Palehair:
E shock me sef but lack of punctuations is the key for all these forums but surprisingly, it doesn't work for all

pu7pl3:
Enjoy your win oh but no cap, in the last 3 years how many times you done beat me? Make we no turn this place to football thread oh. Me and you who dey use Ojoro win match abi you dey whine?

Lol, I'm even surprised some people finding it surprising. White man no true true dey baff before na.

Especially those environmentalist purists, saving water for humanity. Na every 3 days them day baff. Some dey say dey go one week without bathing if them dey house and ain't going nowhere.
White man no dey scrub body before sef.

There's one Twitter thread I enter earlier this year or so. And white people wanted to honestly know if the talk amongst blacks about their bodies smelling was true.
Dem shock when many black people dey confess say their white friends smells like pennies under the rain. Or smell like puppies when their skin gets wet or in swimming pools.
Although it was connected to their blood sugar levels.

"Hijack'93" (2024)

Everyone involved in this mess should be arrested: the cast, the director, the producer, the extras, even the Netflix execs who okayed it… I mean everybody!



Forgive the long review, but it comes from a place of intense anger. 😩

When the trailer first came out, we thought the only issue might be the wrong use of props. But after watching the actual movie, it’s clear that was just a small part of the problem.

Without mincing words, this might be the worst Nollywood flick I’ve seen in a long while. This hogwash has set the industry back by at least 10 years… it’s absolutely irredeemable.

The plot was a madhouse: zero coherence, zero structure, zero character development. It felt like they were just throwing random scenes in, hoping something would stick and none of it did. Clearly, no one in the writers’ room was thinking straight. There’s even a scene where the supposed Nigerian special forces try to rescue a Chinese diplomat's son from the hijacked plane by sending him poisoned food so he’ll get sick. When he’s taken off the plane, they plan to give him an antidote. Yes, they actually acted out this insane idea 😭😭

The use of modern props stripped the movie of any 1993 ambience, it was the most modern-looking “period” flick ever. Without the title, you’d think this adapted event happened last year.

The background story wasn’t engaging enough to justify an adaptation imo. Given that Nigeria barely keeps records, they were working with a topic that had very few documented firsthand details; of course they’d run into plot holes.

The plot follows four supposedly oppressed youths who want to “save” Nigeria from a corrupt government. So, they’re somehow convinced to hijack a plane and divert it to Frankfurt so they can start new lives. How does that fight against a bad government? To make things worse, the movie paints these characters as heroes.

There were so many random, unexplained events, and it seemed like they just expected viewers to connect dots that didn’t even exist. They had the audacity to throw in a Yoruba vs. Igbo tribal war trope for no apparent reason, and it was a cringe fest. That popular fair-skinned guy from Twitter played one of the hijackers, and he would randomly burst into the cabin with a gallon of fuel, threatening to douse everyone, yet there’s zero explanation of how the fuel got onto the plane. The whole thing was so chaotic.

Like 30 mins to the end, it didn't even care what happened, didn't care for the hijackers, i didn't care for the hostages, that's how little they sold the characters and story to me. I just kept it as BG noise and started streaming El Çlassico on another device, imagine missing Barça Youngins, pasting Madrid, 4 kolo in their own backyard? E for too pain me 😭, as that was an all timer El Çlassico, it hasn't been that good since Messi and CR7 used to go band for band.

Normally, everyone involved in this hogwash supposed to dey sleep cell by now😩. Save your sanity and avoid this flick at all costs. It’s a terrible example of where the industry should not be headed.

2/10.

You think I actually believe that....lol.

Anything she says na her palava. Her numerous projects year in year out just interests me.
She might actually like working with new people and whatnot or love to think herself as a philanthropist, we all know they don't do this for their magnanimity.

She's getting close to the tail end of her career, there's nothing wrong in securing her future.

Anyway I watched Babygirl in TIFF. Her bo*bs are still standing and she still has bangable a*s

You mean am..... Höly shït!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

A Masterpiece awaits then. I'll be there no matter what!!

Ishilove:
This is disturbing 🤮😩

Illusioneffect:
From your explanation it's like the writers and directors have never entered a plane or know how a heist or hijack happens. Normally, writers research for months just to get a good script but it's like they just dreamed up the story

Did someone say MILF? When is the date? make I circle am for calendar.
Baba name na Dickinson so I wouldn't expect less.

Not even entering plane per say, as they surprisingly nailed the plane scene 100% but the screenplay didn't just work.

Speak_No_Evil_......

Illusioneffect:
This movie shouldn't be classified as horror in my opinion

Illusioneffect:
If they nailed the plane scene. How the hell did they sneak in a gallon of gas into a plane. Do you know the amount of routine checks airplanes go through in every country not to talk of guns? Did they have an insider helping them? If they did, how did this insider get through PSA to even sneak in even a pen to a loaded airplane.
Also how did the screenwriters believe it's a smart move to write characters that think an airplane would not be gunned down in another country's airspace if they think it's at risk to affect their own civilians?
They may only have nailed the aesthetics of a plane but not its functionality

"Tom Holland is set for a packed schedule next year, with commitments to filming two Marvel projects alongside a role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming mystery film. In a surprising announcement, Sony has slated Spider-Man 4 for release on July 24, 2026, positioning it just a week after Nolan’s anticipated project 🕸"

You go allow am rest now abi?

You go allow am rest now abi?

abduleez1:
Which rest? Films that ain't coming out anytime soon. The earliest movie there is 2026. And half the projects are still in devt phase.

Him mates like Austin Butler, Paul Mescal, Timothee Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, how many movies and top directors them don work with the last two years and upcoming projects??

So until then, the jury is still out on him. He doesn't even have the range or can lace the shoes of any of those actors mentioned up there.
Even him own wife don get one movie this year already and multiple projects lined up since when both of them featured last in his Spidey movie.
So like I said, he's still saved by MCU.
