Honestly.

Just like that other baby that her mom got a mic for whenever she wants to cry, and she hears her own voice resounding and she stops.



Eiiii. You don't?

You've not seen him posted on The Shade Room too?

This one is like the opposite of Kevins Samuel. He's a dating coach, but for women. And a motivational speaker somewhat on the side.

I just remember coming across him for the first time as a Suggestion from Facebook.

He's handsome, hulky, apparently has sense, so I followed him.

Along the side, his cheating scandal supped, and you know what he did?

He brought his wife on FB Live and counseled her through his own infidelity. Like, he was the cheat, and then he played therapist to her to deal with his own cheating scandal.

And the lady too just sat there like...looking so... . It was cringe-worthy.

Fast forward to some days ago, the wife dropped a video again laying curses on social media people that wanted to scatter her marriage. Strong curses.

And to wrap it up, like two or three days ago, the guy filed for divorce.

Talk about crowning her shame with more casting...

She was a hot chick when he married her, turned her to a Mary Amaka and spiritual-battles-fighting-online-warrior, was exactly the kind of man he advises lady against, he divorced her now, and went for a baddie, slay queen with tattoos and all of that.

A "born-again" bro.

Yes. I'll call her the African-American Annie Macaulay, so you get the picture here, lol.

Like, fr, I really really really feel for her.

This guy broke her, and reconditioned her mind...the whole transformation and her unhinged behaviours are all online, so this is not me even projecting or speculating.

Her eyes tell it all, and it's so damn hear-tbreaking.

Wowww. These toys need to be introduced to the African market abeg. All these babies that cry anyhow and give me instant headache.

Maggie, this is a good business idea oh. We will make millions from it. Make Poco come give us funds, she be our treasurer.


***************
Mai dear, as long as I don't know him ehn, it means he's really irrelevant. To be honest, I do not listen to all these motivational speakers or dating coaches or online pastors. I don't know how you people do it oh but this baby girl has no time for that.

Wowww. He brought his ex- wife on camera and gaslighted her on his own infidelity??Interesting times that we're in.

Well, thankfully I have coconut head and I don't think I can change my dressing cos of a man. God abeg.
Imagine telling me not to wear short skirt of gowns anymore.


It's quite sad sha. A real pity.

Omo. It must be hard for the ex-wife right now. I feel sorry for her.

Magnoliaa:
Maybe I'll look for it and see.



Lmaooo.

No one will ever know how good and iconic those different roles would have been for Edochie now.

I really hope they put an end to that thing- of never changing an actor's role.



Ohhh. Glamour Girls.

I never got around to watching it o.

I had it on my phone, but something was wrong with its audio. It was playing on mute.

And I planned to connect it to a speaker, and kept it on my phone for a while.

I kicked it off when I needed to collect other "important" movies I deem sensible.

Even without people's negative reviews, I knew it wasn't going to be shit, so I was not really keen on seeing it.

I been wan watch am only for the bling bling and fine luxury parts...

That reminds me of the poster of this 'Chief Daddy 2' and the dollar sign they put on it.

Total turn-off.

No wahala dear.

Exactly my thoughts too!!!! If they had allowed Pete Edochie play other roles, we've had known how really good he is, but I'm pretty sure the movie producers just felt he's a tough man and would need good roles that fit his stature and fame.
This is the reason I really liked Olu Jacobs.
He could play any part. I've seen him act all roles, from poor man to rich, occultic, you name It!!! He's a versatile actor. It's a shame sickness caught up with him.

This profiling of actors and music artistes in one way or the other affect their career and they literally have to struggle out of that stereotype to break that part.
When Ariana Grande acted in "Victorious " and "Sam and Cat" especially with that her wine coloured hair and her role was her acting dumb and funny, it took serious hard work for her to break out of that stereotype after she delved into music because at first, people didn't take her serious. She said so herself.


Omo. Nothing serious happened in the Glamour Girls movie oh. Just some knacks here and there. But I loved the bling bling flashy lifestyle they portrayed.

