The best graphic software for both professional, semi-professional and beginners is PHOTOSHOP.

If you are very good you can achieve compositing, picture retouching, image processing, digital inking/coloring, montage with it and so many more.

He did not remove poverty from his land, what makes u think he'll remove it elsewhere.

You don't think at all, Is he the cause of the widespread poverty in Nigeria? What have your so called leaders done to alleviate poverty in Nigeria? At least he's trying his best to help the impoverished.
Nairaland / General / Re: Bombshell ! Girl Of 18 Slept With Over 50 Men ! by OM3G5(m): 4:18pm On Oct 05, 2010
@Hsmpwise

I very much understood your reason for starting this thread, I think you wanted to share a point regarding how a young girl of 18 CONFESSED to what is generally unacceptable in an almost-ideal society as UK. But you shouldn't be surprise if some Nigerians or NL posters and readers couldn't grasp it because most Nigerians see nothing wrong from such deed since its so common here. Just as taopheek as already said, She ought to have done it for fun, but in my opinion if she confessed it genuinely then its business (watch Diary of a London Call Girl) but here in Nigeria Jesus!!!, some young girls would eventually lost count even if they decide to starts counting from when she could remember sexcapades. I mean it worse here, very young Girls but mature looking girls of 13 to 17 are getting banged for whatever reasons they want to get banged for. Mostly monetary(aristos) but other various reasons are sexual curiosity or some few are just nymphos - In some developed countries like UK or USA for example, 13-18 yrs old lady committing fornication is somehow frowned upon though we all know Europe and the west are the epitome of sexual depravity (their porn biz and sexual-appeal billboards, tv-ads, musical videos, movies etc) even the Arabs have subscribed to western style of tv ads (watch some commercial ads in MBC1,2,3, Al-Jazeera, etc).

My main point is if Nigeria was very okay economically, socially, basic infrastructures are in place and so on, our ladies wouldn't be as worst as 90% of them are now and likewise many youths and youngsters who are into advanced fee fraud and all various form of internet scams. (Yawu Yawu Boiz)

Culture / Re: Advantages And Disadvantages Of Inter-tribal Marriage by OM3G5(m): 4:08pm On Oct 05, 2010
Reference:

Can someone from Leeds marry a person from Brighton, what about New-york and Boston, how about Marseille marrying a dude from Strasbourg, Milan V Palermo, Cologne and Munich and on and on. What is our problem.

To let you realize how stupi.d and un-alaytical you are - someone from Leeds and Brighton are still the same English race whose origin is still the same Anglo/Celtic/Briton. Someone from New-York and Boston are still the same American citizen whose folks originally migrated from continental Europe or slaves brought from Africa or wherever. Anyone from Marseille marrying someone from Strasbourg are still consanguineously the same Gaul and same for someone from Milan marrying a lady from Palermo because they are still the same Romans likewise a man from Cologne marrying a woman from Munich they are the same Germans/Goths. So what the be intimate with is your point? Can't you see that those whites examples you presented are of the same race, rarely can you even see a Scandinavian marrying someone from Istanbul, why? because of the differences in their races, custom and beliefs, despite their Caucasian features. But here in Nigeria, ibo man and Yoruba man dey cohabit for millions of years before oyinbo man carry their wahala come, and since the amalgamation mistake has been done this inter-tribal and intra-tribal issues will continue to exist. All I can contribute is - if anyone chose to marry out of his/her tribe/race then both parties should just learn to love and respect their differences provided their is true love.

viperman:

From experience, having great self-control, self-respect and setting your life priorities right; coupled with being intelligent/clever enough to know when to use artificial control all combined makes one a master of real True control. Its a mind thing which everyone(women inclusive) can either choose to train themselves on over a period of time till it becomes part of their being/mentality(becomes natural to them) or stay unguarded.
Once this becomes part of you, it can be applied to any area of your life not only relationships.

you are right only in the aspect when you said setting your life priorities right, but the aspect when you said its a mind thing is implausible because the mind is like a wavy thing or more like a fat ball trying to balance on thin string. Since it's not everyone that can attain an ascetic state of mind except few martial monks and some priest hence your point is refutable. Sins of the flesh alone can shatter all the disciplinary measures your experience proffers.

