Even single mums don't want their sons to marry single mums.

I understand where you're coming from, there is a lot for Nollywood to learn as regards quality and I have never held back on that.

I think Nollywood is currently suffering from a lack of originality with the storytelling, which is why I personally enjoyed this particular movie. A lot of Nigerian movies these days, have mainly suffered from a need to replicate foreign media, without infusing Nigerian realities into it. There is also the general mediocrity that permeates every facet of the Nigerian lifestyle, that has affected Nollywood. The average Nigerian does not strive for excellence, and Nollywood has basically fallen into the same pot.

Let's not digress from the topic sha. I understand your angle, and I have reduced the rating. I do agree some of the ratings have been too high, and should be reviewed. Even I, couldn't believe some of the ratings I gave productions like Far From Home.

Well said. We hope that someday Nollywood will make Nigeria proud qualitatively like other countries are picking up and encouraging great movies. Thanks for the constructive arguments. Yeah Far From Home was worth the watch from the beginning but I didn't know when I began forwarding through.

Now that's how you colonize your colonialists.
Mass Immigration. Africans dey learn work where arabs dey.

I rate my films according to what I like, not according to what the Koreans are doing.

I don't watch Korean movies. The reality of Korea is that it is a highly misogynistic and racist country, and I cannot suspend belief enough to patronise their movie industry.

I'm a Nollywood buff, and I write for fellow Nollywood buffs, not for people who enjoy Korean drama, since our tastes and likes will differ. But thank you for your feedback.

Most of my ratings are made on first watch, and tend to change after I watch them again, but I don't come back to change it. I do agree that they are unnecessarily high though and have modified this one.

I mentioned Korea because of movie quality, from powerful stories to impactful execution, exactly why some are winning Oscars. Another good industry is Bollywood whose notable movies are of top class. Nollywood is growing and deserves the encouragement, that is why you and I see them. But lets keep their rating not too high so they'll understand that there's room for improvement.
Please don't see my comment the wrong way, I am usually eager to read your reviews here. Cheers.

@Safarigirl, your film ratings are too high. Much of your reviewed films that I eventually saw weren't up to par i.e Kill Boro, Far From Home, Blood Sisters. I think you should see what the Koreans are doing. They are nowhere compared to what Nollywood is showcasing.

Kunle Afolayan must have been high on something potent making such an admission at a press event.

90% of drug addicts start from weed.
Also most weed in Nigeria is laced with other synthetic stuff.
Please Davido should not be listened to. MJ is a drug. I know someone who got into a psychiatric ward from just mere weed.

It is material. Or wait, shey you dey enlightened so? You just dey cap anyhow without facts. Wetin dey sup with you sef.

Na only lecturers dey for Nigeria? Doctors, Engineers, Pilots, etc nko?

Proud of someone using the work of God to show off material possessions? Tobi, you are a conman and that we know.

Well, going by your logic, why should we believe a corrupt judicial system when time and time again they have shown that justice is like any other commodity that can be bought and sold. Why did the parents of the accused boys whisk them abroad immediately after the incident if there wasn't something fishy? Those accused boys should have been cross-examined and the environment where the attack is alleged to have happened should have been declared a potential crime scene and cordoned off for forensic investigation.

Yes, the boy may have had health issues before he was attacked but that does not rule out the possibility that the attack could have worsened the victim's condition and ultimately led to his untimely death.

The way and manner the matter was hurriedly buried speaks volumes of who we are as a people. When we are the victims we can go to the ends of the earth for justice but when we are the perpetrator we do everything to sweep it under the rug and bury it forever. This is why we have bad leaders continuously. GOD has given us up to ourselves. Our leaders are our punishment because as a people, many of us are ridiculously evil.

I would rather homeschool my boy than have him attend school with monsters seeking whom to destroy.

It's obvious all your news and facts are from social media

MadamVanessa:




It's clear that the current state of Nollywood is underwhelming. The storylines have become predictable and lack depth, making it easy to guess the ending before the movie even starts.

I want to emphasize that my criticism is not directed at any particular tribe, but rather at the industry as a whole. However, I do think that the influx of southwest influence in Nollywood lately has contributed to its decline in global reputation. The industry had gained international recognition and respect when it was all Igbos affairs, but it seems to have lost its way in recent years.

