Nollywood: lols, I can't sit my @ss for 2 hours or more to watch ridiculous productions with bad execution of great stories. But just as you've said, I just have to shine my eyes. Cos though I don't watch movies, I can't deny that I got to watch Figurine, Phone swap, mirror boy, ije:the journey and I watched last flight to abuja this week. I was impressed with the movies, so as time goes on, I might get to stick to the nollywood movies; cos I prefer their own stories(the good ones) to Hollywood.

blood of innocent igbo children and women

Fulaman198: What about people like Nwankwo Kanu who was one of the best strikers in his time when he was not sick. He was easily as good as Ronaldo when in his prime. Also Henry who is over 6 feet. Being a tall footballer has its advantages. Not really many disadvantages when you know how to play.

Also African footballers are very underrated. It is hard to really say what makes and breaks a strong team. When Nigeria was good in the 90s it was due to their speed, precise ball handling and passing. Don't forget how we bested Brazil, Argentina, and Spain in the 90s.

It is due to the corruption of our country that we can no longer field a team like that.

Don't forget how we bested Brazil, Argentina, and Spain in the 90s.

gbokukueba: The men's gold was off the field so i didnt count that.

@the rest, I haven't watched them and I will not cos they are not Nollywood movies but hustler movies. Why? Cos they didn't premiere at the cinemas, so I can't regard them as a movie. If you check my former posts, you Will understand my point. I don't even spend my money on them.
Such movies are not included in any awards (aama etc) cos they are not recognized. So I hope you know the difference now

@sisi kill, my advice to you is stop hyping Hollywood for them. Afterall its not gonna change how they always portray your country(and africa as a whole) in their movies. Eg. Tears of the sun, the Sahara, George of the jungle etc... What pains me the most is that, you guys always watch such movies and praise them not realizing their main aim; which is to ridicule Africans in the eyes of fellow Americans and the world.
I actually saw a comment of a white man on a documentary about nollywood on youtube which says

ebamma: the brits exposinging,i neva hear this kind english before,abi you relate with patience jonathan?

Nairalanders, how can you all ever be pleased?

maclatunji: This looks like British Press gone mad!

I agree with you jare. A rating of four stars out of five stars is possible for movies (vote is caste by site visitors)because the last time I checked, I did not even see "last flight to Abuja" on the website. You can check http://www.odeon.co.uk/ . The rating may have been done by Nigerians in the UK (with a fairly large population in London). The author of this story is just misleading people

kgold: Congratulations to Blessing Okagbare . She deserves an award. If our leaders and followers were the 8th best in the world in their jobs...what a great country we would have. I love you girl... Go for it in the Long Jump.

To every man in life, there is always a Don Jazzy, every other great person may look like him, but they can never be like him. Just as there is a Jay Z for every Kanye West; there is a Banky W for every Wizkid and Akon for every Lady Gaga,

I'll be honest, I followed this guy throughout his stay at Man Utd, till he was loaned to Newcastle and then loaned to Parma. I never heard of SAF trying to use Rossi to replace Scholes. That would have been insane. If I am right, it was around this time he bought Alan Smith and turned him to a midfielder and destroyed his career. Now I am really glad Rossi didn't make it at Man Utd. I hope his deal to Napoli goes through.

Thanks for the links, My bad.

You are wrong here. I followed Guiseppe Rossi from when he was brought to Old Trafford. He was always a creative finisher. If you remember, there were games (I think against Sunderland for instance) that he replaced Ruud Van Nisteelroy. I believe his problem was Rooney. Sir Alex could not stand having to drop Rooney to allow Rossi shine.

The Rossi SAF wanted to use to replace Scholes was De Rossi of Roma.

thegoodjoehunt:
That made Kaka still the whole shine while Pirlo was actually the best player. Although Pirlo was the most important player of AC Milan then, Kaka stole all the shine because he was in the preferred position. Mikel is doing well as a deep lying playmaker, but he will flourish as a CMF. Just the way Fabregas played for Arsenal.

By the way Guiseppe Rossi was never Paul Scholes replacement, he was a striker and left because Solksjaer refused to retire to create room for him to play.

When the useless government cannot provide simple drainage system ,the absence of which causes a wear and tear of building foundation,the roads are not tarred .Useless people in top govt echeleons ,may the blood of whoever dies due to their carelessness rest on them and their family

Godogwu: So you actually think the state of that stadium and the state of Nigeria will remain thesame until 2028? ....don't you think that's way too shallow for you to think?. The Govt can only do this much to better the lives of citizens, they cant go around giving N1m to every citizen. The betterment of the life of a Nigerian citizen lies solely In their hands and not the Govt.

God BLESS you for giving us those old memories of the GREAT mikel back in 2005 . That Mikel was light years ahead of this Mikel , He played elegantly back then and could shuttle between the center midfield and defensive midfield role until the defensive control freak called Mourinho brought him to Chelsea and destroyed his Career . Had Mikel signed for a team that encourages creative football like Bayern , Barcelona , AC Milan or even Arsenal he would have been THE BEST at the CMF / DMF role he plays . Take a look at how A.song has improved under Wenger .

montelik: technology is always advancing and the cars are being tweaked. so the same arguments could made about hamilton's wdc as well. cant you guys talk up your guy without constantly trying to delegitimize other drivers and champions qualities or achievements.

montelik: The most overhyped, over-rated wdc of the past and present day eras. Lewis 'its because I am black' Hamilton.

But I will never deny that, beyond all the nonsense his cheerleaders constantly spout, he is a very, very good driver. Unlike the Lewis farts rainbows and everyone is rubbish crowd.

Beaf: The most useless WDC's in living memory:

1. Jacques Villeneuve
2. Jenson Button
3. Sebastian Vettel

Living memory is defined as the last 15 - 20 years.