[b]Andy Whitfield Bow Out  [/b]Spartacus: Blood and Sand star Andy Whitfield will not be returning to the second season of the Starz series, the network announced today via press release. The actor, who was in remission after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March, has been advised to resume "aggressive treatment" for the disease. "It's with a deep sense of disappointment that I must step aside from such an exceptional project as Spartacus and all the wonderful people involved," Whitfield said in the release. "It seems that it is time for myself and my family to embark on another extraordinary journey. Thank you for the support so far."

The series had delayed production in the spring while Whitfield underwent treatment; the actor had been training for the second season after he was declared cancer-free in June. At this point, the network has not made any decisions regarding the series' future. "Right now, we just want to extend our concern and support to Andy and his family," Starz Media's Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik said in the statement. "We will address our programming plans at some later date." Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, a prequel to the series, will still air as scheduled in January 2011.                                                                                     No more Spartacus  embarassed embarassed

What is this fuss about control all about?. I think we should be talking about love and not control. Every right thinking girl already knows that she will subject herself to the uncased control of the man who loves her. Just love a woman with the whole of your heart and she will willingly and joyfully submit herself to your control. Control is earned and not enforced. Let's play this game according to the rules.

What is this fuss about control all about?. 
For guys who feel insecured.

I think we should be talking about love and not control.
Exactly my point, but true love no dey 9ja

Every right thinking girl already knows that she will subject herself to the uncased control of the man who loves her.
Pointless, articulate your points

Just love a woman with the whole of your heart and she will willingly and joyfully submit herself to your control.
What if you love her with your whole heart and she feigns to love you back equally unknown to you that there's a hidden ulterior motive?  So for you not to hang yourself, you'd better adopts tai2's oscar winning True-Control method or my heed advice: Pray until your God allow you jam your destined thru heart wey una go too fit each other (compatible)" yoruba peeps go sey "2 ge 4"

Control is earned and not enforced.
I agree but it also depends in which aspects. Relationship? Leadership? Dictatorship? Sibling rivalries? which one?

Let's play this game according to the rules?
Whose rule? your rule? Bible rule? Quranic rule? Kama Sutra rule? traditional rule?

No be everybody dey appreciate movies o, I know people wey hate DaVinci Code pass Igodo, some people just don't know it's not all movies they can comprehend, even me gon sef. Some oyinbo flick you have to have pre-knowledge about some subjects in other to even get an inkling of what the movie is about. Knowledge ranging from history to paranormal sciences. I can reference so many flicks i bet you polyphasic wouldn't even grasp the message even if you research it later on.

Romance / Re: How To Maintain And Control A Woman by OM3G5(m): 9:30pm On Sep 17, 2010
I can't believe I had to save every pages of this thread all from page 1 to 26 just so i can read it all offline on my laptop, first of all, What you all (tai2 and all commenters) don't realise is that, there are different types of guys just as there are various types of girls as "queeneve" has best put it by citing the 'Fingerprint theory', my opinion is that in the course of a straight guy looking for a straight girl (like topup/spikedcylider) and unfortunately encounters a game-playing girl (like ayettmama, etc) or a twisted-unbalance chick or a gold-digger, such a guy should either change course or if he still want to "koribo" due to maybe her looks or whatever made him tripped then he may adopts tai2's award winning True-Control method.

To me, I personally think, if all guys for no reason should emulate tai2's methods as elaborated in the first page of this thread then that would be too bad, because every guys would definitely hurt some innocent girls who are propably naïve or new to the love game and relationship matters. Guys, Hold on!, don't crucify me yet, I am not supporting the ladies because playgirls too hurts inexperienced and innocent guys too which i happen to be a victim of in the past when i was still too affectionate about loving and also naïve.
had done to me in the past, but I can't, because what if i end up hurting an innocent chick who just craves affection and some one to share feelings with; hence i will be among the agents who fuels a perpetual cycle of an heart-breaking scheme all in the name of "There are so many fishes in the water, Go get yours" unknown that some of those fishes are titus(innocentie), mackerel(emotional), cote(virgin mind), salmon(Infatuated) while other fishes are barracudas(gold-diggers), piranha(nymphomaniacs), electric fish(seemingly innocent), octopus(glory suckers), whale(trappers), so it all depends on the nature of who's fishing, and since only boys go fishing (do the wooing/toasting/approaching) he should hope/optimistic about getting his heart desired fish i.e. a compatible partner sometimes a goldfish glistening beneath the water doesn't mean it wont turn out to be a squid/kraken in disguise (like the female villain in The Little Mermaid) but apart from all these analogies, I have 5 sisters and as the only male, I wouldn't be happy to see a true-control guy controlling my beautiful sisters. So I wouldn't deem tai2's method as the best. In fact his post is visceral and a "kill-Bill" for jilted guys.