Sister you are wrong, when it was an igbo affair it was all about quantity not quality. If you cannot shout, you cannot be a good nollywood actor/actress. The cinematography was totally crap. The Yorubas like Kunle Afolayan who I personally don't like brought a new edge in nollywood. Kunle went to Film school abroad and he and a few others raised the bar and gave nollywood some sweet movies that is at least quality. Though we must say, there is still alot of work to be done in nollywood. Now with the way, nollywood is, it's not about tribe. There are Igbos, Yorubas, Northerners, and even Ibibios like Emem Isong giving the industry its best. Lets not make it a tribal thing please.

From his level of enlightenment and his background, this guy's governorship tenure is going to be filled with lot of drama like we are already seeing.

My wife is an army officer. A lieutenant. But she is very reclusive and always love dodging any misgivings even concerning me



I had issues with someone months ago, i called a friend that was a Sergent in thesame barrack to help me out, my wife heard d issue later and was against it. It was a serious matter later on.

We even had issue with someone from our area , and she told me to call the Police and that it not in her place to interfere.

My boy was attacked by someone, he called her to report and my wife warned him to not try it again.

She wasn't like that until we got married. Somehow this thing is irritating me cos it depressing. I discussed it wit a friend from her rank that told me it was unusual that she was supposed to help me out.

Bros, that woman does not love you. A real wife will be on fire to fight for you. But you are in big wahala, this kind wife you no fit divorce am.

Yes he was released but trust Sahara Reporters with their silly journalism of adding "Powers from Above" freed him.
As for me, many of these fine-boy expensive suit pastors are not to be trusted. Christians be diligent in choosing your spiritual leaders.

Good move in consideration of the current situation.
Next should be rice companies.

Oh you mean the same Nigerian courts where justice goes to the highest bidder? You mean the courts that are the private property of the high and the mighty in this country? It seems you also belong to that club. The club of the high and the mighty. The club of strong people who are above the law because they own the courts. Your royal highness. Ko si asegbe, asekpamo lo wa. Vengeance is the LORD's. HE will repay.

Like I said tell us about the special investigation that made the initial story true. An uncle of the boy made an allegation, so why should we believe him over what the courts had to say after investigations. Seems you were eager to see the lives of those young boys destroyed.

First, I know he will be released within a week. Then he will call it a test and trial of his life.
If he is guilty or not, we may never know.

KiNg0G:
Nigeria for you.
Just imagine how they died the case and even dismissed it in court... while those other elite murderous kids got away with it easily
If this happened in the west it won't have ended this way.. they would have been huge sum of compensation from the school, with it closed down or properly regulated..while those kids involved place in juvenile cell for some years.. then probably tried as an adult again when they mature.

God why did you make be african, especially nigeria.

A place where who loose guard nai lose.

The court found the stories of poisoning untrue. Please tell us about your special investigation where the murderous kids poisoned him.

Who takes this lunatic on this forum seriously?

Babamide:
There should be a laid down procedure one can initiate for his/her sm account in dying. The account may not necessarily be closed but at least archived so people can stop tagging you or posting on them.

There is but Facebook doesn't encourage it. Facebook is a network with very poor support.

While other African countries are running away from France, Tinubu is leading Nigeria to embrace France, the number 1 exploiter of African nations.

Is this a new format to destroy what they couldn't possess?

Knowing the black man, this is not unfeasible.

Obi needs the North. OBi will do.

People from the diaspora should not come back home because the economy is bad. But you are shipping your fancy toys bank home. To do what with in the terrible economy?

Thank you very much for this reasonable comment.
The lunatic is saying the country's economy is in shambles but 90% of his fans are in Nigeria and all his family's family interests are in Nigeria.
But trust some asshead fans who will support him no matter what.

Izuchukwu70:
Nigerians and their biases. Its Davido nobody will talk. Forgetting that Davidos family has been in politics for over 50 years from his grandfather who was a Senator, 2 Uncles are Governors . Whether you like it or not. His family and him have benefitted from government money 💰.

Exactly why he should shut the Bleep up and not denigrate Nigeria that his family has lavished from.

So what is the benefit?

While African leaders are making revolutionary changes to change the destiny of their nations, Nigeria's own is totally different.
Our supposed President Tinubu is changing our national anthem to what was written by a British woman from a more patriotic one we had.
Nigeria is cursed, since we began we have never had an exemplary leader.
RIP Zik and Awo, the presidents we never had.
