It’s a wonderful Happy New Year from me to you guys!!! It’s the 5th Day of the first month in the year 2019 and it gives me so much joy knowing that the first blogpost of the year is on one of my favorite things to do – see movies. So, today’s post is not just any movie review but Netflix’s First Original Film from Nigeria, Lion Heart – a Directorial debut of one of Nigeria and Africa’s finest actor, Genevieve Nnaji. Suffice it to say that I’ve been a Genevieve Nnaji fan since Blood Sisters and Sharon Stone days through Letters to A Stranger, Warrior’s Heart, Ije, Tango with Me, Half of a Yellow Sun, etc. and I must say that it has been a enjoyable privilege watching her and being inspired. This is one woman whose effortless and ageless beauty, delivery and gestures keeps you glued each time she graces the screen. More so, it’s her 20 years Anniversary in Nollywood and it’s a hearty congratulations from here to this Queen who has done exceedingly well for herself, the industry and the country at large. I celebrate, adore and admire her and I wish her all the beautiful things life has to offer her and her career in another 20 years!

So, Lion Heart. . .
If you have read my reviews before, you’ll know they are always detailed and different from the normal reviews (I don’t know why! So, I guessed, that’s why I try to call them Dilations) nonetheless I try as much as possible not to give too much spoilers cos I really cannot help spoilers.

Plot
Precisely, Lion Heart tells the story of the Obiagus and their transport business. Lion Heart Transport Company goes through a financial crisis that could cripple the company if a quick save is not found. The Chairman of the Company, Chief Ernest Obiagu (played by Pete Edochie) suffers a health breakdown that hinders him from performing his official responsibilities and in order to keep the company running in his absence, he puts his brother, Chief Godswill Obiagu (played by Nkem Owoh) who happens to be the MD of the Owerri Headquarters of the company in his stead as Acting MD. This decision doesn’t sit well with Adaeze Obiagu (played by Genevieve Nnaji), who is the Director of Logistics and Operations and also happens to be the daughter of Chief Ernest Obiagu. Having worked side by side with her father for 7 years, she couldn’t understand how and why her father would choose her Uncle as Acting MD over her. Apparently, Adaeze isn’t the only one disappointed by this choice, an insecure Samuel Akah (played by Kalu Ikeagwu) who is the Director of Engineering Services and who constantly feels threatened by Adaeze is also displeased. In the long run, Adaeze is faced with a N950 million naira debt incurred by her father and also saddled with the responsibility of saving her father’s company alongside her Uncle, Godswill Obiagu who contrary to her fear of being usurped and displaced helped her in achieving her plans to save the company.

My two cents/Attractions
This is a wonderful directorial debut and movie. I must say that I was spellbound with the excellent cinematography, shots and scenery. To say it is not close to anything I’ve seen in Nollywood before won’t be an exaggeration and the cast were magnificent. Let me say that the casting was one of the top reasons I looked forward to the movie – from Nkem Owoh to Kanayo O. Kanayo who played Igwe Pascal to Onyeka Onwenu (who got me hooked on her acting since Half of a Yellow Sun) and most importantly, Pete Edochie who is known for his proverbs, witty sayings, facial expressions and delivery like no other in Nollywood. I was also thrilled to see one of my favorite Nollywood Queens, Ngozi Ezeonu, she’s such a thrill and it is also noteworthy to say that Phyno wasn’t such a bad actor at all and even the one time appearance of Peter Okoye was awesome. I love that Genevieve tried flaunting her music prowess in our face in that scene. Most importantly, this movie is one that was very intentional about details. The technicality employed was awesome – from Enugu to Kano; the transpositions between scenes and locales was flawless and detailed, even to the soundtrack.
I know I can never exhaust all the wonderful things there is to this movie and of a fact, people will continue to write on the superb technicality that makes this film a total hands down but there are other things that everyone may not talk about. . .
For me, Genevieve Nnaji did an amazing job taking #igbototheworld. The creation of dialogues in Igbo language was the peak for me, I mean, if you gonna go up, you gotta go all the way up right? The version I watched had no subtitle and mhen, it didn’t matter. Although I wished my understanding of Igbo was lit but I felt really high on the Igbo dialogues (especially the dining table scene). It is undoubtedly true that Igbo language is one with a worldwide appeal; you don’t believe? You should read African Fictions often. The way Nkem Owoh kept referring to Pete Edochie as “Odogwu!” was just sweet but this wasn’t the real high for me. The real high for me was the feministic appeal this movie has. It won’t be wrong for me to say that Genevieve Nnaji has always been one person who identifies with feminism as this film not only gives recognition to the girl child, it celebrates femaleness and the girl child through the character, Adaeze and Onyeka Onwenu too.
Onyeka Onwenu as a mom and wife held her family together by being there for her two children, supporting them, sensitive to their needs, encouraging them, their dreams, making sure their self-esteem is healthy, supporting and caring for herself, her husband, her in-laws, household, etc. There was a part where she said “I never come between two brothers.” and the moment she came in to drag Adaeze away from the room because she knew she wouldn’t stop discussing business with her resting husband. She’s aware!