Omooo. I haven't forgiven my friend for ever making me go to the cinema to watch that Chief Daddy Part 1. I was so pissed off that day. Till date,I didn't bother watching the Part 2 of it.

1. I Hate drinking garri. I don't know how people do it sha.

2. Spaghetti.
3. Head of any anything (fish, goat, cow, fowl). Nor give me.
4. Groundnut soup.
5. Shawarma.
6. Pizza.
7. Pap!!!!!!! (Last time I ate it was when I was a baby and my Mum said I still hated it then).
8. Golden morn. Trashhhhhh!

Can't remember all again oh but these are top 7 for me.

Magnoliaa:
Orgasm.

Lots of it.

I deserve it, abeg.

It's been a long time coming.

God when!!!!!

Magnoliaa:
Folake, , see this cute video:

https://www.facebook.com/MetDaanCreative/videos/586684839886339/

Do you also know Derrick Jaxn?? ?? ??

https://www.facebook.com/100001906284822/posts/pfbid034VkoVhg2TNEfg3DXzgHotaixrZK6vzervfZr2oLx6uC2X7JYLE19rQ25Uhk6JojTl/?app=fbl

Awww. That baby is really cute.
I will like to have that toy sha. I like it. I don't mind gifting it to my neighbour's child.

The person that made it is very creative.


Huh? I nor know who that guy be oh.
Abeg who he Be?

Magnoliaa:
Na so we see am. Make dem continue.



Ehennn? I only watched Everyday People in all of these series. And I don't recall Olumide anymore. Maybe if I see an episode, he'll come back to me.



Yeah, I know she has always been versatile. I was only pointing out a probable reason for why she had space to be versatile.

No one will know how versatile other actors are too until they are casted for other roles.

I don't know that series.



Nothing infuriates me more than an hanging or unexplainable piece of detail in a movie or novel...or something that the viewers cannot understand by them being shown it.

I get that the plot has to move forward and things have to happen and the cast have to interact... but whatever you want to use to move a story forward must (double as) be organic.

If it is that he doesn't know how to knot a tie, then istg, they have to make it a CONSISTENT thing. Cause that's the only way that thing would make sense to me o. He must continue to show up to class with his tie off every morning because that is who he is. (Or if that morning was just a one-time thing, then why?)

Lemme ease off my judgments here like that, and not badmouth something I've not seen 100% if it.



Total. Complete. And utter, lmao.

Make them continue their nonsense abeg.

Yeah. He was in "Everyday people". Don't worry, when you watch one of the episodes, you'd rememeber Olumide.

You're right. These actors should be made to try other roles and let's see how they will fare as other characters. I don't know why they've never made Pete Edochie act as a poor man sha. Na so so rich man, King or occultic man.

Did you watch that refurbished Glamour Girls that Netflix people did So many hanging and unexplainable parts in the movie For instance what did Toke Makinwa's husband see that he left her and she was begging.
Idìot people.

[quote author=Magnoliaa post=119063860]Oh. He's even a recurring role cast?

I nor know am.

But that's the thing with Nollywood.

I guess actors like Toyin Abraham, Funke Akindele and the likes were only able to break from that norm because they wrote, directed and produced most of their movies. Femi Adebayo.

If not ehn, they would have fitted them with one role for "life" in every of their movies.

Look at Timini.

And I know he has the versatility, but I feel that "bad boy" portrayal is really limiting him.



Oh.

I watched the "First Look" video they posted and I can already see so many holes, lmao.

Firstly, one babe's name was Carmen.

I know we absolutely bear English names here very well, but stillll.

CARMEN loun loun. Not Vanessa. Sarah. Ivy. Priscilla. Helen. Kate.

That would only make sense to me if there was some subsequent backstory that kinda situated or put that name in context.

Secondly, the guy ran into the class looking dishevelled. And he has not tied his tie.

