You cannot be carrying the bucket throughout without getting tired. Oga, if you had given her that bucket for only 5mins she won't even be making a video how much more mocking.
Don't listen to any yeye plea. These people are funny. One idiot is on Facebook ranting. Well, I no blame them, I blame we Christians wey no get unity. Greed is dividing us.

I wonder why video cleaner is always clean no matter what. That time na Don Williams be our special cleaner. I remember using beetles in spoilt dried up mango to make telephone. You shake it and put your ear and hear the beetle move and we say hello. There was an urban legend that if you mix coke and Fanta and drink you'll die. I remember the toughest and roughest game of all 'WAR START!!!'

.I was just being careful of not making it look like I'm desperate to have him. I already showed him I like him. I think if he wanted things to escalate, he wouldn't back out that way
jackals: I'm a beautiful woman in my 30s (33 precisely) with a good career and a budding startup in the make-up business. I'm also very humble and I'm one that appreciate the little things a man do. Recently, I got linked to a guy who just came back from the US and have the intention of settling down just like me. He's successful and very respectful the First time we met, and I was already looking forward to something meaningful with him.
Last week Sunday, he took me out. When I got back home, I noticed I've embarrassed myself too much by literally throwing myself at him. I withdrew and form busy by not responding to his texts and calls for two days. WhatsApp message read but not replied.
On Tuesday, I noticed he didn't message me for the whole day. But I became bothered. Up till now, he has not called me nor message me. I didn't want things to be like this, I just didn't want it to be like I'm desperate of his attention.
Is he that he has moved on or not really interested
Silas6: I Used a big Stone to kill this crocodile this morning at my work place. I thought that it was alligator or monitor lizard but on a closer examination we discovered that it is a baby crocodile.
That thing has double life oo! I hit it with more that five big stones before it finally died.
I dey fear o! I no fit chop am I don carry am give aboki
That's good. Kill or be killed. I've always wanted to know how the skin of a crocodile feels when you touch it. Is it hard like the back of a tree?
I did not spoil anything for anybody, and I put out a clear disclaimer before I started writing. You missed that?
I didn't miss anything. I read your piece and I said it was a nice writeup. You're a spoiler cos u just explained the whole movie just few days after it came out. I can tell you love movies. Next time keep it short with very little details to entice your readers and not spoil it for them. Have a nice day
safarigirl: Yes, I am quite aware it is 4:00AM Nigerian time, and yet, I am wide awake, about to drop a review that will most likely be lengthy, so, you already know how bomb this watch was.
Please, if you have not watched Blood Sisters, I am about to unapologetically ruin the suspense for you, so, if you would like to maintain the purity of a good watch, I would advise you stop reading at this point, and perhaps return after watching.
Without further ado, here goes the review of the year (for me)
Movie: Blood Sisters
Producer(s): EbonyLife Studios (Mo Abudu), Netflix Director(s): Biyi Bandele, Kenneth Gyang Cast: Ini-Dima Okojie Nancy Isime Kate Henshaw Wale Ojo Deyemi Okanlawon Ramsey Noah Gabriel Afolayan Kehinde Bankole Genoveve Umeh Ibrahim Suleiman Daniel Etim-Effiong Uche Jombo Keppy Ekpeyong Run Time: 4 episodes of 1 hour each
Plot: Best friends Sarah Duru (Okojie) and Kemi Sanya (Isime), go on the run, after the accidental murder of Sarah's wealthy, influential, but extremely abusive fiancee, Kola Ademola (Okanlawon). In the hunt for the girls, secrets are revealed that threaten the facade the Ademola family matriarch, Uduak (Henshaw), has built over the years.
Review:
Hmm...like earlier stated, this is about to be a long read, because I cannot begin this review without going through a vote of thanks.
First of all, I would like to thank Aunty Mo Abudu for this brilliant work. I know I heavily shat on that atrocity of a movie they used to open the year for us, so, in the same light, I am here to douse this production in accolades.