PHASE 1
I have read some books in trying to understand women, books ranging from 'The Feminine Mystique', 'The Womens Room' to various books on how to Seduce, How to Love, How to Charm and I say they're all useless 'cos

1. Those white authors don't know some of those hints and advices in their books don't apply here in our 9ja society, and
2. Because they want to sell, they'd write anything claiming its tried and works.
3. The more you try to understand females, the more complex they become (believe me, its road to insanity)

PHASE 2
why trying to understand or control a girl/woman, I'm sure some females too will be pondering why can't men control their propensity to wage wars, why do men kill themselves in millions, afterall "na woman dey born man, man no fit born man lai lai and na during wartime man wey woman born go kill another man wey woman carry for bele for 9 months".

PHASE 3
Yes i know, and I'm aware that they are some chicks that are not only unduly disrespectful but also vainglorious. And the ones i despise the most her those bimbos*  - as one of my pals likes to say it "only think with their cun.ts", those types and various shades of Jezebel shouldn't tarnish the good eggs, okay, are all guys too honest and truly loving, no one's perfect. No, of course, We all know there exist guys who are seemingly prince charming(wolves-in-lamb-clothing) pretending to be Romeos. Some 9ja guys are overly egocentric just as 90% of of bimbos in 9ja whose beautiful looks has gotten into their skull hopping from one "not-too-heavily-loaded" guy to another "more-heavily-loaded" until they land on a stupendously rich 'bobo' such 9ja chiks are conscious of the kind of cynosure they elicit among the general males therefore they believe their beauty is for the highest bidder. I don't like to watch those so called 9ja movies at all especially those english-speaking ones because they tend to vitiate and misdirect the minds of our girls with their unrealistic and hyperbolized love stories, but they was a particular one i glimpsed for a while (Men Do Cry) where there was this young lady that said something like "since chief loves me, i don't need to love him back so far I'm getting what i need". I chuckled and thought to myself "now that's realistic".

PHASE 4
My point is - For every guy there's a totally compatible and understanding girl/wife somewhere in this planet, likewise for all ladies - there's that compatible guy who will accept her just like that for who she is and not what some people think she is. Yoruba people do say "Ki odumare fun wa ni iyawo wa". Couples that are very compatible will fit into each other seamlessly like interlocks and no matter what, i tell you no matter what, they may never bifurcate because things like respect, caring, understanding, honesty, etc will be natural and no problem such as koboko control would pose a threat to their relationship be it marriage or not. Apart from infatuation-afflicted-ones, don't you all think there are those who genuinely expresses actions that portray sayings similar to "I just like him/her like that".

PHASE 5
The only time problem occurs in an ideal relationship of two comaptible couples is when a guy start listening to thoughts like "my girl belly isn't as flat as his girl's" that's when 'ojukokuro' tendency develops and before you know he gives in to many of such misleading thoughts and thus enrolling with the insecured lots that perpetrates a ceaseless cycle of infidelity as explained above, same thing for girls and housewives who gives listening ears to their friends remarks about how their boyfriend/husband can over-satisfy them or over-indulges them.

At times, i tend to think it isn't always about Koboko-control (Koboko is v. important sha) when tai2 gave the example of Kimora Lee Simmon dumping Russel Simmon for Djimon Honsou but what about the long lasting American couples of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas (their tight marriage may as well be grounded in their Irish ancestry despite their prenuptial agreement).

Before i summarize my own personal experience, i have to say this first - i have come to realize that love in this kind of society called Nigeria is something else. A whole lot of people here don't know it actual meaning. That's why i enjoy defining the kind of love i observe among lovebirds in a retrogressive and decadent society like ours as an "emotional disturbance between two unbalance people". No pun intended, I know a lot would disagree but you're welcome.

Yeah, yeah, i know true love exist but it has become extinct here, and I wouldn't know about other places. Some 9ja males (playboiz/yawu boiz) thinks subsequent matters should be steered towards sex after the mere telling of a girl "i love you" just as some 9ja girls (gold-diggers/aristos) believes after a guy profess of being in love or acts to be genuinely in love then the next thing is exploitation either he admits it early or later.

