safarigirl: In the spirit of New Year Celebrations, Netflix was thoughtful enough to kick off 2022 with a second part to the highly grossing movie, Chief Daddy 2.
This movie is basically a continuation of Chief Daddy, a movie about a rather large family dealing with their internal conflicts at the death of the family's Patriarch, a man fondly called 'Chief Daddy'
Now, at the end of Part 1, there is an introduction of a new character. This character, who, we learn is named Laila at the beginning of Part 2, is played by Rahama Sadau.
Contrary to our collective expectations though, the inclusion of this new character, does not add any sort of depth to the storyline in the part 2.
Now, if you recall, the first part of Chief Daddy, comes to an end with the declaration that contrary to the expectations of the rather greedy members of the Beecroft family, they will not receive their shares of Chief Daddy's property just because they made nice with each other. In fact, there doesn't seem to be shares to be redeemed, something about an IPO and a Company takeover, I won't bore you with the technicalities.
Anyway, the second part begins with Laila, another estranged child of the dedicated philanderer, Chief Daddy, informing the rest of his family, that she will be taking charge of the company, as the rest of them are simply not competent enough.
Where did Laila appear from? We don't know. How did we get to this scene? We're still not sure....however, we at least know, that Laila's mother is named Maryamu, and she does not hold the status of 'legally married wife to the Chief'. That is all the information we need.
Laila is presented to us as something of the antagonist in this movie, so, ideally, the storyline should focus on her constantly sabotaging the rest of the family and the rest of them trying to overcome her as a team, right?
Wrong. See, for the 1h 35minutes duration of the movie, we only see Laila tap into her antagonist nature a couple of times, and the moments are so fleeting, so sudden even, it neither brings with it any shock or suspense value. It's just a scene.
As we are introduced to Laila, we are also introduced to a character we assume is her right-hand man at first, Prince Sonny (Uzor Arukwe). I am happy to let you all know that we do not see him betray her trust, we do not see him take advantage of his relationship with sisters Tinu and Teni, who are smitten by him, to supply her any shady information about the Beecroft family. In fact, he might have as well not been introduced alongside her, because there is barely any interaction between them after the first scene.
But far be it that Prince Sonny is the most unnecessary character in this movie, because we are still being haunted by Joro (Nedu Wazobia) and Chuchu (Chigurl), the clueless Event Planners from Chief Daddy 1.
I can go on all day, but let me state my main issues with this movie, beyond what has been mentioned already:
1. One of my main grouse with the Part 1 of Chief Daddy was a lack of story development, especially as regards the romance of Dammy and Adaora, the Part 2 only got worse on that front. Very poor story development. I compared it to a work done by 10 different writers, none of whom consulted each other. They just brought together their individual pieces and made a movie that simply didn't flow.
2. I would like to thank Dubai and the UAE for always coming through for Nollywood whenever they want to give us a little razzle dazzle so we barely notice a poor plotline, but it simply did not work this time. Dubai was unnecessary, but let us excuse it, based on possible MoUs signed. It was, however, not the only unnecessary part in this movie.
3. This one is special, because it is the second time EbonyLife has done this thing and we must call it out. WHY MUST YOU CARRY OVER A DISPENSABLE CHARACTER FROM PART 1 TO PART 2 OF A MOVIE? Recall that in The Wedding Party 2, we had to deal with Saka's character once again at the airport, trying to board a flight he did not book, for a wedding he was not invited to, as if trying to stir up memories of when he crashed the wedding in Part 1. We also had to witness the MC from Wedding Party 1, played by AY, engage in a tussle for MC Supremacy in The Wedding Party 2, even though the second wedding was all the way in Dubai. Now, in Chief Daddy 2, Joro and Chuchu, both of who planned the memorial party in Chief Daddy 1, have returned as Planners for the wedding of a supposedly rich and affluent superstar footballer, Dammy Baggio (Mawuli Gavor). Why? How? If he is as wealthy as his character is portrayed to be, how realistic is it, that he would put his wedding planning in the hands of these Bend-down-select event planners? Were they necessary? No. Did they need to be carried over? No. Did they add to story development? No. Did they add to comic value? Not at all. Yet, here we are.
