SirShymex: Apart from "The Wire" which is basically in a league of its own. OZ is up there on my best TV series ever! The show just never garnered the same publicity as "The Wire" or even "Prison Break." If it had, Simon Adebisi would've been on the same level of notoriety as other TV characters like: Omar, Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell etc. who became urban legends afterwards.
Simon Adebisi is a freaking legend, especially the funny hat at the back of his head, that never dropped, despite his madness. The accent, the dance, and he was super ganagsta - legend right there.
I won't cal him the most talented naija actor, since he's more into action and adventure movies/TV-series, because he's more of physical force of nature. And he never studied acting - he studied Law. Got discovered in Uni by a modelling agency, and he moved from modelling to acting. Unlike Chiwetel Ejiofor who's more of a Professional Actor, and actually studied Theatre Art.
oz was so far ahead of its time. if it were to drop in the last 5 years, simon adebisi would have been as legendary as hannibal lektor. prison break?? michael schofield will not survive 2 hours in oz.
i blame the producers & the writers - they should have been a little bit more patient till when TV shows are now global & are being viewed from every continent. most people have never heard of oz & they believe prison break is the best show ever.
none of the inmates in prison break will last one hour in oz. adebisi, o'riley, schilinger, tobias beecher & that italian mafian that crucified a jew upside down. too many sick characters on oz. it's the best TV show ever.
SirShymex: Have you even heard him pronounce his full names? You can't be more Yoruba than that, and I'm sure a lot of folks who claim to be Nigerian just because they were there can't even speak the darn language as good as the guy. Yet folks still want to question the guy's identity - laughable.
There are tons of Nigerians from Nigeria who can't speak their native language, and speaking proper English is a myth for them. What should we call these folks? Beasts of no nation?
London stand the fvck up!! We're dominating hollywood - where Nigerian Americans at? How can naija Londoners be dominating you in your backyard?
that's him in oz singing in yoruba "oluwa wa ranmi lowo" after getting locked up in solitary for leading a prison riot. he has to be the most talented nigerian actor. the show lost it's flavour when he died - although i was told he got a role in mummy(part 2) and there was no way he could continue being part of the cast in oz so they had to kill him in the plot.
tintingz: I love his character in OZ. "My name is Adebisi" with that his accent.
he's the baddest guy there. what didn't he do? drugs, murder, putting bottles in someone's food, he even räped someone. simon adebisi is crazy.
SirShymex: Are you sure about that? The Adetomiwa Edun guy was born in Nigeria, and he moved to the UK when he was like 11. So, how is he just Nigerian by name?
Adewale Agbaje has always been connected to his Nigerian roots, since his parents came back to get him from his foster parents. Hence his full Yoruba names.
You can choose an identity for folks, let them decide who they're and who they want to be.
he listens to nigerian music. he has a top 10 list of nigerian music on MTV some years ago. he knows p-square, d-banj, etc. his command of yoruba language is impeccable. he tries as much as possible to speak yoruba when he gets the chance - he spoke yoruba in bourne identity & plenty of times on oz!
Pennywise: Imagine what a 39yr old man is vomiting on a public forum. I hope you live to be 40. What u need now is deliverance at the synagogue or what is left of it. Then, we can talk.
you think everyone is a failure like you? 39 year-old man? you are the most irresponsible sonofawhore i have ever come across on this forum.
yet, they say life expectancy in nigeria is low - why aren't you dead yet? the country continues to churn out brain-dead half baked grafuates like yourself who have no nous or the ability to conduct himself properly on a forum.
itstpia1: i dont watch movies to get role models, and it would be quite inadvisable for anyone to do so.
samantha's role was exaggerated somewhat [although there are women like that].
so you are not aware a chic in NZ emulated samantha at a point & slept with over 1000 men?
Pennywise: Cooger the photosensitive epileptic, stay with me on these pages as I convert u to a word sensitive epileptic right after my church appointment.
you have nothing substantial to offer - vamoose from this zone before i pee in your nostrils.
itstpia1: i thought you said you were on the thread with church mind?
