SAMBARRY:
bet the book version didn't offend sensibilities? If you want to do film out of a book kuku do everything 100percent and those who don't like it won't like it after all in every movie no matter how perfect it seems you will still see some people criticizing it.abeg jare make una no dey carry hypocrisy enter fim. E no offend sensibilities inside book but it can offend inside film? Really?


So why did they say seeing is believing. They are in the business ofake belief o jare so it's their job to make me believe

U don't want Chimamanda t recover her expenses abi U don't want the producer to get returns shey?? cos d population that should normally see the movie is reduced due to the high age ratings.
Abeg leave d matter.
you've read d book, use ur imagination, afterall,imagination has no restrictions.

SAMBARRY:
so what are they called motion picture or performing arts or make belief. Isn't it to capture the nitty gritty of everything ni

yea..but not to unnecessarily offend the sensibilities of people out there.



even the fight scenes in graphic movies like Kill Bill1 had to be toned down.

elantraceey:



I'm against divorce but in this case that's the only way out for you , A married woman wearing butt pad against her husbands' wish , who is she trying to impress?


But op be honest , you saw some of these signs before you married her right?

As in eh...
frankly, some guys deserve some sense knocked into them.
were you blind the 2 years u dated that u didn't see these attitudes
...n u were busy fighting with her to the point of creating a show for the neighbors...
waiting for the neighborhood feminists to show up n tear u apart make I laff.


p.s..for the sake of the child, split
That is NO atmosphere for a child to develop in.

SAMBARRY:
they didn't really capture the koko of the novel o jare

ah ah now..
if they had, it would've been rated X, or at least R24.



Novel is just too graphic.

Most Cutest
ok o.







Nairalanders, murdering English since 2006

SAMBARRY:
part of it but the film wasn't even captivating

Am guessing you've read the novel..


sorely disappointing in comparison sha, but..

SAMBARRY:
acting was just there joor


driving all the way to lekki to watch the movie in genesis deluxe only to be disappointed. Them no try joor.i rate the film 3/10

Is the long drive part of the poor rating
abeg 6/10...they tried in a way.




I wonder wat you'll score INVASION1897 if u were to watch it.

SAMBARRY:
Half of a yellow sun




I had high expectations of the movie but they just ended badly. No captivating scenes or humour at all. Every thing was just dry



after all the hyping

overhyped movie
not the worst tho

acting was on point.

INVASION1897
Just thinking about the movie and the money spent on it talkless of the embarrassment it made of our history makes me just wanna Hurt somebody
or beta yet ,go after the director with my grandpops old hunting rifle.





now I don dey vex again.

Nairalanders sha...

@madam o.p, your husband got lands to secure his sons future doesn't in anyway mean he isn't planning for his (as well) daughters future.
Land in the African context is very important and Stays in the family, hence it is Usually passed on to the males who will. 'carry on the family name'.
I personally don't see the issue with that.

The man also seems like one trying to secure his family's future..he's got 2houses (~2 land areas), but also saw it fit t provide 1for u in case....

Ur insistence to build a plaza for YOUR daughters even after he has explained his reasons why smacks of unnecessary competitiveness and dubious motives. why a plaza and not houses,or an estate or something??
Why not discuss with him and make him see reasons by whatever means u know how to.
Did u even ask wat plans he has to secure his daughters future.



I honestly think the o.p is fighting a proxy war using the daughters as an excuse.

Beware of those telling you to involve the external family into something that can be resolved very simply internally.

#advicesareusuallycheaperthantheyaresold.



Peace

She should have accepted.
Whether her husband is playing a smart one on her is kinda immaterial here, besides d only way to know would have been t call his bluff n agreed t his suggestion.
she can always find an excuse to back out later.

Her running scared can & will b interpreted in d negative (she is/planning to/doesn't trust herself not to cheat).

Funny situation tho...

In these days of body magic and waist shapers,
I reserve my wow.

SAMBARRY:
Male gra gra-egoistical I'm a man so I know it all issh



And yes that's exactly my point. You're married and so you should know BETTER than what you typed this one no be m vs f matter na all these teenagers that are on holiday that are basterdizing nl family section and o yes I receive the hug

Better than what I typed
wat part??
that she shouldn't jump to hasty conclusions?
that she should talk to her husband??
or that she should be careful of advices she gets here
read d post again n mine as well, d o.p doesn't even have enough circumstantial evidence to Conclude her husband is cheating..n yet she's here crying wolf n peeps are jumping on d usual bandwagon.

