Jade William: LMAO.Hot Yams indeed.Exactly my opinion.I didn't digged d film.

I don't knw if its because d so-called Olivia Pope is petite or because d president guy is dull lookin&d character they used him 2play; d president role didn't fit him.Look at d guy dat played President Palmer in 24.

Then d guy dat is his chief of staff abi PA;I'm used 2seein him play roles as dundy lik in Greys Anatomy,he was Meridith's dundy-father then in Prison Break,he was d Vice President's husbnd dat was secluded abi under house arrest who later committed suicide.Inshort d whole characters in dat Scandal??
D one annoyin me is d hype abt d president&Olivia Pope's lame r/shp.

Damn! You hit the nail on the head! Perfect comment.

I just finished the season 1 of this series. Is the OP a wizard? His opinion about the series kinda coincides with mine. Not interested in seeing season 2. I've had enough of the Olivia Pope-gives-Mr President-bedmatic-action-'cos-she's-his- true-love story.

And why do most of the characters speak very fast as if they have hot yams in their mouths? To depict events are fast-paced? Puullleeeaassee!!!!

Next thread!!

Have you taken your drug today?

^^^^^ Hmmm.

In my humble opinion, Jesus existed before Abraham. I even believe it was Jesus (in form of Melchizedek) that Abraham paid his tithe to in the Old Testament.

joeydozzy: "For you to love the big screen and clearly haven't watched homeland means you don't fancy small screen"
This will be better understood

Okay.

joeydozzy: For you to love the big screen and clearly haven't watched homeland means you don't fancy tv series

I lie?

You kinda lied.

I just didn't feel like watching it till days ago. I prefer comedies (for series) like Big Bang Theory, Glee, Ugly Betty, Modern Family to serious dramas (don't know why ).

Well, I'm now watching it sha...so, enough with the crucifixion But I will choose movies anyday over TV. And I think TV is referred to as 'small screen'...so, your statement of 'for me to love the BIG SCREEN and haven't watched Homeland' is not correct sir. I stand to be corrected though.

VillageBoi: No mind them. Small by small they go learn good things.

I am sure you were high when you typed this comment.

VillageBoi: ^ ^ ^
Our guy is on a Homeland marathon... I beg hurry up and catch up with the fans

Lol. So you too be Homeland fan... I will soon catch up sir.

Claire Danes gave a solid performance as ' bipolar Carrie' in that series....at least. ..so far.

@OP....This is a very nice topic! But don't be disappointed, many NLers won't be interested in a brain-tasking thread like this where unmeaningful contributions can quickly be pointed out unlike threads on celebrities' marriage, fashion style, secret lives, scandals and music videos where even the dumbest person can destructively criticise with cynic comments just to 'announce' him or herself on NL.

So, what is the way forward? These are my suggestions:

1. Nigerians have a bad orientation as regards most things that pertain to education. They would rather allow a gifted child waste some years in a tertiary institution just because we are certificate-obsessed in this country. Tertiary education shouldn't be meant for everybody! It's not every child that has the intellectual capacity/ interest/passion to go into courses that require University education. After secondary school level, wards should be given the opportunity to diversify. Vocational training should be encouraged and not looked upon with disdain. Then, the academically inclined people who also have passion for research would be the ones gracing the four walls of our tertiary institutions; dexterous children can learn vocational skills and become experts; talented ones can go to music and film schools etc. The government should also organise various symposia and programmes to reorientate the populace so those that didn't attend a tertiary institution are not frowned upon. Then, let's see if those that apply for UME and so on won't reduce. The desperation to cut corners just to get an admission would be reduced since we are now aware that academics is not the only 'way'.

2. I will still emphasize on the reorientation again of Nigerians towards the issues of University and Polytechnics. The latter shouldn't be treated as an inferior learning centre to the former. Employers should please take note.

3. Scholarships should be used to encourage students interested in the academic field especially the indigent ones. And some specific disciplines should be encouraged for a positive result on the macroeconomic level. The government constantly preaches that youths should go into agriculture, yet, there are no 'incentives' in place to even encourage those that are studying agriculture-related courses in schools. Most agric students are made to feel inferior to students of 'professional courses' whereas they should be encouraged so they can develop the little they learn into solid agricultural practice. Educational shows should be equally encouraged. I am not anti-entertainment, but most of the shows/competitions that grace our screens are singing and talent shows. Educational shows like the Zain Africa Challenge should be encouraged.

