Maannn...I haven't really any of Chimamanda Adichie's book despite all the raves they get. The only one i have read was, a short novella titled "Notes on Grief", and it was suggested to me, to get out a personal loss 😞. It was so good, and the writing style was top notch... I need to get into her works more 🤔
WHAT THE FCKIN FCK! That's an abomination. I recommend starting with Purple Hibiscus

Those stories are blockbusters in Nigeria's level. A Things Fall Apart adaptation will always be regarded as a blockbuster in Nigeria no matter who's adapting it. Same as Half of a Yellow Sun, Joys of Motherhood, Purple Hibiscus, The Last Days at Forcados High School, Arrow of God etc...

Damn, I need to go read some of these I missed.


Hollywood financial power and ours is different.
A blockbuster is not something that is just popular - maybe you're right

TV/MoviesRe: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Illusioneffect(m): 9:39am On Oct 15, 2024
OhBritannia:
citadel Diana entire season 1 is a solid 8/10 for me.

The plot in this series is one thing i love about this series, it got to episode 5 before you fully realise what is going on and who really killed who.
Damm!! This is why i love spy series or movies that someone has to act as a double agent, working for an enemy agency isn't easy at all..

Since this series was set in a future 2030, i am made to believe that the breathtaking technological advancements we see in this series is them trying to tell us what they have in store for us for the future.
Where an item like a biro can fully transform into a full blown huge gun, where someone don't need to introduce himself or herself to you before you know who the person is, all you gats do is put something like an eye lid in your eyes and the person's entire information will flash down your eyes, though this technology is only for specific agents.

Another revelation this series tells you is that soon people's lives will now be at the hands of these agencies and government, all they have to do is put something inside the central water system and anyone from the city that drinks the water, their whole life's information and location is already been watched.
I have seen this being played out in so many series but i guess they are telling us ahead of their plans.
Sometimes i do appreciate living in Nigeria where we can dig our own bore holes because soon water being supplied by the government can't be trusted anymore, who is to say they haven't started it already in cities in usa and the UK.

Anyways back to the series proper, i can't believe the foolish son killed his own dad all because of a girl, the fool don't know that it is the same girl that killed his brother, same spy agent.

Season 2 will be interesting, i want to look at his face when he sees the foolish decision he has made.
🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
An absolute shit of a series!! I couldn't get past an episode without cringing. From now on any series you recommend I know it's shit

Invincible might stuggle to build up hype again after it's poor release schedule and underwhelming second season

I could rewatch the first season, but I don't think there was anything in the second season worth rewatching...
Underwhelming keh? It was a great season and it garnered more viewers than the last one. It was not as outstanding as the first but it was great nonetheless. The only problem was the release schedule

I read the piece and The title is as clickbaity as they come and the entire thing feels oxymoronic because this adaptation is 100% Hollywood as far as we know, and i still can't see how it helps Nollywood get ahead.

Why is the industry just showing interest now that a foreign industry has picked it up? why haven't they done an adaptation since the last one yester yester years ago?

Fact is, If Hollywood continues to pick up Nigerian literature to adapt, the praises sadly does not come to Nollywood. Nollywood can start doing themselves a favor, by adapting the 100s of good literature we have here.

He had a lot of funny words about cyber truck buyers and he was clear it's for people with more money than actual sense who want to make that statement.

Did you read what you wrote up there?

'Unlike other trucks it's useful for trucking'
That is his opinion🤷🏽‍♂️ like I said which you tried to sway - Unlike other trucks it's useful for trucking AND luxury, energy sufficient, modern and more

The tesla is not advertised as a luxury car, you vacuous dunce!

Elon musk himself said it is what blade runner would have driven. He says the car is bullet proof.

I guess the real market is cospalyers. People who will never actually need a truck
Unfortunately for you truckers who don't want to buy a gas truck but an EV are actually buy it for your information that's why it's the best selling EV truck this year ahead of the Ford EV. Families are buying it to. Unlike other trucks it's useful for trucking and can also be luxurious, fast, modern and more energy sufficient them other gas and EV trucks.
So you definitely don't have a point.

that's why I asked her to go watch him. He criticizes the Truck and he is a Tesla lover, If armyofone is interested in a cyber truck then she should watch his review. I watched it 2 days ago. Army is not an engineer. if she wants to use it as a luxurious car, it is okay. it is when you want to do stuff you do with the F150 you start to see issues.

I doubt you even watched the review.

The problem with whiny magats is how much they love to lie to themselves.

Just as there are liberal spaces on reddit, there are conservative spaces. There is even a cybertruck thread on reddit.

The big difference though is that most of the conservative spaces are always blocked to outsiders. I wonder why.

You have whistling diesel review
You have rich Rebuilds review

Keep on with the copium

Maybe you want tucker Carlsons review tongue
I don't think you get my point. You can't label a product bad when there's overwhelming evidence that it's actually good. I can bring out thousands of reviews that says it's a great truck and some that says it's bad.
Even the California police are using cybertrucks now 🤷🏽‍♂️ and building companies too.
80% of Reddit mods that aren't even political spaces delete post about Trump being good there's even a full 1 hour documentary on that but they leave post of people drawing out plans to kill right wing folks IN A PUBLIC THREAD! Conservative Redditors are in a bubble if they leave that bubble for normal Reddit it's chaos

Please go ahead and buy one

A fool and his money are soon parted and like cybertruck owners they make for great entertainment.
Why didn't you take him to an actual review of the car instead of reddit. Everyone knows Reddit doesn't like anything Elon Musk - imagine SpaceX catching a whole freaking skyscraper yesterday but Reddit turned it into a negative😂 because 'Elon bad' like you. Cybertruck is an innovation in an industry that's so stagnant and was looking for something to be excited about.

