Yes o. I slept well. I thank God. U fa?

Good evening. Happy Sunday.
Did you get it?

mylove4God:
I did watch it but thought the lead actors were Norbert Young and Caroline King

Maybe I'm muddling things all up. Anyway, Frank was the eldest child in the series.

I really battked with Eucharia on the list....wanted to include her, even if it was in worthy mentions, but never got around to doing it.


There are so many of them, not just her. Uche Osotule, Ayo Adesanya, Rita Nzelu, Victoria Inyama, even the lead actress from Nneka the Pretty Serpent, I thought of her as well, but I had to choose a few.

Can't modify the post at this point

How you also omitted Hilda Dokubo, Eucharia Anunobi, Steph-Nora Okere, Lilian Bach, Chiege Alisigwe, Maureen Solomon beats me.

Rosarie:
You did not place them well.
Ini does not belong in this group
Even Rita and uche.
Due honours to the oldies pls

Rita does but Ini and even Kate do not.

mylove4God:
Ernest Asuzu that I know.

Did you watch "Everyday People", that series then? Frank Eche Ben was the lead actor.

mylove4God:
Awww. I so much liked Yomi Blaq then, most especially his baritone voice. Just remembered this movie 'Buried Emotion' he acted with Nkiru Sylvanus and Benita Nzeribe

Exactly! His deep voice and potruded yet sexy eyeballs. Lol. I'm trying to remember Buried Emotion.

I just remembered Ernest Asuzu and Frank Eche-ben. Know them?

uncjay:
Then quality is completely ruled out... No emotions, no sense of belonging sef... mostly flawed narrative, modified British or American accent etc.... mehn I taya for Nollywood

Me too. Only few get my pass mark. I sigh almost throughout when watching one now.

Ah! When Nollywood was worth it!
But OP, Jim Iyke, Nonso & Ezuruonye aren't in the same category o.

You didn't mention Bob Manuel, Francis Duru, Chigozie Atuanya, Yomi Blaq.

safarigirl:
Thanks for this.

The last few weeks, I've been watching so many Nollywood classics and what we have today, simpky doesn't compare

The camera quality might be better and the settings more luxurious, but there is a certain rawness they lack. The actors are too robotic, almost emotionless. They are more concerned with speaking beautiful English than executing their roles.

I can't even recall any of them being able to wail like Chinwe Owoh and Rita Edochie, or sob and cry like Nkiru, no raw emotions. Everything is stuffy and bougie

Gbam! I ji ya! All of them are perhaps concerned about how they look on camera: fashion, make up, hair. They are good o but not like the pioneers.

What about props? The blunders they commit plenty. They use hotel rooms a lot & while that is not bad, its not good because they make it look so obvious that that isn't a home. The wardrobe, the one hanger in it, the lack of clothes in it, even the safe in it, the size of the fridge, the general this-is-not-my-room look. You can't possibly own a big house (as they lead us to believe when they show the exterior of a hotel) & then you put a tiny wardrobe and a hanger in one of the rooms.

These are little little details. They will show someone cutting tomatoes in the kitchen for cooking and when it's time to eat, you will see something that doesn't have tomatoes in it. Maybe eba and ogbono soup. Other times when they want to eat, it's USUALLY jollof/fried rice and chicken (fastfood).

And then this habit of wearing makeup in ALL the scenes. Early in the morning, late at night. I guess this is as a result of trying to act as many scenes as possible in one day.

Our movies lack depth and flavour. Too shallow.

lenghtinny:
There's this dude that's always playing Ini Ed's love interest in movies back then.... The guy is like Nonso'brother because he usually suffers and he can cry like tomorrow no dey.... Mere looking at him will make you feel pity for him because his face is always like that of a child that lost his favorite cookie....

Frank something or so, I can't remember....

Francis Duru?

uncjay:
That nostalgic feeling when Nollywood was worth it...


I mean I keep hearing these new generation producers and marketers saying Nollywood is getting better by the day yet anytime I decide to watch just one I get disappointed.

Nope. The movies and actors/actresses didn't get better. Just the camera and environment that got better.

Maduawuchukwu:
Yes o. Pls pm me ur number. Happy Sunday dear.

I will just holla you since you still use your old line.
Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Maduawuchukwu:
I lost my phone and my contacts. I am being honest. I didn't even see any texts to be honest dear. It is a very long story last last. I just thank God say him shame devil.
I am very fine o. Life is beginning to take shape

I believe you. I hope you are fine sha.
I was calling & sending text during that ceremony last year to congratulate you.


Still maintain your old line?

fkj950ax:
I give up. You are right.

