KoiceReloaded: "A customer is always right."
It may not always be true, but it's the reality. You have to endeavor to give the consumers what they want, not what you think they want. If you give them what you think they want, your product will be dead-on-arrival. "A customer is always right" The above statement is only 90% true. There are two exceptions to this sentiment. 1. When there are diverse customers, a producer can ignore the majority of customers to focus on a niche. 2. Art. The artist composes what speaks to him and the customers are invited to see the piece of art. In short, a talented artist draws what he likes and the public will still buy it . Point number 2 relates to my point about creative directors. Take tron first example- were movie goers asking for a movie where actors were riding a cgi simulation withing a simulation? Was there any movie like tron before tron? |

KoiceReloaded: It's not so much religiously brainwashed as it's knowing your audience. A film with profane content wouldn't do well in the Nigerian market. Yes. That is true. However, we should also look at the fact that Hollywood directors also push blasphemous and controversial art that the American consumer would revolt against. It is in the western man to challenge the status quo and push his freedom of expression to the limit. Nigerians just like rinse and repeat. Conformity |

KoiceReloaded: FYI, the Spike Lee you hold in such high regard is an embarrassment to the African American community. No one likes him. The shit that comes out of his mouth is embarrassing. I can tell you stories about him, and you wouldn't believe half of them because they are so outrageous, but true nonetheless. Fact is, Spike Lee is a racist. Do know know he had once publicly expressed his disdain for interracial couple? True story.
Quentin Tarantino uses satire to pass a subtle message. He practically created his own genre. The joke's on any black person that criticized his Django Unchained, since the theme was actually on the side of the "minorities". Funnily enough, the movie is more likely to embarrass and annoy more white people than black people (it depicted the whites as weak, racist and stupid), but you gotta look beyond all that and see the real hidden message, which at the core, is strongly anti-oppression. I would argue that Tarantino is bad as well. At least Spike Lee's racism is understandable. He has had a lot of racist experiences. Tarantino has a lot of cringe moments where he talks "black" (ghetto ebonics) when he is among his black cast but normal in other interviews. Watching his interviews just gives me the creeps. |

Not terrible, but I found myself rolling my eyes A LOT. Everything was soooooooooo predictable and the plot, kind of...weak  I liked the movie. Of course the plot would be predictable. It's a fairly tale, albeit a dark one. Snow white the huntsman had the same problem |

Every country has a slum. In the U. S there are slums too. Sadly most of these slums are usually inhabited by black people who go there to spoil their country for them. Look at this hypocrite saying that someone hasn't travelled abroad. The usa slums are inhabited by African americans due to housing segregation and white flight. It is not immigrant Africans spoiling America. |

Kaycee7: Polar 5/10
Another forgettable movie. Mads Mikkelsen probably had free time and decided he could use the extra cash. You need to completely shut down your brain to give this movie a pass. Plot was stupid. The action scenes were over the top and yet forgettable, all the same. None of the characters were engaging, at all. And the nudity was just distasteful and unnecessary. Desperately trying to be edgy. Wonder how some dumbos had the idiotic thought of comparing this to John Wick. No atom of resemblance at all.
Meanwhile, is Katheryn Winnick cosplaying as Snow White here? Cos what burst into my mind the minute I saw her was Hair as black as ebony Lips as red as blood Skin as white as snow  It was a low budget grade c John wick |

ornicus: In my direct own experience tizeti is shit. Someone in the house was abusing the internet use, so my swift subscription was exhausted in less than two weeks. So I decided to try tizeti , which is unlimited at 9500 per month. You pay 45k upfront for them to install their antenna and modem.
The first issue, which may or may not matter to you, is that you are completely locked out of the router they provide. You have to give them the name and password you want. You cannot administer the router.
That was a major bummer for me, as I like to go into my router, change passwords or change name of WiFi or lock out users. As an aside, it’s fun creating MIS he IOU’s WiFi names in an office environment. Create WiFi on your phone and call it brazzers. HUAWEIs modem can be administered via a mobile app. You can go in and block users on your network straight.
The maximum speed I got from them if I recall was 1mb/s. And the connection kept timing out. I use j downloader, and the downloads kept stopping outright, something I have not experienced even on Glo’s worse days. I had to get inventive. The only way I could download was using IDm.
I have a friend who also uses tizeti. He is based in gbagada. Max speed I get there is like 300kb/s.
If you are a true heavy user, imho, you will hate tizeti. Maybe they have improved, but I doubt it. Kai. Tizeti as a company is mad. Their father. So they want to rope innocent Nigerians into shitty download speeds by advertising cheap unlimited data. Back to my spectranet. Still wondering about Smile. |