@ pennywise.
abeg dont corrupt me, chilisauce has offered to take both of you on, so face her side, thanks.
look at tpia catching feelings.... i can't believe there are so many butterflies in your tummy because i'm feigning puppy-love. that's one of my rare gifts..... making a 40-year old woman feeling like a teenage girl.
itstpia1: perhaps both, i forgot it had a sequel. the one i had in mind was where they were in the middle east [part 2].
all i just wanna say is samantha is a bad role model for young women. how many men has she slept with now? 3,000?
how did you even come across a movie like this? aint you supposed to be watching passion of the christ, nativity, the bible, 10 commandments & mount zion movies?
Pennywise: Well, if u are in heat, both u and Cooger can save us the inconvenience of innocent misrepresentation above. If he had a dyck I would have recommended proper brushing.
what do you call a leprachaun that talks about another man's genitäls on a public forum?
like i told you yesterday, you are bïtch-made. if you run away from home for one day, you would come back pregnant.
Pennywise: The only one I like to be with here is you my dear cos u are d only one making sense. Cooger can keep sniffing tpia' arsz to see if she is in heat. I am not for that.
you are a spastic hilly-billy! Bleep outta here before i convert your small intestine into a bungee cord.
itstpia1: @ topic some movies for review: temptations: confessions of a marriage counselor grown ups sex and the city **not saying the movies should be rated, just reviewed**
Wrongturn: E no rhyme oga! Cool/crew/boo/book/ dey one side while Cal/cle/gle/le dey another side. Abi u wan pronounce hustle as husool? No think say na because u no know me naim mean say u know pass me. For this Nl self the only people wey sabi rhyme very well na Emaprince, Mikuz and Coogar. Emaprince is the best though. Hold on, I'll post one of his verse so u'll see what good rhyming means
it rhymes...... your öral english needs lots of work.
this is why judged battles can sometimes be phoney. loads of voters don't even know what rhymes & what doesn't. elymax was very perfect with his rhymes.......the best rhymers actually deliberately choose words that shouldn't rhyme on paper - this is why Eminem is the greatest in the world.
only baby rappers use hook, cook, book, shook in a rhyme scheme.
the number of syllables that you are rhyming must allign & must be at least 2.
check this example....
•People reckon Coog is so ill/Since my venom shook the roaches/Your soul... i have paid for...Heaven took the proceeds/Persia's prince levitates with sorcery and NL stood to notice/My magical text would send Sid to Aro ....like he read the 7th book of Moses/
6-syllable rhyme scheme.
•venom shook the roaches •heaven took the proceeds •NL stood to notice •7th book of moses.
•I brought 10 psycho-killers from Herzegovina/Your girl won't be spared... I'd let hollows in her.....while she's reading an encyclopaedia/then have the news wrapped around her head like Ken Saro Wiwa/
5-syllable rhyme scheme
•10 psycho-killers •let hollows in her •encyclopaedia •ken saro wiwa
chic2pimp: Watching Aguero destroy Spurs on MOTD. This dude is simply Romario Incarnated. Everything he does from his movement to his balance, from the way he runs to the way he turns sharply and clinically finishes off chances is simply ROMARIOESQUE
romario is more brilliant! aguero is very good though but romario had more pace and he runs straight with that his bow legs. romario isn't a sicknote like sergio as well.
When someone acts the way he means, its honest, spontaneous, smooth and come across as very NORMAL. Well, because it's normal.
Well thought out, on the other hand, always seem contrived, mechanical and even creepy.
you must be very intelligent....
well-thought out approach can be so mechanical & if the woman has heard the scheme before, the whole plot fails even before it takes off. nah, I can always rely on my wits to sail me through & it's never failed me.
Richiy: Confidence is when I see a genuinely and well thought out approach. Not something by the roadside to prove you are "man enough". Doesn't freak me Walahi.
what's a well-thought approach is subjective! smart guys know what to say & how to play the situation to their advantage. i have never been told off so i am 100% sure my scheme is tight!
Messilistic: Someone ones sed its my confidence and aura. thing is I get along extremely well with almost everyone i come accross. I am very likeable on the long run. Not in first contact I guess. back in Uni days, had room mates who dint like my first appearance but till today we are best of frnds. Someone actually called me a snub and the honest truth is I dint even know who the person was. So i'm guessing its something about my first appearances
tell us more about your appearance.... height, size, and other vital stats.
