Going by the spate of drive by shootings, black on black violence, gangbanging, gangsterism, babymama lifestyle, they are not in anyway superior to their black brothers in africa. We have values. They dont. The average nigger apart from the ones that are highly educated is poor in mentality. The difference is the geographical location they found themselves in courtesy of slave trade. Many of them won't survive in Africa if the topography was reversed

The ones saying this are actually the thrashy blacks, the drug addicted good for nothing blacks that are unhappy that blacks from Africa, are reaching feats they can't reach and getting jobs they can only dream of....i pay no mind to them.

JackBizzle:
I understand what you are saying. But how do we as blacks move forward?

We are enslaved by religion and colonial mentality.

Just look at the front page and see how many Nigerians are supporting Israel. The same Israel that the whole world is now wanting to stop the genocide. And of course, the Muslim Nigerians support Palestine blindly. I have two Muslim guys in the Muslim section who have never criticized APC or Buhari or Tinubu but they shout for Palestine all day.

We are enslaved mentally. The slavery of blacks has moved from physical to mental.

We worship the white man and also worship his God.

Just even look at the comment saying that the western countries are better because they have war heroes.....as if Africa or Asia don't have war heroes as well.

I preach every day but the enslaved ones say that I'm a fool. The irony

Man, I feel Religion is the biggest monster here. A Northern muslim feels people in Gaza are his direct bloodlines because they share the same religion, and meanwhile, all the wanton killings and kidnapping going on already him doesn't concern him, because to him "these infidels" deserves it and despite being of the same nationality, aren't his brothers!...such a gutter mentality that reeks of low IQ.

Same vein some Christians are also supporting Isreal because to them, they are one and the same! part of God's own people they say!, meanwhile, Isrealis aren't even Christian, they gladly signed off Christ's crucifixion, and they don't give a damn about any teachings that is outside the mosaic law.

Religion has such a stronghold here, like it is so uncanny, recently women were rejecting, cervical cancer vaccine because their pastor said so, and they want to use the vaccine to control world population!, like how dumb can you be?, you did science basically all your life, and all that education, logic and reasoning is out of the window because your pastor said so?? So no free thinking of your own? Haba.

Sorry to say, i might not have the data to backup it up, but blacks of African descent, are probably the demographic with the lowest IQ, in the entire world and that's why it's very difficult to make any meaningful progress.

The damage that religion and cultural differences have done here might be irreversible, in genetics, a person's personality and thinking is a result of genetics and environment, and this warped herd environmental low mentality thinking has been engrained into genetics here, and so children born these days, come out thinking this way, the only way to save such child, is if you as a parent is proactive.

It will take years, if not centuries, of social re-engineering to change these hyper religiosity and cultural bais mentality, only then, will Nigeria, or Africa be ready to move forward, i wouldn't bet on it tho.

I am pretty sure if this was a white actor, "The Slap" shindig would have boiled over by now, but because of his race, all his illustrious achievements is still gonna be defined by that action. I mean this man is quite possibly one of the greatest entertainers ever, but his career is been wilted down to a misdemeanor that quite frankly came from a good place, i mean, most sane women will totally love their man defending them in the face of disrespect, albeit the wife is thrash tho imo.

Ezra miller's rap sheet is longer than the rival Nile, and he is damn near a felon!, but that didn't stop him from appearing in a big budget flick on a big platform with said platform bosses even trying to defend him before the movie came out.


Will Smith is an Oscar Best Actor winner, and he is still been treated like this, inferring that as a person of Black origin, you are already at a disadvantage, sad, but it is what it is, and The only way to gain prominence, break the stereotypes and earn global respect is for us to be united for causes that concerns us...See what the Jews and Indians are doing, Isreal is damn well committing a genocide but the "first class countries" are turning a blind eye, because Jews are in the upper echelons of the world strata. Compare to Blacks, Black Americans have a low mentality thinking that they are more "superior" than Blacks from African descent, like same skin color o, but they feel they are ""Superior"....beats me.

I saw a US grad student from Africa leading a #FreePalestine movement last month, and this brother was ready to loose his admission, lose his F-1 visa and possibly get deported for the cause! and i was like, look at this dumb fóól!, if the roles were reversed, no arab or Caucasian is risking all that for your black behind!.

We as blacks need to do much better.

Folks were on about, but we didn't like the last one, when in reality this was the most obvious trilogy flick ever, glad Sony duly obliged.


Let's have it jorrr 🙏🏿

Oh Maann...Just look at the state of this poster!...No just take a good look at the state of this beauty 😩😍.