PHASE 6
Regarding my own nasty ordeal with 9ja girls, o boy!, i don't even know where to begin, the few ones I've encountered made me understand sey  - even playboys and some true-control guys go try harder because i think I've been unfortunate to have collided with SIRENS POSING AS BETTY PAGE only to reveal at the end the vampire fangs they've used not only to suck your pockets dry but also sucked the PTLA* out of you. No regrets though! but sincerely typing (lol) at my tender age of early 20, 98% of 9ja girls ranging from 16 to 25 could be a majour distractions for aspiring 9ja guys who need to focus on achieving their goals especially the pretty girls, just as i reckon some handsome 9ja guys too can be distractive for some aspiring, career-building 9ja girls (Hillary-clinton-or-oprah-wannabe-type) (lol). When i was still naive and unenlightened to the ways of 9ja chicks, there was this particular girl whom i genuinely loved and always like to call but would never for once call back (never knew it was a strategy) even at public calling centers, so i thought it best getting her a phone only to do the same thing, cos she ain't got dough and all that bullshit, that's when i started realising "o boy, see me see anopheles mosquito o". One day, while me and her senior brother were arguing about the issue of 'All girls aren't the same', he didn't agree with my opinion and to emphasized that he told me to my face that one of the mistakes i did was buying her sister that phone. Then, i never knew such act is a wrong move, but i did it out of simple understanding that "okay, she needs a phone, after all she go dey call me". But like i keep telling the likes of him that such behaviour are  characteristics of 80% 9JA CHICKS. (DEM GO LOOK DOWN ON YOU IF U NO GET RIDE OR GET TOO MUCH MONEY) If no, then why would 90% hop from you wey dey drive a Golf-2 to another guy wey no fyn reach u but dey drive hummer 3 + flash money yawu boy. 


IN CONCLUSION:
All in all, No one's perfect, we are all different, our DNA isn't the same, as you dey search hope/pray make you jam your your true love. If you no jam her, such is life. deal with it like a man. manage the one wey u get or perhaps if you fit give True-Control a try but i am not in support of it 100% sha. All those articulations wey tai2 dey yan - i feel am die but at the same time no one needs to let a woman know that a man is her boss any day, it's already entrenched in their subconscious mind and please ladies don't misconstrue it to mean machoness/cockey/despotic husband and what have you. Every man needs to know that a male can live without female in this world but if not for s3x and their soft skin no matter how many inventions, how many female android or she-cyborg man won do thru technology na still lie, e no go fit be like d original female. God don do am dat way, they are our missing ribs (i no be christian o) and ladies too, please abeg wetin i dey type no means say i dey support una because despite say i no subscribe to Christian theology i go still quote bible where una christian God talk say "Let us make man in our own image" which means say una God no get intention to create the female sex in the first place, so which also means of all the beings wey dey for christian heaven, female gender no dey exist at all, d idea occur to una God wen he realize sey man go need help for im to conquer earth, na im e kon create Eve from d rib wey e comot from man body while slumbering. So una be our partner. But come to think of it o sha, partner in what? because bible tok say Eve ate the forbidden fruit, a metaphorical riddle man never still decipher, but some christian theologists believe say d forbidden fruit means s3xual intercourse with serpent lucifer, d original sin wey con open woman eye too see her self say her bobbi and t0t0 no suppose dey exposed, dem must be covered. Wisdom don dey come small small to woman first, so we fit say eve na lucifer partner-in-crime. But e no go make sense if we tok say hence all women still dey in cahoot with serpent lucifer and his demonic legions to eventually bring forth the Fall of Man. So christian men you see now say u gast dey carefull with woman or try be a True-Control guy.  ALL NA BULLSHIT!!!! I no be muslim but i support islamic polygamous way and i can prove that polygamy go solve a lot of problems (na argument intended for another thread) and em, finally sha!, woman once again abeg make una dey try respect man even if na small small make our head dey swell, i no mean to the point of sycophancy (joking), On a serious note, guys adopt the rule i accronyzed as A.B.C.* but only for male wey no know subconsciously sey woman know subconsciously sey we be dem Kingkong. Warner Bros even reflected the rule in one of their Justice League episodes where one man try everything in life to satisfy im wife to d extent of inventing a machine to go back and forth in time, na when d man don travel well well, distort history by changing events all just to satisfy his wife, i think he even made her a queen beside a queen in another timespace, but in the end all na lie. D man con mad for the end dey regret, dey hala, dey shout say wetin im fit do to assuage this creature called woman, only for her to calmly tell him if i can remember well, something similar to  "All i ever wanted from you was for you to be" whether na "assertive or affirmative" i no too remember.

