The emotional display of Odunlade and the white couple in the last scenes where the Elesin Oba's foreign trained son died were too fakery, not convincing enough.

Moreover, the characters in the book itself and its emotional contents by Wole Soyinka are much more realistic than those displayed in the film.

So, I will give the film 6/10.

Also I noticed that sexual activities are now blatantly displayed in Yoruba films, like Anikulapo and this, and this is highly uncultural and disturbing.

Pwettylinda:
Thiefnubuu should be taken to the high sea and thrown in for sharks to feed on.

No pitty for looter

While Obi, another rogue, should be fed to piranhas to devour, and Atiku sacrificed to python.

Then there will be peace in the country.

Elsueno:


IT WOULD BE really hilarious if the FG govt refused to pay who stayed back home NOVEMBER SALARY.


Not a FAN OF BUHARI, but on dis ASUU issue & thier insistent sabotage in d form of 'paid vacation aka strikes' I FULLY SUPPORT DIS ADMINISTRATION... DEAL with these folks, since they ain't have no idea how to fight 4 thier rights without destroying our students

So says someone who has never seen the four walls of a university before, and therefore does not know the value of a quality university education.

That's why Wike is employing 200,000 political aides, he is going to use his stash of loots to pay them under the table.

wonder233:
American companies are like that. They fire without notice and lock you out. Whether you're a full time staff or contract staff, your job is not secure, it doesn't matter whether you did something wrong or not, you can just come one day and the security man won't let you in.
For all the b.s they promote about humanity and political correctness, they are the coldest people to work for.
When I was in ExxonMobil back then, you could see people moving about the workplace without self confidence, because any minute you could be let go.
There is something highly toxic about American workplaces

That's capitalism for you. Capitalism has no compassion, nor pity, nor love for its employees. Its real god is Profitability and More Money. Anything outside that is a taboo.

And, unfortunately, Nigerian business managers, especially those in banks, have copied that too. Their employees are considered just some mere lifeless tools in their money harvesting entities. Use them and dump them at intervals is their new mantra.

Ebubu:
did they work for one full month? why the fuss?
if they had called off the strike since April FG was begging them, they would have received full complete 6months salary by now

retards

na them do themselves

if they like make them go another strike, na 1 year salary they go lose and court will validate it.

So says a Carton boy at Alaba Rago, that has never seen the four walls of a university classroom, and therefore does not know the value of a standard education.

It is therefore useless arguing with an illiterate like you.

Another ASUU strike looming.

Supported, until this foolish government brought to its knees by loosing the next election.

flexyrule:
Nairaland, The hate you spread will consume us all one day.

Rwanda genocide started on radio.

Nairaland should be proscribed by the Nigerian Govt.

It has become a platform for the spread of tribal hatred.

The tribal animosity being expressed on the NL site is terrifying and disgusting.

Nwaotu10:
Nwanne, maka why?

Nwa ka Ego (Looking for Ego all around the globe)

That's the reason why.

Thank God. Finally Onyeama name is cleared.

Nigerian press and bloggers should be severely reprimanded for always posting incredulous and character assasinating news.

omonnakoda:
Has the FG been able to settle ASUU you make it sound as if building a port is the only thing the government has to do
What do you mean by a whole FG
A whole FG that cannot fund universities or arm soldiers.

Has that FG even maintained the existing port in Lagos before talking of building another one
Where did Tolaram get money? I think it was from TB Joshua. He prayed for them

Then let them go to the same TB Joshua's Church (it is still standing and active), and pray the same prayer, and get the funds, and do the needful.

omonnakoda:
You keep parroting congestion in Lagos without logic
Congestion if it exists is about inefficiency
There are countries with ports 10 X busier than Lagos and the Port cities have less than 100000 people. There are landlocked countries with more efficient importation infrastructure
So it is not about having ports everywhere

The reality is which FG should have built port in other regions
Buhari
Jonathan
Obasanjo
or Abacha

and with which money?

Tell us which FG project should have been scrapped instead just one please?

Maybe if you say they should not have built Abuja I might agree

The reality is the FG has not had that kind of money for a long time

Even the Lagos Port they just milk without putting anything into Lagos since 1991 allowing the infrastructure to decay

You are saying a whole FG cannot source for fund to build a standard port, in a country where a single man, the former Accountant General of the nation looted about N170bn alone.

Also where did Tolaram or Aswani/Lagos State Govt got the billion dollars to fund the building of the new modern Lekki Seaport, or where did Dangote got the fund to single handedly build the largest refinery in Africa?

Let them try the same sources of funding and build two in SS and SE.

KingOfTheDamned:
May thunder fire your generation. We are not your brothers or sisters stay on your own.

Useless people

Back to sender in Jesus Name, Amen.

MrPRevailer:
Look even if only Tinubu family vote for him, he will still election because he is the WEF's choice. The WEF is a very powerful force and steal elections globally without violence.
Their goal is a One World Government by 2030. To control resources, speech, human on Earth


Just to mention a few.
Brazil: Lola a known Socialist wins against popularly favoured Bolsonaro.

USA: Biden with the poorest rally won Trump, who was popularly favoured.

France: Emmanuel Macron whom all the people wanted out because if mandatory lockdowns, vaccinations etc won another term.

Britain: Rishi Sunak, a member of the WEF wins position of P.M

Canada: WEF puppet and tyrant, Justin Tradeau won 2021 election making it 9 years in power etc.

etc.

How you people come up with this Conspiracy Theory baffles me all the time. And to what purpose, I don't know, but only just to create a political divide of left and right, Democrats and Conservatives and Liberals' domination strategy, which does not exist.