The Graphics design team ate ngl becuz this Instantly my fave movie poster of the year, thus far.

And Alien hive, we are so backkk! 🎈👽🛸

Oyaskii.... Una dey see the rubbish for this forum??
See wetin person just dey complain about...😂😂😭


SEUN, when will all this nonsense stop pls? It's getting annoying and unbearable. I no just understand this level of nonchalance. If you were not making money from it now, it's a different ball game, but this forum puts money into your pocket so this level of mediocrity is disappointing in 2024.

How I wish another forum go come and compete with NL cos this arrogance na nonsense.

Something wey person dey make money from na im him dey use am play. Well, what do I know. Na Nigerian man normal culture, so not so surprised.

lol i just read your writeup in your SS and nothing on there warrants a bot ban, so the whole thing is just baffling. A troll can run amok here for days and the bot will do nothing...total BS.

Lmaaooo Spamy Bot Clamp you as we dey discuss him matter, abduleez1?? 😅🤣😭🤣🤣.....Too poetic 😭

abduleez1:
The Leftovers S1......8.5/10

Finally found time to watch this HBO gem. Premium storytelling at its peak despite being a head wracking mystery. I still no understand wetin dey sup and some weird characters with their non linear behaviours but the drama, thriller and acting keeps on climbing new heights with each episode.

Now that's a big way to end a season.


Can't believe I've been postponing this masterpiece for years. Got a bit bored few months ago when I tried to watch it. But last week, damn... Couldn't let go and rushed it. Seems sometimes one has to be in a certain frame of mind to actually enjoy something. I knew I'd enjoy it later on so I wasn't too bothered for abandoning it for long and still went ahead to download the whole season. Gut feeling at its peak.

Top tier TV show. And seeing this Carrie Coon just dey gimme joy. Margaret Qualley and Justin Theroux are solid scene stealers too.
It's super talky and a pretty slow burn but storytelling and writing is worth it.

Wait you are just seeing it now!? It's like one of the best HBO shows ever, so so good. The opening episode was so so profound, set up everything nicely. In season 2 it seems they were doing a different show, but it was all connected in a beautiful way.

I remember the subreddit used to go off with so many reactions because there was so many aspects of the show that defied logic and reasoning, like did Wayne actually had powers or was it all just symbolic 😅.

Max Richter also created magic with the score, especially the opening sequence.

Good good show, I cut cap for HBO, them sabi this series thing die!🫡

abduleez1:
Omo the thing dey pain ehn.... I wanted to talk about the DC slate last week with fresh news from the franchise and with Lanterns update with top writers and directors.... Wrote one small epistle only to see my post deleted.
I wan cry.... I still have the copy of the writeup but to even post am with my alternate moniker ginger no come even dey again sef. Next day I saw a DC fan talking about same news but no in-depth follow on discussion fit sup as that ban no ginger me to raise arguments cos od fear of ban.

lol Na make my shalaye here don gradually reduce, i no just get strength. Them police this forum pass Reddit sef, to even post clean external link na wahala, UI experience be like something from 1970 😩

abduleez1:
Godzilla x Kong......5.5/10

Majorly nonsensical movie..... Boring humans with stupid dialogues, but that's not what I came for in the first place. The Titans were obviously the draw. And delivered in the powered fights and all. But entire storytelling na mediocrity.

The CGI for Godzilla in this is better than the one on Gojira: Minus One but well you can only do so much with such shoestring budget for a blockbuster fare.
Seems, Japanese Godzilla Minus One made this Hollywood installment looks premium stale probably because one has been exposed to better similar content. So this Godzilla installment was just an obligation to the franchise.

lol... I totally can't be arsed with any Godzilla movie, the last one i saw was the with Millie Bobby Brown, and i just knew it wasn't for me, so if they like they should pair Godzilla vs Kratos vs Superman in the next installment, it still wouldn't pique my interest.

abduleez1:
This thing dey tire person no be small.

As in...worse thing, no clear guidelines on the words that the spam bot picks up for ban, i am just playing russian roulette when posting. Imagine typing an epistle and it gets clamped for a word, that isn't revealed to you and so you might used said word again and you just enter a vicious cycle of spam bot ban.... sickening.

We might actually need the strongest laxative on the shelf by the end of June, with the kind of feasting that's in store in terms of TV shows this month, like wtf? Have we ever had this many good shows starting/returning in the same month?? 😩.

