May it please the almighty to look upon you and grant you your desire. But more importantly, may the will of God be done rather than your wish.

Amen.

@poster and All

What! You can ask? you can actually ask that is living in Lagos worth it? Gosh, what on earth is wrong with you ppl? where else on the planet is worth living if not Lagos

Where else do you get the rare pleasure of being held in traffic on a normal day fo hrs, giving you the oppurtunity to reflect on life, nature, the beauty of a shared Molue or that even an air-conditioned gave becomes boribg after 4 hrs of stagnation on one spot?

Where else, in what mega city do you find the perfect blend of squalor and wealth? can anybody be exclusively elite in Lagos? for where, na the same go slow dey catch us all!!!!! have you sen the filth in Lekki and Ajah? Can any city compete with lagos on building mega structures and the systematically ruining them with filth generously donated by every passing vehicle, public or private?

Not live in lagos? God forbid!! what would my life be without area boys? Ha, to spend a day without being called chairman? Yeepa, no freaking way! Tuale, o le nu bi kettle!!!

Where else will you run into a policeman wearing bathroom slippers? or have policemen arrest girls for alledged prostitution and then take them to the police station and summarily rape them and have their families pay like 20k to bail them? or have the police arrest people for indecent dressing and the governor and police commissioner know nothing about it

Leave lagos for we o. After all, eko o ni baja!!!!

The fanatical assertion of the existence of God is as inimical to true human interelation and development as the fanatical assertion of the non-existence of God. Whether God exists and is worthy of worship or not is a biased opinion; not that there's anything wrong with biased opi ions. What would the world be without them and as Oscar Wilde as said "All opinions are biased and any unbiased opinion is useless".

It is, in general terms, unimportant to me whether anyone believes in the existence of God or not. I believe in a superior power, I do not believe that God exists; I KNOW that a superior power exists beyond me. Don't ask me to prove it; I can't. There is no empirical evidence that God or such superior power exists. But remember, you cannot also prove, empirically, that God or a suoerior power does not exist.

What's the sense in all this? once again we are seeking that which drives us apart rather than that which draws us together. Please not that I am actually perfectly irreligious; though brought up as a christian I left the \church 14 years ago and my life has been better for it. But that's my story and that of another will naturally be different. That this has worked for me is no guarantee that it will work for someone else. I have found my and not the. There are many paths that lead to God. Claiming God exclusively is a sign of smallness indeed.

Let us remember that all of the pains and destruction that humans have inflicted on other humans largely come from one source: those that, while holding a belief refuse others the right to hold a contrary one.

May it please the cosmic to continue to grant us all wisdom and understanding.

Peace Profound.

@jayon

I dont know exactly what you did to deserve such a list
but add a pack od Condoms (NOT GOLD CIRCLE O!!!) to the list above.Any of the really expensive lubricate and rigged one would be fine.

Who knows, with all your sins, one might have to sleep with some gods on your behalf!

Wish you all the best seun.

I would have been there to contribute, at no cost, but am on location from Sunday 28th for about 3 weeks to shoot a new series.

Hope this works out well and you achieve your aim.

goodluck

Mine is " I surrender All"

I like it 'cos it encapsulates my relationship with the supreme.
But I actually prefer the Yoruba version:

Mo fi gbogbo re fun Jesu
patapata lai ku kan

,

mo fi gbogbo, mo figbogbo re
fun wo olugbala mi ni
mo fi won sile.

Fellow Nigerians, pls sing with me, especially if you can speak yoruba:

Eleyi o lo, lau
eleyi o lo
bo gbe na karri, lau
bo wewu eje lau!
lau lau lau, LAU!!

etteh ke te must stop!

Seun, pls dont give up. I know how it feels; i went down this road before I could make a breakthrough. I applaud your decision to suspend shooting for now.

Pls get all the knowledge you can get before you go back to it. In fact, get on as mant sets as you possibly can. watch others do it.

Dont worry if you think what they are doing is crap; even there there's something to learn.

As i promised earlier I'll furnish you with info the moment the trainings commencenwithy my 'boss'.

Keep hope alive.

@ Seun

I'm just seeing this now. We have talked on another thread before and you know about me and and the little things I have done in this line.

First advice: I hope you started marketing the sitcom from the script. What I mean is that I hope the scripting was done in a way that is will make the sitcom marketable to a Nigerian audience. this is crucial and sadly, it is missed by many who venture intoproduction. If you want, send me an episode of the sitcom and i'll let you know my thoughts.

secondly: Take that director's advice; it is safer and cheaper to shoot 13 eps rather than 3. See, dont trust too much the opinion of ad agencies. sponsorship is not always by quality of the programme. Those guys most times give ads to people who are willing to give them a cut irrespective of the quality of the programme. dont fall into this pit; it is self-distructive on the long run.

@ crazy T: I do not have 20 years experience in the industry but i know for sure that the era of NBL giving a soap 28million is certainly over. spot ads is the in thing now as you can see from the diff ads on soaps today.

Basically seun, nobody is gonna give u 28million!

