The most shocking thing about this article is that someone left Gambia and went all the way to London just to study performing arts.
What a waste of time and money.

Good day/sir
I'm in dire need of your assistance. I'm a serving corp member in Abeokuta posted a ministry. They provide no accommodation nor incentives. We were told to sort accommodation by ourselves. I've been living with a friend for a while who is also a corp member but his landlord has been on his neck that we should vacate because we're about three with him in a single room. I and other corp member has made effort to rent an apartment before the deadline we were given but house is very expensive here. A single room here is about 65k and we only have 40k with us. Pls kindly assist us as you deem fit as we were given till Saturday to pack out.
God bless you.

You can stay at the coppers lodge for the time being until you have enough money to rent your own place.
If you're a Catholic, you can stay with NACC, if you're a protestant, you can stay with NCCF. The Muslims also have their own family house.

While you are staying with them, you can meet your LI or ZI and tell him that you want to be reposted to a PPA that will give you accommodation.

What nonsense!
Simply because something is applicable abroad does not mean it will be applicable here.

Wow. Such ignorance.
You managed to make a mockery of your post from the very first sentence.

This looks like a scam recruitment

At this point in his career, he should have focused in building himself up instead of opening a record label

This is so trashy

Number 1 is not a movie.
Breaking Bad is a Series

This job looks like a scam

Unpopular Opinion: I enjoyed Terminator: Dark Fate.



I saw Terminator Dark fate last week, and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
The acting was passable, the action scenes were top notch, the characters were likeable and The de-aging technology was also really good.
I don't regret the money I spent on the movie and I'll see it again when the HD version is available for download.


That being said it is easy to see why people hate this movie.
In order to enjoy this movie, you'll have to switch off your brain and just enjoy the spectacle , because the second you start to think about it, nothing makes an iota if sense.

For instance, how did the end of Terminator 2 prevent judgement day from happening?


OK. Let us suspend our disbelief and say that indeed the events at the end of the previous movie prevented Skye net from rising, then how was John Cornner killed. If Skye net no longer exists, then who sent the terminator?


How can a Terminator age is he doesn't eat food.


How did Sarah know that the Terminator will be at the bridge when she showed up?


If the lady that came to protect the Mexican girl knew that her core was the only thing that could defeat the Rev 9 Terminator, why didn't she bring an extra core with her when she was coming?



But like I said, as long as you don't think too much about it, you'll definitely enjoy the movie.

Joker 2019



This movie is beautifully shot and the acting (especially from the titular character) was top notch. When phoenix took off his shirt his body is quite ... So I'm guessing he lost a lot of weight for the role. It's always nice to see people who are dedicated to their craft.


However, I must acknowledge that watching this movie felt like a chore. The movie takes "slow burn" to a whole level. In fact, it took me three days to get through the movie. The ending was quite cathartic and interesting but the majority of the movie just dragged on and on.

A lot of people have gone as far as saying that if you don't think that this movie is the best thing to happen to cinema, it's because you are dumb and have a low IQ. I think that has made some people who may not have enjoyed the movie to jump on the bandwagon for fear of being bullied.


Another problem I have with this movie is that this is too little of the Joker in it.
We only get to see the joker at almost the tail end of the movie.
Granted, this is an origin story, but that is still not enough excuse.
Now imagine if you went to see Iron Man 1 and the movie was basically about the arrogant weapon manufacturer who gets kidnapped, builds an iron suit while he was kidnapped and then ends when he escapes from captivity. This concept will still be interesting but it doesn't have enough Iron Man in it.

I also have a question. Where does this joker fit into when looking at the big picture? Is he supposed to be the same joker in suicide squad?
He looks like he is in his late 30's or early 40's but Bruce looks barely 11 years old. So am I supposed to believe that in the future this uncharismatic man in his late 50's to early 60's will pose a problem to Batman?

All these Nairalandwood actress eh. Nawa oh

So you're still going on about this, something I had forgotten. You're so wrong on the bolded though. Seems you don't know what feminism is all about.

The whole point of feminism is to fight for parity for women. To empower women to do more within the society, to be part of decision making process that they are previously denied. Feminism is not willing to be a second class citizen because of your gender. Feminism is the process that engenders power in women over their own lives, society, and in their communities. Women are empowered when they are able to access the opportunities available to them without constraints, and restrictions such as in education, profession and lifestyle.

Being a housewife or a "damsel" (whatever that signifies) undermines the very essence of feminism. A housewife is someone who is willing to be an object for their husband's gratification. A willing housewife is not a feminist for the fact that she doesn't want to be empowered. She doesn't want to be part of a decision making process. Feminism is not for all women, because not every womon has the compulsory qualities needed to procure enlightenment.

