Finally watched Black Widow yesterday and all I've got to say is, between Capitan Marvel and Black Widow, I don't know which one is worse.


I expected so much from BW because I'm a big fan of Disney plus the massive success of MCU over the years. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The movie was terrible. Simply put.

Hanibbal:
Adeboye has already condemned himself the day he lied that T.B Joshua wanted to kill him. He has already condemned himself the day he said nobody would make heaven if they don't tithe. Even if truly Adeboye sent this letter it is of no use. The person you didn't identify with when he was alive the person you lied against saying he wanted to kill you. The person you criticized when he was alive. Adeboye should pocket his condolence and swallow his hypocrisy. No body is buying that not even his personality cult who chase him and crawl to his feet shouting Daddy G. O.

Hanibbal:
Don't mind that hypocrite called Adeboye. I don't believe the letter too.

MadamVanessa:
Fake




Adeboye that was crying on live television how TB Joshua wanted to killed him can never send any condolence.

Romanoff:
That's why I'm saying if the man is insisting he won't foot their bills cause they don't live with him, then the couple should double their hustle and stop complaining. They knew what they signed up for.

Hustle and care for the kids yourself. And if you want child support so bad, take it to court.

Multiple award winning and top earning Donnie Yen? Or another Donnie Yen?

The House of Representatives on Thursday rejected a motion to declare Bauchi State an oil-producing state.

A member from Bauchi State, Yakubu Abdullahi, moved the motion for the federal government to declare the state an oil producer and extend the 13 per cent derivation to it.

Mr Abdullahi argued that “oil exploration in Bauchi State commenced in 2018 and up till today it is still ongoing but no official report on whether the exercise is a success or not.”

He added, “In 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari flags off the Spud-In of Kolmani River II well Drilling in Bauchi State and directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to extend its exploration to six basins in the Country.

“Any community from whose location oil is
discovered and or produced is entitled to several extra revenues which is special attention for the sake of its environment, infrastructure and health impact.”

Mr Abdulllahi prayed that the House should mandate the Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream) to invite the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation to give comprehensive representation on the level of work in the oil exploration currently undertaken in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State and the successes recorded.
The motion was not debated, but when it was put to vote by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, the “nays” had it.

Mr Gbajabiamila, who appeared not to be sure, put the motion to question again and there was a loud “nay.”

The motion was put to vote for the a third time and again, the chorus of “nays” was very loud.

Who doesn’t love a franchise? Except when it gets tarnished and sullied, of course.

Here are 11 movies that did their franchise no good:


A Good Day to Die Hard

https://i2.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/A-Good-Day-to-Die-Hard.jpg

For those who know (and love) Andy Samberg’s character in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine series, they’ll know our fictional Jake Peralta is obsessed with the Die Hard movies (he once travelled to Canada to get a copy of the first film because there was a rumour it had better sound quality). But even he knew ‘Die Hard 5’ was a franchise bust.

Frankly, A Good Day to Die Hard ticked all the boxes of a franchise on its last legs: weak plot, terrible characters, cliches, and a reliance on the goodwill the franchise had the earned in the past. A let down, and a franchise ruining pic, all in one.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

https://i1.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-Franchise.jpg

If you were a cynic, you’d say the film that ruined the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was the one that came right after the first. Was one more than enough? But to do away with the overt cynicism, the second and third films still had a sense of self and whatnot.

The problem came with Film Number Four. On Stranger Tides saw this franchise having to pick up its pieces and deal with the absence of key cast members in Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley (even Bill Nighy was gone). This movie tried its hand with Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane among the new faces to the franchise… it didn’t work.

Surely, they wouldn’t have done a fifth one or more after that .

Blade: Trinity

https://i1.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Blade-Trinity.jpg

Mahershala Ali has signed up to be Blade in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe calendar. But while Ali has some
giant Wesley Snipes-shaped shoes to fill, his first task would be writing the last Blade action in our memories.

For all the goodwill the Blade movies had, they started to go downhill after the first film. And if Blade II dipped in quality,
Blade: Trinity was the real kicker that made us eager to bid it goodbye. A villain that displayed such weakness despite
being touted as the big bad in the franchise was only one of many things that disappointed.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

https://i2.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Age-of-Extinction.jpg

Like Pirates of the Caribbean, the Transformers franchise was facing big changes going into its fourth film. By the
third film, Dark of the Moon , things had started to look dreary; Megan Fox left the franchise, and Rosie Huntington-
Whiteley came in.

Then by the fourth film, main man Shia Leboeuf was also gone. But it wasn’t just that Transformers had very much
(sorry about this), transformed by Age of Extinction. It was also that the change was bad. Our new villain Lockdown had a cool name, but that was that. There was the
disappointing Last Knight to come in 2017, but by then, this franchise was all but done.

Fantastic Four

https://i0.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Fantastic-Four-franchise.jpg

Let’s be honest, the original Fantastic Four films of the 2000s were not that great. It’s literally the kind of franchise that you hope the MCU reboots and jolts it to life. So, it
would take something pretty bad to be the film that even sullies that. Enter, a first reboot.