Favourites
Y’all know I always have favourites. . .
Scenes/Quotes
Onyeka Onwenue - “Don’t slouch. Common, let’s go talk. Your Uncle is just here to supervise. . . my daughter, a second hand always helps. . .I’m sure he has his reasons. . .”

Genevieve Nnaji - “If obiora were in my shoes. . .”

Onyeka Onwenue – “Sit up and then shut up! Your father loves and appreciates you and you know it, his reasons have nothing to do with you being a woman. Ozugo! Your Uncle is just here to support you . . .

That moment Nkem Owoh walked in and said “. . .and support I shall.”

“Look Adanna, if you want to spray insecticides on cockroaches, snakes and scorpions, you get yourself a vantage position.” – Nkem Owoh

Onyeka Onwenue - “look at you!

Nkem Owoh – “Handsome galigali”

Genevieve - “Uncle, Daddy is resting.”

Nkem Owoh – “let me go and rest with him.”

Nkem Owoh - “Adanna, is that your voice. You! Bribe?”

Genevieve - “Uncle, this is different!”

Nkem Owoh: “So, you do your arrest by arithmetic. One man, one woman!”

“God never gives you a burden He has not equipped you to carry. You have your father’s business brains. You are a business woman. Do away with the sentiments ad the emotions and get the job done. You have it in you. Dig deep andn get it. You’ve always been able to do anything you put your mind to. You can do this.” – Onyeka Onwenue

Pete Edochie - “Get out of the seat. . . Your continued stay is an extension of your irrelevance. Could you leave please?” (Kai! This one is the bazooka of everything! Thank you Pete Edochie for always killing it! Your acting was everything! Poised. Smooth. Concise. Face game – always lit).

“Ewo Agbomma. . . born baby!” (Nkem Owoh killed me walahi). . .

“I’m Onyinye, leaving!” This scene was sweet and silly at the same time

The dance and music – Phyno, Genevieve, Pete Edochie and Onyeka Onwenue gave us some long-throat and never should stop moment at the closing scene as they dance with so much class and grace to Obagu!

“’I’ve come to realize that most men invest their time in matters of transient value at the expense of what they should cherish, what they should value like love, life, family. I waited 8 years for you to be born. Those are years of trepidation and you came and you became a source of pride and joy to me. I’ve watched you grow and I’m so confident in your ability. The biggest legacy I will leave for posterity is you, my daughter. I’m not thinking about death but Marie Corelli said in the midst of life we are in death, so, usually when we talk about life, there’s always death hovering around. You’re the pendulum of my life, if you stop swinging, then I’m gone! I’m proud of you, you mean so much to me.” – Pete Edochie (This is the sweetest thing ever! Every girl deserves to hear this! This is for every girl)

