what guys don't know is that the number one sign of a wicked and manipulative woman is that she will try to isolate and ostracize you from your friends and family so that she can easily be able to manipulate and control you without any hindrances, once she succeeded she will then come for your jugular. |
If Tuface was the one in the position of Annie and it was Annie that came out to announced divorce from Tuface online, would all these feminists speak out in support of Tuface and considered what he could be going through at that moment and proclaimed the announcement as ill timed? If it was Tuface in the position of Annie because he is a man no one would considered his situation, they would just want him to be strong enough to handle the divorce without making a fuss or losing his cool but because it was Annie all these feminists could pity her situation, If it was Annie that announced divorce from Tuface online and Tuface was sent to rehab they would also be the first set of people to mock his situation without any ounce of pity. |

Get To Know the Stars Bringing Tomi Adeyemi’s ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ to Life on the Big Screen The film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling novel, “Children of Blood and Bone,” is officially in the works at Paramount Pictures. Featuring a stellar cast of Hollywood’s finest, including Thuso Mbedu, Amandla Stenberg, Damson Idris, Tosin Cole, Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, Idris Elba, Lashana Lynch, and more. Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, the action-fantasy film is set to begin production in South Africa in the coming weeks and is slated for release in early 2027. Set in a mythical African fantasy kingdom called Orïsha, the story follows Zélie, a young woman from the maji—citizens who once possessed magical powers before the tyrannical King Saran sought to eliminate magic from their world. After the Raid, which left many maji dead and the survivors powerless, Zélie discovers a way to restore their lost magic. Together with her protective older brother, Tzain, and Amari, the king’s daughter who opposes her father’s oppressive rule, Zélie embarks on a perilous quest. Along the way, they must confront the king’s loyal forces, including his son, Prince Inan, who is determined to stop them at all costs.

Avatar photoPublished 4 days ago on January 23, 2025By 'Fúnmilọ́lá Sanya By now, you’ve probably heard the exciting news – not just that the movie adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s “Children of Blood and Bone,” part of the Legacy of Orïsha trilogy and a New York Times bestseller, is officially in the works, but that the principal cast has finally been announced! The big reveal happened yesterday, and it’s safe to say the cast list is as star-studded as they come. The line-up features Academy Award winner Viola Davis (The Woman King), Cynthia Erivo (Wicked – and have you heard her sing? She’s phenomenal), Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), Thuso Mbedu (The Woman King), Lashana Lynch (The Woman King), Tosin Cole (Supacell), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Americanah), Amandla Stenberg (Everything, Everything), and Damson Idris (Snowfall). It’s a powerhouse of talent that’s hard to ignore. While many fans are thrilled with the announcement, social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions. On one hand, people are praising the calibre of actors involved, noting their global recognition and award-winning credentials. On the other hand, some have raised concerns. “Fear the accents,” one person quipped, while another commented, “I don’t think it’s right that Zélie isn’t being played by a Yoruba actress.” If you’re wondering which critical roles have sparked such strong opinions, here’s a quick breakdown: Viola Davis will portray Mama Agba, Cynthia Erivo takes on Admiral Kaea, Idris Elba is Lekan, Amandla Stenberg plays Amari, Damson Idris stars as Inan, Tosin Cole as Tzain, Lashana Lynch as Jumoke, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as King Saran. The debates are reminiscent of the reactions last year when Idris Elba was cast as Okonkwo in the upcoming adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart.” At the time, Nigerians had a lot to say, with one person even jokingly asking whether Idris could roll fufu and dip it in soup like Okonkwo. Amid all the chatter, Tomi Adeyemi herself has reassured fans that there’s more to come. She recently shared that “more Nigerian castings and results from the open call” will be announced soon. So, while reactions continue to pour in, there’s still hope for more local representation in the film. Stay tuned – and in the meantime, here’s a look at what people are saying about the “Children of Blood and Bone” cast so far! children of blood and bone becoming a movie was supposed to do for young black actors what harry potter, hunger games, stranger things, twilight and all the other young white main cast movies and shows did for their actors but oh well — ryan || nocturne spoilers (@caitviscent) January 23, 2025 Omo, I don’t think it’s right that Zelie isn’t played by a Yoruba actress But then again Calabar is next to Lokoja in the book so logic was never important https:///q16R6vHNoF — Father. Slut. Zero. (@khunchualai) January 22, 2025 I get it you wanna stacked cast everyone wants that ‘queen charlotte’ moment. But did you know those actors before no? Okay so add new faces. There are so many young Nigerian actors and actresses that just need a chance. BUT NOOO we must get amandla… #childrenofbloodandbone — IHYP (@itsssbolu) January 22, 2025 Also I’ve accepted that I can’t escape Amandla because in what world are her and Damson siblings and a child of Chiwetel and Regina King?? #childrenofbloodandbone https:///dpr4DstDAm — Ofe Egusi and Bread✨ (@madee_laine) January 22, 2025 The children of blood and bone casting just pissed me the hell off. What was the whole point of the open casting then?? when are young Nigerian actors going to get the opportunity to tell their own stories with their own culture. Literally half of a yellow sun all over again. — sickoflife🫧 (@deraabiola) January 22, 2025 — the film & tv industry hates casting young, new black talent especially the darkskinned girls. how is it that there was more opportunities for teen black actresses to breakthrough back then in the 90s & 2000s than there is now?! we are going backwards. — ꫂ ၴႅၴ. (@filmsbratz) January 22, 2025 The more I think about it, Thuso Mbedu as Zélie will eat#ChildrenOfBloodAndBone — Ẹniafẹ́ Momodu ✨ (@EniafeMomodu) January 23, 2025 I get it you wanna stacked cast everyone wants that ‘queen charlotte’ moment. But did you know those actors before no? Okay so add new faces. There are so many young Nigerian actors and actresses that just need a chance.

