Rainy Day In June - Alan Jackson

Actually, You've been a nuisance [ at least, I think so] here, You shoulda been ISP banned.

y me:
all am gonna come with will be my sexy self
well prepared to make you feel alright after the dinner
jealousy dey worry some people oooo
go find Sauron jare cause this one is mine

Jealousy kè? I jes allow you deh flex with the dude for now.
When I ready, I deh collect am kia kia.

All I need do is put suntin-suntin in the coffee and pancake he requested and BOOM!! Na Love-Nwantiti in the air.

Choice!

Cheating, like excessive drunking, lying, ill-manneredness, laziness etcera is a personal flaw. Unless that individual is willing to recognize that, that particular trait is his/her weakness and genuinely work towards being a better person in that aspect, change can never occur.

How does choice come in? Place cheating on an imaginary scale and put his other attractive qualities on another and then, decide - Are the positive qualities strong enough to make up for his cheating nature? Can you live with it and its aftermath [now and/or in the future, favourable or unfavourable]?
If Yes - Stay there and enjoy the loving side of him while it lasts.
If No -  Walk away.

Then  again, what's the guarantee that, the next man You'D meet isn't a cheat  too - Worse still, a cheat and not even half as caring as the present man - ? What's the guarantee that he doesn't have a drinking prob - He probably may not be a cheat but a drunk and an abuser- ? Would you prefer a drunk to a cheat or a liar or an abuser?

My point? They say everyone has (a) flaw(s) [I agree].
I think, all one has to do is settle with the person whose flaw(s) one thinks one can put up with.
Assuming this man's name is 'A' - [one of] A's flaw(s) is cheating.
Can you put up with this flaw - cheating- ? Or you'D rather walk away and find someone with a more acceptable [to you] flaw?
You will not meet a Mr Perfect anywhere, you'll always, like now, have to choose to stay or leave. Choice!
The ball is in your court.

Who's the first dude on the left?

See I-Go-Dye and Maleke1

You're not seriouz. Who'z that man You labelled Missy B? https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/24.gif 

snthesis:
missy B- toast bread, pancakes and coffee plsssssssssssssssssssssss!

You go wait taya. Shebi You prefer Y me's cooking?

nkilirox:
The problem with Nigerians is that any criticism no matter how valid will be immediately cast aside as bad belle.

Personally I see Pete Edochie's point. Nigerians are not the only consumers of Nollywood productions, its important to accurately represent cultures on film. I do not think this means that Olu Jacobs stop being considered for these roles, but rather that he as an actor spend the time to learn about the character he's about to play. Which also include properly pronouncing Igbo words (Van Vicker please take note) and learning the nuances of non-Yoruba culture.

It's not so difficult to discern a bad belle criticism from an objective one.
Miss Nkilirox, as a matter of sincerity, have you, before now, thought it is wrong for Olu to interpret the role of an Igwe?
Have you ever thought he's been doing a poor job?
My point? this is a trivial issue.  . . .  . . .So trivial that it doesn't even come to mind until someone mentions it.  So far, Olu has not be found incapable.
Justuce Esiri has played an Igwe. Is he Igbo? Why didn't Pete use him as an example? There are so many Igbos in the industry - Chinwetalu Agwu and others - Why do these directors not give them the role, instead of Olu?
Pete knows what's bugging him and to be honest, it's evident in his words.

dayokanu:
^^

My bad, I would use kitty or womanliness Is that ok?

Yes!

Dayo,
That's so Ewww!! Never use the T word again, please!

y me:
hey MISSY welcome back,hope you had a wonderful trip?
oya come give me all the goodies wey you bring from your vacation
wonderful is an understatement
i couldn't stop smiling thru the whole of that day to the extent my cheeks began to hurt

Yes, I had fun and I'm glad you did too.
You aiight?

False!

Post a link, if you're so sure.

If you don't stop using that smiley, I won't answer.

Phuleaze, Save me the anger. I'm more angry.

How old are you both?

Nautillus:
IMHO, babies are positive additions to a marriage, one should get married for companionship, "i need you, you need me" topped with love and a good dose of great sex, kids are always welcome BUT its not the reason for the union.

Say it again.

Cool video, I don't like the song. Yes, his[i] Agbero[/i] personality is still evident.
One of the things even a good video cannot hide.

radeniran:
With the submission from Pete Edochie any actor or actress that wants to act a role of a mad person should have gone mad at one time before so that he can he or she will be able to interpret the role well.

Nice One! Good example, inferred from Pete's comment.
If Pete reads this, he will swallow his comment  in a hurry.

Pete's statement

What are the draw backs of the movie industry as it is presently constituted?

The people who are making movies are children and most of them are unintelligent. The person who is playing the Igwe roles in all the movies these days is Olu Jacobs. He is not an Igbo man. Simply do not understand why somebody who does not speak the Igbo language, who does not understand the culture, the mind and the psychology of a people should be the one playing those roles. This is the reason why those roles are not being properly interpreted. Have you ever seen a woman beside a Northern Emir. But I watched a film where people had to help hold Olu Jacobs wife in the movie and he basically despoiled her because she refused to have intimacy with him and he was supposed to be the Igwe in the film. That is an absolute insult to the traditional stools of the Igbo people. If he knew better he would have advised the producers of such a movie or should never have even taken part in it at all.

