The Six Triple Eight(2024):6.9/10

This biopics tells the inspiring story of the 6888th Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female unit in WWII.

Good:
The storyline is powerful and sheds light on an important part of history I never knew happened until now. Kerry Washington’s performance as Major Charity Adams really stands out—she brings depth and emotion to the role. The soundtrack, especially the song “The Journey” by H.E.R., fits perfectly with the film's tone and adds to the emotional weight.

Bad:
While the story is strong, the dialogue sometimes feels a little overly dramatic and forced. The pacing also drags, which makes the film less engaging at times. On top of that, the production quality, including the sets and makeup, doesn’t always hit the mark and can make the film feel less convincing.

A great effort to honor history, but it’s not as well-made as other top biopics like Hidden Figures or Selma.

BoldBrainz:
We should praise them for doing their bloody jobs ?

So what will now happen if they had foiled a terrorist attack in the airport or aboard a flight? Na to kuku declare three days public holiday in their honor na.

naptu2:
Go to Abuja and ask them.

BoldBrainz:
So because they sedated and evacuated an unruly French passenger from the airport, the entire airport management had to line up and pose for photographs ?

For their mind they just achieved an espionage wonderment that's never been recorded in the aviation history books. Nigeria is a stand-up comedy series!

UPDATE:

Examined by a doctor and placed on a sedative, the unruly French national has finally boarded an Air France flight to CDG, Paris. I was physically present to witness his boarding at 10pm tonight, along with the very capable terminal head, Miriam Anosike who did a… https://t.co/YvEUDXrjgF pic.twitter.com/YfNrQEmUfq

There is nothing like indoctrination in Islamic terrorism, the folks simply read tvier holy book and followed it to letter ...that's fundamental ism

Mynd44:
We should go back to more financial things like land, shares, jewelry etc.

It can help solve the wife's financial needs but then we start having issues of dowry theft which sometimes is perpetrated by the husband himself

Mynd44:
Yes. Y the problem is that if we continue to do this, the practice if dowry will die and end or be limited to pots and pans.

But dowries are a financial bank for the wife against an abusive or irresponsible husband.

It also helps in cases of widows as they already have property to care for them.

bende7t:
In Nigeria context, dowry must be provided by the man as a disguise under a traditional wedding list which comprises of most of those items shown in the pictures above.
While I agree with ur pride price postulation.
This I know!

pocohantas:
I always thought dowry is what is paid for the groom, as in India. But going by your explanation - dowry in my place is what we call IDU ULO. It is a compulsory gift from the bride's family to the bride and the standard is kitchen wares and baby items. If the bride's family has a lot of money, then you can see items like refrigerator, big gas cooker and oven...etc.

In the past my mum said they were always given sewing machines. So I guess the items are modified to meet the times.

I am surprised people are casting aspersions on Southern women because many places in Igboland practise this. I wouldn't know why it doesn't get as much noise as the marriage list.

Mynd44:
I have heard Nigerians use "bride Price" and "Dowry" interchangeably and they seem to think they are the same. People just assume the bride price is the dowry or that they mean the same thing but this is a wrong assumption.

I knew this in Social Studies when I was in Primary 5 and it shocks me when people who I think went to school around the same time (not the current era where I don't understand the curriculum) make the same mistake. Perhaps people just think because they are both possessions and gifts exchanged around the time of a wedding they mean the same but nah. They are very distinct things.

So here is the major difference


From the definition above

1. Bride Price is given to the family of the bride by the groom and/or his family and this is mostly set by the Bride's Family.

2. Dowry is the property or money given to the bride by her family when she marries and she takes these things to her marital home.

In some cultures, Dowries cannot be sold by the couple as it is wealth that passes through only the female line so only the bride's daughter can inherit them. Thats why you see where some families have jewelry that their great grandmother used and a female descendant still wears it. It can even be shares of a company etc.

A Muslim as predicted. He had ISIS flag on his car. We warned you guys about these folks! 🤷🏼

They look and act normal, not until they strike!

Would you prefer the goat is taken off the streets to protect other innocent girls or for the wife to set aside her "grudge" and allow the beast to roam freely on the streets?

cococandy:
This scenario of chasing her into the woods is bringing back some memories. I think I might’ve heard of this case. Shame on him.

pocohantas:
Dude came here to play the victim and claim he was judged unfairly for being black. I can't remember what kinda help he needed from Nlders, but there were many of our resident redpillers willing to communicate with a prisoner to help him get justice in faraway America. Until a nice Nlder dug out his case file and we saw he ______ a minor. I think he smashed her skull or something in the process. So all his family abandoned him. If I remember his username and the thread, I will tag you.

Kewtt:
Thank you ishilove. Happy New Year in advance.

mcjohny:
Already spent more than half of it

Onegai:
See, she's definitely trying to mess with you.

But legally, she has not ended the marriage.

Right now, you can legally say she abandoned the marriage because she moved out. But she can argue she only went for Christmas Holiday (because it has only been 2 weeks).

And since she told you VERBALLY the marriage is over, it means nothing. Because she can deny it later on in court. Verbal anything means nothing.

However, if you send her a MESSAGE stating anything about your lawyer, that is a legally acceptable thing that can stand in court and her lawyer can say "Odafe360 ended his marriage, yunno".

And there's no such thing as "Lawyers will send Divorce Papers to her" in Nigeria, Nigerian Marital Act requires 2 years of continuous separation before you can file a Petition in court and serve your spouse (see how Nollywood is teaching people nonsense like "divorce papers will be served". And if she calls your bluff and says "oya make your lawyer contact me", what next, bro?

Which is why I said you should reply her on a call: "please this decision you have made, put it in writing and send it to me". Calmly. No sweat. Don't mention anything else, no lawyers.

If e sure for her, make she write am.

Hold your mind, na man you be. Don't react in anger or pride or rage, Respond in calmness.

Let's start working on you. A new, improved you

Remember, this is a process, a journey that never ends. And at the end, you will grow for the better. As long as you learn to respond, rather than react.