Pertaining to your number 2, I concur that a female lead can be anti-feminist, which is why I emphasized "strong" in the "strong female lead". Some female leads are just there to promote misogyny and the misconceptions that women are dumb. These female leads are the antithesis of strong, and you're liable to find them in B-horror movies.

Margaret Thatcher was a feminist, even if she didn't know it. The first female UK prime minister, she reached the apex of political potency, and had men quaking in their boots. She was nicknamed the "Iron Lady" for a reason, you know? Thus, tagging her anti-feminist doesn't make any sense. It's ironic.

You should read more on the subject, and stop this Bechdel test bullshit. That shit doesn't factor in here.

Wow!
This is pseudo-intelletualism at its finest

DannyKoice:
As regards the bolded, technically, every movie is a cash grab, some just do it better than others.

.......................................

A film that has strong female lead(s) is always going to be pro-feminism, it's inevitable... It doesn't matter the genre or premise, the overarching theme that will invariably shine through is thus; what a man can do, a woman can do it better... A woman can be just as strong and astute as a man, and so on.

If you're going to reprehend Charlie's Angel (2019) for promoting what you dubbed "fake feminism", then you may as well paint all the other films that have strong female leads with the same brush, including Anna (2019) that you loved so much.

Charlie's Angels suffer from poor script, mediocre directing, and editing amongst other things, not because it promoted fake feminism. In an alternate settings, it would be a masterpiece.

These days men are becoming too fragile. In a lot of cases, when a movie has a female lead, some men will tag it as a feminist propaganda even without seeing the movie.

Movies I am awaiting

1. The Irishman. This one makes me tremble with delight. Some of my all time favs + Scorsese. What more could I want. To be released on netflix in the 27th.

2. The call of the wild. I feel I will like this on a saturday morning

3. Cats. Ever since the greatest showman I've kept an eye out for possibly his musicals this might be one. The cast is stellar.

Will update later.

The CGI in cats looks creepy as f***. I can't imagine myself looking at it for over 90 minutes in the name of watching a movie.

LordKO:
Citing the OP's submission, the man's behavior is bad - shame on him if he has unjustifiably acted in such manner - he can do better, no matter the circumstances. However, your tactical support for cynicism and contentiousness among couples is rather repulsive; you'll be doing more harm than good to your clients in particular and the marriage institution in general, if you continue with this kind of mentality. It's unethical for a couple to unjustifiably mete out distrust and rebelliousness towards another - two conscientious people in pursuit of a common goal shouldn't be caught doing such against one another. Cynicism in particular is the unpronounced major cause of disunity among couples.

As a divorce attorney, a conscientious one I have to believe, your first duty is to master the act of differentiating altruistic couples from egoistic ones and avoid giving the former advice meant for the latter. You (a divorce attorney) can't have a successful career if you fail in this regard.

Resourcefulness is refreshing and engaging, however, it always becomes a toxic if the aim behind the grit is to cushion cynicism in particular and subjugation is general.

You can do better, believe you me.

Do you even know the work of a divorce lawyer or do you think that a divorce lawyer is the same as a therapist?

I don't read as often as I used to, but back in the day, you'd often find me reading a good espionage thriller, a horror, science fiction fantasy, and Mystery.

The only romance novels I ever read were from Jackie Collins. I've read all her novels. I was drawn to them, cuz of their R-rated content... the woman had a way with words.

When I read Chances, I thought Jackie Collins was a man. It was later that I found out she was female.
Chances is over 700 pages but the more I read the novel, the more I wished the book will double in size.

I don't think you'll be able to find a clear copy yet

Two Will Smiths are better than one?

So I just saw Gemini Man and the movie was just meh. Granted, it's not the worst movie ever made so I'm kinda surprised that it is bombing at the box office. However, the movie is quite bland, predictable (thanks to posters and trailers), filled with logical inconsistencies and overall highly forgettable.

The de-aging technology that was used in the movie was kinda "interesting". It was quite good in dark scenes or in fast paced action scenes where the camera didn't focus on young Will Smith's face for too long. That being said, the de-aging stuff really looked laughable in the last scene where the main characters were out in daylight.
Captain Marvel clearly handeled de-aging better than this movie.


But some people can be funny sha. When it was revealed that the person trying to kill Will Smith was his younger self, some people in the theatre gasped and some even shouted in suprise. I was like WTF!!! How can this possibly be a surprise to you? Did you not see any of the trailers or even the poster for this movie before you came to see it


3/10.

Deceased won't make sense on the big screen

If there has been like 3-4 movies maybe...
Even an R rated animation would be good too

I just "watched" DCeased on YouTube and I must say that I was blown away by the story.
I just wish these what if stories like this one or injustice will see the light of day in a big screen.