[b]Haven't you done a movie from another culture that you do not understand fully?[/b]I was part of the movie, Amina, but that was different because I grew up in the North and I understand the culture very well. You have to know a people to understand them. You also have to understand the appurtenances of office they occupy before you can apply them.

MyJoe:
I beg to disagree.

I don't know about motives, but those fine details he is talking about what what make a good movie. They are the sort of thing that makes you want to cry when watching a Nigerian movie. Our movie makers don't do research so you see these horrible incongruities. It is not Olu Jacob's fault. It is the directors'. Hell, Mr Edochie is too charitable. Nollywood directors and producers are worse than kids. They are a mostly bunch of clueless dolts who have no business in the arts.

I think he is actually protesting against the crass nonsense being churned out in the name of making movies.

It's okay to disagree with my opinion.

Like I earlier stated, Pete seems to me, a Tribal chauvinist. Not to mention that his comment suggests, of course to me, that he probably has a personal beef with Olu.
To the best of my knowledge, Olu interprets the Igwe role very well.
Nollywood has so many flaws, and to be forthright, the interpretation of the Igwe role by a non-Igbo, esp. when the individual interprets the role very well, should be the last on the  list. Obviously, Mr- know-it-all doesn't think so.

''What are the draw backs of the movie indiustry'' ? [notice the plural form] and the only thing he could mention is Olu, and how the producers are unintelligent for allowing a non-igbo play the role.
That implies 1 of 2 things or both -
1. That's the only draw back of the movie industry
2. That's the most important draw back.
Whichever the case, we both know it's false.
Again, don't we have Nadia, Van, Majid and others playing Nigerians in a movie? Don't they interpret the role very well? Do we criticize them or the producers for that? No!
I still think he's hurt because Olu gets most of the job.
Olu is as good as [if not better than] Pete in interpreting the role.

seyibrown:
If an Igbo producer/scriptwriter decides that the Igwe's wife should be held down to allow intimacy, where lies the fault of the actor? 

Thank You!!!
It's easy to see that Pete's problem is - Having a non- Igbo [Precisely Olu Jacobs] interpret the role.
Go back to his comment.

The person who is playing the Igwe roles in all the movies these days is Olu Jacobs. He is not an Igbo man. Simply do not understand why somebody who does not speak the Igbo language, who does not understand the culture, the mind and the psychology of a people should be the one playing those roles. This is the reason why those roles are not being properly interpreted.

I can imagine myself asking him - Sir, where lies the flaw(s) in the interpretation of those roles? How has Olu failed? and have Pete reply . . .

I watched a film where people had to help hold Olu Jacobs wife in the movie and he basically despoiled her because she refused to have intimacy with him and he was supposed to be the Igwe in the film

Geez!!! Like I ealier said, Pete should be quiet if he has nuffin better to say.
If Olu was supposed to play the role of a sexually undisciplined Igwe, where lies the problem? Pete just has nothing to say, abeg.

Aww!!!
Thanks for the pic. . . . .I Love it. How Lovely!!!

Not just as a black Lady, a Nigerian, too.

@All:

If you listed any of the Nigerian artistes as annoying, you must be a freaking and lousy, unproductive watcher wasting away watching the same people you 'despise'. Why can't you get your accent faked, why can't you do your own thing and make a living off of it? Damn! I hate it when people deride and talk shi:t about others. Those guys are in the MAKE-BELIEVE industry, that is what the movie industry is all about. They make things to satisfy the viewing public and as well make their own living. Do you expect them to use their own natural style when their script says they should act in a certain way? You guys should stop hurling the nonsense bricks. Stop the hating! Try to be the best in whatever trade you find yourself. Leave 'em alone?

Dig dat?!

Na Your mauth [abi na hand], You fit take am chop poo. Who cares?
Answer Kwesion or decamp.

Ayowumie:
OMG!!!!!

Jim Iyke-fake wannabe
[b]Nkiru Sylvanus-which kain local name be dat?Mgbeke feeling funky[/b]Timaya-ugly as h.ell-.That in itself is annoying
Ramsey Nouah-no talent,plain and simple
Abeg increase the list to 20.These are the only ones to make the list.For now,I don't think anybody can be any more annoying than these,though special mention must go to Alariwo,Mercy Johnson,Emeka Ike,Chidi Mokeme,Kanayo O. Kanayo,Clems Ohameze

I sure hate to join the majority but, right now,  I can't help it.
I'D Love to ditto what some people have already said  - Mutter, Shut up. Thanks!!

Yea, I'm Loving Goddess.

MyJoe seems to know a lot about Food.

Topic -
Egusi, for me. One day with Eba, another day with rice.

Pete should be quiet Jare.
Is he bitter because Olu has been getting more roles?
Is Van Vicker Nigerian? No, but he features in Nigerian movies and plays a Nigerian.
Tribalism deh worry Pete.

Nija4Life:
Marriage is not a lifestyle choice (at least in African tradition) as some may think

I'll pretend I understand what You actually mean.

Nija4Life:
but an institution which requires traditional and spiritual commitments to flourish.

Can You explain what ''traditional and spiritual commitments'' means, please?

Can you kindly give a reason why you feel Lionel is better? Thank you.

I think he's a better Vocalist because he actually is.
Whatever the yardstick is, Lionel gets a pass mark. He does it, for me . . .Luther doesn't.