Nevertheless, Accolades to Tomi 👏🏾 — BoylikeEra 🇺🇸 🇳🇬 (@FOgulere) January 23, 2025 my conclusion from this children of blood and bone casting situation is we need more patrons of the BLACK arts😭so we can see high quality independent black films with actual new faces, not just endless empty open casting promises https:///l5IKnko6Qi — jill scott heron🪐 (@stillnotziora) January 22, 2025 #ChildrenOfBloodAndBone cast is fire.

pocohantas:You are Knowledgeable i will give you that unlike the empty brain women that parade about these days but i will still stand by my words, the money that he lost was the most painful to him. |
Alwizkidi:Forget about her and move on or else the situation will turn to quick sand that will continuously sink you. She already lost interest in you that's why she's not initiating texting with you, the only reason she is still keeping you around is because she want to turn you to ATM like you claimed. |
pocohantas:Forget plenty talk Why wouldn't bill gate regret the divorce after he lost 50% of his net worth? from the richest man in the world to down You are delusional if you think it was actually the relationship with the woman, it is the money that he lost that pained him. |
keep deceiving yourselves |
ZombieDredd:From an efulefu piglet |
ZombieDredd:Have you seen why 500 naira note is always dirty and smelling first ? efulefu |
kettykin:How many successful Igbo businessman with networth over 100m$ can you say is base outside Nigeria ? Igbo businessmen are crook that can only thrive in a corrupt country like Nigeria ,outside Nigeria most of them would be exposed for the fraud that they are and only be behind bars, like that CEO of tango that was busted in US for the fraud that he was. |
kettykin:If federal government want to persecute Igbo business men, Allen Onyeama would be cooling off in US's cell for money laundering. You mentioned Innoson and Airpeace that enjoyed a lot of support from the federal government, do you even know how much Buhari government patronized Innoson ? it was in tune to billions of naira and even airpiece is still enjoying tax waiver. The evidence is all online. But Inferiority complex has damaged your generation psyche to the extent you now parade yourselves as victims for everything and nothing will ever satisfy you.