On a positive note, the setting was nice, from Lagos to London and Dubai, lighting was great, sound was awesome, music score was decent. There was heavy usage of Falz The Bahd Guy's tracks; they may have killed two birds with a stone by using a lead actor's music, possibly to sort some copyright issues. Very smart move in production. The general acting was decent. The script was as underwhelming as the plotline. No quotable quotes, no witty words. It gave nothing.
To be honest, if you haven't watched Part 1, good for you. Don't bother. If you have, and you wish to watch Part 2 either for curiosity or to fulfill all righteousness, make sure you use Free wifi, or someone else's data. It will hurt less.
Overall Rating: 4.5/10.
Please, if you've seen the movie. What are your thoughts and ratings?
It seemed pointless to me, it seemed like they were excited that part one was great so they wanted to continue like how they did with King of Boys
Ekealterego: All the talks about the SE being the behind is just pure propaganda and promotions.
SE in the mainstream is doing just as good.
This list made the front page, some days ago and I I will insert the region of origin
These Nigerian songs are currently in the top 10 list of all time as of 31st of December 2021.
1. Burna Boy - On The Low [242 million] 2018 SS
2. Davido - Fall [227 million views] 2017 SW
3 Sinach - Way Maker [189 million] 2015 SE
4. Ckay ft Joeboy & Kuami Eugene - Love Nwantiti [174 million] 2020 SE
5. Burna Boy - Ye [171 million] 2018 SS
6. Tekno - Pana [170 million] 2016 SE
7. Wizkid - Joro [168 million] 2019 SW
8. Ckay - Love Nwantiti (Acoustic) [144 million] 2020 SE
9. Davido - If [142 million] 2017 SW
10. Yemi Alade - Johnny [140 million] 2014 SW/SE
The SE also even have great üpromise for the future. So many young talents going mainstream in the future.
The likes of Guchi, Fave, AV, Salle (with the promotion), Dai verse, Singah (no longer up and coming though) are going to even shake things up more next year. They are all SEs. I am not even talking about established up and coming stars.
To the topic, the people of the SS who will do great even in the mainstream from the SS are Omah lay, 1da ton, Ajebo hustlers. I like what they are doing from the PH blocks. This is where Burna came from too.
The Benin blocks are also churning out stars. The likes of Rema, and that his former partner is doing great.
Where is that Viktor guy that did rap in Ishan? Where is Sugarboy the Akwa-ibom guy too?
Buju (Akwa-Ibom) is doing great too.
The SS igboid have some advantages though. they can be hot within SS, nationally or within the SE. Look at how Mercy Chinwo revived her career by embracing the SE style.
You're so precise and detailed. SlyDev unukwa? And have you seen?
SlyDev: I have discovered a new music taste that is from SS, slow, piano and cool voice. That unique style help me looking for more. I don't feel south east musicians, I don't just feel it
So south east use to shout and play high tunes when they sing? ... Well, South east music is versatile and it's for everybody, they don't stick to one genre. That's one thing I love about it.
Movic1: The most extreme settlement in Nigeria is the Makoko slum. Makoko is an environmental eyesore, environmental nuisance, security risk and toxic pollutants of water. The LASG should demolish makoko and relocate the occupants to another place..
To be sincere I never liked the place. Those people are homeless and need a nice, clean place to stay provided by the government.
There was a time, I heard on person or is it an official calling it Lagos Venice. Can you imagine?
Those people are living in shacks and that residence there is far from being Venice.
If they can get them affordae, or floating plastic houses at cheap prices from the Eastern Nigeria or China; tell them to create it for you or make it on contract.