I am still in page 21 and still reading, na topup really sparked me to write all this, i hope no mistake in my post cos i fast typed all these words, and as for Spikedcylinder and Davidylan, i missed two of them, i think spikedcylinder is a type of chik that auto braces herself by bringing forth a strong defensive mechanism for a too-ideal-a-guy as davidylan at the mere detection of what she thinks is a run-overing. I have a gift that best illustrate the kind of individuals they really are. I shall post it later.

Because the movie setting is based on that era!. So because of that, you didn't watch it, you should have deleted it instead, daft.

TV/Movies / Re: Spatacus (blood And Sand) by OM3G5(m): 6:21pm On Sep 15, 2010
Of it class, Spartacus is the most standard episodic movie i have watched since 'Rome'. With a bit of fiction blended with historical facts. Evenit fighting styles is similar to the combats in Frank Miller's 300, even more augmented.

Pukkah:

The film further lends credence to the fact that the problems of man (sex, religion, politics, etc) have been here for a long time and will be for ever?
I don't see how religion was reflected as a problem in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. If you did a bit of history, you will understand that back then in Rome, there was only one faith and that was their traditional beliefs in Gods/Animism which comprises of specific rites attributed to each one of their deities, all these and other beliefs where borrowed from the Greeks, and the Greeks in turn borrowed extensively from the Egyptians (Ancient Egypt and not Ptolemic or other periods) via the Assyrians, Syrians, et al. I also think religion ought to have come first in your list before politics, then sex should be the last, and to me, sex is just part of man's instinctive nature to perpetuate which is also a necessity.

Believe me Religion is the root of all the problems in this world most especially in Africa. Why? Because, before Euro-america (i.e. The Western World) turned to capitalism, they were in the conquering business for so long until they realized it's not as lucrative as it used to be, They began phase 2, as if all has already been planned out, they (The Romans under Constantinople) syncretized and nurtured an immature religion in the middle east, Christianity, a still-growing faith they never really paid attention to in the first place when they were still up-high and mighty. They appended all the once genuine histories, events and stories of all the nations they had conquered and colonized in the past, with a normal dose of distortion fused it with Jewish Judaism, various semitic beliefs and a bit of Greek myths and viola - The Holy Bible. Another instrument to conquer heathens and infidels throughout the world and appropriating their undeserved land in the name of an Holy Crusade. 'Pope' a title proclaimed to represent God's second-in-command on earth bestowed with divine authority would sanction such heinous deed as the one that ended Galileo, Then, the Pope was the final authority on Earth. Back then, so many great minds (Scientist, Renaissance man, etc) all couldn't voice out because of persecution so they formed various sodalities where there could secretly share and discuss scientific inventions and discoveries among themselves, few of these society (e.g. Priory of Scion) survived for some time on the condition that they represent a Roman Catholic sect and support Papacy,
Enough of my digression, back to how all this affected Africa, Yes, In Phase 3; In the guise of spreading the gospel they r4ped Africa off it resources (Slaves,Minerals and Materials) to develop their war-ravaged lands in Europe and America, I wouldn't be justifying their actions if I'd say all what they did to us would have been fair only if they hadn't forcefully sold us a concept of a proselytizing religion of Christianity and the Arabs - Islam, because Africa - An almost utopian society whose inhabitants never complained to anyone about their indigenous faiths, never tried to conquer others in the name of my God is better than yours, never wrote any letter of 'Requesting Civilization Here' to the whites, never wage massive large-scale war like the war-mongering Mongols did; a distant cousins of the Europeans.

Imagine two black Africans arguing fervently about Christianity and Islam and I am always like these guys shouldn't be involved in these two semitic religions in the first place just like one would find it weird and rare to see two Japanese or any oriental arguing about Christianity and Islam in schools.

Now that since the 19th century, Euro-America have realized that Phase 3 would soon expire, they created an economist and capitalist society, a model any nation should emulate, Industrialization is the status-quo today and he who controls the world economy rules the modern world, but they left their religion problems here in Africa which is still our bane.