Not matter which side you look, you are eating good 😋....fully seated for this buffet 🌮

iceboy4752:
His score for Oppenheimer (2023) was just great. Especially "Can You Hear The Music?"

The entire album was such a beautiful piece of film music. No surprises for the Oscar win. I had the album on both my Spotify and Apple Music Wrapped last year, just to tell you how much i rinsed the album.

And yet there are folks who don't enjoy or pay attention to film music or score 😩. One of my fave scores ever enncusplate how a proper score can elevate a scene.

It is called "God Particle" by Hans Zimmer from "Angels and Demons" (2009). It is played during the scene where they discovered that the "Anti matter could end all life as we knew it" and so the template was "invoke dread" and boy did Hans Zimmer go to town! infusing different element including some faint Latin incantations in the background, whilst Joshua Bell was on Violin solo, doing his thing and serenading the whole thing, then towards the end, Hans Zimmer infuses a rotor effect, and if you're listening on a Hi Fi headphones, it will seem as if, a helicopter is flying loudly above your head and it's about to crash down... it's so so good and without even seeing the scene, fear go don already dey catch you 😩.

That's why Hans Zimmer is probably their father when it comes to this score thing, but this new crop are trying sha o especially Ludwig Göransson, i saw his work on "The Mandalorian" and i instantly knew he was the one, The Lisan al Gaib once Hans bows out 🤘🏿

Junkie XL Maan...I thought you was a real one? 😔. So should this score scrap any award, who gets the credit you or the bloody A.I?? Sickening.

This AI BS is gonna cause more harm than good if not properly policed. I can't see how people don't see that it is gonna stifle creativity in the long run and make us all like zombies clutching at the feet of the latest AI model to do basic and flimsy tasks that humans can actually do better.

The only reason Hollywood bigwigs are clamoring for it's inclusion in movies, is unbridled greed to cut cost and reek more profits but if you think screen writing is bad now which is leading to more subpar movies, just wait till AI starts writing screen plays armed with the knowledge of all the woke nonsense we have now. It is just going to be X10 bad.

I fed my last blog entry to a particular AI model and it came out worse. Point being, AI can't tell human stories , no matter how trained or adaptive the model is, there is this particular emote a story or screen play written by an actual human has, that an AI can never replicate, Only humans can properly tell stories about the human condition
, giving, AI can help you shapen your story to be better, but if these folks are gonna rely on this tech to write the whole thing, then i want no part in it.

Every single app now has some form of AI model infused to do nonsensical things that no one asked for to be quite honest, it's a total mess, AI was supposed to solve complex mathematic equations that takes us to other planets and explore the vast galaxy beyond the Milky Way, Solve complex torque mechanism that finally gives us flying cars, break cancers to the last atom and give a true lasting cure to this menace of a diseases etc...These are much better uses of this tech that benefits us all, and ensures we don't all lose our jobs to AI and instead makes us do our jobs better. But if folks gonna be using it to write stories from scratch or something as flimsy as replying an email? Then i fear, it might be time to gatekeep this technology

The last episode did my head in with all the many multiversal jumps, so i am trying to finish the book this week and get the hang of the all thing, whilst i wait 6 weeks or so for the show to end...i mean, it's just 15 chapters....light work 📖 😅☺️

"The Responder S2 (2024)"

Bleak....Just Bleak 😔

This is a grim and unrelenting portrayal of a Night time police responder's struggles. I thought Season 1 was depressing, but this installment takes it to a new level - possibly the most depressing piece of tv I've seen in a while. The protagonist is trapped in a grueling job with minimal rest, a meager salary, and shady side gigs that threaten to destroy his personal and professional life. Just when a glimmer of hope appears, he's dragged back into the vicious cycle of his bleak existence.

Despite the darkness, the show is soso brilliant, the writing and delivery, so so strong and Martin Freeman shines as the lead and i pray he continues to make more of this

Again, Do British shows ever miss? Their conversion rate is like C.Ronaldo's level, 100 shots on target, 99 goals fgs 😩. They have a knack for crafting quality TV like this with concise, 5-6 episode seasons that pack a punch.If your mental health can handle the intense bleakness of this, I highly recommend it. 🙃

8/10

Fall Guy....... 5/10


An extremely mediocre movie
The literal definition of "shut-off-your-brain-and-watch"

I didn't go in expecting some serious plot...but at least have the decency to make something suitable for anyone above 12.

Even for popcorn movies, there's a limit to which I can shut off my brain.
Nothing in this movie makes any sense...from the story to the characters acting like the biggest idîots...