The plot of this series was brilliant, and whoever suggested it be shot as a Limited Series, must have been communing with the angels at the time, because nothing else could have quite done justice to this Series and the many intricacies the plot presented. There were so many layers to the story, so many parts, it wasn't just a straightforward 'girls kill rich guy and go on the run' story. We were introduced to subplots; some other suspects, a sordid past, a dysfunctional family, bribery, blackmail, organ harvesting, all interwoven into one storyline. Lesser writers would have muddled it all up, but kudos to the writers of this story, because no one plotline swallowed the other. Although Sarah Duru and Kemi Sanya were the leads, I feel like the plotline allowed every other actor to shine, while not overshadowing the premise of the story. The scriptwriting in this, is possibly the best of any Nigerian production on Netflix in the last couple of years. Guys, there were punchlines, especially from Officer Joe 'Chicago' Obasanjo (Wale Ojo),there were quotable quotes. Ah, they finished work with the script.
My next point has to be the costuming, because the casting is so good, I may have to save it for later. If you're a fashion enthusiast, I imagine you must have been shrieking in glee at every outift reveal, particularly with Uduak Ademola (Henshaw), every piece was a hit, and damn if Miss Henshaw didn't wear the fabric off everything that got on her skin. I just dey see "couture, couture" everywhere, Netflix's budget did not go into any cheap shit, you can tell. Another character whose outfits I really enjoyed, whole not being flamboyant, has to be Akin's (Daniel Etim-Effiong). It was all simple, sleeveless kaftans, but they were so age appropriate and classy. Yinka Ademola (Kehinde Bankole), also had some outfits that will have you contacting your favourite clothes vendor for a wardrobe update. Every outfit was a hit, and you know Miss Bankole had the body for those fits.
Next up, settings. Now, you all know Lekkiwood would not be Lekkiwood if no be Lagos dem set the film. We really waka round Lagos, where we no reach? We saw Lekki, we saw Falomo, we saw a private beach (I'm not sure if it was Oniru or Elegushi), we enter village, and of course, our favorites tourist site, Makoko, also got a great feature. We were treated to scenes in the luxurious and palatial mansions the Ademolas called home, and we also got to see the simple, sparse abode of the hitman Blade, (Sam), we saw a modern beach house, and the inside of a bamboo house in a quaint village. The budget was very generously spread out in the location choices, and it all worked out for good.
Next up, cinematography. Brethren, at this point, I need not go into details of how amazing the cinematography was in this movie. At no point did I not see anything clearly. The screen clear die, there were enough views of the horizon, the lighting was awesome, I only had to see Eko bridge once and never again, because other things dey to shoot, the transitions were brilliant, and the effects, flawless....but cinematography is one thing you can trust EbonyLife on, if nothing else.
And now, without further ado, I would like to touch the casting. This one will possibly continue through another post, because I would really like to delve into some of my favourite performances, but generally speaking, the casting in this movie was nothing short of brilliant. Finally, we have an All-Star cast that did not combust with too much star power. I mean, y'all saw the main cast earlier, you know you cannot assemble such a cast without creating magic, especially when the script was so good. The guest stars were TOP Stars, from Joke Silva to Segun Arinze, Tope Tedela, Patrick Doyle, Okey Uzoeshi, Zack Orji, Toyin Abraham, Edo Dike, Denrele, and still, each of these people delivered their lines with such sleek professionalism. In fact everybody was exceptional. I hadn't seen Ini-Dima pull out a performance as good as what she gave in this, for a long time. I had almost started doubting her acting skill, because she was getting such lazy, mediocre scripts and her performances were reflecting that, but this time, she thoroughly stepped up, I most enjoyed her expressions, she sold the whole 'abused partner' role to the letter, and Nancy Isime was brilliant as usual, but these two while delivering brilliantly, were not my favorites. With the delivery, I would also like to properly appreciate Deyemi Okanlawon and Ramsey Noah. See, guys, Deyemi only featured in the first episode, as in, that was the only episode we actually got to see him speak, and interact, yet, his aura carried through to the last episode. It always felt like I was still watching him, even when he did not even feature. And then, there was Oga Ramsey Noah, see, una see this acting thing, leave am for Ramsey. He pulled off the role of Henchman in ways only someone with over 400 acting credits to his name and 20+ years of experience would be able to pull it off, while dressed in what is turning out to be his signature all black suit. I'm not sure Ramsey had more than 4 lines the entire 4 episodes of that Series, yet, we felt his every mood. You could tell when he was bored, when he was angry, when he was frustrated, when he was nonchalant, and yet, he never had to deliver any dialogue to relay his state of mind. It was just in his carriage and body language. Still, Ramsey was not the breakout star for me in this Series, because we all know what Ramsey can do.