Richiy: Anyways, that is not my ideal kinda display of confidence. It may be stereotypical but that does not show confidence to me.
OasisofRefuge: i cant believe i lost a young uncle due to lack of money to give him proper treatment. an uncle who is just like an elder brother to me. we prayed, but God refuse to help us and there was no money to save him. do you think prayers actually works? does God actually answer prayers? why cant he help if he can? why cant i get a job despite all my efforts ? why are things not working? few days ago, i was sad and thought maybe i should go get a sugar daddy who can pay all my bills, but deep down in me, i know i cant. what do you do when you keep praying and no answer?
prayer works but God isn't a magician.
like you said, your uncle wasn't able to get the quality treatment needed, God wouldn't come down & dash quality treatment. God help those who are determined to help themselves first. give it your best effort then ask God to complete the task. don't sit down there without making any effort and then expect God to put in all the effort for you - life doesn't work that way.
Richiy: I don't know what would make a man sight a woman and walk straight up to her to say his "mind". Is it love at first sight? Lust at first sight? or just irresponsiblity?
it's called balls!
if i see a gadget i like, i walk up to the store & make it mine without delay. if i see a woman i like, it's mandatory for me to approach her & say my mind. women love men with confidence & i mean classy women not the mgbeke breeds you often encounter in lagos with mannerless antics.
Messilistic: What really stops u from approachin a lady? Som say they are not intimidated. Agreed. For those who consider a lady intimidating on her first appearance, what are your reasons? Someone jst told me I am. And I find it hard to believe, cos I really am a warm person.. Opinions pls
Pennywise: No ambiguity here. Not all women come with vagaina. Some like you come with small dyck thinking they can do what we do.
you see still exhibiting the traits of a photosensitive epileptic patient. so you think yourself a man with the swag of a walnut you possess? about 400 years ago, your type would be offered to the gods of the land cos you are bïtch-made.
Au revoir for now. In an hour from now, i will be available to tell you how it is unfortunately it will be with cell fone yet again
i'd be waiting - if you survive the verbal assault of the first one hour, i would swallow my vomit & apologise that you are a real man.
come with everything you have got.....you can borrow more from friends & family too. i need me some target-practise. i am getting rusty.
Pennywise: This is so unlike tpia. Cautious, civil, almost respectful. This dyck killer is almost giving me an eerection. I am tempted to open a thread proclaiming 'the taming of tipia'. But if I did that she will just go back to her old ways.
i am tpia' fiancé ...... open such a thread & i'd have your intestines fed to ebola-infected dogs in Freetown.
tpia is taken.
Or she is doing her best to keep this thread going . But I dont see this discourse doing three pages by the way. She will trip and I will have no choice but to incinerate her thread. Things have become fairly predictable btw us. I pity the moderator who will have the task of looking post by post and deciding what to delete and what to leave. If its any reassurance, I am here today with my church mind.
she's now taken & i have been working on her anger management. no more shots throwing at faceless earthlings on the internet. however, you must understand rehabilitation is a gradual process so do not provoke her to unleash expletives.
TV01: It's nothing - have I had to resist to bloodshed? They are mere miscreants, slightly irritable. If my master was persecuted, how much more a mere disciple like me?
The exact right word "toting" - anyone can tote a gun, only a few can actually handle it correctly, let alone shoot straight - they are few and far between on the board.
They simply cannot touch Mrs TV01 - not in pedigree, heritage, character, demeanor, graciousness or beauty. My delightful wife epitomises all that deep down they aspire to be, but even deeper down realise they can never attain to.
How can an admixture of desperate and ageing singles, bitter and lonely divorcees, plain-faced lesbians (yes, I know !)low brow, low rent, low class and low bred, damaged & limping, treadless purveyors of slut-ho doctrines even stand
I spare them for the most part, because that's what she would exhort me to do. Did I mention righteous
As for my kids? I'll wait till I see theirs. Chances are their eggs will remain frozen instead of fertilised
I shall contine to speak the truth and stand for the best interest of strong families and a flourishing society. Afterall, it's the family section no?