Mynd44:Which nonsense are you saying ? In the US that man can be shot for trespassing? what's he doing inside another man's bedroom ? was that his house that he can just go and come as he pleases ? |
MadamVanessa:South east that IPOB may kill him at anytime just because he is a northerner |
greatiyk4u:sense and wisdom that is clearly lacking in your Lineage and entire South East. It is the other way round, your women marry Yoruba so they won't give birth to efulefu like you that lack sense and wisdom. |
greatiyk4u:sense and wisdom that is clearly lacking in your Lineage and entire South East |
DeloitteNG:i just need 5k to go out and chill on Christmas day |
How will any crime will even be reported in the East when most of the police stations have been shut down by ESN? |
Kemi should keep riding on jare, if Britain don't make you their PM we will make you president of Nigeria |
NigerianXXX:You should be stripped and beaten, you fools must not be living in Nigeria at all, go to all the major roads across Nigeria and see Nigeria police collecting bribes and extorting motorists daily without any consequences. You must be one of the corrupt police officers or you just don't have any shame. |
This man should tone down his lies i beg |
These animals will keep dragging the country backward |
Lies and propaganda won't give you any loyal followers. Times and times again it have been proven that Hundeyin is just a typical political jobber that will spread propaganda and become an attack dog for the highest bidder. Dude have so much problems with Tinubu but in cahoot with Atiku and Peter Obi despite their questionable characters and background, people aren't not blind and stupid, they have finally seen you for what you really are, only those that you still appeal to their emotions and interests will play dumb with you. |
aariwa:If getting lock up in asia prison is progress to you then it is good for you pigs, You think Yoruba land is like East that's small and dot in a circle. Oyo state is bigger than the east and we have abundant lands. You pigs brag about imaginary mansion in villages but most of you can't stay in your region and live in those mansions, go to those houses that you call old with brown roofs and see the people renting it like hotcakes, they dump the imaginary mansions you have in the East to live under brown roofs in the west. Bragging over mansions built by drug barons languishing in Asia prisons in underdeveloped area with no good roads or even water nearby to hide from law enforcement agencies, you are so poor and backward economically in the east that you even need to come to the west to hawk common fan yogo and gala in the west, who are the people pushing wheel barrow everywhere in the west ? are they not Igbo ? an Igbo talking about poverty when you are the definition of poverty. |
Basiljoe:And did he not survive after you didn't help ? if you didn't help who told you he won't get help from somewhere else ? Hypocritical people like you are the worst, You are also a tribalist but accusing other of tribalism, typical behavior of your kind. May you also rot in whatever ordeal you encounter |
oxygeng:And you guys always see Yoruba people fvcking you up in your dream. How are you so sure the guy is even Yoruba ? So only Yoruba people are against Trump? but even according to his comments how are you sure he is even against Trump ? The IQ of you guys in the east is terribly low even northerners have more sense than you guys, the only problem the north have is religion fanatism. If the north is not so full of crazy Islamic religion fanatism they will be more better than you guys in the East in all aspects, everyday you guys prove how terribly low the iq of most you guys are like a barbarian, always nsogbu nsogbu no brain. |
Dawn91:How are you sure he is Yoruba ? You are just very derange and delusional, there are millions of Yoruba that support trump, millions are also against him, it is very stupid to expect 30million plus Yoruba to have the same opinion. We are not like in the East where Obi secured 98% of total votes cast during the presidential election, even Tinubu only managed to secure around 65% in the west. It is you guys that mostly think and act alike like an hivebot that can't think independently but just believe whatever propaganda that's being dish out to your brain, 10 Yoruba men won't think and act alike or believe in the same thing. |
kettykin:Typical of you guys always playing victims and spreading propaganda Which UME JAMB statistics exactly did they stop generating ? How on earth could Abuja airport surpassed Lagos Airport in term of traffic ? where exactly is the statistics that showed that ? anyone that know how populous and industrious Lagos is in Nigeria will know it's impossible, unless Lagos become less Industrious or Abuja come close to Lagos in terms of industrial capacity and population it can never happen. Which NYSC statistics are you also talking about? all your accusations are just propaganda and identical to the conspiracy theory of how you are being marginalize in the east, it is all empty and playing victims with any propaganda you can conjure as usual. |
