I get close to 900KB/s from SWIFT HOTSPOT (a wireless browsing center) located at various areas in Lagos and not from their broadband. Swift Hotspot is like a wireless cafe, you need to login to use it.
The maximum one can get with their broadband is between 70 - 100 KB/s.

Chei! Boys are not smiling at all. "2012" had a good trailer but the movie sucked at the end of the day.

MRbrownJAY:
the funny part was that on our way out of the theater, most people were like:"oh what a great movie bla bla bla" and i was like:"did we all just watch the same flick!?"

I felt the same way as well.

Can u imagine? Roland Emmerich even has plans to do a Television series called "2013" which will serve as a sequel to "2012".

"2012" storyline was weak alright but I won't say its a completely bad movie. If u want to see a bad movie, go and watch "Halloween II (2009)". I slept while watchng it.
Strong performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor (who played Adrian Helmsley), Thandie Newton (who played Laura Wilson) and Oliver Platt (who played Carl Anheuser). Other characters were weak and stereotypical.

Halloween II (2009) It was boring and plain stupid.

I was disappointed after watching "2012". It wasn't what I expected it to be. The movie's sense of humor was a bit annoying as well. I have seen this movie twice and I still don't like it that much. But, the special effects were completely awesome.

I'll give "2012" a 73% rating.

There was a part in dis review of "Avatar" where a guy said "I was just waiting for her (Neytiri) to sing 'Colours of the Wind'". 

selencious:
AVATAR is da bomb, If you wanna watch it, make sure you watch it in HD, I mean, it would look like you in the movie itself, Its da best ever, Its made over 400 bln so far

"Avatar" has made more than $446 million dollars in the U.S. and $1.42 billion worldwide in recent statistics.

@vescucci
She's been watching too much "Avatar". Don't be surprised if she changes her complexion to blue. 

@topic
I'll go for Steven Spielberg. But I still like Martin Scorese very much.

I still like "Avatar" sha.
What if Nigeria becomes "HOSTILE" in the near future?? (Nahh!! I don't think so)

oaroloye:
I say that any Nigerian praising AVATAR, NOW, after Nigeria has been shortlisted as one of 14 Countries-That-Support-Terrorism, IS A FOOL.

I have seen 18mins of AVATAR.
I wanted to be sure I heard right, so I rewound, three times.
Then Please Hold Candle Nigeria a.k.a. Power Fumbling Company of Nigeria took away electricity.
(The second shot I'd had in a week.)

To the point: The Colonel, describing his experience to the Corporal who is obviously the star, said:

This statement implies LONG FOREKNOWLEDGE that America WILL go to war against Nigeria!
The writer (James Cameron- one of the highest profiles available. He did TERMINATOR, and The Fantastic Four live action TV series.) was obviously instructed to put in that line to subliminally prepare America and the western World for a coming war with Nigeria- long before the Christmas bombing.

A pattern is emerging. First DISTRICT 9, now this.

Expect more anti-Nigeria propaganda to come.

@oaroloye
That statement in the Avatar movie wasn't meant to be anti-Nigerian. But the way Nigerians were depicted in "District 9" was just purely disrespectful and insulting.

"Ije" will just be like every other wack Naija film I've seen.

man47:
Avatar is one of the best movie in the world.

Hmmm!!! Elementary my dear Man47.

"Avatar" needs to make an additional $470 million dollars from worldwide sales to knock "Titanic" off the number 1 spot.

Clinical Death http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_death
The news on Yar'Adua's death has been confirmed yet. But, he's health is really deteriorating.
He should step aside.

@Dr. Know, but ur name is Dr. Know. You ought to know.    

Yar'Adua is in a coma.

http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/2010/0111/Is-Nigerian-president-Yar-Adua-dead-His-absence-may-spark-political-crisis

Dr Know:
Not Yet, but clinically dead

What's the difference between being 'Dead' and 'Clinically Dead'?  

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (February 12 2010)
Date Night (April 9 2010)

Avatar was visually stunning. 'Avatar' has a better storyline than that of '2012'.

avatar is JUST like Ferngully (one of my favorite Disney movies 4rm 1992)

FernGully is not a Disney movie. It was released by 20th Century Fox.

I saw "Avatar" at the Silverbird cinemas and I have to say its d most visually stunning movie of 2009. Although the storyline is somehow similar to "Dances With Wolves", but it was well executed. I can't wait to watch it on Blu-ray, it will be incredible.

So, "Avatar" becomes the second highest selling movie worldwide of all-time ($1,162,361,307) with "Titanic" being the first at $1,842,879,955.

I'll give the movie 86%.