Cybertruck is not perfect of course but it's not a bad product either no matter what you think and a better product than most trucks - you don't have to like Elon Musk to say that.

according to you - elon is a business genius who wound up paying more than the actual value of twitter - then in less than two years knocked the value down by over 60%? is that how you generate value?

is that how business geniuses work?

have you been following the news about musk's other work of art, the cybertruck? the apocalypse proof vehicle that cannot be driven safely in a car wash and falls apart when used for actual truck stuff?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_scBKKHi7WQ

real revolutionary development right there

a host of suckers in elons cult are throwing 70k a pop to beta test an expensive lemon
he definitely is a genius though - for getting people to pay 70k plus for a vehicle not worth 30k
If you know anything about the auto industry - 80% of new generation cars or automobiles have several issues when first released to the public. If the Cybertruck wasn't safe, it will never have been publicly available. I've been watching Whistlin' for a while and he goes to the extreme to test the endurance of cars. 99.999% of actual owners of this vehicles would never do this. It's way safer than most trucks and more durable and of course more energy efficient. How tf would an EV cost 30k when a normal gasoline truck is way more than that don't be stupid bro.
Have you even actually seen or driven a cybertruck?😂 I've actually seen many up close here in Dallas brother and people are loving it and paying. It's the third best selling EV in Q3 of 2024. Stop squandering your data in just the dark side of cybertruck haters and see the big picture

Boeing is most likely not going anywhere.
Too many entrenched interests and government contracts.
In 2023 37% of its revenue came from government contracts.

This mess is another thing Trump gave us. Regulation is there for a reason. And you don't see the need for it, until something catastrophic happens. Then it's too late. Illusioneffect, isn't this one of Trump's regulatory framework changes you said was good for the US. How is that working out?
Reducing regulations didn't affect the FAA's performance - it certainly is not the FAA'S fault, it's Boeing. Boeing has been having a disastrous run since 2013 way before Trump and Biden. Then when they implemented the Equity and Inclusion policy hiring more by the color of your skin, gender and sexuality rather than pure engineering skills it became way worse

Vergeis is definitely a leftie media.
Musk is loathed because the Deep State cannot control it as they did before. When the deep state is out to get you, leftie media softens the public.
Everyone keeps hating while Elon Musk keeps winning. Tesla was 3 days away from bankruptcy in 2008 now they are one of the most valuable companies in the world and the only EV company that is profitable.
SpaceX is on track to be the most profitable company in 2026😪.

it is called vaporware.
Wow and I once respected you- how can you be so close-minded😪. Elon Musk said it'll be an everything app. Did he give a timeline? He has already added Grok to X, added streaming, added video calls, created a creator economy were 80% is given to creators on X. I and my team on X have made up to $8k on X alone and we don't even post a lot. Creating an everything app takes time. Elon has achieved something in 2 years other companies can't in 12 years.
Bro, you have no significant argument just keep quiet and continue hating on him in silence just because he has a different political view than you

You think if Musk to sell X , the buying price would be 9 billion. The way the left would love to control it.
I would put it at $100 B.

Boeing has technical issues,emphasis on profits share prices, competition, govt contracts plus DEI.My guess is that they will utvdiem mostly non technical staff.
With his work and success on Neuralink and SpaceX- it's estimated Elon Musk could be a trillionaire in 2027.
In three years X won't just be a social media company - you can imagine what it could be going forward

It is only in your right wing fever dream that Boeing's woes are being attributed to dei. Actual technical and business journals place the issues where they belong - short thinking corner cutting to please the shareholders. Making 'shareholder value' the company watchword. It makes one wonder exactly what appears in your daily feed.




Maybe you have also somehow missed all the articles about twitters current market value.

The less you cap about musk, the better.

Maybe it is dei hires that are led to a drop in value from 44 billion to under 10 billion
X's value was never 44 billion dollars👀 and you know that- people started buying Twitter stocks because Musk said he was going to buy it thereby overvaluing the stock to turn in a profit - that was why Elon Musk was sued🤷🏽‍♂️.
I can't believe people like you still doubt Elon - none of his companies have been failures. XAi is currently being implemented on X and it's valued to be worth more than openai - that'll definitely increase X's stocks. In three years - X is estimated to be profitable - something Twitter never could for more than 12 years. It's not about the stocks- it's about profitability. People said X will die out😂 now it's more important than ever.
Elon is doing things no one ever thought was possible and you're here talking about stocks of two years ago

Prices are going up because of population growth - not because of a great economy. Lands will always be an asset because people would always buy. If an average American can't afford a house anymore except you're earning up to $100,000 when they could in 2019 that's not growth

In the most expensive state, drove past nice new communities not long ago and they are almost sold out in a very short time. Builders every where...and these are expensive condos, townhouses, luxury apartments, single family homes of 4,000 sq etc

About Texas: people I know transferred to Texas recently and they each bought beautiful single family home.
There are jobs - hot jobs!

And if you have a job, you can buy home, pay your mortgage and property ins...as long as you don't overindulge in the "show off thing"

So bro, maybe you don't know the real story why they are unable to pay mortgage, pay bills, live well etv
😭😭😭😭😂
This is actually mind-blowing😂 you believe building expensive houses means things are great. Housing costs have skyrocketed by 80% since Biden came into office and that is a fact sir, it doesn’t matter if they're building beautiful houses- that's the fault of California migrants coming to Texas after destroying the costs in their own cities