And hand it to them, then have a good sewage system, that doesn't make that water horrible. Sometimes I wonder if the children swim in that water
helinues: Your people are living peaceful in my region, drinking our water, eating our foods, learning and speaking our local dialects, competing with indigenous with resources meant for them, occupying both state and FG openings across the region yet you people are still harboring hatred towards us, impersonating us just to abuse us
I leave you people with ADABI..
I won't say more than that
A Yoruba person has already exposed you, he could see from your very lies. Why are you behaving sympathetic. Why are you ashamed of your tribe? , or are you one of those land grabbing minority? Silly clown.
[quote author= post=109005166]Mind game to deceive those agitating for state controling VAT, please how can Kano generate more VAT than the whole of Southeast when Anambra alone is more industrialized than Kano? How can Kano generate more VAT when three states in Southeast are oil producing states? How can Kano generate more VAT when Southeast host 6 breweries, how can Kano generate more VAT than East when Southeast host gaint oil producing firms exploring oil and gas in their domain? How can Kano generate more VAT when southeast host three power stations non in Kano, How can Kano generate more VAT when Owerri Airport generate more air passengers traffic than Kano followed by Enugu Airport? How can Kano generate more VAT when Southeast host highest numbers of importers than any region in Nigeria, Are cows paying the VAT?[/quote]Everything you see on paper or report shouldn't be held into consideration. The mind game is being played so that the east would feel the Vat was useless after all and succumb to their demands.
Blessedassuranc: Madam no bother yourself. You ve already done with exposing yourself.
Good night
And good night to you too, you've also exposed yourself. My God and I know ourselves and I'm not trapped by your outside God who you believe you'll see after you die. Kantinue, as far as it serves you well, it's good.
This God I worship is unconditional, unblemished love and he loves me no matter what Pastor Patrick.
Blessedassuranc: God be mercy .. why come here to expose yourself?.pls replace that phrase we women' with 'I'.. Do you even understand the meaning and implication of what you just said?
Mr and Mrs. Church goer. I wasn't referring to you. Go to religion session if you want to start preaching, or ask your pastor if he can give you liberty to marry as you guys always do.
uthlaw: this is not a dream,you actually knows when a guy is doing okay,even ladies will spend to keep him...only SIMP heart can be breaking,a real nigga will have numerous girlfriend, if one goes,another take over,even if you get married as a real nigga,at least 3 side chick to keep body and soil without stress!
... Nairaland is a place filled with mostly disturbed people. Please, be realistic, Nairaland isn't real world situation.
If you like be the finest boy in heaven and earth, if I see you're greedy, emotionless, or a hard redpillar, then I'll be the one to call it off. I can't biko.
And I'm a love-snatcher (proud one) here's what it means if I show you love, you can love me that you would be so stress free and happy with me. But if you do something to offend me, if I leave, then you're done for. You'll beg and beg for months.
But unfortunately for you, in less than a week, I've found another guy. So, I guess I'm a redpillar woman too if you think of it.
So, some women have respect and we aren't your flocks of chicken were you can keep us as you wish and do away with us. Yuck!!!
uthlaw: when you class,most beautiful working class ladies run after you...we are both saying the same thing!
Keep dreaming, we women and mens mind are not the same. A man can have class but if he's greedy and a redpillar, then you're having that woman for a short time. And you'll keep on breaking your heart from time to time, and blame women afterwards.
uthlaw: so getting a girl is hard or what are you trying to say,make she go find work na or make I father help her finances!
If you need a classy girl, you've got to be generous and also an intelligent, responsible one. It isn't all girls who tend to be desperate you know. There are class upon class.
GoodHardDick: Abeg no annoy me this night Why couldn't she work and make money for herself to buy the nice clothes and all that and then be proud of herself? Is the OP her father?
Your types do not find it difficult getting the next guy because the next guy is obviously a SIMP that can easily fall for your manipulations.
