Even after the deed is done, getting to the root of the matter is always hard. Here at Afromnia, we’re looking at some facts about Ebonylife’s Blood Sister. Let’s get the ball rolling.

1. In the final cut of "Blood Sisters", Ini Dima-Okojie plays the role of Sarah while Nancy Isime plays the role of Kemi. But initially, they both auditioned for each other’s roles.
2. Ini had earlier auditioned for Timeyin, Kemi and Sara before she was later chosen for Sarah.
3. Ramsey Noah’s character had more dialogue in the original script. But director Biyi Bamidele made him speak less.
4. Gabriel was originally meant to play the journalist but the person meant to play the character, Femi Ademola, pulled out for personal reasons. So, the switch became easier.
5. Blood Sisters was an in-house family idea affair. The idea actually came from Temidayo Abudu, Mo Abudu’s daughter.
6. In one of Blood Sister's most theatrical scenes, we see a batcher in Makoko get razed to the ground. That wasn't CGI ( Computer Generate Image) they actually burnt it down.
7. The cast, Sarah and Kemi played by Ini-Dima Okojie and Nancy Isime did all their own driving and their own stunts with the help of an experienced coordinator. Ramsey Noah (Uncle B ) and Deyemi Okanlawon (Kola ) also participated in their own stuntwork, although all the actors had stunt doubles to support them.
8. One of the directors flew from New York on another movie that was later postponed. Biyi Bandele, the director of Half of A Yellow Sun was in writing fellowship in New York when he was invited for the unnamed movie that Netflix eventually postponed.
9. Blood sisters’ story was developed around 2018 and 2019.
10. Genoveva Umeh was a student at Ebonylife Creative Academy when the second director, Kenneth Gyang (director for Oloture), invited her to the role of Timeyin.

Gadafii:
Oga Rambo was unnecessary lousy, he just Dey shout dey bark like dog without action

As a correct drug lord you are not expected to say plenty words or even shout except on rare occasions, maybe your warehouse got bursted or lost huge sum, small thing he don dey bark dey punch peoples, even his lieutenant would have done well in that role

I imagined odunlade adekoka for that kind role, he for make sense pass

Above all the movie make sense

Have you seen Gringo?

Olam09:
No be you go tell me all this, I'm a playwright and i watched the tv. Scrutinizing every of it's content. Because I'm about to use it as a guide for my new Nigeria Highschool movie.

And I am a scriptwriter and a novelists, but not everyone on earth are looking for this things. So, calm down oga Olam...

cedricksly:
honestly u read my mind... I do think I have nothing to say anymore, you've spoken my mind in totality... This op no get work

Your comments shows that you also don't know about places like WatchMojo...

emperordelis:
It's a Netflix production series...So much hype around it which I totally understand,but someone sitting down to write 15 things he/she thought people missed from the series is just baffling..

That's because you've not heard of sites like WatchMojo. Dey play...

Ishaya, Oga Rambo, Government, and the many crazy things on the way to success. Here are 15 things you missed. Spoilers Ahead o.
1. Did you notice that Reggie getting Zina flowers wasn't random? At various points in the show, he watched her as she was excited when other people got flowers. Yeah Love in the air!

2. In other news, remember when Ishaya was bold to request for iPhone from someone that almost fed him to Angel? Well, he got his wishes as Government bought him iPhone 12 Promax.

3. They avoided showing the pole dancers' faces. Smart choice.

4. Carmen's long socks look fashionable but are not there to make her look fashionable; it was there to conceal the scars on her legs.

5. After revealing her greatest secret and fear to the world, Carmen drops her socks to show that she embraces her scars. Like Oga Rambo, she entered like Jaganban

6. However, before all that happened, did you notice the matching pairs of earrings to show Carmen and Nenna are best friends?

7. Have you noticed Carmen wears brooches with the shapes of insects like bees, dragonflies, and beetle? But butterflies are her favourite. Sometimes, she used it to adorn other things, like her locker's designs. They signify positive transformation, hope during a dark time, or a new beginning.

8. Carmen wasn't in the same class as her friends because of her accident. A trace back to the toilet indicated she had missed a year.

9. In case you don't know, Wilmer Academy is not a real college but a fictitious representation of a Pre-Versity setting in preparation for Ivy League Universities. So, if you're wondering why they wear uniforms, it's normal.

10. Also, the social and Fintech app, Blink is not real.

11. Lastly, Frankees is not real. But you should know that Frankees is derived from Frank. Yeah! So, you see, it's not real. You saw Logos for both Wilmer Academy and Frankees everywhere, right? It just goes to show how much effort they put into making it all real.

12. Denrele's recording of Frank's agony in the bathroom didn't happen by chance. He has been secretly looking for something to implicate Ishaya, like when he wanted to record Ishaya and Carmen after the class.

13. While we know that Frank bought the Kindle Pad for Rahila, you might have missed where he was planning to buy one for her.

14. You only know Liz Ajanaku as an Art lover and artist, but did you know that she was in love with someone called Woz? Who Woz is, we might never know.

15. Ishaya's earring is not a mere suggestion. It was actually a copycat of his Idol, Essien.
Bonus point: The symbolism of caging the wild beast was shown when Oga Rambo was caged. Meanwhile, the hyena was real.

They jumped me.

When I was in Primary 5, a new girl came to school, Olawunmi, my first love actually. I was hurrying to drop my bag in the class (as Chief latecomer) when the headmaster asked the school to read the multiplication table and Olawunmi missed a part as brilliant as she was.
Infuriated, the headmaster hurriedly smacked her and she shouted "they jumped me".

The principal sparked and spoke at length on why parents should never make pupils jump class because of situations like this.

However, what Olawunmi meant was that the class missed one of the numbers ( which they did).

I learnt two things that day- I will never allow double promotion.
And I had to protect Olawunmi.
We went on become closer and always fought for first with First or Second position. Junior and Ahmed battled for third and fourth.
Two of us represented school together. Eventually, secondary separated us and far away from each other's mind but the progress mentality never left.
Double promotion helps no one, especially the child who many will see not fully formed no matter how brilliant they were.

LarrySun:
Congratulations, bro. More wins.

Amen ooo. Thanks

afribabe:

Hpesoj:

When tragedy strikes on an auspicious day, something is definitely wrong...


Idaajo Akeeke is my first of 10 scripts I wrote for the Yoruba industry. I'm just so excited it's out now.