Reservations
Storyline - I expected more. More like, I expected a ghenghen sturv because it’s Genevieve, number one and two because of the hype. This is not to say that the movie is not amazing, trust me, it is! But the storyline was just there – not really spectacular kinda and not really deep. I mean, at a very early point, I could tell how the story was gonna end and along the line it became a cliché sort of when Nkem Owoh walked into that scene where Hamza Maikano was about to be duped by two Igbo men and then he saved the day! I knew right there that they were gonna meet again and he was probably gonna be the solution to the menace created by Pete Edochie. In short, I could say the storyline didn’t quite keep me glued but the characters like Pete Edochie and his facial expressions and proverbs, Onyeka Onwenu’s flawless delivery and diction, Nkem Owoh’s ability to make even the slightest utterance comic, Jemima Osunde’s unhidden awe for Genevieve Nnaji (her Madam), the scenery, the soundtrack and the Igbo language.
2. Realism? – Okay, this is still about that Nkem Owoh – Hamza Maikano scene. First of all, Nkem Owoh is not familiar with Peter Okoye’s house and he was supposed to wait for Genevieve outside and then at a point, it felt like he was following the lady that supposedly caught his attention only to find himself coincidentally in the room where Hamza Maikano was being duped. Second of all, it was obvious that those guys were trying to dupe Hamza because by dressing, looks and the use of an interpreter (definitely because the other Igbo man is supposedly uneducated enough to speak English), Hamza is an Hausa man but then, that’s even not the point, the point is, how real is it that Nkem Owoh walked out unscathed, unbeaten, having spoilt business for those guys? I mean, they had no guns, no knife, nothing! How real is it that people would run that kind of business and not be armed? Even if it has been a seamless business run over the years – and then the other guy was like right behind Nkem Owoh as if he wanted to hurt him but he did nothing. The craziest part was that Genevieve walked in too, I mean, how did she know to look for him there? (Just my thoughts) and then she was like, Uncle, let’s go and just like that, they left.
- The Police Station scene too (there is something off about it) and please, is it weird that I noticed that Genevieve Nnaji wasn’t really wearing Jemima’s clothes and vice versa cos I believed the Costumier definitely made two pieces each cos they really don’t have the same body size and type (this is just on a lighter note).


Conclusion: This is a movie of its own kind and class – not one to be put side by side another for comparison or contrast. It celebrates
nationalism (the story builds on the historical rough relationship between the Igbos and the Hausas and this was shown in a scene where Chief Obiagu was hesitant about merging with Maikano motors because of the tribe and another where Alhaji Danladi Maikano came to meet him and there was a long silence before he broke kolanuts and the more he tried, the more brick wall he met with Obiagu until he spoke Hausa and Obiagu responded in Hausa and he was surprised and then he goes “ka na jin Hausa?” and then everything became smooth from there enough that he referred to him as “my brother” at the second to the last scene.)
the girl child, women supporting and admiring women (the healthy relationship between Onyinye and Adaeze) and it also rewrites the conventional narration of the boy child always being interested in the family business/business in general as Obiora (Phyno) was more interested in his music than his father’s business which was everything to Adaeze (Genevieve Nnaji).
Healthy family – let me say, every girl child deserves a father like Chief Ernest Obagu and a mother like Onyeka Onwenue. As a father, Obagu was sensitive to his daughter’s feelings and well being. “. . .I know that she’s not happy and I can understand why. . .” Also, an Uncle like Chief Godswill Obagu I mean, an Uncle who won’t hesitate to punch a nincompoop for you and cover your boobs with a newspaper while you slay a pervert with your Harvard knowledge! Go, family goals.
culture, values, natural hair, humour (thank you Nkem Owoh for the effortless humour). . ., the list is endless.
In all, this is a movie for the girl child that says she has value, she’s is order, restoration, she’s passionate, smart, intelligent and every good thing they don’t hear often like how speedily ticking and ticklish their biological clock is.

Lessons/Notes from the movie
Two good heads are always better than one. – Adaeze sustained her father’s business and proved herself when it matters most and even beat deadlines because she allowed herself to share and receive ideas. The journey is always easier when you run with and alongside someone.

Be open minded about receiving help - Help is not always competitive and it doesn’t undermine your strength and ability to survive and pull through all by yourself.

An enemy is not always a stranger; He’s a kinsman. Igwe Pascal tried taking over Lion Heart and was almost successful with the help of another kinsman/brother, Samuel who gladly invited an enemy in for his own selfish gains. In other words, love and loyalty is not by tribe.

