I found my everything in bed last night

Didn't you ask me a question?

When Amercan slang is used; it's always old. e.g. Beautiful faces, one dollar

Only 1% of raped women go to the police e.g. Stephanie Okereke in Last Girl Standing

If there are lesbians; someone must die or be ostracised. e.g The Comforter, women affair

Something bad always happens to the virgin. e.g. Promise me forever, critical decision

Mothers tell their twentysomething daughters to marry a man, any man, no matter how much of a b*astard he is. e.g. Romantic attraction

PROMISE ME FOREVER 1&2
Starring: Genevieve Nnaji, Chidi Mokeme, Jim Iyke, Stephanie Okereke & Ngozi Ezeuno

Written By: Emem Isong

Produced by: Emem Isong and Rob Emeka Eze for RJP

Directed by: Lancelot Odua Imasuen (The Governor)

Synopsis: 19-year-old Sylvia (Nnaji) absconds from the village to avoid marrying a rotund chief to cover her “father’s” debts. Informed by her wise, feminist aunt, she finds out that her real father is alive and she decides to head for the city to find him. She finds an ill but loving man who welcomes her much to the chagrin of his wife and her virile son, Obinna (Iyke.) After enduring abuse and being evicted from her father’s house, a beautiful stranger (Mokeme) offers to help her out and becomes her benefactor and the love of her life. However, love comes not without struggle; in the form of his bitchy fiancée Ann and his formidable mother Tiffany (Ezeonu.) Sylvia’s life collides with her past and she only finds comfort in her best friend Bukky (Okereke.) Surviving in the city proves to be difficult, but she has to, by all means necessary…

Review: Nnaji gives a powerhouse and versatile performance showing the many layers of her character. Mokeme and Nnaji have an undeniable chemistry and create both hostile and sexual tension very well. Ezeono and Iyke give classic “love to hate” performances and Okereke adds much flavour and range to the film with her sass and compassion. The script is fantastic but the editing could be improving such as cutting down the lengthened intermittent scenes. The direction was of a high standard but production quality i.e. sound could be better in parts. The film has emotional depth without wallowing in sentimentality and gives many different perspectives through all characters.

A testament to the labour of love and its defiance to succumb to external pressures(4/5)

GAMES WOMEN PLAY 1 &2
Starring:

Genevieve Nnaji, Stella Damasus-Aboderin, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Zack Orji, Bob Manuel Odokwu & Desmond Elliot.

Written By: Emem Isong

Directed by: Lancelot Odua Imasuen (The Governor)

Produced by: Emem Isong & Rob Emeka Eze for Reemmy Jes Productions (RJP)

Synopsis: Emma (Damasus-Aboderin), Candace (Nnaji) and Yvonne (Jalade-Ekeinde) have been friends since High School and have since settled into their respective lifestyles. Emma lives with her Business Executive husband and kids (Orji) in marital, surburban bliss until a face from the past (Odokwu) stirs up dysfunction in their happy home. Candace is an egotistical, A list-movie star who tests the fidelity of her fiance (Elliott) by thrusting him into the arms of the career-driven stockbroker, Yvonne. Her humdrum life is forever changed by Candace's obscene 100000 Naira bet- "Can you seduce my man?" Can she? Can Emma put out the fire under her roof and if so- at whose expense?

Review: "Why do we play games with people's hearts?" is one of the many questions that Games Women Play poses. The All-Star cast worked overtime on creating a suspenseful and enthralling movie with a fantastic script and powerful yet varied performances. The plot is unpredictable and combines humour, tension and dramatic irony in the most effective way. The performances of actors compliment each other so well that the audience is torn between love, hate, justification and condemnation for the main characters. It explores the dynamics of familial and platonic relationships with a palatable quality. The script is unique and strays far away from the clichés and generic colloquialisms with classic one-liners such as;

"How such beautiful and intelligent ladies could become irritating and indulge in such frivolities!"-Elliot

"What was I supposed to do? , Mourn you forever?" Damasus-Aboderin

"A man may love you and still cheat on you. It is in their nature to cheat. Men cheat all the time."-Jalade-Ekeinde

An interesting and refreshing film with many twists and turns. (4/5)

Genny is a national and continental Treasure.

And that is the African Beauty,

Genevieve Nnaji- Blood sisters

You can't tell me she wasn't a villain.

@ Hotangel

Left Eye would be the Thug's angel because she has strong afiliations with Death Row records (she was signed to them under the pseudonyme of N.I.N.A before she died.)

T-Boz and Chilli created a reality TV show called "R U the girl" where they attempted to replace Left Eye with "new blood" by having a talent search. They attempted to slot in a new member for their financial gain (no less that 2 years after her death). In addition, VH1 did a documentary called "TLC: the final chapter" following thier Behing the Music documentary. T-Boz and Chilli proceeded to talk ill of Left Eye and how they were always at her mercy blah blah blah.

However; they do not mention how Left Eye; created a production company before the Crazysexycool album to ensure that they would have more creative input OR show she warned T-Boz not to marry Mack 10 (another Death Row artist who she knew) because she was an abusive brute (they subsequently divorced in 2004 due to domestic violence and battery.)

Would you dance on your so-called sister's grave?

Aaliyah would be that girl who everyone looked out for.

R.Kelly would be the senior who seeked all the Freshmen.

@ Afeni- Why do you say early 30's?

Is 25 an OK age for marriage?

A helluva lot.

I believe in true love; it just gets harder to find every day.

Most likely to not graduate: Snoop Dogg
Most likely to be sliding down the pole: Lil Kim
Most likely to need bail: Everyone artist on Death Row
Most likely to need a ghetto pass: P. Diddy
Most likely to have a heart attack: Biggie/ Big Pun

Left Eye would be the "Thug's angel" She would be in detention for arson, be followed by her traitor friends T-Boz and Chilli and be protected by Tupac and the hustler who employs him: Suge Knight.

Mariah would be the pure girl who occasionally got a black boyfriend. She would always bring up her Mixed heritage when it was the Slavery module in History class.

Speaking of History class, Dead Prez would be at the back calling the teacher racist and quoting Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X "By any means necessary, mother fu*cker!!!"

Chingy would be the freshman who wore mirrors on his shoes.

Nelly would be the guy who got friends because of his accent.

Mary J Blige would be the girl with a permanent screwface.

I believe in God

I'm not fearing any day that he hasn't told me to fear.

All these numbers are man made anyway.

Happy June 6th and a happier June 7th

Stella has a beautiful voice.
Watch Behind Closed Doors and you won't be disappointed.

Genevieve has an average voice but she doesn't know what to do with it.

Omotol (less her heart) has a FLAT voice and needs some serious help and prayer.

The age of consent for sex in the UK is 16.

I ask you: what is the age of consent for sex in the country you live/have lived in?

Do you feel that the age is too young/old?
Do you feel that the government has the place to tell you what the age of consent is/ should be?

He does it because it always get attention and a big reaction from the adult in question. It's called attention seeking.

Tell him that that is wrong- insulting people is not an acceptable form of behaviour.
Explain the meanings of the words "Stupid" and "insane" and make him learn their meaning and how to spell them.
Make him apoplogise to the adults in question.
You could also make him write a report of why insulting people is wrong.

The worst thing you can do in this circumstance is hit him because that would be asinine.

If I don't want the man; I won't ever take the gift. I don't entertain the idea of letting someone think that I'm interested when I'm not.

If I don't want the gift; I'll politely decline.

The Person You Love Goes For Your Best Friend,

Drop him like it's hot.