Unless they later on showed a back-scene revealing how his morning got railroaded and derailed, there is absolutely no reason for why a student going to class, on the first day likely, should not be looking presentable and prepared, with pressed clothes.

And it doesn't seem like the "disorganised, dishevelled" look was meant to add to character development.

Feels like they just wanted him to interact with the purple-haired lady or something...

He just even started drawing her picture.

Looking at another girl.

Where's the chemistry if you wanted to use the trope of 'new boy in class absent-mindedly sketching a girl he fancies?'

Ughhh.

The teacher too calling him "Mr. Scholarship."

A little birdie told me this school has lots of drama and wahala. Are you ready? #FarFromHome is coming December 16, only on Netflix 📚 pic.twitter.com/xYcU3DpytG

— Netflix Nigeria (@NetflixNaija) December 7, 2022

. He's a recurring role cast oh. I don tire to dey see the guy for one particular role.
Fine, he was a great child actors but now can he move on into other character development.
Gosh I'm so annoyed.

Ahhh. How can you say you don't know Olumide. He was a cast in "The Johnsons" Season 1 of the series. He was also a child actor in the evergreen "Everyday people" series. I also watched him in Mtv Base "Shuga" series. I think his mum was Tiwa Savage in the series.

Nahhh. Funke Akindele has always been versatile. I don't think she was known for just one type of role in movies. Have you watched her in "I need to know" series? It's quite old though.

Lmaooo. Timini my old crush. That guy would really go places but that bad boy stereotype just dey follow am waka,even inside real life when he was dating underage abi 18years old girls.
Na him sabi.

When I saw the first trailer, I simply rolled my eyes and said "Not again with this crap".

Carmen ke? Them for kuku call her Caramel na. Funny enough, these names you mentioned were/are quite popular among those rich kids then. Wetin concern us with Carmen? Na that time them go even call the name semen.

There has to be a back story of why a student is looking dishevelled on the first day of school. In reality, first day of school whether rich or poor, every student tried to look neat and presentable.

Abeg abeg.
Netflix Nigeria just dey do rubbish.

Magnoliaa:
Ehen... where were we?

The yassification of Nollywood, as someone rightly described it.

And I remember back in the days when we used to complain that they are not like Hollywood, but we do not mean that they should now start giving us a run-down, copy-paste version of Hollywood stuff.

Use the standards, etc., of Hollywood to tell real African stories that reflect our realities. Lobatan.

Mai dear. The major problem I have is Nollywood using this guy repeatedly. It is now a stale script.
Olumide Oworu is 27years old and not meant to be acting teen dramas over and over again.
I get irked seeing Nollywood stereotyping him with such teen roles. Now this!!!!


And then again, which secondary school in Nigeria has lockers as decent and Behind as they portrayed in the movie trailer. Even my own school sef nor get that kain lockers sef.

Them dey craze.

AmazonTopaz:

I know book wella but maths na my achilles heel

I'm telling you.

AmazonTopaz:
A mix of both, I an not into makeup or flashy dresses I like my cloths baggy
I don't have time for it as well. I am not consistent in those things sha. I don't know how God created me sha but I pay attention to my skin and hair I try for that one

Hahaha. I'm not a makeup person as well. Naija weather these days too hot for makeup.

I like simple but elegant clothes, it could be baggy or flashy or tight but as long it's pleasing to the eyes,I'm up for it.

Paying attention to skin and hair is also a good thing.

AmazonTopaz:
Anything when concern maths I run comot.

The puzzle be like Greek for my eye

Me too oh. Nothing concern me with Maths abeg.

AmazonTopaz:
Folake4u congratulations on being a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. May you excel in the legal profession.

I am just coming online to see your mention and to be honest, I don't have a particular choice for fragrance. I go with the wind. I am not consistent in using those things also for health reasons any fragrance that will choke me I cannot use it if it is too harsh because it can choke and affect me .