A Healthy family is a treasure and it’s not overrated. Likewise, fatherhood is important in every girl child’s life. Thanks to the characters of Pete Edochie and Onyeka Onwenue for showing what a healthy family should be and means.

A great, fierce and stable support system is everything – self-believe is great but there are moments you will need other people to believe in you to find your self-believe again in moments of doubts. A great and fierce support system keeps a woman on the high and with that, it’s easy for her to become all that she hoped to be and more. Onyeka Onwenue and Nkem Owoh were examples of that for Adaeze. The merger that saved the company was all Nkem Owoh’s idea and even though he brought the plans, he allowed her to execute it and reaffirmed his trust in her by telling her. He didn’t try to usurp her. . . “Adanna, you will discuss with this man alone, I will stay on the flank. . . Look, you’re a leader. He is a leader. Leadership is not easy. . .” And the beautiful thing is, knowing they’ll always be there for her is such a treasure.

Allow people to try. Encourage. Don’t discourage. Don’t rubbish people’s plans. Don’t shove suggestions down people’s throats. Allow them to come to a place of understanding what you suggest; if they want to take it or not. Nkem Owoh allowed Genevieve try and exhaust her options before he tabled his suggestion again and even in the process of trying it her way, he was down for her all the way! Don’t make people look stupid for trying out their plans, let them discover the reality or the lack thereof. . . “The major thing is to understand at your own time. . .” Nkem Owoh.

Maturity and experience is not always underrated for expertise – Sometimes, what makes expertise isn’t just book knowledge or smartness but maturity and experience. When Adaeze finally received her Uncle’s suggestion, she wanted to place a call to meet Maikano but he told her No and told her how to do things properly.

Be open minded about love – Love is not always dressed in Akpoche, Agbada, Iro and Buba, etc. Love is creating familiarity in unfamiliar places. Never say never.

Collaborate – sometimes, it takes coming together with someone else to make magic to expand, discover and rediscover the depths of you, your dreams, your abilities and more! Collaboration (Merger) is not just a one-time save but could be a lifetime savings! You don’t always have to make magic alone; explore the dynamics of your magic.

Rating: I’d rate this movie a 9/10 and will I see it again? Definitely! The little glitches in the storyline are nothing compared to the total delivery of the movie. I’ll see this movie again for its richness, depth and technical expertise. Congratulations Queen Nnaji on this one!
Till I come your way again, I remain

Terrible advice. Why the ultimatum and finality? So if he is poor she won't marry him? He should just leave her and marry a much saner human being who doesn't believe in living off another human being. A lady with prestige and honour

Please download the series "Black Mirror" and see the effect of technology

If a police man asks to see my phone, I don't see any reason why I would refuse to give him.

I give them my phone to check anytime cos I've got nothing to hide, if you refuse to obey them you just gave them authorization to apply force.

It took me a while to understand the police, before you leave your house search yourself 3 times.

And you think this is normal? Bro. This is absurd and we should not be used to such.

These yeyebrities should not let this campaign become a joke. There was no SARS as at 2005.

He said plain clothes policemen. Who wears plain clothes with AK 47 Rifle. Anti robbery squad. CID uses 9mm pistol.

HRHQueenPhil:
the red signs for men are d following
1. does not like to take responsibility
2. cannot keep to his words no matter how small
3. always ready to fight or yell esp wen in traffic or his car is scratched by anoda
4. sees going to church services esp mid week ones or bible study/house fellowship as a waste of time and agrees with FREEZE
5. often complains when u add weight and likes taking selfies of himself half naked
6. when you cannot seat and have a meaningful conversation for 1 hour without going for ur bra
7. when he dosent seem to value your opinion or ask for it
8. when he dosent like to hold ur hand, kiss you or touch u esp wen his friends are there (could be GAY)

I am an atheist, will that make me a bad husband and an irresponsible dad? Most of your assumptions here are faulty. But I think you are joking sha