She should handle the situation@hand;he's reaching out/communication with the lady in question and Not getting ahead of herself, crying about wat she May be wrong about...and am talking from the view of a married person.


typically of NL, first 3comments n divorce is already bin bandied about.


anyway,all join.


Peace...like I said b4 , No beef

**hands over the peace pipe*

SAMBARRY:
Don't give me that male gra gra.im not buying it. try next bus top



secondly you got married recently and posted your wedding pictures where everyone congratulated you and wished you a happy married life including me some time ago so on that basis I'm using to type that. You ve been married for a while so you know what marriage looks like from your point of view
.Thank you

which one is male gra gra here

Yes, am married now n so I know d dynamics are different...and I also know as well that tins are not always as clear cut as they seem.
It's quite simple wat I told d o.p, weed d advices here..the married will understand and advice u beta.
Too much m vs f ish here.

No beef okay...
#sidehugs

SAMBARRY:
So if they are just friends and old flames are not brewing why are they calling each other sweet heart etc? Shebi you're a new groom yourself and you have your own fair share of women issh.so you don't know when fire is on the mountain abi? Smh

anyway op

First of all, U don't know me, so don't ascribe ish u don't know to me. If ur having such issues in ur relationship,kpele..but that is UR own wahala.

secondly, anybody can call anyone else terms of endearment, It depends on d CONTEXT of the conversation.
thirdly, seeing a conversation where terms like sweetheart was used n he promised her money, will it be Unreasonable to infer that, possibly, one party is requesting for help from the oda(financial)

Point is, since it's difficult for y'all to understand, her Jumping to conclusions that the husband is cheating at this point is very hasty .

If she has issues, call him, talk, lay down the rules if necessary, not running down to NL screaming 'Why are men like this'..aka He's cheating.

p.s;I Always say it as it is. u either like it or u don't. Not my problème.







sidenote, inspirational books are all good n dandy but they can never take the place of reality



Peace.

Shirley07:
You expected a reaction, you got it dumbass.
What were you expecting when you said Nl went haywire because an husband is seeing an old friend? You really stink of stupidity.

u really do lack comprehension.
Not everyone seeks attention on NL. I've got all the attention I need in reality

I do pray u attain some sense this year...fruitless prayer I know, but we can only hope.

You've got your daily attention dose..... Enjoy


@o.p..sorry for derailing

Shirley07:
You obviously didn't read the Op. Better still, you got eyes problem.

The friend is in quote..dum dum.

Exposing ur ignorance so early in the year.

chival:
@chibic: nah, it may look that way but it isn't necessarily so. I still remember the shock I felt when a friend of mine said to me "...afterall we all cheat." The thing is the bad gets talked about so much that the good seems to dwindle into obscurity.

There are many good marriages and faithful couples out there.

True dat...
Bad news they say is the sweetest.
we ignore the good

...he reconnects with an old 'friend' and d general assumption from the wise NL family is that he is cheating.
@first consideration, don't u think a cheating husband would have been smart enuff t cover his tracks especially knowing u have his password.

@o.p, wisdom doesn't act with sentiments nor assumptions..n making wahala now especially if it turns out to b false accusations will only work contrary.

You're the 'madam', call ur husband, tell him ur grievances, lay the rules down if needs be,esp concerning the lady in question.

keep in mind, Most ppl advising u here aren't married as well.
Be wise



'nuff said

If That is human blood, then that Dishonorable has NO REASON to be walking the streets right now.
He should have been arrested as soon as that video surfaced!



Human blood!!!
Lord have Mercy.













.....n some of u asses should learn to call a spade a spade.
Not everything is APC vs PDP

DopeAngel:
smh... What ridiculous news...

assessing..... .... .. ~52










not surprisingly

Blakjewelry:
All these our neighboring countries are not to be trusted. Chad, Cameroon and the silent killer Niger. I have observed that any day Nigerian army killed 100 bh guys that same Cameroonian army will 101 bh.

There's far more to this boko haram insurgency than meets the eye.
It seems our neighbors are fostering the instability for possible political/economic gains, co-opting it as a ?proxy war against the country.
The earlier the government realises that n takes appropriate actions in that regard, the better.
Our neighbors are a Major part of the problem.




I mean, releasing imprisoned b.h leaders n 'dashing' dem millions in dollars t boost their war effort as Cameroon did, can be seen as an act of war.


'Nuff said

iluvweed:
There are only 3 tribes in Nigeria

Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa

The rest are immigrants from sambisa ...

