For Maria Èbún Pàtàkí (2020).


"When i no sleep, my mother no go sleep....she nor dey tire eh....oh really?"


There are times when Nollywood surprises me with thier strong storytelling which seems to always strengthen my convictions that this Industry can make gems like this, that touch on important topics without the usual trope of the "raz", crass, unnecessary loudness and prop, we have been used to in recent times.

Damilola Orimogunje's For Maria Èbún Pàtàkí, touch on a "forbidden" topic and dared where no other film maker in recent times in this clime has dared to venture. For a runtime of a little over an hour, it tells a story of "Derin", who after a traumatic birth experience, falls into postpartum depression and feels disconnected from the child, and basically everyone around her, failing to even realize what was going on and how to even help because the normal "Nigeria condition" doesn't allow for trivia stance like been "depressed" and any form of mental health check is taken with levity here, and so, our dear Aderinsola is easily just tagged as a "Bad mother".

The whole thing was done in basically one location with about 5 cast, but with this meagre resources they were able to tell a very important story with alot of takeaways. Gabriel Afolayan shines here, as he always do, but Meg Otanwa's Aderinsola portrayal of a new mother with zero emotional attachment, was the real deal.her mannerism and utterances were all too real, a clear sign of a supreme performance.

The set location and cinematography was blended in a gloomy and dark way, which horned home the narrative and made it easily relatable, they also threw in some macabre score to serenade the whole thing. They were sound editing and mixing issues but i will forgive those.

i can't promise this is a happy story, far from it, it is as gloomy and dark as they come, but it is a good watch, and i wish more Nigerian filmmakers are this bold to tell, these type of stories.

8/10.
I'm surprised I'm just reading about this movie. Is it available for download?

Na real sauce of the news.

I'm telling you, even with this, many families won't listen. You'll start hearing lamentation upon lamentation like "shey when I fvck my wife dem dey Derek, wey dem dey talk say make we no collect bribe price" or "na when e reach my turn to collect their own, after dem collect for my own, nahim dem come dey talk say, no more bride price? Tufiakwa" etc. All this in their nature dialect of course. Lol.

Similar thing happen when I was staying in Otukpo. The Ochedoma gave strict warning that families should stop making bride price expensive etc. He even made sure the village chieves,, actually try to enforce it. It was in my presence, I saw when the villagers actually chased a village chief away, for trying to enforce it. The dude had to leave his vehicle and ran away, if not, dem for beat shege comot for him body. grin grin cheesy cheesy

Many people need therapy, they just don't know it. The OP sounds pretty messed up in the head so what you're reading here is a product of a messed up mind

Don't mind the cloutinus. I blame bloggers for giving talentless folks like him a platform to misbehave and gain relevance.

Anyway, Portable must be having a very good laugh wherever he is now. After cursing Portable, it is Bobrisky that has been having the never ending problems, including public disgrace and jail term. The irony

Please dear Daddy and Mommy, forgive me for bringing this here. am doing this because av run out of options and I don't have any other choice. My name is kelly, I gave birth to my boy Ayomide 2 years ago and since then it has been a rollercoaster of one event to another. My fiance abandoned us and I move in back with my parents taking care of my son all alone without any assistance even though he was always falling very sick all the time. I notice that he always feels discomfort when his trying to breath so I looked for money to take my son to the hospital. He was diagnosed with congenital heart defect, a hole in his heart, as the cause of his breathing problems. I've cried my eyes out but if only crying can solve problem. I can't stand to see my child in pain.

I've gone almost everywhere I can possibly go but no hope except for hospital. Doctors say that he will need to undergo surgery at UCH for N4.5million and my family with the help of some very kind hearted people have been able to raise part of N3 million. We have sold off almost everything valuable to us but it's not yet enough, that why I am appealing to well meaning Nigerians, if you're touched to save my son's life, please find it in your kind heart to extend a hand of help to him. Nothing is too small in the sight of God. Am calling kind hearted people, please help save my boys life. Please am also calling upon any NGO that can accept my sons condition please. May God almighty bless you immensely and wipe away sorrow from your eye. Amen.

Do you go around hunting for sick people's photos? First it was that one with the tumour. Now it's a sick baby.

You are disgusting and the sicknesses you have been posting up and down because you want to scam people will eventually become your portion.

The narrator speaks very well and pronounced his words with clarity and proper elocution.

What I see here is an entertainer and comedian who actually had talent and was using cross dressing for purely entertainment purposes, not the talentless misfits parading around these days under the umbrella of crossdressing.

Lions kill themselves. But the title is misleading because they definitely didn't eat him. When you enter the territory of another pride or when they want to take over a lioness. They kill the cubs she had with a previous mate and give her their own belle.
I know Lions kill themselves. I just have never come across a scenario where they went ahead and cannibalized a dead rival

Celebrities / Re: Jnr Pope: AGN Suspends All Movies In Riverine Areas, Boat, Bans Adanma Luke by Ishilove: 12:46pm On Apr 11
immortalcrown:
Many questions:

1.
Mr./Mrs. Blogger and AGN, what exactly is Adamma's offense in this case? Be specific.

2.
AGN, how does suspension of shooting along riverines mean the prevention of further boat mishaps? How does your suspension help those whose daily survival depends on boat transportation? Or, are you saying you don't care about Nigerians who do not belong to your production crews? Making life jackets compulsory for boat journeys is more effective than your suspension. I know you are not the government. But the right thing for you to do it to call on both the government and the public to improve transport systems.

3.
Is suspending movie shooting along riverines better than making safety measures compulsory for such shootings? So, a movie producer that offers standard transport systems to his or her crew members should not go on with his or her production? Don't you sound unwise here?

4.
How was the body of Junior Pope recovered from the river but the other victims are still missing? Was it just by a chance or was there a preferential treatment in the rescue attempt?

I know that Adamma should have provided standard transport systems for her team. I am not saying she is not guilty of anything here. But there are two facts here. One, other producers have previously and repeatedly used the method Adamma used, meaning that the AGN was never proactive. Therefore, AGN should equally blame and suspend itself. AGN should admit its flaws rather than putting all the blames on Adamma. Two, aren't the crew members old enough to insist on getting life jackets for the boat journey? Security requires collective efforts but the protection of your life begins with you.

The day I entered a boat, the skippers were careless. They had life jackets but asserted that I and my friends were safe without the jackets. This was in Lake Victoria oh (probably the deepest or biggest lake in Africa)! I and my friends insisted on wearing the jackets. At the middle of the journey, the boat started leaking. But no mishap. The point is that accident can happen but your safety begins with you.
God forbid I enter any boat without a life jacket. I cannot swim so entering an open boat without a jacket is madness
