‘The Bling Lagosians’ is now streaming on Netflix — here are 5 other Nigerian movies coming next week
- Another Nigerian movie is currently available on Netflix.
- Directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters, it depicts the glamorous, over the top Lagos lifestyle in all its glory.
- The cast includes names like Mona Lisa Chinda, Jide Kosoko, Gbenga Titiloye, Elvina Ibru, Helen Paul, Osas Ighodaro Ajibade, Alex Ekubo, Toyin Abraham and former Big brother Housemates, Bisola and Bambam
Last week, it was “The Figurine (Araromire)” by Kunle Afolayan, this time, it's “The Bling Lagosians,” a 2019 move directed by Bolanle Austen-Peters which started streaming today, October 11, 2019.
The movie follows an affluent, flamboyant, over the top family, the Holloways, living in Lagos. Despite not being as wealthy as they used to be, the family struggles to hold on to their past glory even if it means living in debt.
Shedding some light on the movie, Peters said, “In doing the Bling Lagosians, I observed certain things in our society and I decided to tell the story, a relatable story, that people would see and recognise this is the real us. This story is like a mirror, so we can look at ourselves in a mirror and see the flaws. This is a story of deceit, lust, love, greed, passion, it’s a story of excess’ but with redeeming qualities.”
The movie features Nollywood stars like Mona Lisa Chinda, Jide Kosoko, Gbenga Titiloye, Elvina Ibru, Helen Paul, Osas Ighodaro Ajibade, Alex Ekubo, Toyin Abraham and former Big Brother housemates, Bisola and Bambam.
Since its release in Nigerian cinemas in June 2019, the film has made over N120 million, making it the ninth highest-grossing Nigerian film of all time.
It has also been nominated for the 2019 City People Movie Award for Best Movie of the Year (English).

Even with the signing of the Nigerian Oil and Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act of 2010, many Nigerian investors still exploit the old loopholes in the system to take advantage of this law.
Many Nigerians still parade foreign-owned companies as local entities to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the NOGICD Act at the detriment of the Nigerian economy.
LADOL, for instance, prides itself as a local company and is reaping the huge benefits that accrue to local companies in Nigeria but its shareholding structure appears to question this claim.
It is not an offence for foreign companies to operate in Nigeria.
After all, President Muhammadu Buhari has travelled all over the world to woo foreign investors to come into Nigeria and harness the investment opportunities his administration has created.
Also, the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has also made tremendous efforts to improve Nigeria’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business to attract foreign companies.
Buhari and Osinbajo’s efforts have paid off by attracting many foreign companies and investments since 2015.
All these investments by foreign companies operating in Nigeria have provided employment for Nigerians and helped to grow the Nigerian economy.
The Nigerian government has also provided benefits for these foreign companies to thrive.
But it is worrisome when some foreign-owned companies parade themselves as local companies because they shortchange both the Nigerian economy and truly Nigerian companies.
Foreign-owned companies, which should enjoy the benefits provided by the Nigerian government for foreign companies have claimed to be local companies to enjoy the benefits in the NOGICD Act.
A peep into the shareholding structure of LADOL, for instance, reveals that the ownership is foreign-dominated because this conglomerate, which claims to be a bona fide Nigerian company, has its substantial 84 per cent shares held by foreign companies.
The two foreign companies that own the 84 per cent stake in LADOL are Sable Offshore Investment Limited, registered in British Virgin Island, and Alsba Ventures, also registered in the British Virgin Island.
While Sable Offshore Investment Limited has 53 per cent stake in LADOL, Alsba Ventures Group has 31 per cent.
When two foreign companies establish a company in Nigeria, the company can be rightly regarded as a foreign company.
So, substantially, and legally too, it can be argued that LADOL is a British Virgin Island company and not a Nigerian indigenous company because it is owned by entities registered in British Virgin island.
If British Virgin Island companies owned by Nigerians establish a company in Nigeria, the company is not a truly Nigerian company because it is owned by foreign companies.
When Nigerians establish companies in British Virgin Island and use these companies to set up a company in Nigeria, their motive becomes questionable and suspicious.