Take a look at the diff soaps on TV today. we all agree that many are crap but have u noticed that some of the crappiest ones are the ones with the most ads? That should tell you something about how ads are given these days. Its one of two ways: get in bed with the ad guys, give them a large cut and you will get ads for ur sitcome. Or fund your prog for a while without compromising and you will attract the ads when the companies see that you have a large following and they have something to gain.

Let me give you some advice as given to me by my directing teacher, someone you all know very well:

1. never work with stars; work with artistes.
2. pay Attention To Details( ATD)
3. Dont compromise on your vision
4. Know the demography of the nigerian Tv audience: women and children are the ones who really watch soaps and stuff so include them in tour story.
5.entertain, dont preach
6.respect your audience, never take them for granted. its because of them that you are getting sponsorship!
7. a bad script will never make a good film.


I rest for now. Pls mail me shamanmomoh@yahoo.com. if there's anything i can do to help i will be glad to.

By the way, who is this writer-director? Let me know his name privately so I can say what i know about his/her capabilities if I know.

Take care bro.

you guys stop plsssss!!!! do u wanna kill me with lafta

Meanwhile, was anyone at Cele bus-stop thatis morning?  Did you see what ahppened?
how KIA Brigade caught Hillary Clinton crossing the express instead of using the pedestrian bridge?

hmmm, I thought my eyes were decieving me o until I saw anoda KIA officer dragging Bill Clinton and Chelsea thier daughter: the whole clinton family was
crossing sele express hand-in-hand!!!!

Abeg make una stop. my office ppl don dey consioder to go call psychos from yaba left side

Mahatma Ghandi, former strongman of Indian politics and society, was  yesterday spotted at Orile bus-stop with his shawl wrapped around his head Eedris Abdulkareem-style, hawking mp3 players in a wheel-barrow!  

He was chanting a remix of an indian song he just released, featuring Konga:

Ghandi: Sunita sunita mia jamati jamati lekele (2ce)

Konga: E ti won botaaaaa ashanti sholeyyyyyy

Meanwhile Mother Theresa watched them from afar, shaking her head and pitying them while breastfeeding her latest child fathered by 2face!

@ All
I'm Back!!  did u guys miss me? ( as if i ever made any worthy contribution that can be missed!!)

Anyway, a day after my praise-singing my yeye laptop crashed without my permission

I guess the stupid laptop is Nigerian and not used to aprreciating people when they are still alive!!

anyway, I don fix am and am back in class to learn!

Dear teachers, e go on soun!!!

@jerrymania

There was nothing wrong. I just broke away because i lost contact with the Lodge.

It's interesting that you say you just broke away. The misconception amongst many is that such organisations never let you go the moment you join.

@ Temmie10, easimoni, frankiri,shigidi, windywendy,yodiyokun and all the others

You are in trouble o!!! Pls just be avoiding me o in case I run into anyone of you anywhere on this planet!!!

I will give you such a massive hug that your backbones might snap!!!

What!!! I can't believe such sense of responsibility and dedication, for no money!!! I always try to explain to some of my otherwise brilliant friends that Nigerians are not as bad as we are always painted; our govts may mess us up repeatedly but Nigerians are naturally givers!!

This thread will make millionaires out of many people and you do what you do without hangups. Believe me you guys are worthier than most of those brainless people they keep giving national honours

I follow this thread religiously and though I have been doing stocks for 3yrs I have learnt things here that I possibly could not have learnt elsewhere. I'm not writing this because I have made a kill; I'm just totally humbled by your sense of dedication.

You know what you guys are doing? You are showing the world the inherent possibilities in Nigerians if only we would put out acts together!

From the depths of my heart and on behalf of all those who appreciate what you do, here's three gbosa! gbosa!! gbosa!!! (We shall not wait till you guys die before we celebrate you, like we do in this country!!)

Enuff distractions from me. Pls hurry back to your good work but watch out for me and my backbreaking hugs!!!

@jehu
Thanks. are you saying that the admission is still on? i have a friend who is really interested and needs it badly. when will it close?

pls respond asap. thanks.

@vicjustice
what is it they say about lies travelling for 20 years and truth catching up eventually? thank you jare

Oya, Dantecmu abu na dantemumu, ans the questions

@dj4wealth
who says seeing nude pics will make men rape? abeg!
havent you heard of ppl raping women in pudah or nun? dont give a bad thing an excuse.

@others
dont worry about our youths' morals. we dont need BBA to currupt them. a mere touch of a keyboard can do that on the internet. BBA is a child's play compared with the one zillion and one porn sites available online.

besides can we stop all this moralising and pretensions? How many of us can truly say that we are more morally upright? if dem look into our private lives the thing wey eye go see mouth no go fit talk. You no holly pass abeg.

besides the housemates knew what they were getting into when they signed on so what's the hue and cry about?

I no fit shout abeg!

