Nah, Toy Story 4 was a well deserved win.

Very sweet animated film.


Toy story alone is more interesting than all the films that got nominated for best picture.

IngeniousLeez:
LMAO....

You must be joking.....


If Endgame with all it's "inevitability", INEVITABLY couldn't get a single WIN in it's Biggest strength or category. Who is Far from Home.

I'm not talking about end game and Spiderman winning sef , I'm talking about it getting a nomination for best picture.

hulk616:
thank you.

I don't even know why JoJo rabbit was nominated , quite a lame film.

Spiderman far from home in my opinion was a better film than most of the films nominated for best picture.

IngeniousLeez:
Lol, don't know about that one oo. But it was the overwhelming favourite to win it alongside 1917.

You should have seen it coming after the Globes.

I didn't see it coming.

I felt the film was highly overrated
If that film can win Oscars then even some decent Nigerian films can win Oscars too.

OgunLaakaye:
Dude is even still struggling.

Not even an Evija, Brabus or Maybach in the garage.

Which one you get ?

IngeniousLeez:
Parasite wins Best Picture! Best Director, Best Foreign Film, Best Original Screenplay.

The first Foreign Language Film to win Best Picture. This is unprecedented.

This is evidently the BIGGEST WINNER this Season (4). It's Golden Globes wins ain't A fluke.


And yeah, Netflix still got snubbed again at the Oscars after same Fate in the Globes.

Did Parasite also win the most overrated film of the decade ?

Abia get at best 2billion a month from faac. Where did 500b come from

Bro am wondering the same thing too.

DSoj:
Very true.
We chased them away too early and the country was run by dullards for over 40 yrs who knew NOTHING about governance.
Now we have major roads and national monuments named after them. Rubbish.

The reason why South Africa has a system that works is because they still have whites in control even though not directly ruling. The day whites leave SA, SA will fall just as Mugabe chased them away, today Zimbabweans are lameting

We black Africans... only God knows how he take create us.

So much self hate.

Botswana and south Africa are kind of on the same level and yet Botswana has never been run by whites.

The Bible is not the moral compass of the Christian that thinks it is ok for men not to be virgins before marriage or unfaithful after marriage while the opposite hold for women. I call them 'Nigerian' Christians.

@bold:

I asked crackkhaus a question, let me ask you also:

Is there anywhere in the Bible God expressly said only women should marry as virgins? Is there anywhere that even virginity (male & female) before marriage is made a direct commandment?

Ephesians 5:3 -

"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints"

1 Thessalonians 4:3–4 -

"God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor."

Matthew 15:19 -

"For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies …"

Matthew 19:9 -

"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."

Jude 1:4 -

"I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."


1 Corinthians 6:9–10 -

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

1 Corinthians 6:13 -

"Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body."

1 Corinthians 6:18–19 -

"Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself."

1 Corinthians 7:2 -

"But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband

RuudVanNisteroy:
Out of 53 countries in Africa- less than 3 are working that are run by black africans, if we exclude the Northern African countries populated by Arabs.

Even the ones run by Arabs in North Africa aren't working.

RuudVanNisteroy:
It will be an economic powerhouse. They just need to maintain the current momemtum and foreign investors will continue to flood the country.Education receives the second highest allocation in the countries budget.



They are already setting the up country for success and to become a technology hub.

Based on current trends , in the next twenty years Rwanda gdp per capita will be merely $ 4,474. that of Singapore is 63,000 dollars.

Foreign investment that is coming into Rwanda is not the kind that pulls surplus agricultural labor into more productive work.

Most of the economic growth Rwanda is experiencing is service led mostly jobless growth.

Rwanda spends about 7 percent of their budget on education , Nigeria spends around the same too.

RuudVanNisteroy:
We all had hope that Buhari was going to be like Paul Kagame with all the propoganda that was in the airwaves of how he fought corruption and the plans he had for the country. And we deceived by the fantastically corrupt kingpin of corruption who is even worse than Abacha.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Rwanda is recovering from one of the worst genocide in history and look how far they have come after 2 decades.They now have 24 hour electricity in most urban areas and have plans to provide every area with 24 hour electricity. Give them another 20 years under Kigame and they will the Singapore of Africa.

I like Rwanda and kagame , but let's be honest , in the next twenty years , it's highly unlikely Rwanda will be Singapore of Africa.

The upside 6.8/10.