Why don't I believe you?

fkj950ax:
Calculate time to cover 8,400km if you are traveling at 800km/hr.

It's already scientifically and naturally impossible to have bad weather covering 8,000km

Wow! 700 miles & above is frigging fast!


But you know I can't accept this calculation because you & I know they don't go 800km/hr.

Naturally proven? I highly doubt that. Who can predict the weather & what it's capable of doing?
Scientifically proven? Where & when?

fkj950ax:
No it is not possible.

Do you know the speed a plane travels?
Multiply that by 14hours, and you'd know the distance.
How long is a Lagos to USA flight? Did they experience turbulence 60-70% of the flight.

Sir, it's possible. A flight of more than 14 hours(say 16-18 hours) can experience turbulence for 14 hours or even more.

Heck I have travelled(although it was a short distance) & we had turbulence all through. The "fasten your seat belt" sign never went off, no one used the conveniences & no refreshments were shared till we touched down. That's how bad it was.

A friend was travelling during winter some years back and she said out of the twelve hours flight, they experienced turbulence for like more than 10 hours.

cassyrooy:
For me, I want to leave immediately after NYSC but, I feel like I've left already because while in school I don't crave home and when I do go home, I easily crave to get out of there.

Having no parents anymore, I intend to marry within the shortest time of moving out.

But, moving out should be a thing to be desired. Those who continue to shout move out early, Nigerian factor still count o, my brother moved out in 2006, he returned in 2011 because things just couldn't be held together for him (despite the supports from mom then). But things are different for him now.

MissJoy29 come and talk o!

Lol...


I have always had this air of independence around me. I started working while in secondary school even when popsi had money. Bought my first phone myself back in 2006 & even the subsequent ones. So it wasn't difficult for me to start itching to leave my parents house. Fews days after service in the month of October, I left my parents house and moved to my uncle's place. A year & a month later, I started living on my own.

So, there's no hard & fast rule about this. Leave when you feel the time is right.

johnmattew:
u are the ignorance here..the dude is quite correct

No he is not.

bettercreature:
It's not possible he is lying

Why is it not possible? Talk so I can give you small assignment.

helinues:
Turbulence for 14 hours, are they on rocket capsule?

Lol...

What exactly are you saying? Come out in plain terms because I want to give you a little assignment.

Maduawuchukwu:
Joy me kwa?!!!! Longestttttt time? Hw u dey?

You?? I called you several times. Sent texts. Nothing! And to think I just mistakenly clicked on "my profile" & saw that you posted something on this thread. I wouldn't have seen it. You could have just easily sent a pm.


I'm fine and you?

fkj950ax:
Dear Davido
Pilots don't cause turbulence. It's caused by the weather. Saying he didn't try is not exactly a nice one.
He touched down at JFK. If the plane ran into thunderstorm that's covering a large area, it will last long.
This calls into question your 14 Hours. It is NOT POSSIBLE to experience turbulence for 14Hours. Was the pilot circling inside the thunderstorm without trying to exit it?
Softly garnish the truth with innuendos.

Sir, it's possible to experience turbulence for as long as that. ANYTHING is possible!

@bolded, is it only thunderstorms that cause turbulence?

femi4:
That's a Tekkle not Kettle ...It has seen better days

This made my night. Lol

namiji2598:
is their no sch on that day
if yes then 20 is nt a figure

I heard a lot of them went for excursion that day. I don't know how true that is.

Cassyrooy, your advice is needed.

Interesting lies...

sirBLUNT, abeg come and whisper to me the lies you have heard from our kind.

prince3009:
I know...it was a typo. Have corrected it

Ok sir.

prince3009:
I thought some Nairaland feminists were arguing that it was only white women who engage in this act.

And please for the umpteenth time, it's Cropophila and NOT Crocophilia! Anyone who calls it crocophilia again will be eaten by a crocodile!

Actually sir, it's COPROPHILIA & not Crocophilia or Cropophilia.

It's COPROPHILIA for the act of giving/doing which in this case,the Arabians do but COPROPHAGY for the act of eating/receiving it. So the Arabians in this case & all those who engage in the act are coprophiliacs while the eaters are said to be coprophagous

GlorifiedTunde:
Thanks for adding that...

You're welcome.

Her action is the quickest way to make a guy lose interest in a woman. Men love THEIR SPACE too much to be comfortable with this level of obsession!

Both those that cheat & those that don't cheat love their space. Come into a man's face too much & watch him take you for granted and/or treat you like trash.

GlorifiedTunde:
Omo, this one na next level monitoring ooo.



You know nothing bro, I pity you.

This woman will suffocate you!

You'll lose friends, business deals and relationships.

You forgot to mention your sanity!
