel). I don’t believe women should chase men however I admit that the Miller chasing the Doc was well executed. I also love the Miller’s personality; sweet & fiesty and absolute belief in her man. When she stole the surgical instruments because he said he could attempt a procedure, that was classic.

I love the daughter's drive to turn her circumstances around despite her misfortune. And I think she would make a fine Doctor. Interestingly, she had better chemistry with her friend than his wife. I was initially rooting for them but on second thoughts, I wonder if he can support and accommodate her dreams. Or maybe he likes the comfortable (his wife) for marriage and leaves the passion & fire for affairs undecided The Count chasing the girl ; don’t know, seemed like a pet project to me. Maybe my bias is playing out here. I still enjoyed some of their scenes especially when he found her at where she was staying before. I also liked when his father FINALLY stood up to his mother. Maybe he had a love interest (guessing from the letters he dug out from the drawer) and familial duty made him marry that bitter woman; had to stand up that his son mustn’t go through same.

The protagonist’s co-worker? A classic example of people who want to put a cap on your growth. At the end, he was fine asserting he had medical training and might even employ him to work for him however Dr. XYZ (you know his name) must be dead! They are the frenemies spoken about. God pass am.

I felt for the daughter of the Jewish man. While the father seemed more tolerated (maybe because he owned the business?), his daughter seemed shunned by almost everyone & the father either didn’t notice or pretended not to.

Things that didn’t work for me:
1. It wasn’t clear how the daughter suddenly became aware that the Doc was her father. She didn’t know his name, his history nor did she seem to remember his face. I believe this is part of the miracles of plot devices
2. The marriage of the tree feller & wife. So dispassionate especially for a country between wars. Such event usually trigger people to live life to the fullest; no one knows when death would come.
3. The movie should have given us a background of the Doctor & his wife. Why did that marriage happen?

Good morning NLers

I believe this is my first thread this year (2023 must not pass thread creation by )

I watched these movies and always wanted to open individual threads to discuss them but here we are. Individual posts would have to do. (Half bread is better than none)

Would like to read other views on the movies. Just quote the movie you want to talk about

mascot87:
That is not the point. No one is talking about no paying here. We are talking about privacy issue

Nope, you have conditioned your mind not to pay.

Because if you pay as at when due, they would not harass you or engage your contact list in the first place.

And I pray that for every way you thevies try to outsmart them, they put measures in place to mitigate against it.

If you have no means of paying back, don't borrow; beg instead.

Sprints3:
u go dey yarn rubbish... Those loan sharks ain't honest I once had issues with creditwise I was accessing their loan policy next they just sent 29k into my account and asked me to pay 49k in 7 days... Those loan organization are not honest... How do u expect to collect 45k on 100k in 30 days is the person during blood money

Since you can't pay back N45k on N100k in one month, isn't it natural to steer clear?

GloriousGbola:
The loan sharks actions are a response to a Nigerian problem. Nigerians take loans all the time with no plan to pay them back.

Multiple finance houses and lower tier banks have failed because of this.

They have identified harassment and embarrassment as a tool that can force people to pay.

I cannot fault their methods because 95% of the people who take those loans never had any plan to repay.

Let the average Nigerian become more financially honest and these companies will not resort to methods like this

@bold: well said.

Someone above is already telling people how to boycott the DLMs by storing fake contacts on the phone they intend to download the app.

This is a case of cunny man die, cunny man bury am.

mascot87:
The secret of loan shark is very simple.
Before you borrow money from any loan app company, MAKE SURE you take off all your phone contact and store them in a different phone. Make sure you have FAKE contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app.
Make sure you have fake phone contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app

Make sure you have fake phone contacts on the phone you are installing the loan app

Please take that information seriously.
Don't keep your original contacts on that phone you are installing that loan app.
That's is the only way they can blackmail you.
A word is enough for the wise

The question is why do you intend to take a loan without paying back?

While it is easy to blame the Govt because of their ineptitude towards actual governance, the average Nigerian contributed to this menace.

1. Toliets in public institutions (schools, hospitals, religious houses, filling stations etc.) are constantly mismanaged by the users. I have seen cases where there is water and all that is needed is to press and flush yet users still manage to mess it up. If you use a toliet, it is not flex to leave it dirty; leave it cleaner than you met it.

2. Landlords build houses without toilets for humans (not animals) to rent. This is where regulatory bodies should come in and arrest such Landlords. If they spend two - three years in jail, others would sit up.

3. If you have found yourself in a tolietless house, nothing stops you from doing your business in a nylon & dispose properly. All the tenants can come together & build a pit latrine then deduct the amount spent from the next rent. Just that a person wicked enough to build a house without toliet might deal with the tenants or force them to pay the full rent.

4. Markets, Garages, and Stops should have toliets for a fee. Maybe N50 for number 1 & N100 for number 2. Or N20 & N50 respectively. This would make users more responsible.

Farfalla:
I'm glad this is coming from a man. Let more women learn that men hate it when they're loved deeply by women. That's why "wife materials" are the most despised lot of women.

These are small boys na.

What do they know?

When it is time to marry, they would be looking for these same type of ladies to marry.

Lukepeter:
Keep telling yourself that, cowards always have things to say to make themselves feel better.

From the way you describe everything that transpire between you and her there is only two reasons for your inability to fvck her, cowardice or impotency.

You would just have to live with that for the rest of your life, of course people go reason your cowardice here but in reality the person that matters (the lady) no go rate you. Person come for fvck you dey preach for her.

Your mind is seriously messed up.

The tragic thing about this thread is that the guys don’t realise that the girls they tangled with have given them what they should have reserved for their husbands.

I call it the nectar.

When these guys break the ladies' hearts by misbehaving or ending the relationship (because they are not mature enough to handle the nectar), the girls go round with 'all men are scam' and when they get married, they have no nectar to give their husbands because they have become jaded.

The small boys who couldn't handle the nectar of their girlfriends of their youth would grow up and begin to look for a woman like her. Fortunately, they meet nectarless women and Start crying 'all women are scum'.

Goodluck to both parties.