The writing is extremely laughable even for an unserious movie...

Apparently you can now fake your death by crashing a boat and leaving behind only your cloth...
No body, no teeth, nothing, just a piece of clothing and everyone including the police somehow believe you're dead...ok...

I get it's supposed to be a comedy that makes no sense...but still at least show some signs that you take your audience seriously...

I expected more from the director of Bullet Train

Seems, there are so many turn off your brain flicks than actual turn on your brain flicks these days.

No way, we all not turning Zombies in the next few years, at this rate 😩.

Sad sad decline.

"No right side una". Does the show runner have retrograde amnesia?? Has he forgotten the green alliance stole Rhaenyra’s crown and damn well killed her son??. 😩

Anyway, there is no time for this dilly dally, Just Be there 👊🏿, on Sunday June 16, 2024, as my bae in the black corner, together with her Husband/Uncle/Mentor, lay assault on King's Landing, to claim what is rightful theirs.

Stand with us or stand aside 😅☺️

I thought there were talks of them becoming more discerning with the projects they greenlight. Guess it was just talk

abduleez1:
Lol, Netflix movies have a reputation to be useless 95% of the time. It's only in TV series they measure up to the others.
Although, with a new executive in the film division things looks to change.

Seems this one just slipped through the door and it was already green lit before the commitment to stop making garbage flicks.

Hoping the recent resolve, leads to better quality projects, if for anything, to justify the ridiculous spiral increase in sub prices they have been on lately.

Another Netflix Bomba 💣. I have to ask, does any other streaming platform produce this much bottom barrel flicks than actual good ones, than these lot? I can't remember them putting out any actually good movies this year.

I totally rate their commitment to green lit just about any project that comes through thier doors tho, garbage and whatnot 👍🏿

I gagged at this reference 😩😩🤣🤣. Basically the plot 😅

IngeniousLeez:
Cc oyaskii

I was nabb£d..

So sorry for the nabbing man 😩.

Lol i didn't put Lovecraft County because I haven't actually seen it 🫣. It's one of those shows, i thought i will eventually get to but i never got around to it.

Brotherly, how many shows/movies pesin wan watch for this lifetime sef? I have had a good run of seeing shows and films in the last 2 months or so, but i opened my HDD and discovered i haven't even scratched the surface of the things i need to see, and more keeps dropping everyday...i don tire 😩

DirectorMakins:
I’m currently watching The Bridge. 18minutes short film

This is an unusual story about a young man who decided to burn a bridge and throw everyone under the bus because he thinks he’s going to get a better life abroad. Link to see the film below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOaABg4tw1c&feature=youtu.be

Short films are such a beautiful niche of films in that, the have such a little time to wow you with thier brilliance and so, it's always straight to the point.

The massage of this is well received, loved it.

There is room for improvements but you sir have rocked my day 👏🏿✨

abduleez1:
Nice seeing Nigerian box office managing well despite the economic challenges.

Brotherly, If there is one thing, i can't trust Nigerians with is data and numbers.

Cuz i have contacts in the cinema chain quoted and he steady complains about how low patronage and high cost of business is ruining their profit margin. They can barley fill a 500 cinema hall to half, on a good day. A sharp turn of how quickly movies quickly become available on VOD, has further dwindled business. I think i have told you of how my guy went to see Dune Part 2, at prime time, and he was the only one in the freaking hall.

Except they are telling me, Pop corn sales, confectionaries, drinks and what not are included in this metrics, that's the only way i will take these figures seriously cuz according to my contact, that's the main thing keeping them busy and afloat.

On the subject of, If HBO makes good mini series.

And i am here to categorically state that, they birthed this genre of series.

If you hear HBO and mini series in the same sentence, just know, it's going to be a banger, They hardly ever miss.

Next time you see an HBO produced mini series, don't think, don't doubt....Just watch ⭐👍🏿

geezyk:
Wow! I'm surprised you just watched Chernobyl.

lol why are you surprised? I have had it even since it dropped tho, but it is stored in a secondary drive, which i really go to, and just go there once in a while to pull up classics like this.

Plus i am a big believer of letting potential banger tv shows/movies marinate long enough before i see them, heightens my appetite for it, the longer it stays.

It was November, then, December, Then March, now July??. Very very unserious people.

abduleez1:
Yep, her Disney beginning is a huge plus.
She never too impress me with acting skills and variety but she dey my watchlist of observation.