The evening is calm and darkness has swallowed the sun. The wind is gentle and that is a joy to me as the Atupa that is illuminating the shop produces a flame that dances seductively and dangerously close to extinction yet alive to cast it's light on the noodles business I am overseeing for my mother.
It was a slow day and so is business. Arike my friend had gone to hawk peppered ponmo for her mother so I am all alone with my thoughts. My name is Tinuade, a 16 year old girl. The only child of my mother, who never knew her father because my mother does not know him too. Anyway the story of my conception is so complex that I could not even tell it.
Although 16, I posses the body of an adult so attractive that uncle Thomas the mathematics teacher ogled at me one day till he walked into a pole. Letters of affection and requests for relationship flood my locker daily. Even some NYSC Corp Members attached to my school never fails to invite me to their house. Male antics are well known to me, thanks to my mother who drummed it into my head how unwanted pregnancy ruined her chance for a better life. She told me they would come with sweet tales of affection and boy, did they come?

As I reminisce the days event, someone covered my eyes from the back. I knew it was Brother Yemi our jovial neighbour. Brother Yemi a graduate who works at the bottling company is very free and well loved by everyone.
I have been expecting him. I smiled as he turn to sit beside me.

"How are you my wife" he asked

I giggled "I am fine bro Yemi"

"How was work" I added

"Work is fine"

Bro Yemi looked at me skeptically as he touched my chin then he asked "hope you are no longer angry with me"

I smiled and replied "it's okay, after all you have apologized"

"Should I bring your noodles to your room later?" I asked to reassure him that I am no longer angry.

"Yes, make it two eggs this time" bro Yemi said as he stood to leave.

He touched my cheek playfully and I held his hand against my cheek and smiled.
Bro Yemi is such a fine and attractive young man. Standing tall, one wonders why he does not have a woman in his life.
After he left, I fired on the stove, prepared his noodles and fried the eggs the way he likes it with lot of pepper; packaged it, quenched the Atupa and advanced to bro Yemi's room in the face to face house that he shares with my mother and numerous other tenants.

I entered into his room quickly without knocking to avoid being detected by the neighbours. He beamed with smiles and hugged me tightly. I handed the noodles to him as I sat beside him.

"Bro Yemi please can I use your phone to Google an assignment we were given today at school?" I pleaded

"Of course Tinuade, you are my girl now and a good girl who knows what's up" he said as he handed over the phone to me.

He opened the noodles and starts eating while I type on his phone. Halfway into the food he coughed, I handed over a sachet of pure water to him and I began to type frantically on his phone.

Not quite long, bro Yemi grabbed his stomach and began to groan in pain, I quickly walked towards his sound system, increased the volume and then crossed over to him.

I crouched low, looked into bro Yemi's eyes as he grows increasingly weak and his pains intensify, I raised his chin and began to speak as tears stream down my face.
"Do you remember what you did to me last month? Of course you remember. You were the hunter and I was the prey. You took advantage of my innocence and robbed me of my hymen. You raped me and begged me with promise of money and a phone not to cry or tell my mother. Yemi! Can money or phone equate the pain you gave to me and my virginity that you stole? Oh you thought you won right? No I won. Inside your noodles is a potent poison that is currently ripping apart your internal organs. No do not bother to scream as you won't find the voice to. I have composed a well written suicide note for you explaining how you are tired of this life and want to tap out."

Bro Yemi's eyes revealed real fear as he realises the implications of what I just said. He struggled to get up but his feet couldn't find the strength as blood oozes from his nose. I brought out the bottle of sniper and place it beside his food, I hit send on the phone to deliver the suicide note to his Facebook wall. As I closed his door careful not be seen, Bro Yemi breathed his last and I felt a weight lifted off my shoulder. He had stolen my virginity and ruined my life, and I have stolen his life and gave him a quick passage to hell. Trade by barter.

There many things that there's no explanations for in this life even in science. It's called paranormal..

