Kunle Afolayan........These movies are very much on point cos I've seen quite a number of them

What of the meeting

where is 'the meeting'...thank god have watch last flight to abuja,return of jenifa and mr.and mrs...they are all intresting.

The highest is a meagre 137,200,000 million naira?
When Kristen Stewart was paid 500,000 dollars by a fan just to spend 15mins with her at madison square garden?

Wow!

i'm more of a reader

i av seen half of a yellow sun, but its wasn't depicted well. I didn't see it thru to the end. When i read the book, i was awed 'coz of ow i imagine d whole tin in my head. The movie was not up to what i expected. I would just stick to my reading. #teamnaijafilmneverreach