@tammie10

To those who have questions about the loss of loved ones, here's my 2 cents
the rain falls on both the good and the bad
It was and is still probably very painful,
Life is a roller coaster, highs and lows, wins and losses, huge highs and low lows,
However, the make up of human beings allows us to learn from adversity and become stronger,
The sufferings and losses we experience here remind us that the world we live in is not perfect, it is in fact very messed up,

[quote]

Let me take this further Tammie10.

I do not know how it feels to love a mother at 45 or a dear sister or a loved one, so i cannot say i undersatnd how it feels. However, maybe it would help all of us if we understand the what exactly it means to die. Let me say right from the outset that this is my opinion of life and death and I am not trying to impose or even suggest it to anybody.

When we exit the cionfines of the flesh, we do not exactly die. Death is an inappropriate term for what happens when we cease to .breathe. if we understand that our dearly departed ones actually arise to other activities, then may be we would not agonise to deeply when we lose loved ones.

For example, Don Jazzie, if you knew that your mum's soul is living somewhere in another body and that she is as lovely there as she was with you and that she is bringing joy to some ppl as she brought to you and your family, while you may still miss her do you at least smile in the knowledge that she somewhere happy? i don't know if this helps but pls find solace in a truth that when we shed the the garment of the flesh, all is not over.

@poster

I wont ask God anything! I will simply say thank you; for all things, good and bad!

@ Suze

I never said Kaffy cannot do other dances. Don't confuse issues. I simply said that has any of the ppl asking that she should have been one of the judges seen Kaffy do any other dance and on what fact are they basing their call?

To me they should have used a presenter like Kaffy or someone like Isis or even someone like Kenny Ogungbe or someone like Barsorge Tariah.

Ha ha, plz don't make me laff KENNY OGUNGBE!!! he hasn't even successfully presented Primtime. And Kaffy a presenter? Ok o. I no go talk anything. No be my mouth dem go hear say teacher mama die!

In my experience, I have often found out that those who present a 'we-are-so-in-love' face in public are those who have the bigger problems. It seems to me as if the more you are willing to show outside that you are in love the less you guys are truly in love. I may be wrong and if I'm am willing to admit so. But often times I have realised that those who are truly happy have less need to emphasis the fact in public. Happiness just sits on their faces without any effort and they are comfortable in their silences.

When I woman talks endlessly, in public to the earing of all gathered, about how wonderful her spouse is it is often, for me, a sign of something terribly wrong; a sort of longing on her part for acceptance and recognition.

A single or divorced woman, I think, is more productive and beneficial to society than one in a bad marriage or an abused relationship.

Lastly, may we all learn to lower our expectations from ppl a little bit? See, no matter how anointed a person is, he/she is first and foremost a human being and his therefore susceptible to the failings that accompany being human. Whether pastor or not; whether anointing is dripping from the peres on like rain or waterfall; pls know that that person is human and at one point or the other will have failings!

May it please the God of our hearts and understanding to grant that our lives may be happy and fruitful, in spite of the faillings we posses as humans.

@ poster

The sistas in the house have given you sound advice already so, as one said WAKA!

but I seriously doubt that you can do that. See, while i may understand that one cannot reason with emotion, it is also true that you are the master of your fate. And thank God that nowhere in your post did you say he forced you to do anything so in my book the guy has no blame whatsoever.

And to all those who are saying stuff like 'no guy is worth your tears and all, pls realise that this guy has not asked anyone to cry for him! Rather our sista is the one refusing to seee the light.

I cannot for the life of me understand this cry of victimisation from babes when in reality they, like all other species, are the stronger sex!!! besides, hasn't feminism moved beyond this point? aren't more are more women making their own decisions boldly today? ABEG WAKA OR STAY THERE AND CRY HIM A RIVER I NO FI SHOUT

@seun 001, centaur,blacnite1

and all those who have given constructive criticism, big ups for u all. that the way to go, thats the spirit. I cannot for the life of me understand all those who would make blanket statements based on loose facts. this is a show that's going to last another one week, yet ppl are so sure that Nigerian dances wouldn't feature. Haven't you ppl heard of saving the best for last?

And so what if the judges are unknown? who said they have to be known to know their stuff? have you guys bothered to read their profiles on the maltina danceall site? some even said that 2 of them were too young! Abeg, must they be mettuselah to be knowledgeable? if to say na oyinbo now dem no go talk say e too young o!

Who said the presenter was boring? must she be bubbly to be interesting? i admit that she may be a little conservative ( she's from NTA!!) but remember its a family show and the organisers will naturally look for someone who'll be present a slightly more mature persona than a bubbly character jumping up and down.

And did I hear that Kaffy should have been a judge?? Good God! isn't it obvious that Kaffy is branded by Nokia and cannot associate with a different brand? I mean that is not rocket science is it? Besides, apart from Hip hop, what other dances have you seen Kaffy do? so, what qualifies her as a judge?

Obviously, the show has not been perfect, but what show is? there's room for improvement and we should point the organisers towards that.

I will not be one to call for censorship. freedom of speech is a right and must be respected. but let us all remember; you can only have the moral justification to condemn only after you have praised.
