Mesmeric' movie on secret lives of Nigeria's rich wows Cannes

Cannes (France) (AFP) – A wonky mosaic in the shape of Nigeria plays a subtly telling role in Arie and Chuko Esiri's Cannes Film Festival break-out hit "Clarissa".

"Arie, the older of the two director brothers, told AFP that shooting with his twin is a kind of superpower, admitting he usually plays the tough guy on set.

"We're twins but we're wired differently. I'm right-handed," said Chuko, "and he's left-handed. He's visual, I'm more narrative."

Two Nigerias
"Clarissa", told in restrained flashback, is as much about post-independence Nigeria as it is about its upper crust, which the brothers say they know only too well, having "been born into it"."

"Critics at Cannes have found the twins' sly post-colonial take on Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs Dalloway" one of the most affecting movies of the year so far.

"How lucky we are" they took it on, wrote the Hollywood Reporter's Lovia Gyarkye, while The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw called the movie "seductive" and "mesmeric".

'Clarissa' Review: Sophie Okonedo in a Sharp Take on 'Mrs. Dalloway'

With its stream-of-consciousness style and fragmented perspectives, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway is a beguiling novel with understandably few adaptations. Marleen Gorris tried with her shaky 1997 film starring Vanessa Redgrave as the titular protagonist and Rupert Graves as the tragic Septimus. A film inspired by a book inspired by Woolf (Michael Cunningham’s The Hours) followed, and a handful of stage adaptations came and went. Now, Arie and Chuko Esiri, the twin brothers behind the critically acclaimed drama Eyimofe, attempt their own translation — and how lucky we are for that.

Not All Nollywood Movies Can Be On YouTube

“First of all YouTube is a low-budget business model. I make films for N300 million to N500 million and up to N600 million. And unfortunately, I can’t put such films on YouTube.

“YouTube is not going to generate the revenue to cover this amount invested. So, the YouTube business model for a filmmaker is well suited to a low-budget production.

“So, it only means that as more filmmakers migrate to the YouTube platform, there’s going to be more low-budget films in production and less of the bigger budget films. - Moses Inwang

Majority of Nigerian babes are with you for the benefits.
They are double dating other guys behind your back.
They are spongers.

A babe was engaged to be married to a man who was accommodating her, but she went to have sex with another man whilst his fiance was at work.

Any man who has been used by a woman to cheat on another man is not wise.
Because she is going to cheat on you later.
What goes around comes around.

They can sell on Amazon!
Where I have sold up to $2000 of fashion and beauty products.
A customer in Nigeria even purchased shoes for $36 in 2019.

They can promote their designs on LinkedIn.

They can attend Beauty Eurasia
2 - 4 September 2026 • IFM (Istanbul Expo Center) , Turkey.

The biggest opportunity is to showcase their designs at the annual Cannes Film Festival.

Right from the beginning, all football lovers were Arsenal fans. Then the smokers among them, the rapists, the cheats, the womanizers started supporting ManU. Finally the drunkards, the drugists, the cultists and occultists, the village people and the touts started supporting Chelsea. You will all die because of the progress of Arsenal
Why this much hate? I will tell you for free: half of the haters of Arsenal don't even know the club. They don't watch their matches. They just hate Arsenal because others are hating them. Some don't even know that Arsenal has 13 league titles, 16 FA Cups and 2 European Titles
They just inherited the hate emanating from Chelsea and ManU fans. Just see the number of ex ManU an Chelsea players that have made a global embarrassment of themselves just because they want to water down the efforts of the best team in the world right now. The few smart ones among the haters have decided to keep quiet because they know that a day will come when the most hated club in the world will break the jinx of lifting trophies and that time is now. All football fans around the world should just relax and enjoy but all haters should die!
ARSENAL FOR LIFE!

You forgot to include the community shield trophies for the overall champions of England.

Most of them are parodies of the MET GALA. Some of them are ridiculous.

It's worth celebrating whenever a team is facing Arsenal in an European competition final. Chelsea dashed Arsenal 4-1 in Europa league final. Barca dashed Arsenal 2-1. Arsenal don't know how to play European Cup finals. Go and verify.

"I'm Not Ashamed Of My Faith In Jesus Christ" - US Secretary Of Defense

US Secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, when grilled about his faith during a heated Senate hearing said:

“I don’t know what you’re insinuating, Senator, but I am not ashamed of my faith in Jesus Christ. If you want to shame me for it, go ahead… I’ve heard people like you try to smear my character, and I won’t give in to it.”

I recently said that the best proof of the Creator existence is His creation.

This atheist turned believer after returning from the moon fly by, has just proven and confirmed that saying as true.

It only took for him to see the magnificence of the creation, to realize that it couldn't have possibly come into existence without a Creator.

I also remember when Victor Glover, the Artemis II pilot, had finished preaching on the space craft, this same man, Reid Wiseman, who was on the far right, had reached out his hands to him in acknowledgment of what he just said, therefore not really surprised that he later acknowledged it himself, and started weeping in adoration of the Creator, after seeing a Christian cross, because he was already on his way to the cross.

The creation of God go humble you even an atheist.

God bless.

I recently said that the best proof of the Creator existence is His creation.

If God does not exist, we cannot exist

Atheism is not a religion.
Atheism is a lack of belief in religion or anything supernatural.

Majority of the so called atheists in the house are fake atheists like the first black Nobel Laureate of Literature, Prof. Wole Soyinka who says he does not believe in God, but believes in the Yoruba Orisa gods and goddesses.
Like saying you don't believe in the existence of God, but you believe in the existence of demons and spirits.

Not believing that God exists does not mean He does not exist.
It only means you are ignorant of His existence within the scope of your knowledge.

by Sunday-Akanni M.

The Original Commission God has given to us as humans is to possess and exercise dominion. Not just to know that you are meant to dominate the earth and its accompanying systems, but to actually exercise dominion indeed.


"Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28

Now, we have to acknowledge the fact that dominion is sacred and expensive. Fortunately, influence is a potent currency to purchase dominion. Influence has been explained as the ability to cause a person and a territory to buy into your convictions or ideology without using force or cruelty.

You must understand that becoming influential is not the same as being famous, as you don't need to be famous to be influential.

As a Christian, the purpose of your aim to be influential is for the advancement of God's perfect Will in your space. When a believer possess influence over a set of people, you can lead them to submit to Jesus and kingdom lifestyle.

Humans are made to be influenced, and there are mind control systems that shape the opinions and lifestyles of people.

Now, there are different ways to build influence, including becoming an expert or authority in something (the knowledge route), building something (particularly something that solves a human problem via innovation or invention), etc.

The highest expression of the nature of God in an individual is creativity. Everyone has the ability of God to build something, and it is what you build that gives you credibility. People will easily believe what you say on the basis of what you have built.

In Genesis 1:1, we were told - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." When we were introduced to this Being known as God, the very first thing He showcased about Himself was that He is a Creator. God didn't have to start making noise and bullying everyone to submit to Him . He simply started showcasing His creativity by creating, building, and manufacturing things.

You can innovate or invent anything that will bring solutions to any of the human problems around the world, and people and systems will naturally submit themselves to your leadership. You will become influential over them and lead them into the loving arms of the Lord Jesus.