I'm glad the OP refused. That's how it should be! I'm impressed most guys are fast becoming redpillers this new year!!
Mtcheww, and you guys would be saying why no girl has looked your face. kantinue, Ndi Redpillars!!
LagosInter: You all are just prostitutees but with different tactics.
But we aren't ready for this discussion yet.
Inukwa maintain her looks.
As in car?
See, I don't have time to argue with you Nairaland men, I don't date any self. It's only on Nairaland I see such concepts. Real men never say such. They know they've got to practice family duties, by being a man and taking care of their woman in the first place.
I work for my money, and if my man is here he can testify I've never asked him for sishy, but if he brings I collect. Unukwa?
I also give. I believe in mutual support. But a man needs to be a man by showing his woman these things, love, affection and support. That's what makes a man responsible and family conscious.
How would a woman ever date or marry a guy if he's always claiming Hard man? It's disgusting for me. I'm happy my man is a good simp if that's so, he knows how to make me happy and I do the same. It's mutual and God-given..
Babara1994: There is this lady I liked. We met three months ago. Recently, she asked me to lend her 5k, adding that the money will be returned back in a week's time.
I had the money, but I knew from experience that lending females money, especially the ones you're crushing on is a waste of money. I declined and told her I wasn't interested in her any longer.
4 hours later, one of my male friends asked me to lend him 10k, stating that he would repay in two weeks' time. I sent him the money immediately.
Did I do wrong?
If she's been in a long time relationship with you, then that's wrong. But according to your report, she's only short.
And how do you want a lady to maintain her look without having finances. If you want her to head to the gym to keep that shape it needs money, for the nice clothes and all. So you can be proud of her.
But it's based on your decision, we women do not find it hard in getting the next guy. It's so easy for us.
So, if you feel less a simp here, like some acclaimed simp do say here. Then it's good for you.
Sevenworldpower: Night clubs, parties and gatherings including night vigils should be banned. Streets and public facilities should free of human activities by 11pm exceptions are those rendering essential services
Then how does PH want to be a Mega city or place of destination? It doesn't make sense. If after work, I can party my way till the next morning then what's fun about being in a so called city?
She had the body, but she couldn't use it very well in BBN. Dance, she'll dance like an old woman, she did everything like she was there to give advice for the ladies who needed to be encouraged to win.
Everyone can talk to God and say what they want. I don't know for these busy body priests self. If Mbaka wants to pray for anyone let He and his God be. People that would be dictating what God wants as if God is a baby with feeding bottle.

No you won't, you shall live as long as you want, my dear. Only if you wish to go, the you can. But if it isn't your time, you're going nowhere. So I decree you shall live and be happy as long as you wish.
Show pics to prove you are not lesser than or get off my mentions.
I won't show you. I better do video call with you on WhatsApp. But I won't show you. I can bring my picture here and you won't still believe, so what should I proof. or even worst give a fake pic like some of you here do.
kingawothefirst: I showed you fine girls, from ibibio, to igbo, to yoruba.
All you have shown us is burnt yansh, show pics or get off my mentions
.... Why do I need to proof to you or show you anything. I know what I got and who I mingle with, you're not worth my attention nor my mingling time. . But if it's better insult to fix that screw in your big coconut head, then someone need to tell you.
Some Nairalanders who we've met one on one can testify, so why would I proof petty with you.
PS: I've got a man so stop indirectly hitting on me....okay.
kingawothefirst: Another long epistle from a pained woh woh lady with burnt yansh that I’m not gonna read lol haha
Okay, you showed me Moyo Lawal, and the one more for proof. Okay Kantinue (in Patience Jonathan's voice)
I don't need to show you proof becuase amongst Nigerians, they know who's got the prettiest, most beautiful and humble women. Even Africa and the world is catching up.
For example, Ada and David on YouTube. You don't joke with Ada when it comes to David. He'll kill for his wifey that's the pedigree of Igbo women and all that have Igbo blood in them.