So, anyone, I use it's usually light and doesn't choke if your fragrance is too strong I cannot even be around you I am allergic to it, and they trigger my allergy hence why I am not into those things. I can have up to 5 light fragrances and don't even remember the names and it will take me months to finish them and I don't apply them all the time.
Infact Folake, I should be the last person you talk women's fashion with abeg na only Rexona and Nivea dey enter my head and they can be quite sensitive for me too most of these good fragrances are very sensitive for me and I am allergic to them.

Thank you very much Mami.

I have allergies for strong fragrances also and that's why I use light and soft fragrances that go easy on my nostrils because it is very sensitive.

You don't like women's fashion or you don't just have time for it? Which one?

Magnoliaa:
No wahala.

Until then.

Oya oh. I dey now.

Magnoliaa:
No problem, my dear.

Na the trailer I dey find like this. Some said it's similar to how Hollywood does their too.

The only reason I wish watch it will be to ***** on it.

Everything about it is already irritating me.

Very tone-deaf and all.

Na this evening you go remind me oh.
If I start to engage you now,I nor go get time prepare for where I dey go so.

I have watched the trailer on Twitter and I was disappointed. But yesss. It is very similar to how Hollywood does theirs too. Infact,it has some semblance with Elite, Blood and Water series. Some people are saying this is the Nigerian version.

I nor even dey watch am. Good luck to those watching it. We all know how the story ends.

Besides, these aren't child actors, they're grandpas and grandmas already.
I'm tired of seeing these grownups act teen roles.

Magnoliaa Please remind me later, we will talk about this.

It seems you were in my mind.

Chee59:
Benue

Okay. You can still experience train ride.

It can be done by taking a car/bus ride from Benue to Kogi State. And from there,you can board a train ride at Itakpe,Kogi State to Edo or Delta.

Chee59:
Edo to kogi 3 hours.
Wow! A train ride is something I'd really really love to try but for insecurity plus no train in my state.

Lol. What state do you reside in?

How many times has these useless men asked this useless question on Nairaland??

These were my favourite in no particular order.
1. Bouqui. I loved loved her vibes and energy!

2. Mo' cheddah. This babe could sing and rap very well.

3. Weird MC. Loved that Ijoya song!!

4. Eva Alordiah. Absolutely loved Eva. I wish we could turn the hands of time.

This is crazy!!!

These new generation parents should allow kids be kids!!!!!! What the hell?
Do not deprive your children of their childhood. Once lost, it can NEVER be regained.

Even me as a young adult, it's just last month I started wearing eyelashes for the first time in my life. That stuff is really uncomfortable. Now imagine using that on a child.

Jeez.

clockwisereport:
Congratulations to Folake4u and to all the new wings. Chukwu agozigo unu

Depressed101:

It is still functional. I used it last month.

Call ke? You better go to the train station yourself. There's no online booking,it is cash and board a train ride.


Please check the first page of my thread for more details.

Teespice:
Yaaaay.

I replied your mail since.

Hahaha. I've replied now.

ThatEdoboy:
Aunty Folake4u, pls how do i get to Abuja from Benin by train, could you please direct me with the best possibly route.
Thanks

From Benin, go to Agbor railway station.

I've stated it severally on the thread. You should read it up.

Dorcaz:
Don't know if it's just me but I've never really liked Nivea products. I used their soap once or twice and just stopped. Deodorant and spray, not even once.

Hausa perfumes no dey try at all, seems the intention is to choke every odour out of their hiding places They tried so hard to imitate perfume brands from the UAE but then, those ones are not even as strong as HPs are.

Talking of fragrances with floral scents, you could try Oui moi. I'm using it together with Dinar and it's very nice.

Ah. Thank you oh. E come be like say I be Nivea hater. Haven't used their soap though, only deodorants and cream.

Ahhh. The smell is intense and harsh. Someone used it last week at CTB screening,I was sneezing throughout till my face turned red!
Make them just rest for their production abeg. It is suffocating.

Ohhh. Thank you very much dear. Do you know of any fruity scent (particularly pineapple), I like How It gives me the "I want you to eat me zaddy" vibes.