ornicus: Swift and Spectranet data plans have free periods. Swift is 11 pm to 8am while Spectranet is 1am to 7pm.
Swift gets up to 6mb/s. I can literally download 2gb in less than 10 minutes on swift.
Also, Nani could be working in an isp. No data caps for him.
Wet in pesin no go see for naija. Now we have bandwidth envy.  Swift was the shit in 2013 but by 2015, it was dead. Moved to spectranet. Specteanet is now dead. Maybe I'll go back to switch. Tizeti anyone? |

DannyKoice: The mothafucka knows his audience, I'll give him that. Explosions, car chases and scantily-clad women have been his trusted allies for years. He's smart enough to stay within the boundaries of his comfort zone, unlike pretentious niggas like Spielberg and co. He knows he's a very limited director, and doesn't pretend to be otherwise.  That's why I feel that Tyler Perry and Michael Bay can never grow. Directors that make films for only profit and profit alone. There is no art to their work. Just a monotonous rinse and repeat of a cliche filled movie formula |

DannyKoice: The action scenes were the best part, but the cynic in me couldn't help but notice that they were sometimes big, boomy and boring - basically Michael Bay-esque. You know, an action style that does a lot and nothing simultaneously. Wait. With all the insults Micheal Bay gets, the guy doesn't make box office flops.  |

DannyKoice: I was expecting a more freshed out story, going by the fact that it was advertised as the real sequel to Judgement Day, and for the most part, yeah, it was indeed a true sequel, but the themes were largely the same, and poorly executed at that. It seems repetitive at this point. They should have tried something new with the plot. I loved the action though.... |

Saw this over the weekend, and forgot to drop a review - that's how forgettable it was.
I enjoyed the movie for the most part. Action wasn't terrible, albeit didn't like the way the story ended with them changing nothing. I agree with Jeromeblack's rating. It's more of the same story that we've seen multiple times in the past.
6/10.