4. Needless to say, lecturers and teachers in all educational levels (not just those that have a union called ASUU, ASUP etc.) should be 'treated well' in terms of payment but still, money shouldn't be the main driving force of an individual that wants to devote a portion ot his or her life to passing knowledge to young, brilliant minds and raising world leaders. It should be passion and the fulfillment enjoyed in doing what the person loves. Therefore, teachers and lecturers should be seriously drilled before they are employed to see if they are fit for the job. Some lack patience and we soon hear of flogging of erring students to coma etc. The teaching job is a serious job as much as that of a health personnel and should be treated as such.

I will be back with more points later...I am hungry. #Pounded yam and Okro tinz#

joeydozzy: So you sabi better thing?

Beg me not to throw spoilers

See ya big head. I just finished seeing season 2. Kai! Dem try wella. The ending is quite shocking though- the CIA workplace bombing.

Awesome series.

Homeland.

Damn!!!! I just finished the season 1 of 'Homeland'. That series is so on point. I am not usually a fan of terrorist movies (except '24' though) but 'Homeland' killed it. Solid acting and uniquely twisted plot.

Gotta get season 2 quickly.

Abu Mikey:

I wonder if the drama queen understands what she's even typing

Hmmm....expect a hot, well-seasoned reply.

Mr Funny: it popped so I had to bump. imagine if ur comment was submitted to Nollywood. they fit name am "THE RETURN OF Xb4real". guy get job do.

Ode.

@OP...I feel you. Though, nollywood is lagging behind compared to world standard, but hands are on deck for improvement in all sections of filmmaking. Ppl are not resting on their laurels; new filmmakers are coming in and collaborating wiv ppl from various countries....etc.

Only stewpeed ppl (dem plenty for NL) who don't bother to know these quickly diss everything done in nollywood as crap since all they watch is Alaba movies.

I wonder if they've seen movies like 'Confusion Na Wa', 'Aramotu', 'Phone Swap', 'Anchor Baby' and so on. Nollywood would keep growing and cynics should keep destructively criticising. Ignorance is really a disease.

....the thread title is confusing though. Tpia@, edit it naa or are you attracted to the Polio guy? I don't think so.

Happy Sunday.

[quote author=joelin_sewa]@ Sholay, I tire o! They have cancelled my payment saying funds has been refunded. The exams was meant to be for 7th of Dec. I have to reschedule it for Benin Republic. Have not done that sha[/quote]All izz well bro. I wish you the best in your exam.

*Saw you viewing the thread*

Smhart1: done

Hmmm....

donphilopus: Why na??

Hmmmmm...why u wan know?

Abu Mikey:

Na to scatter everywher be your plan ooo

Lol.

I would ban @Seun for one month and take over the ownership, also ban @Mukina2 till 2034

Then, I would modify posts by @speedyboi to ensure he looks silly. I would make @Villageboi a co-mod.

Topics by @tpia and @Musiwa would grace our frontpage.

And I would ensure Tonto Dike 'pays me her dues' before she tastes frontpage. I would also be the FTC on all topics there.

After the 24 hours, I would deactivate my account.

^^^^^^ Thanks, dad of TV/Movies section. Enjoy a blessed week.

Afam4eva: So, i get we shouldn't also discuss the economic, social and political problem in our country. Everybody should just mind their business.

Smh.

*unfollows thread*

aManFromMars: yeah, mind your business and while the world around you collapses. As a Christian, you have no societal role to play. You're not a part of this world, heaven is the aim, glory to God in the highest.

I laugh. You are quite good in painting me quickly as the heaven fanatic. Who cares anyway even if your thought is absolute bullshit?

I stated my opinion; state yours without making silly inferences from mine sir.

I knew nairalanders would jump at a 'rich' topic like this to 'say the truths' and 'trash fraudsters in angelic robes' whereas all their screamings stay online with everyone continuing their hypocritically pious life with no difference. Nonsense!
