₦airaland Forum

This ebola palaver is a good example of why this thread needs to be on frontpage.

Q: What's your best moment ever on nairaland?

A: Well, I won't particularly point to one moment. First one, when my short film scripts 'Paranoia' and 'Nigerian Horror Story' made frontpage and received positive and encouraging words.
Second one, when I was neck deep in the big brother thread last year, ardently supporting Dillish, who eventually won!
Third one, those dayz in family section when chaircover, debrief08 etc were quite active. The section has been turned into a male vs female abode now.

homesteady: Kano is just a useless place! Big for nothing!
Other big cities are watching half of a yellow sun now, kano have not even dreamt of building a cinema! Mtcheew!

Awww...sorry oh.

Just saw the movie at the cinema. ..

Had some great moments but didn't wow me as a whole.

The acting was quite good, especially the lady that played Kainene I think. ...or maybe it's the character sha. But I found the character a bit haunting due to where the film ended.

Thandie Newton tried as Olanna and I was impressed with the Nigerian accent Chiwetel put on.

Onyeka Onwenu was okay, but not a character we've not seen before.

Cinematography was good too.

My favourite great moment sha was at the airport. We were made to quickly connect with this officer that works there (I think his name is Nnaemeka), before the hausa soldiers came and shot him first. There was the shock value it had after we've just been introduced to the character that seemed interesting.

Kudos to Biyi Bamidele though.

Channels TV.

@ishilove and ghostofsparta

You guys have spoken well. I hope Nigerians learn to be serious when there is need for it.

Happy birthday bro! Best wishes in life endeavours.

speedyboi: What's this about exactly? Durban film festival.... What's that? Nollywood films screen in much bigger festivals, who cares what South Africans think? They've always been anti-Nigeria, so to hell.

And we Nigerians; in our eyes (in all aspects of life), every kid is the best in the world, except ours. Who've bothered to know what's going on in SA film industry right now? Or what South Africans actually think about their films?

Talk of consistency, why didn't they keep winning oscars after Totsi? Talk about the Oscar sef, They won Oscar once and so effing what?!!! That's 10 years ago, get over it already! Look around, nothing really changed after Totsi.

Not one single Bollywood film has ever won an Oscar, yet Indians are not killing themselves over it. They are not using Oscar to measure their success, infact they don't care about it! Yet, everyone around the world will pick bollywood then take many many steps before even thinking of recognizing our almighty Oscar winning SA industry.

Bottomline is; i don't envy SA cinema! I don't wish Nollywood to be in its shoes. I don't want Nollywood to start making propanga-ridden western stereotypical films, just to attract western audience. That's what SA is doing and most South Africans bash their filmmakers for that and more. Most even use Nigeria as an example for their filmmakers. I don't want an industry without self esteem. I don't care if we keep producing crap, as long as we don't loose ourselves or start making some "shitty Tarzan-like" films. I'm comfortable with Nollywood depicting the typical Nigerian world and i even want them to up that "hip" style, a big NO to some "pity party" films! No way!

I'm sure the day Bollywood will start getting Oscar is when they start making "slum dog nonsense" kinda films where they'll depict some indians struggling to make it. That's the Oscar spirit; if it ain't hollywood, then don't depict a civilized citylife of your country, else no Oscar for you. What they want are films with strong "messages". You know what the message is .

Am....am I dreaming

Speedyboi is back?

*Mouths 'Oh my God' *

OCTAVO: His wife is beautiful...

This.

And Sammy's chinese name is Ug Lee.

VillageBoi: Na only 'lol' you fit tok?

Yes naa.

Lol

VillageBoi: Of course you will see me in real life. There's a whole bunch of you guys on NL I can't wait to meet. Damn, that'll be crazy fun.

Lol

VillageBoi: People can do things 'consistently' abi we dey fear? Willingness to learn won't get us there but a willingness to apply what we have learnt will.

Hmmmmm....no be say we dey fear joor. But I know getting it RIGHT consistently isn't piece of cake. Doing things WRONGLY consistently is quite easy though.

Well yeah, applying things we've learnt. Mr Villageboi...I duff my hat. I hope to see you in real lyf someday.

VillageBoi: Not just getting it right but getting it right CONSISTENTLY... one off flukes are not enough.

Come oh, na right hook abi left hook

Getting it right CONSISTENTLY no easy oh...but persistence with willingness to learn should get us there.

Lol...right hook ko, front hook ni. Smh.

Idrismusty97: They are your leaders so you have to be concerned. Even if it doesn't put money in your pocket they can make decisions that can affect your life tremendously. In some case when they switched, they carry the whole state along. The problem with most of us is that we are apolitical. We should be interested in politics even if it isn't for monetary purpose. A decision from some clueless one can affect your life forever. If it were celebrities then to hell with them! So what if Justin beiber got punched? Or some musician got married? That is what we shouldn't be concerned of. They are thousands of miles away from me, They are not assuming any leadership role and their decisions can never never ever affect my life so why should i care?

You've said it all. Solid response.

VillageBoi: Diaris God o!!

There's God indeed. All these threads that you're sharing will answer.

Nollywood has to get it right sooner than later o.