Botswana has visionary leadership that have brought about a drop in the poverty rate even though it is still high.

Don't ever compare Botswana,Namibia or Rwanda visionary leaders with Nigeria's present ruling bandits. It is like comparing darkness with light.

Paul kagame is the best African ruler.

bukatyne:
If you really study the Bible, you would understand the difference between the customs of the people, God's provision to tackle people's wickedness, peoples' actions and the direct commandments of God.

I bet you are about going into how chastity and sexual faithfulness is expected of only women:

Carry on.

Just leave the Bible out of it.

Sister these are the direct commandments of the Lord.

Yahweh commanded all these. Go and read the book of Leviticus.

Why should I leave the Bible out of it ?

Is that not the moral compass of Nigerian Christians again ?

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 New International Version (NIV)
Marriage Violations
13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.

RuudVanNisteroy:
They are not on Nigeria level. They have 24 hour electricity and progressive leadership.

Go and check how the poverty rates are dropping in those countries and how foreign investors are rushing to their countriies.

Brother even Ghana boasts of 24 hours light .and yes I know they have progressive leadership.

I have checked out their poverty rates and their poverty rates are really high.

55 percent of rwandans live on less than one dollar a day. Same as Nigeria.

60.4 percent of batswana and 50.1 percent of Namibians live on less than 5 dollars a day whereas even in Moldova , the shithole of europe 16.3 percent of people live on less than 5 dollars a day and Mexico that Americans look at as a shithole has 34.8 percent of people living on less than 5 dollars a day.

bukatyne:
The Nigerian one?

The Bible instructs that a woman who is found not to be a virgin on her wedding day should be stoned to death at the door of her father's house.
Nothing about the man.

The woman that Jesus saved from being stoned to death because she committed adultery, nothing was said about the man.

Bevista:
I couldn't have read a more stupid comment. What rubbish victim mentality when you think everyone else is your problem. Whatever you think Shell takes from Nigeria, they do so because your stupid Nigerians collude with them and actually encourage them to steal. Without the active support of Nigerians, no company can do zilch. Do you think the Dutch will sit down and allow a foreign company come to Netherlands and fleece its citizens?

Blame your stupid countrymen who think and behave like cavemen of pre-medieval times.

He thinks Netherlands is like his stupid country that relies on oil inorder to function.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Shell has provided thousands of Nigerians with jobs and is one of the highest paying companies in the country.

They pay their tax to the government as stipulated by the tax code and do their part when it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility.
What else do you want them to do?Provide security,electricity,road network-when that is the responsibility of the governement.

Are you minding him at all !

OruExpress:
80% of the dutch government budget is derived from taxing shell and 60-80% of shells money is derived from untaxed nigerian oil and gas.

Nearly everything you're seeing in this thread is built it part with stolen money from Nigeria. If you want to see Nigeria under the dutch go to the Ogoni and Ijaw regions of the Niger Delta.

This is a very dumb lie.

RuudVanNisteroy:
The only countries working Africa that are on the path to reaching 2nd world and eventually 1st world status are: Botswana,Rwanda and Namibia. Is stating fact now hate and last I remember those three countries are all run by blacks.

Rwanda is more or less on Nigerias level.

Botswana and Namibia have a very high abnormal amount of people living in grinding poverty.

ednut1:
Why cant our miracle show off pastors go there to cure them. Oh i forgot they can't stage it

Pastors that mellowed when ebola came to Lagos.

cococandy:
I’m not concerned about what the Bible says

Good 4 u

cococandy:
I hope he has such advice for his sons too. Stupid

I doubt.

Even the Bible is biased on men losing their virginities.

Best if enemies 7/10.

Sex education season 1 8.5/10

Moneyboyz:
Maybe you should try and see it in the cinema and not pirated Camrip sir
What matters is I am entertained, I had a good laugh and no regrets.

Guy u savage o .

omohayek:
Is Lauretta Onochie a Yoruba man? Is she any better than Adesina? You diehard tribalists are just as pathetic as the shameless lackeys you think yourself better than.

They seem to be so many morons on Nairaland .He can't be reasoned with.

He will soon start calling you a Yoruba Muslim.

Guys if you haven't watched sex education you are sleeping on a unicycle.

Papadoh:
In this day and age you still neva watch walking dead? Anyway it's one of the best of all time and definitely worth watching(especially the earlier seasons)

Woow , alright
