wonder233: It's because she did it in front of cameras, that's why everyone is shouting. If you put camera to follow most of these girls, you will see that they do same. Might not be 100 a day, but certainly a sizeable number. A girl once told me, "do you think we're angels?, you guys rate us too much, there is nothing there for a guy to fvcx us" Ahh Abeg o That lady for speak for herself o She for no use those words ‘ we’ and ‘us’ |

No o
The question is can the men pay the bills??
Marrying does not solve bill paying oo Abi which kind analysis be this
With marriage comes bigger bills to pay
The men marrying the women, do they have enough money to pay bills when they get married?
Before you know children go enter, more bills
If there are no available men that have the resources for paying bills in 2025 forget it, less women would be married in 2025.
They whine us. |

TV/Movies › Re: Suspicion: Rating And Review by ukaface(f): 12:39am On Dec 07, 2024 |
safarigirl: It's been ages NL, but I am back with another movie review for the newly released, Suspicion on Prime Video.
It is one of very few commissioned Nigerian movies on Prime, alongside Breath of Life, and was released on the 28th of November. The premise of this movie is one that has not been extensively explored in Nollywood in recent times, and it really makes you wonder why, because, I mean...supernatural (Juju) doings? It should be second nature to a country that is as spiritually inclined as Nigeria.
I won't dwell too much on the introductory part of this article, so, without further ado, let's dive into the supernatural world spun by the Ighos.
Movie Title: Suspicion
Cast: Stan Nze Uzor Arukwe Omowunmi Dada Tina Mba Kalu Ikeagwu
Director: Tosin Igho
Screenplay: Tosin Igho, Igho
Run Time: 1 Hr 55 Mins
Plot:
A young man's journey of vengeance, after the death of his best friend and goddaughter, leads him to uncovering shocking revelations about the life he once thought he knew.
Review:
This movie takes us on a journey, introducing us to our lead, Voke (Nze), a young man with great potential, that just hasn't materialised into anything. Whatever Voke seemingly lacks financially, he makes up for with the love of his girlfriend, Chisom (Dada), as well as his best friend, Rogba (Arukwe), and Rogba's daughter, Lolu, who also doubles as Coke's goddaughter. We see how much Voke loves Lolu, with how easily be indulges the little girl. So, when a groups of kidnappers attempt to snatch Lolu on her way to school, Rogba and Voke put up a good fight to hinder that. Their fight is, however, all for nothing, as the kidnappers successfully snatch up Lolu.
Now that tastebuds have been sufficiently whet, let me pause on telling the storyline and get into what worked in this movie. I absolutely hate spoilers, so, I won't spoil this for anyone who hasn't seen the movie.
The things that worked in this movie, were first, the fight scenes. Every single time there was a fight scene, the actors sold it, and the gore....oh, the gore! The knife slashes, the bullet shots, if the director was going for shock value, he hit it quite smoothly.
The storyline was also good; of course, it deals with love, loss, grief, vengeance, betrayal, among other things. I won't say I was particularly shocked by some of the revelations as the story went along, but just because I expected the reveal, didn't make it any less an interesting watch. I enjoyed how the story unraveled, how the suspects switched up. This was an under 2-hour movie, but a lot happened in that time. It did not drag, and this is saying a lot, because in recent times, Nollywood has had a number of movies that were just as long, but they threw in a bunch of filler scenes the movies could have done without. Every scene in this movie belonged in it. Even if there were filler scenes, they worked to further the movie, they weren't just there like, "Okay...so, what's the point?"
The use of Juju (black magic), was well done to an extent. It established that Voke is from a family gifted in the dark arts, hence, the powers he possesses. I like that something relatable to the African society was chosen for a paranormal movie. Juju is not a foreign concept, so, choosing that, in telling a tale such as this, and going on to show how his gifts helped him in his battles, made for an interesting watch. Juju being used as just a tool of investigation, and not necessarily portrayed in a negative light, was refreshing.
The Special effects were also well done, it did not look tacky, there was no annoying sound to show the Juju was in effect, or anything of such. There was this scene, where a certain old man was narrating what happened to Rogba (Uzor), to Voke (Nze), the use of special effects in the storytelling was absolutely brilliant. It's a standout scene to me.
Another thing that worked was the acting performances. Stan Nze and Uzor Arukwe are brilliant actors, who never disappoint in executing their roles. Stan had a rather muted performance as Voke, his emotional range in this was a bit flat, and I'm choosing to believe that's what the character was supposed to give off; muted, especially after his many losses. Uzor, as Rogba, pulled a little more heartstrings with his distraught disposition at the kidnap of his daughter, but Tina Mba's dilemma when her son, Voke, sought her help to save the woman he loved, quite possibly, snatched the plaque from Uzor's grip as far as emotion-laden performances go. The lady who plays Onajite (Uchechika), although present for a few scenes, had the most emotional range. Kalu Ikeagwu's performance as Tony, was also a decent highlight from this movie, he brought a sprinkle of humour to this Thriller.
That's enough for what worked. Let's move on to what did not work, for me, in this movie. The first thing that did not work was the dialogue; specifically, the use of language. The pidgin English was not well done, it did not sound like the actors were native speakers of the language most of the time. In fact, aside Onajite and maybe Rogba, everyone else who spoke pidgin here, sounded almost as bad as Ryan Reynolds did when he spoke Igbo in that X-Men movie. It just kept grating my ears. I don't know why the language did not flow as well, but yeah, it didn't work like I assume it was supposed to.
Another issue, how Voke's powers are gotten is not made very clear; yes, we see his mother soak him in some charmed water in the opening scene, but we don't learn how these powers come about; is it hereditary? Do you get it once you're soaked in that water? Is it a combination of both? We also don't learn what his powers really are, his mother mentions he is one of few people with more than 2 powers, but she doesn't state what these powers are. We see he can stop bullets and can't be pierced by normal harmful objects like a bullet and a knife, he can also tell when juju has been used, but there is no explicit mention of his exact powers. It can be overlooked because there is only so much depth a movie can sink into, but it would have been nice to have his powers clearly stated.
Another thing that served as a distraction for me was the aged makeup Voke had on, I don't know if it's because it was poorly done, or some other thing, but it just looked off everytime I saw him in it.
Also, that Lolu babe was not a very smart girl for the duration of that kidnap scene, because what do you mean they shot the man that had just saved you, and you just stood there, waiting for them to come and snatch you up? Leg no gree you run? What happened to your survival skills?
All in all, Suspicion was a very good watch. In a year when Nollywood has released so many underwhelming productions, Suspicion has truly taken this anchor leg of the race seriously and I appreciate this 90+ minutes screamer Tosin Igho has shot for the industry. The great thing about this movie, is that it has great potential for a sequel, and even for a series if they're up to it. The possibilities are endless, and I have great faith in Tosin Igho, to pull it off, if he does get around to making one of those.
Rating: 6.8/10
If you've watched this movie, what did you like about it and what didn't you like? If not, you should get on that Prime Video app and enjoy a good watch. Maybe na me no watch the movie well But, I got confused with the story line One time them Dey fight for a kidnapped girl another minute voke Dey do spiritual things I no just understand Na 3/10 I go rate am I no see the hype wey Una Dey give the movie |