And this that that was explained, how did u take it wise man?
Rather you rebuff and choose to stay in you phenomenal way... Mr paranormal. He has told you, how it's done accept it as learning and move on. Not everything must be spiritual. Even if u cannot explain it, don't say it's spiritual... That will sound dumb in a civilized clime... But here sha anything goes. Mr Wise good day

askibee:
broda am so sorry for you oooo.....so you mean to tell me you ve not come to the fact and truth that life is spiritual? then your journey on earth is really going to be a hard one bro,no offence but thats d truth

It's people like you that a pastor will tell that his mother is a witch and they will hurt their mother. It's actually a lazy attitude to ascribe everything to the spiritual. There are explanations for everything. You that are talking, ask yourself deeply, how many unexplained occurrences have u seen and u researched deeply into finding the cause and u were not lazy. How many? Please don't let follow hearsay and myth. Find empirical proof.

Bros abeg how can I contact you. I need this HP ENVY M6 SLEEKBOOK.

Note this is just my thoughts as a music critic. It is just an opinion.

When the P-square fiasco started and each threatened to go solo, a lot of music lovers and enthusiasts were skeptical about the survival of each of them as an independent artiste. A lot of this skepticism was directed towards Peter Okoye now known as Mr P.
As it's popularly known, a lot of P-square's number one hits were the brain child of Paul Okoye self acclaimed Rude Boy. So the fear for the success of Mr P as a solo artiste was or is not farfetched neither is it unfounded.
But as a P-square fan myself, a passionate music lover and a keen onlooker in social media affairs, I came up with this points that elucidate why Peter Okoye or Mr P might struggle a bit, but will be successful more than his brother Paul. Let's get into them.

SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE.
The power of social media cannot be over emphasised. Anything can trend within one hour and the whole populace will pick the craze. Musical artiste have utilised the power that Social media offers and are still utilising it.
Peter Okoye (Mr P) obviously is loved on social media and numbers don't lie. His instagram followers is at 3.1M followers compare to his brothers 1.7M followers. His twitter followers number is above 1.5M while his brother is still under a million.
One does not need a soothsayer to say that Peter Okoye can make anything trend within hours with this numbers. When he puts a material out there, it reaches a lot of people than his brother will ever do. Little wonder Mr P “Cool It Down” Video trended weeks ago as number one on YouTube.

MR CONTROVERSIAL
Bloggers love controversies. In fact newspapers and online magazines get more hits on controversial issues than streamline news. Mr P is always the first to air his opinion, whenever there is a crack in their union, Mr P is there to give bloggers a filled day. So his name is out there more than the brother. Peter Okoye's related news gets more hits than Paul Okoye.
The controversies started from his Marriage to Lola to his family refusal to assent to the marriage due to age issues. Mr P is an embodiment of controversy and believe me, that sells.

HIS CHARISMA
I can boldly say, when P-square was trending, Peter is the face of the group. Ladies are easily drawn to him. He is more open than his drawn back shy brother and was always saying more at interviews. He brought life and sparks to their musical videos with his dance moves and admirable biceps and six packs. And the ladies love Mr P. We all remembered how Alingo dance moves gripped us back them.
Brands want to identify with someone who will push their brand forward. Peter Okoye has got the needed charisma, traffic and Aura that brands wanna identify with. And he has been tapping the milk of this tree ever since even while as a member of P-Square. Mr P is the brand ambassador for Olympic milk, and a handful of other personal endorsement here and there. Same cannot be said of his brother Paul.

TASTE OF MUSIC IN NIGERIA
Youths consumes most of the music being churned out daily in the Nigeria music scene. And what sells is not necessarily good music but a groovy jam that trends. If it's about good music, "One Corner" will not trend, "Wo" by olamide will not trend.
This factor works very well in Peter's favour. All he has to do is get a good producer, and he is good to go. He can organise a dance competition for a track and we all know how successful that has been for Skales and Olamide. He already has the social media presence.

You can add your own reasons, or state why you think otherwise.

