TV/Movies / Re: Living In Bondage: Breaking Free Reviews And Ratings? by obiem(m): 9:39pm On May 29, 2020 |
obiem:So, the highly anticipated, multiple award-winning movie, Living In Bondage: Breaking Free, has finally been released on Netflix, for those of us who couldn't see it in the cinemas. The movie flags off the directorial debut of Nollywood's heartthrob, Ramsey Noah, as well as introduces breakout star, Swanky JKA, to most of the cinematic audience. The story basically picks up from where the part 1 left off, only, we are taken a little over twenty years into the future, and introduced to Nnamdi Okeke, who is the estranged son of Andy Okeke. Now, you may want to see the Part 1 of this movie, or read about it, if you haven't, so, you don't end up clueless at certain parts. Nnamdi is a hustling young man in Lagos, who is introduced to the cutthroat business world, in a rather harsh manner that forces him back to the village to regroup. It is at the village, he meets the Omego family matriarch, who invites him to their Lagos home, and basically opens the door through which Nnamdi, slips into the devil's coven. I won't go into the nitty gritty of the entire thing, just so, you guys can watch it, but I would like to highlight certain scenes I particularly enjoyed. Scene 1: Nnamdi goes for an interview with a potential client, while he waits for them, he conspicuously eats the akara he had gotten earlier from a roadside hawker. I liked how realistic this scene was. Scene 2: The scene where the head of the cult group, The Six; Richard Williams (Ramsey Noah), confronts Andy Okeke (Kenneth Okonkwo) in church. The dialogue was interesting, it was basically a battle of wits and biblical knowledge. [img]https://ocdn.eu/images/pulscms/YzM7MDA_/93420c584cc18bcc884c2f2f1228bcee.jpg[/img] Scene 3: The scene where Nnamdi Okeke goes to Richard Williams to take back the wealth, and utters the iconic line "Paul akorokwam ihe a ofuma". It was like coming full circle, the same lines from the father, is repeated by the son. The reference to the first movie in this scene, is a brilliant addition to the script writing. Aside the scenes, the discography was really good. In addition to the OST Album with Larry Gaga, they employed tracks from Styl Plus, Olamide and Phyno majorly. This was a brilliant stroke, it limited the number of artistes royalties would be paid to, while still serving the right tracks to each scene and maintaining the Nigerian flavor. The settings were really cool. From the luxurious houses to the village in Owerri, even Rochas' statues got screentime. Y'all that said those statues were useless, watch the movie and apologise to Owelle If you're a lover of cars, you will certainly enjoy a lot of scenes in this movie, because the car collection was *sigh* Now, to the thing(s) that were a bit below par 1. The scene where Nnamdi drives Richard's Ferrari, with Richard in the passenger's seat...it was a bit too obvious it was a green screen. Aside that, the rest of the cinematography was great. 2. And this is not a sleight to Ramsey, because he did put in a commendable effort, [/b]but his Igbo was almost comical , not bad for a non-native speaker, but Shawn Faqua's was much better[b] That being said, the movie in many ways, justified the rave about it, the cinematography was topnotch, there was a refreshing attention to detail, and there was an unlikely twist at the end. Rating: A solid 7/10 for me. If you've watched it, please drop your review and rating of the movie. PS: The movie was produced by PlayNetwork Studios and Steve Gukas The scriptwriter is Nicole And the cast include: Jidekenne Achufusi Swanky JKA Munachi Abii Shawn Faqua Enyinna Nwigwe Ramsey Nouah Kenneth Okonkwo Kanayo O. Kanayo Bob Manuel Udokwu Nnenna Obi Ebele Okaro David Jone David Zulu Adigwe Nancy Isime Kalu Ikeagwu and Chuks Chyke Lol yea I agree Ramsey's attempt at speaking Igbo was comical but c'mon he's Yoruba na...Meanwhile, the comparison with Shawn is not balanced cos Shawn is Igbo. Don't let the Faqua fool you, it's a stage name. |

Politics / Re: Lockdown: Canadian Government Gave Us N626k Each, I'm Not Coming Home - Nigerian by obiem(m): 12:38am On Apr 24, 2020 |
kikero: No basis of comparison really. Let's even forget the amount (N626K) because Canada and Nigeria don't have identical economies. The main issue is that we do not have any form of structure in Nigeria. There is no social register to track citizens welfare and income status either through taxes or identity management(please don't mention NIMC cos it's not functioning yet). Whatever it is they are using as social register now is flawed and will never work. @OP, Canada has a population of 37million according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada |

abumeinben: @OP, More oil to your head. The impact of the virus in Nigeria is grossly exaggerated! Here in Canada, we don't have cases such as the US but it's rising daily. Lockdown is in effect and compliance level is almost perfect. We couldn't have had the virus if we did what we ought to have done in Nigeria but then like the op mentioned, fear especially has been used in the 'fight' against the virus. God help us all |

Travel / Re: Twelve(12) Pathways To Relocate To Canada This Year by obiem(m): 9:22pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
79733139: Exactly. It depends largely on that because Canadian employers are interested in what you are bringing to the table. A lot of new immigrants don't grasp this early so when they come here, it is extremely difficult to find a job especially in Ontario. I am a good example. And then again, understanding the financial landscape in Canada is essential too. Most immigrants like me who people work 9 to 5, paid decently, but have to grapple with the realities of taxation in Canada which is not funny. Once you know how have the adequate financial education here in Canada to help you make smart investment decisions, and reduce tax you will be happier for it. |

Travel / Re: Nigerian Man In Canada Shows His COVID19 Lockdown Palliative by obiem(m): 7:14pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
It's a Canadian effort by NGO's usually supported by government to provide food support especially for immigrants/and low income earners. I remember when i first arrived Canada in 2018, we did use the food bank sufficiently until we were able to stabilize. I don't blame the man though coming from a dysfuntional country like ours, this is a huge milestone but then it isn't meant to be a constant as one is expected to strive hard to get past this level and in turn become a food donor instead of a recepient at some stage. For me, really it isn't a big deal right now but i can perfectly understand where the man is coming from. |
