Romance / Why You Shouldn't Be Called A Slay Queen � by Sunnyshinylight(f): 1:27am On Apr 20, 2023
DON'T EVER BE called a Slay Queen, the HOLY SPIRIT is against her.

Proverbs 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Proverbs 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been SLAIN by her.

‘Shanty Town’ echoes Bola Tinubu’s life as RMD plays notorious drug lord


with influence over Lagos, national politics
From costumes to double entendres, Netflix’s latest series portrayed a jarring imitation of the country’s frontline presidential candidate in the upcoming general election.

the newly released blockbuster Netflix series ‘Shanty Town’ has dominated the mind of viewers with its unique storyline and extreme exhibition of drugs, avarice, nudity, and undiluted street lingo.


The series released this weekend followed the plight of hapless sex workers in a ghetto characterised by the exploits of drug dealing, bootlegging and prostitution — all under the grips of fetish, two-faced politicians on a quest to achieve power notwithstanding the price.


The series undoubtedly narrates a very relatable storyline for most Nigerians.

For one, and perhaps most apparent message from the raving show, actor Richard Mofe-Damijo played a power-driven drug cartel boss and human trafficker running for election. His moniker Chief Dacosta Oluyomi Fernandez sought control of the streets with his ill-gotten fortune, first controlling a crucial section of his domain before seeking an outright takeover.

In episode two, Chief Fernandez, whose signature cap and pair of glasses cannot be mistaken. bragged that he had control of a large chunk of Lagos and was prepared to take over the entire city.

His role, a satire of sorts at a time Nigeria is preparing for a general election, bored of snippets of Bola Tinubu’s life as a powerful Lagos politician with documented history of drug dealing, thuggery, public corruption and fierce racketeering. Mr Tinubu has been in control of Lagos for decades, and is now seeking to take over Nigeria as a leading candidate in the presidential election due next month.

Mr Tinubu has continued to deny all wrongdoings, and federal authorities have been reluctant to move against him on the account of his friendship with President Muhammadu Buhari.

As a production, ‘Shanty Town’ cinematography was well received across the country. Unlike many plays that were knocked recently for unforced sloppiness, the crime series effortlessly displayed the extent of violence using convincing explosives, gun fights and other reels to obscure disturbing scenes.


Still, the movie has been criticised for containing some poorly executed scenes, while some others were seen as just unnecessarily drawn-out.

The movie also fell short in diversity among its prostitute cast members. Following the storyline narrating the nightmare of low-class prostitutes in the hood struggling to pay off their love-vendor, it was deemed illogical that most of the cast members had surgically enhanced bodies that should ordinarily be beyond the reach of actual low-class struggling prostitutes. Other similar inconsistencies were also noticed in the movie.

The cast was, however, richly packed, resonating old time Chidi Mokeme and featuring other talented actors like Ini Edo, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Uche Jombo, Nancy Isime, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Shaffy Bello, Zubby Michael, Mercy Eke, Ali Nuhu, Toyin Abraham and others. The cast came through with individual roles.

Chidi Mokeme delivered an outstanding performance in the series, playing the role of vicious drug lord love-vendor ‘Scar’ who was the star of the series.

‘Shanty Town’ is seen as an outstanding production that nonetheless failed to pay attention to a slew of ingredients, starting with the background story and its connection to unraveling events in the series. So many questions evolved and were unfortunately unanswered at the end.

The first season of the series was released on January 20. It’s yet unknown if there would be a season two or when it would be released.

When Obi is elected president...

1. You will see a man far better than buhari in integrity.

2. Your budget will be meaningful. Not their budgetting for spoons and forks every budget year, killing cows every day for no one but themselves.



Wasting resources for no good.

Nigeria will realise how much they have been destroyed by Tinubu and co....

Listen folks, your leaders are so evil, very wicked.

Ask past and present Anambra governor, which of them are able to replicate what Obi has done in the house, in terms of budget, feeding, spending, allowances and pensions, ask them.

Till tomorrow they all take their pensions without a blink.

But this man bluntly refused.


Nigerian's wake up, your wicked leaders are destroying you and your future.

A closer look at the budget would tell you that everything that's budgeted there were budgeted just last year, the Gen set, bedsheets, AC replacement and those paddling are all b's.


That's why they're fighting Obi not to come and spoil everything for them.

Shame to Tinubu forever and Afailtiku too.