I know I shouldn't have brought all this history to this "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" thread but hey, that episodic movie is all about history too, it was the third servile war in Rome brought about buy a man-turned-rebel who was enslaved and whose homeland (Thrace) was brutalized all because of a mere disagreement and ego. And besides, I watched a documentary on Sierra Leone titled Cry-Freetown, It was about how its people were being slaughtered like pigs all because of diamonds 'a symbol of love' in the western world and when I tried to ponder real deep about the main cause of all these Africa problems, one would realize they all boil down to religion and not only in Freetown alone, but all the strife, despair and wars in Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, etc are deep rooted in Religion except for apartheid South Africa.


I have once thought to myself that in 10,000 years to come, blacks can never be capable of masterminding the kind of wars Gaelic,Welsh,Breton,Saxons,Celts,Germans,Gauls,Goths,Gauls,Aryan,Arabs,Mongols,Balkans,Cossacks,Scandinavians,Slavs,etc etc (So many of them) have waged among themselves externally and internally. So many War books written about all their histories, they've all fought countless number of wars from Battle of Naseby to Battles in Iraq - No one can keep count of them. Inclduing the Arabs and the Asians too.

Can anyone please tell me the name of a Nigerian movie i glimpsed yesterday on AIT around 2am in the morning, there was a scene there with a man depicted to be a native doctor wearing a jester cap. How silly could these NGWADAC be.

@O.M.3.G.4
Why is "The Expendables" not on your list?

Not that I like these them so much, but here's a list of some of the bloodiest action movies of 2010 so far:
- The Expendables
- KickAss
- From Paris with Love


I am very much aware of it, infact i have watched 2 different versions of its official trailer prior to its release dates. I did not included it because I haven't yet watched it. But I will soon.

Kick Ass isn't an action flick, its more of a kiddo-type of flick and not within the real shoot 'em up genres. So i don't think it should be included.

--190--:

Im watching the expendables rite now-- crystal clear and its kinda bloody but i dont think Jet LI is suited for shooting of guns~

besides the Bad guys of the movie would have been split,maybe jet li would have gone the other way to the bad guyz wiv doulph lundgren and stone cold,


the bloodiest ive seen are"

the expendables,
Kiss backside
let the right one in (horror)
and Nightmare on elm street (2010 renewed)


Like i said above, KickAss isn't an action movie to me, and your listed "et the right one in"
and Nightmare on elm street are horror. The thread is about - Your Bloodiest Action Movies Of 2010

A BIT COMPLEX, YES BUT ITS ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT WELL-CRAFTED PSYCHO-THRILLER I HAVE EVER WATCHED SINCE "IDENTITY" starring John Cusack and "TWISTED" starring Samuel L. Jackson and Ashley Judd".

IF I WERE ASK TO RATE IT, I'D GIVEN IT: 8/10

kobikwelu:

Yeah for the mature mind and not for crappy nollywood drenched movie goers

TV/Movies / Re: Kajola - Another Reflection Of Naija Ineptitude by OM3G5(m): 4:31pm On Aug 14, 2010
AkoEja:

OM3G4's  criticism is not constructive. He has not even watched the film!. He says he is into CGI/animation etc, anyone can say that. I am also into CGI, as I have created some rectangular characters in 3DS max and lightwave, holywood/nollywod, I am ready
People who have seen Kajola say its a big improvement. Even the executive producer said he is not saying its the best film ever. The guy invested 130million naira which is no small beef. The lack of cinemas in the country is a factor slowing down the development of our movie industry, as there is not a lot to make from DVDs due to piracy, especially in Nigeria.

Let us appreciate our own a little. Expecting people to produce movies that compete with holywood is unrealistic, and its not fair.

My criticism isn't constructive, i agree but neither is it negative or discouraging as many any of you seem to think, i am just pointing out obvious flaws judging from the trailer on STV and YouTube.

Why would i go watch a film that has been pulled out of the STV cinemas when a a lot of its viewers started demanding for a refund, i am not even sure if it's still been advertised.

True, anyone can say he/she is into CGI and animation and stuff like that but not everyone can profess it

130 million naira is just a measly $858,857 as at today interbank rate and that budget is lilliputian compared to even the lowliest of the lowliest of an American low budget movie, even some south-african hit movie

AkoEja and the likes of you should try and make points and stop punching the people like me who want the industry to genuinely improve.