The Fantastic Four film in 2015 had Miles Teller (beloved from Whiplash), Jamie Bell (beloved from Snowpiercer and being Tintin), Kate Mara (House of Cards ), and the beloved Michael B. Jordan. Should make for at least a beloved movie, right? Wrong. Not only was this a cliched rehash of the first film, every other element also failed. It felt an attempt at modernisation of a franchise gone badly wrong.

Fast & Furious 6

https://i1.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Furious-6.jpg

The Fast & Furious franchise will run for two more films, after its ninth instalment was released three weeks ago.

Only a die-hard cut-me-and-I-bleed-Fast-saga fan will fail to recognise that this franchise is running on fumes (pun intended), and relying on a lot of cinematic buzz and goodwill.

Frankly, the Fast saga was done a while ago. Fast & Furious 6, in 2013, was when this franchise started to change itself;
suddenly we went from chaotic people with fast cars causing trouble to them being heroes saving the world. The whole point of it got lost here, and the fact that it has produced three more films since is astounding.

Terminator: Genysis

https://i2.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Terminator-Franchise.jpg

Did anyone feel any sense of excitement when Genysis dropped in 2015? By the third Terminator movie, Rise of the
Machines , this franchise was already scrambling. And when Salvation happened with Christian Bale in 2009, we were
begging it to stop.

Our scepticism and pessimism proved right when Genysis came along and, despite being something of a soft reboot,
sealed the franchise’s coffin. Not that it prevented us from getting another in 2019, mind.

007: Die Another Day

https://i1.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Die-Another-Day.jpg

The 007 franchise is a tricky one. It’s the kind that, thanks to its constant change of actors donning the James Bond mantra, will have its nadirs and apexes. There have
probably been a few times when the franchise was sullied, and then saved.

For the former, one of those times was certainly Pierce Brosnan’s last act as our alluring assassin. Die Another Day was an impressive entry into the major film world for Rosamund Pike, but asides that, there was little else to write home about.
Thankfully, its next instalment, with a new
face, would jolt it back to life.

Spider-Man 3

https://i0.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Spider-Man-3.jpg

The third Spider-Man movie from Sam Raimi had arguably its best villain . In the sense that Venom was as much Peter
Parker as it was Eddie Brock, Parker’s co-worker/competition, it worked.

But other than that, little else did. If the reflection of Venom was good, the act wasn’t. And at this point, even Tobey
Maguire didn’t seem arsed about the role, like everyone else, frankly.

Charlie’s Angels

https://i2.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Charlies-Angel-Franchise.jpg

After Full Throttle in 2003 proved to be a bust, the Charlie’s Angels franchise had two options: call it, or try to jolt it back to life. For a while, it looked like they settled with Option A, which seemed like smart call.

But 16 years later, they chose Option B, which, frankly, made Option A seem like an even smarter call. Charlie’s Angels in 2019 tried to be fun, and to an extent, it was. But it was also so shallow and desperate that you knew that this has to be the final nail in the coffin for the franchise.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor

https://i2.wp.com/sodasandpopcorn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/The-Mummy-Franchise-1.jpg

The elephant in the room with this franchise and the third film is that; there was no Rachel Weisz. Weisz refused to return for the third film due to scripting issues, and while a replacement for her wasn’t a bad idea, it showed a franchise that was down in the dumps. And the film itself cemented that.

Perhaps what’s makes this franchise all the more galling is that this third film mishap, and the even more horrendous
failure in 2017, left the first two films as the only good ones.
And given that the second film was basically a semi-imitation of the first, this is a franchise not judged kindly by history.

Taniaa:
see your mouth

MadamExcellency:
Stop all these nonsense. How many of these GOs and men of God did Pastor T.B. Joshua visited when he was alife?

As par CAN and PFN, Synagogue of All Nations weren't a member neither did T.B. Joshua tried to answer simple Christian doctrinal teachings on his conversation such as:

When were you converted? He said from the mothers womb. This is against biblical teaching that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

He was asked, who was his mentor in Christ? None

What of who baptized him? No answer.

Prophet T.B. Joshua failed to reveal his true colors hence blame nobody.

Now, let contrast him with Pastor W. F. Kumuyi who isn't a registered member of CAN or PFN but was listed by both CAN and PFN as member. Why? He was a former member of Celestial Church, got converted in Apostolic Faith and was a loyal worker until he founded Deeper Christian Life Ministry.

Even after opening his own Church, he was invited to preach at Celestial Church and some other Christian denominations which he obliged.

Moreover, in most of his pan Nigeria crusades, they are coordinated with CAN and PFN where Deeper Life presence is not profound.

So, don't blame anybody. The question about Prophet T.B. Joshua ministry is still a mystery.

NovusHomo:
Who cares? He was fuc-*+# his female congregants even though he was married. That puts him in my "bad" book.