For the sake of length, I would like to stop writing on the cast at this point, and just give a general conclusion that this Limited Series was brilliant. This is the kind of stuff Nollywood should be putting out on the international front, just so Netflix won't think we are a waste of funds. While this series did not thoroughly deviate from some of the tropes Lekkiwood and Aunty Mo like to explore like the cold, unwelcoming matriarch, the obnoxiously wealthy family marrying from a middle class family, and of course, a flamboyant owambe party for the culture, these tropes did not get to swallow the essence of a good old drama. Everything blended in to create a perfect story, and I can say with my full chest, that this is the BEST Nollywood and Netflix collaboration project. Perhaps more projects should explore the possibility of a Limited Series, rather than 1h53 mins movies that leave you feeling unsatisfied.
Rating: 9/10.
Watch or Trash- If you no watch this series, you fit regret am
PS: I would like to thank everyone involved in this production for doing justice to the title 'Blood Sisters', after that classic from Omotola and Genevieve, I would have been so pained if they ruined the title with a mediocre production.
UP NEXT: My list of favorite performances.
Meanwhile, have you seen the Limited Series, and what are your thoughts on it?
You're a big spoiler. You could have done a review without ruining it for those who haven't. Weren't you happy watching it with such suspense? I commend your writing and all, but next time learn to be more of a critic than a spoiler. Peace
Marijuana is illegal but has never caused any deaths from usage, Cigarettes kills millions and they are legal and can be purchased anywhere.
You're right but don't be deceived, it has caused most of its users to harm others in different ways. So yeah, marijuana kills man. It breaks homes and futures. Cigarette does too but on a low scale. So please don't be deceived and don't deceive others
Wizzy13: 7th of this month is her birthday, so we went to a photo studio only for her to tell me that she's not gonna do that with me. I felt bad and i left immediately, guys pls what is the reason for her action
Dailyparrot: I have been driving my car since 2019 but have never changed the tyre myself. Anytime the tyre has problem, there are always owomida people to help change it for a small fee.
It happened that I was driving from oshodi to Lekki and as I was approaching third mainland Bridge, my tyre collapsed.
I parked and started learning left hand at old age. I managed to change it but my palms felt it.
The sad thing is that immediately I was about tightening the nuts firm, two touts rushed to the place and seized the tyre that I brought out, asking that I should find them money.
This touting thing is a menace in Lagos. Less than 100 meters from there, we met a dead body of an NURTW who was wearing their tithe collection uniform and a stick in his hand. If it was a car that knocked him down, I can't tell.
But I commend Lagosians for having A1 in "Minding your business 101". The way people were driving pass the dead body, you would think it's a chicken that's lying fallow there.
This is the second dead body I'm seeing on Lagos road since this year. One was a decapitated body at Carter Bridge. They just used tyre to barricade it if not, cars will mistakenly run over the body because people drive at high speed there.
When I saw what happened to my hand, I just whispered to myself "How many times will they tell you that this country is not for you".
Imagine if I should take cutlass or hoe to farm now ? I guess I will be admitted in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Please, what can I rub on this thing to reduce the pain and relieve it completely.
I changed my first tyre yesterday. Luckily for me I noticed it before I left the house. The sweat that followed, I had to change my shirt to another. I felt like Dwayne Johnson afterwards with my wife hailing me
A 15 year old boy has been accosted trying to lodge in a hotel room with 2 girls and another guy.