...and the current state of d country is what we get in return

o.k then

doctokwus:
U can tell a man's ability by his antecedents. This is a man who was corruption personified as obiokpor LGA chairman. This is a man who didn't understand his job description as education minister,supervening over one of d longest strikes during his short reign in d ministry.i
Even this his romance wt Dame Patience, do u think it wud last.Assuming d worse happens and both sides win,at best halfway into his tenure when he realises he has a possible 2nd tenure while gej has none,he wudnt b taking her instructions as he is now and u and i know,when u challenge someone as unrefined as d first lady,who in her heart of hearts feels she's actually occupying an exalted office,things tend to get ugly pretty fast.Remember also d other ethnic nationalities in rivers state are already bitter over d seeming usurpation of d seat by d ikwerres.I have genuine fears for a wike led Rivers state. Its like igniting a time bomb.As for him being d man of d moment,dats neither here nor there.

Hate it or love it, and as disheartening as it may sound, Wike IS the Man of the moment.
There is no one@present that can pose an adequate challenge to him.
Dakuku, as wonderful a candidate as he is, doesn't have the political weight/clout/pull to oppose him.
Dakukus hopes were largely banked on Amaechis political structure, but even that right now, with d rumors abt Amaechis disillusionment with APC, is neither here nor there.
It's also a pity, that the state has always voted parties not candidates.


Concerning his romance with Dame Patie , u cannot put two ppl with egos the size of elephants in d same boat n not expect it to capsize.. might b fun to watch wen d meltdown occurs.

finally,like I said b4, time will tell.
All we can do is pray, observe and vote our conscience.

doctokwus:
His statement,though politically I'll timed, wud av really been economically correct and forward thinking if he was actually thinking along dat line.But wike,being true to type in d statement said he wud retrench d teachers because many of them are not rivers state indigenes. In otherwords,he wud replace this present set with his own stooges,most likely party members who campaigned for him.Don't know about d other candidates but voting wike in wud b d biggest mistake made by people of rivers state.I can bet anything that within a yr of a wine governorship, people wud start complaining and there wud b falling outs with party faithfuls.D man is not just suitable for office.

True as ur last statement may be, he is the Man of the moment.
His candidature actually presents more problems than it solves, but even the national pdp is in a quagmire on how to stop/settle him.
Concerning his suitability tho, only time will tell.

aisha2:
This isnt fair. Bloggers concocting lies and passing it out as facts to gullible Nigerians.

We will never understand the impact of lies and rumours till it happens to us.
People are so vicious.

It's true.
I know the family quite well.



irrelevant though..
wat has this got to do with good governance

docadams:
The choice of Tompolo's cousin has dampened the ethusiasm that greeted Okowa's emergence as governorship candidate. Ironically and depressingly, Tompolo is gradually emerging as the new face of godfatherism in Delta political landscape.

Dangerously so...

we only need to look to Mexico to fear the future.

WhiteTechnology:
If true, the guy shot his ..........


Power must go round


Its the turn of Ogonis = Asari Dokunbo

Fat lot of good it did them.
The Ogonis should learn how to play politics the way it's played here, so they won't lose out both ways as it tends towards now.

@post.. I actually admire him for bin upfront n honest.
Truth is,Most of these Amaechis actions are Not sustainable n the next governor,whoever he'll be, will probably stop/reverse them.

No matter how much I dislike him, why should I criticize him f bin honest n upfront with me.

#that'sjustmesha

Boys of today are just pitiful .
Bunch of metrosexual feminine looking ponzes that come with pussy whipped crap like dis thread.

Back in the days, when boys were boys, you'll probably get ur ass kicked for this dickless move.

Man up son... This is unbecoming.



laws...this is soo annoying. Boys of today are just pitiful .

Why would an artiste bother wen all he needs do is get a catchy phrase n a danceable beat and ur in....dorobucci, ogaranya,shoki, d list goes on.

meanwhile, d uncelebrated keep churning out good music..brymo, Jesse jagz, asa...also a couple of mainstream like Banky W, Phyno (d only artiste to make Igbo language sound sexy), n my personal fav, Burna boy.


Anyway, wat do u expect wen d focus is wrong..peeps makin music f d fame&fortune, Not f d Love.

Politics has and is a game of self interest.
The next couple of weeks is gonna be interesting..defections,shifting alliances n all.
Wike is probably going to pick a riverine deputy n Dagogo is simply positioning himself as necessary.




p.s;rumors 've it pdp is yet to accept Wikes candidature. How true is that.