KingOfTheDamned:
Like how the Yorubas try to portray YouTube language and culture as our national language and culture?

Does anyone ever portray Bini language anywhere ? Do you ever see my people complain?


You Yorubas need to become more civilized and less hateful and tribalsitic

Your people complain everywhere and everyday, on Twitter, Instagram, on YouTube and on Facebook, declaiming their Yoruba heritage through Oranmiyan.

Even your historians have written tomes of book, turning history upside down, saying the Yoruba nation originated from Bini instead of from the Arabia.

So stop hating on the Yorubas, we count you as our brothers. Don't join the enemies, when the WAR comes, they will not count you as their friends. Remember the civil war, how they try to overran your region, until the army led by a Yoruba man came to liberate you.

POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND.

The Police Is Your Friend  (PISYF!!!)
“The police is your friend.”
This has been the motto of the Nigeria police since the inception of the NPF (Nigeria Police Force). 


"The Police is your friend."
That's the motto,
That's what they say...
"They call him my friend."

Motto, dead as scrap,
Rot as egg, stink as corpse.
Words Impotent as prick,
Lame as sagging breasts,
Breasts sagging-
Like bag of salt!
"Such eye saw."
See lie, as black-burnt-
As coal.
Coal as black-burnt
As lie...
My lamentations...

"The Police is your friend."
Whoever said it,
Was either ignorant,
Or part of 'em-
Black-blue uniform grieve-
Inflicting circus...

Returning from-
His factory work 9:00 pm
That too mean angry-
Monday night...
Never knew the devil,
Had set him up with his son (the police).
First, He held him up,
Second, he took all his money,
Third, he took his fake Gucci watch too.
Punched him in the ribs.
And young man couldn't eat-
Nor breathe for days thereafter.
X-ray says fractured ribs.

He killed Mutiu
The bus conductor, 
All for shandy,
Under the bridge at Oshodí,
See this son of satan.

Caroline's pregnant belly,
He ripped opened with stray bullet... 
Christ!

Kola, O.A.U finalist,
He killed along sàgàmu road,
To dispossess boy of fees-
And shoes.
This son of Lucifer, tagged him: "ROBBER KILLED IN ACTION."
"ROADKILL", made a roadkill.
Still, "The Police is your friend."
Ótàfà sóké tó yídó bòrì
Èsu lààlu òbayè jè là n royé.

I reported an abuse of me
To him,
Said, 'cept I grease his palms
He wouldn't do the needful, 
Three hours after I helped myself 
He came,
Picked me up,
Beat me up,
And locked me up.
Damn! How he fxcked me up.
Still, tied me up,
As my assailant 
Now complainant did greased his-
Devil's palms.
Officer!
Please, let me out,
Said till I pay the bail.
After all, they say: "bail is free..."
Yet, "The Police is your friend."
Mtchweee...

He terrorizes all,
As the prince of hell... 
Dead drunk with all-
Taped AK47 in hand,
Ancient rusted cuffs,
And empty tear gas canister-
Dances on his waist
His uniforms,
All thread bare-
With patches in the bottom...
His toes peeping out of his fake shoes,
Terrorizing the civics
For no just course 
But for drunk course.
Somebody help, help, heelp!
Before this terror-
In black-blue-black uniforms,
Unjustly twist the future to rest.

“The police is your friend."
These bad eggs, In The Nigeria Police Force, 
Are no friends of mine!

all they know is loot upon loot.
if this country miss the opportunity to elect a good leader then trust me nothing will salvage it again.

And who is the "good leader" among the 3 leading contenders? They are all bunch of crooks!

afadi2410:
Leave Proff X out of your shenanigans

Why should we leave Proff Ex out of the " shenanigan" when he is the originator, the root and instigator of the current shenanigans, the infighting, the roforofo among we gentle folks on Nairaland?

No, he must be invited to answer for his crime.

Arsenal don go haywire, who go chain dem now.

Stanislause94:
Where all those pained man utd and Chelsea fans?

Arsenal has shut up our mouths.

We no fit talk again.

But with no doubt, Arsenal will get walloped by Chelsea next week.

Nigeria finally won it by PK.

Kudos to the Nigeria girls.

The German girls are fighting back hard, scores now 3:2.

God help us.

yinkeys:

Losers pool and chels shit don full this place

To watch Arsenal being served their own breakfast.

It will surely go round.

More goal. Nigeria leading 3 goals to nothing.

The bronze now secured for us.

Thanks be to God.

1billionman:
capua shall we begin vawulence

No sir. Too early for that.

Game is still on.

benqo01:
I just weak generalization is bad

Just continue to support evil, your karma is on its way to you.

Everybody knows that deliberate killing of innocent people with their vehicles is the present mode of money ritual used by YAHOO BOYS.

What's so shameful in this, is that all these evils and the eternal loss of their souls are done only just to ride tokunbo cars and enjoy a reckless life.

What a loss just for a pittance.

emerged01:
Every yahoo is a wicked soul. You cant be a yahoo not wicked.
I remembered a guy who I was closed to,a yahoo guy. It took me a while before I knew he was into Yahoo. At first he didnt want me because he knows I'm that type. He later found that I know and I didnt condemn him. He started revealing things to me. In my quest to know more,I saw a lot of white pictures on his phone. I mean alot. He tried talking me into it but when he sent some pictures to me,instantly sweat covered. I was shaking,the thought of hurting of people,guilt and the consequences flooded my heart. I deleted those pictures.
To cut the long story short,we are on good terms again.
You have to be a wicked soul become a yahoo.

Thanks for running from this yahoo evil engulfing the youths of this nation, driving them to early death and hell.