Man I don't know about Tom Holland cos their was a time especially last year everyday na Tom Holland news I dey see for my Twitter feed that it got annoying sef. Any new movie role for a iconic character and ppl be fan-casting all the time.
Guess he fell off.

The way the guy take loose steam dey surprise me sef. These new youngins don steal him thunder.

Make Tom Holland fire him agent tbh. He clearly has the talent. I know he did take a year of acting last year though because of the physiological tow his last role had on him.

abduleez1:
Lol, na so e take bad?? 👀👀

lol not bad per se but not necessarily good.. it's just there and you won't be missing anything if you don't see it and considering how well it was talked about, i excepted more.

abduleez1:
Yeah, I noticed too HBO has got clean AF production value. That's why one gets easily addicted to their craft.

On Nuclear warheads, Iran doesn't have its own atomic weapons yet. Reason why Israel is hell bent on destroying their nuclear program before that weapon surfaces. If not Israel won't be so ballsy attacking Iran military installations.
Yep, Russia has about 10,000 if not increased to 15k now. And China is rapidly increasing theirs.
As for use, I doubt any country will be stupid enough to use it on anyone no matter the situation. Iran and N. Korea might be fickle but I doubt their leaders are crazy enough to use a nuke on someone. It's basically asking for non existence in this realm. The only ones I believe can effectively use nukes with lesser catastrophic blowouts is the likes of Russia and US with the capability of low yield atomic bombs. It can be tactically used for a smaller target area compared to conventional standard atomic bombs.


Lmfao on Nigeria and it's Kainji Dam. 😂😂 Honestly I don't know when these govt personnel decides to be serious with our power. For me I might say the big push on building roads and rail should be focused more on the grid electricity and energy diversification/penetration into gas (both for cooking, transportation and industrial).
I still somewhat don't understand why Nigeria doesn't put much value on Solar energy in large capacity. Cos the way I see solar panels being way cheaper due to Chinese overcapacity in the news everyday makes me wonder if it is somewhat even cheaper to build and maintain than our hydro electric dams. And it most likely would be faster to set up.

Okay Good. As long as no nobody is trigger happy to nuke anybody or thing, I'm good


Yess! Solar Energy seems like the best possibility for better and stable power solution here, most especially because we are in a tropical zone but as usual the government is not proactive. We still rely on structures built years ago for power. To put things in perspective, China's average power production is currently about 600 million terawatts whilst we, this hell hole of a country produces, a meagre 5000 megawatts, meaning, China produces about 118 million times the power we produce, and that 5000 megawatts is on a good day on cuz most times it drops, that's the amount of power that the government expects about 200m plus people to use to progress 😩. The funny thing is that Most of China's power is generated from coal, which we have abundantly here, infact go to some places in Enugu, before you dig 3ft, you are already swimming in coal!, but we have bums as leaders.

Without constant Power, you can't grow a "genuine wealthy" economy, it is simply not possible. During my post grad, my food chemistry Professor used to tell us, how he kept meat samples at a particular subzero temperature at a lab in Michigan state University, and he went back years after, the meat samples were still intact years after, just like he had left them!, in contrast, i kept my research samples in my department's lab freezer, only to come back to spoilt samples, some few weeks after because no constant power and the gen they have can't power the freezer.

Bro, I can't stress it enough, i genuinely hate it here 😩😭.

abduleez1:
Lol, it's not a simple answer from me too. Same as you I still struggle at times to see the massive hype around her. I initially was indifferent to her and her acting at first with the Spidey films but her acting performance in EUPHORIA was more than enough to make me a fan cos that project is very dear to me and I have a soft spot for almost all the cast of that TV show and root for them. That's why I really like Sydney Sweeney who played "Cassie", and Jacob Elordi as "Nate". One of the best cast assembly I've seen in recent television, even impressive for a teenager or college themed show. So I love keeping tabs on most of them career journeys. There's the other one also seemingly doing well for themselves — Hunter Schafer.

I guess more of her hype come from her mostly Gen Z fandom. And you know that demography can be pretty loud and everywhere. Easiest answer as per as a Nigerian na "she just get grace". I also haven't even seen enough of her movies asides Spiderman and Dune. She's loveable I think and being the partner of Tom Holland is also a big flex.

I think the Emmy win she got with Euphoria elevated her star power but brotherly, i no go lie, i never see wentin the babe dey act.

Tom Holland that is even struggling to get roles now? I don't think that is even a flex, if for anything, she's the one contributing to Tom Holland's smallie star power.

I think Genz that knew her from her Disney days, forms the bulk of her fans now.