Sad situation. The police should actually be involved in this. Might not be his first time. NDLEA take note

RomeSankara:
I just stand for the truth ..Trump has done far more good for blacks than Jay Z can ever dream of ..Keeps worshipping those narcissistic self centred Hollywood people that live for themselves alone ..Any player that cannot stand up for that National anthem of a country that has really rewarded them must be thrown of the team . Why doesn't Jay Z go employ Collin Kaeparnick now that he is jobless NONSENSE

Are you an American? Are your folks being killed or getting treated differently because of racial profiling? You are here abusing a man that is speaking up against ills affecting his folks. If every leader is as uncouth, unbridled and and making decisions hastily like Trump, do you think this place we be a better place?

RomeSankara:
Jay Z With his big ugly nose..He is just jealous Trump has a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame and he doesn't..All these Trump hater will die of shame because Trump will continue to surpass them in all standards of achievement and fulfillment

If you have common sense and conversant with happenings online, you will know that Jay-Z responded to what Trump said about black players that protested. If you have a neocolonialism mentality, keep it to yourself, don't just spew garbage. Imagine the height of ridiculousness.

The truth is, a phone with that big a screen, you expect it to consume more than a 5inch screen. Also brightness matters. Although the claim that it last three days is a farce. I charge my phone at night and use it throughout the day. That's my routine. And believe me, am a phone addict but I make sure I adhere to all the battery saving requirements.
NB if you activate Ultra Power saving mode, it will last 3 days

I use L9 plus... And I experience that. It's just a light shocking feeling. Like the phone is moving steadily on one's hand... Had it been it's a plastic cover, it wont be noticed. Maybe it's the fast charge ability, I have no idea

There are so many things wrong with this post, The purpose of a woman on earth is not only to marry. We have a lot of singles in other nations. And they are quite okay with it. Marriage is not all there is about life. There are thousands of things to aspire in life and everyone's time differs. This post will not help.

My Tecno L9 plus gets hot while charging, and I want to update it. I was told I will change the panel. Now my question is, how sure am I that the engineer on your end won't tamper with something else on the phone? How am I sure that more faults won't develop. This is a phone not up to a month. Please allay my fears

Iamdemola:
Getting hot while charging is unusual. Mine isn't like that. Maybe you visit a carlcare centre

yes ó. It gets hot, a phone that's not up to a month (May 3) I noticed from the first day. It will be hot and I charge without pouch. Often time it's off o.

CarlcareOpebi:
Hi @Cunninlinguist Ordinarily the battery goes 3 days with minimal usage & 2 days with maximum usuage. Try not to use the phone while it's charging. Visit the Carlcare Service Centre closest to you for assistance, if you still think the battery draining is abnormal. You may Book a reservation using the Carlcare Application on your device [and give the information required]; Our contact number(s) and addresses are also in the App Or let me know your location so that I forward one to you. Thank you!

I know where mine is, but I have been trying to reserve since, but the Carlcare app failed to give me verification code.

CarlcareOpebi:
Hi @djmask If you're using your phone while charging, it's bound to get Hot. However, if you're really sure the hotness is abnormal - please visit the Carlcare Service Centre closest to you for assistance. An update is available - the L9 Plus now has more themes. Use your Pouch to prevent from slipping. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you so much. Please how do I get the update on L9 plus? Please help me.

Am using it, the phone came with stock Android, no lovely themes or interface. Gets very very hot when charging either off or on. The battery last but not for three days. Too slippery. But I love the phone.

True, the phone is too slippery, again it gets hot while charging either on or off. It also get hot with little usage especially with 3g switched on. Apart from that, I haven't noticed any other fault. The proximity sensor is working well, also I have made a 45 mind call and it did not drop; without earpiece. Maybe your device fell. Sorry about that. But that's what we bargained for

Very poor result. See chemistry, see maths, tufiakwa...

The next generation would be the worst!

You should forget about school and go and become a pastor or native doctor, cos that's how people like you end up!

You keep wasting your mom's money on exams....and you keep failing them..rubbish!

He actually put himself up to be ridiculed by the likes of you by posting on nairaland. But your statements are shameful and highly discouraging. Mr know-it-all am sure you are not an A level student yourself. When someone is down, it's logical to bring him up and other pile rubbish on him. You yourself you are a failure to common sense with these foolish words you just spewed.

I also want to root my L9 plus but the apps I downloaded failed to do it. Any help is appreciated by us