Empiree: A PAINFUL END INDEED ... SUBHAN ALLAH
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun
Who would ever imagine that (umm faiz) will end up like this, I don't even know how to start
This is a sister that whenevr you see her, all what your lips can mumble is (ma sha'a Allah). She was a hafeezah. She memorized the whole of sahih bukhari, al bidayah wan nihayah and riyad al saliheen!
The first day I saw her, I can't forget it so easily, it was at an islamic conference program about 8yrs ago! I also remember the day I met her again in a masjid while she was teaching not less than 200 brothers and sisters a chapter in bulughul maram! She teaches people with her whip/ blaller in her hands, a tall nikobite! She had d structure of a man, tough and strict with a thick voice but when she recites, its ma sha Allah. Even during her uni days, she didn't procrastinate, she went to BUK
I remember the day I was told that she single-handedly beat 2 christians in her class for calling her a terrorist, the 2 guys woke up in the school clinic, alhamdulilah the case was judged in her favour because of the timely intervention of some muslim lecturers! She is the type who buys gifts for people, both the young, old, fat, slim, sisters or even brothers! She doesn't need to know you before she buys you a gift, she may just see u along the road, make tasleem for you, give u a book and zoom off! I remember she was the one who bought and taught me the first chapter of umdatul ahqam years back when I visited their school! She was from an average family, her family where all christians but She became the sabab for her family to accept islam all at once!
She feeds beggars in the street, she picks every sharp objects she comes across and disposes them off, she would alight from a taxi not because that's where she wants to alight but because she wants to go and correct a wrong someone is doing by the road side! She busied herself with street da'wah!
Once, a friend of hers asked her about social networking, she said; I am not condemning It and I am in no position to do so, but I can't do it because of the more serious things and I wonder where people find time to chat all day when death could be so close, moreover what have I done for islam?
Her real name was aaliyah but people knew her as umm faiz or umm katamba!
She would weep when teaching people, she would weep when admonishing sisters! She had a unique way of talking, she would be like:"Look at this leaf, don't u know it glorifies Allah? Look at this stone, it recognizes its lord, why have u forgotten ur lord? Look at the sky, don't u see how beautiful it is? That's d greatness of Allah, look at d sand, how dry it looks, yet ur body whom u adorn daily was made from it
This words and the likes are d choice of words that umm faiz normaly use, as soon as she meets u on d road, she starts telling u about nature and the majesty of Allah, she doesn't need to see you committing sin before she starts admonishing you, her arabic was smooth and fluent, she memorized many songs by scholars in arabic, songs about adab!If u are with her, she alwys reminds u about Allah, she never observes salat in the masjid, except that she weeps! She did ruqyah for many sisters, she bought jilbab and nikab for many, she once threathened a lecturer who deliberately failed her! She was fearless! She once washed the dead body of her younger cousin sista, I heard she had a kaffan (white cloth for shrouding the dead) in her room in her hostel to keep reminding her about death! Ya salam, I wish you all knew the sista am talking about, merely seeing her is a naseeha!
Her character speaks louder than her words, she wrote some articles about islam, she was one of the best students in her class! Despite all this, if you were to ask her a question concerning the deen, she will always tell you (la adri--i don't know).
But the sad story is, after all this, our dear sister APOSTATED! What a fitnah befalling the ummah!!!
What a moment of reflection !!!!!!
After she graduated, people used to say while she was serving, she had a christian friend who was so close to her, people were worried as to how she became so close to this unbeliever while she is strict to some muslims especially men!
She served in the same place at a secondary school wit this christian guy! Gradualy her hijab began to reduce and she started using make-up, she removed her niqab, so she then embraced christianity because of this guy!
She ran away from home, her mobile lines were not going through anymore but she was spotted at lagos at a night club! As at 3 months ago, her dad died of stroke as a result of this, her mum developed high blood pressure; she was their only daughter!
The sad story is, I was told yesterday evening that she died 3 days ago in the evening in a hotel during maghrib time in port harcourt while she was in bed with a man!
The man ran out of the room in a suspicious way so d hotel attendants caught him, though autopsy test made on her shows that she wasn't poisoned or strangled in any way, but the man said, she suddenly died while they were both intimate!
Naoudhubillahi min zaalik SubhanAllah!
This was a sister who was always the first to enter the masjid for salat even before the muadhin, now she was commiting zina while maghrib salat was going on? Indeed no one is safe from the lures of shaitan!
The prophet (SAW) said, a man is likely to follow the religion of his friend, so mind whom you choose as friends!The prophet also said, the way you live is the way you will also die!
A cousin of umm faiz said that umm faiz was charmed by the outstanding handsome nature of the christian guy who led her astray! For those of us who still keep kufar as intimate friends, learn from this story, strengthen your al walah wal barah!
Imam ibn jawzi (RA) said, learn from the stories of those who existed before you, before you become a story for those who will exist after youUmm faiz was a sister who rejected d proposals of many brodaz because none of them was a haafiz, I wonder what was in the appearance of the christian guy that she couldn't see what was better in muslim brothers.
This reminds me of the statement of a companion!Abdul ahi ibn masud said,Indeed you see a disbeliever with the healthiest body and the sickest heart, you will also see a believer with an unhealth body and the purest heart, I swear by Allah, if your heart is sick and your body is healthy, you will be more USELESS to Allah than dung beetles. (Al fawaid, page 213)
How good was the timing of her death but how evil the way she died! The angel of death was destined to meet her at maghrib time, IF she was still a muslim perhaps she would have died while performing maghrib salah, but alas, d angel of death met her at maghib time while salat was going on bt she was fornicating in a hotel!
Audhubillahi min suu'ill haatima (we seek refuge in Allah from such an evil end) Ameen
The Grave is calling......! Listen very very carefully! Oh son of Adam! I'm full of darkness so bring with you the light of Salaat. I'm a place of fear, so bring with you the peace of Al-Quran. I'm full of snakes and scorpions so bring with you the Sunnah of our Beloved Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam). I'm full of punishment so bring with you the reward of charity/sadaqah.
DON'T FORGET ME AS I AM EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR ARRIVAL......!
Please do not keep this reminder to yourself, share with your beloved ones. Empiree and his fake news. Fake story to whip up emotions in the ummah. |