The question is: Why did they not set up the company in Nigeria instead of setting up companies in foreign countries and using these foreign companies to set up a company in Nigeria? What is their motive?
What are they trying to dodge? Which rules are they trying to circumvent?
It is also well known all over the world that British Virgin Island is a tax haven where companies do not pay tax.
These companies are shell companies and regulators and anti-corruption agencies in most countries have had cause to probe the business activities of these companies.
Despite this obviously foreign ownership structure, LADOL is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the opportunities provided in the NOGICD Act.
Indeed, the company has benefited enormously from the local content policy in the oil and gas sector.
The opportunities and benefits LADOL have enjoyed are clearly meant for Nigerian companies. But is it truly a Nigerian company?
Many people have called on the government regulators to probe the ownership structure of LADOL to ascertain if it is truly a Nigerian company.
The earlier this is done the better for the Nigerian economy.
I already told you this yesterday's night
You are the one displaying your pettiness all over the internet out of bitterness and jealousy
Guardian is an IPOB newspaper and they are not even ashamed to display their bigotry.
As Long as LADOL was founded by a Nigerian, being manage by a Nigerian and it is base in Nigeria it is a Nigerian Company.
LADOL is a Nigerian company because it was established by a Nigerian but the majority of investors might be foreigners.
Many Nigerians established businesses and startup seek for funds and investment outside the country because Nigerians investment is not enough.
Nigeria currently has the highest number of foreigners who have been sentenced to death in Malaysia.
A new report by Amnesty International, a human rights organisation, has revealed that 119 Nigerians are currently on death row in Malaysia. The death penalty is currently retained as the punishment for 33 offences in the Asian country and is mandatory for 12 of these, according to the report, "Fatally flawed: Why Malaysia must abolish the death penalty".
As of February 2019, Amnesty reported, a total of 1,281 people were on death row in Malaysia, including 568 (44%) foreign nationals.
Of these foreign nationals, 21% are Nigerians, with others from Indonesia (16%), Iran (15%), India (10%), Philippines (8%) and Thailand (6%) and other countries.
73% of the total 1,281 inmates on death row were convicted for drug trafficking, while 25% were convicted for murder. The remaining were convicted for offences related to the use of firearms, robbery, and waging war against the King or Ruler of a State.
Amnesty's report showed that those on death row for drug trafficking were frequently convicted after they were found in possession of and transporting relatively small quantities of drugs without having committed or being involved in any form of violence.
They are also classified as people at the low-end of the drug chain (drug couriers) who often claim to have been tricked, lured, or forced into the drug trade.
In its report, Amnesty documented many violations of international human rights law and standards associated with the use of the death penalty in Malaysia.
"Our research found a pattern of unfair trials and secretive hangings that itself spoke volumes. From allegations of torture and other ill-treatment to an opaque pardons process, it's clear the death penalty is a stain on Malaysia's criminal justice system," said Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu, Executive Director of Amnesty International Malaysia.
In July 2018, the Malaysian government established a moratorium on executions, a temporary prohibition that means the convicts won't have their sentences carried out.
Even though the government previously committed to a full abolition of the death penalty, it is expected to soon table legislation in the Malaysian Parliament that'll remove the mandatory death penalty for only 11 offences.
Amnesty called on the government to completely abolish the death penalty for all crimes and review all cases where people have been sentenced to death, with a view to commuting the sentences.
"Malaysia has a golden chance to break with decades of cruelty and injustice, disproportionately inflicted on some of the most marginalised," said Kaliemuthu.

Arysexy: Where is d idiot arguing with me that Anambra has more building collapse on the thread with controlled demolition of a storey building on a flood Channel.
U claimed Anambra builders use low quality materials to build, even when I disagreed with Ur attempt to blackmail ndi Anambra, citing Onitsha with multi 5 - storey buildings that stood the test of time yet u kept arguing blindly.
What do u have to say now about Lagos known for frequent collapse, especially Lagos island?
The truth shall set you free
The collapse in Lagos is not as frequent as Anambra though
At least three news of collapse in Anambra before Lagos collapse