The girls run away as the voice behind the camera tries to question them.
OP there's a place in Delta called Agbor, hometown of their Governor Okowa. You go video tire if you visit that town cos you'll see kids younger than 15 lodging in hotels with girls or guys way older than them.
Oghene1st: Ukodo is a yam and unripe plantain dish of the Urhobo people of Nigeria. The Itsekiri people of the Niger Delta also make a similar dish called Epuru. It is essentially a pottage, a stew of meat and vegetable with its base as the Nigerian pepper soup. It is usually used for marriage and burial ceremonies or as breakfast, particularly during the cold season.
It is sometimes cooked with lemon grass and potash. A poem by the Nigerian Chovwe Inisiagho-Ogbe describes both the ingredients and the process of cooking Ukodo in a light-hearted way.
Wadoo!!!! Is it just me or did the weather get chilly all of a sudden. This is the best type of weather for one of my favorite south-south recipes….Ukodo. Usually, this is the type of meal i take and sleep off afterwards under my thick duvet cover while the cold air mixed with the irresistible aroma ukodo leaves the house with brushes through my face and nostrils while i sleep…sweet lazy morning all the way.
Ukodo is typical spicy traditional breakfast native to the Urhobo tribe of delta state in the southern part of Nigeria. It is simply a pepper soup dish which consists of unripe plantain and yam (sometimes cooked with lemon grass and potash), and is believed to be the perfect companion on a wet cold day. The Itsekiris, also of the Niger Delta call their version Epuru while the igbo version is known as Ji mmiri Oku. When preparing ukodo, i usually prefer the use of goat Goat meat or dried fish because it gives it a nice native taste and smell unlike chicken and cow meat. It’s really simple to make as i’m about to show you below. How to make Ukodo (Urhobo yam & plantain pepper soup pottage)
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: About an hour Category: Nigerian soups Region: Niger-Delta, Nigeria
Ingredients:
•3 medium sized plantain “Unripe”
•4 Large Slices yam
•1 kg Goat meat (with intestine & liver) •2 cooking spoons Palm oil •1 small bunch lemon grass/ scent leaves •2 tbsp. crayfish/ dry prawns •1 teaspoon dried pepper •2 seeds “Iwo/Erhe (itshekiri) – Dry roast and set aside •1 seed Gbafilo •2 Uda Uwentia “Negro pepper” (Simply Uda or Enge) – Remove the seeds & discard •1 tsp. Ataiko •1 tbsp Irugege •2 Seasoning cubes •1/2 teaspoon Native salt
Directions:
Step 1: Wash the goat meat thoroughly, place in a pot and sprinkle a tsp. of salt and cook for about 15 minutes on low heat. Set aside to later use.
Step 2: Peel the yam and cut into two halves then immerse in a bowl of water and rinse. Peel and cut the plantain into three pieces then – set aside.
Step 3: Place all the local spices (Iwo/Erhe (itshekiri), Gbafilo, Ataiko, Irugege) in the dry part of the blender and grind for a few minutes.
Step 4: Add some water to the pot containing goat meat. Place on the burner and allow to boil for about 5 minutes. Add 1-2 tbsp. of the ground spices, uda, crayfish, pepper and crushed seasoning. Stir and taste the soup. Leave to cook further till you start to perceive the aroma.
Step 5: Add plantain and yam. Add the lemon grass bunch then reduce the heat and allow the ukodo to cook for about 15 minutes. Discard the lemon grass bunch after this.
Step 6: Transfer the Yam and plantain into a dish, then pour the liquid into another plate. Pour red palm oil into a small clay bowl and serve. The palm oil can also be mixed with the ukodo liquid and used to eat the yam and plantain or the yam/plantain could be dipped in the oil and eaten while the ukodo liquid is sipped like pepper soup.
God I thank you for my wife. There's nothing I want to eat that she can't cook. This Ukodo is damn delicious, especially with a cold Heneiken . Kudos to all the good wives out there.
