Mr Troll:

texanomaly: More like Post Mental Symptoms some days in NL.

Yeah...

speedyboi: Hypocrisy!
Shallow thinking!
and more full this thread!

Of all things to criticize in the industry, this is what you think is important?

If you want to start criticizing delusional movies (leaving behind the fact that movies are not documentaries and not necessarily meant to be 'the real situation'), Hollywood movies and all other woods will come before Nollywood!

what will you say about;
A. -A single criminal defeating a battalion of well trained soldiers like say na ice-cream dem dey drink for army their whole life. Is that the situation in real life?
-In a movie like Olympus has fallen for instance; first part of the attack in white house, the Police or whoever were practically coming out of the building to be killed. I'm sure 'the grrreaat' american police force wouldn't be so dumb in real life, would they? ,
-Or in all action movies where lots of people could've taken the criminal at once, but they always prefer to go one by one... to be killed ofcourse - How realistic is that?

B. -And that sh/itty british movie titled slum dog millionaire where people in the slums can speak proper english. Is that the real situation in India?
-OR another unrealistic part: the real slum little boys they used in the beginning spoke Hindi; then the India little actors (who were obviously from middle/high class family in real life) they used when the boys grew up (like 11years kinda) suddenly started to speak proper English without attending school! How real is that anywhere in the world?
-OR the who wants to be a millionaire questions that were turning out as 'fate' BS. - please save me! And the cheap questions that were being asked sef: Infact, who wants to be a millionaire in Nigeria have asked the name of 3 musketeers as a first question before, but lo and behold, that was the ultimate question in the who wants to be a millionaire in our 'slumdog'. mtcheeeew...what A load of crap!

C. Or about anywhere apart from US, UK, Australia and likes being depicted as the worst place on earth in hollywood movies. No? Lemme tell you what a typical shallow minded person thinks about these countries due to 'HOLLYWOOD'
- Russia / Russians - Terrorist Nation
- Korea - Terrorist nation
- Africa - Jungle with people and animals whining and dining together (even though me wey they live here have never seen a wild animal in my life sef). Other times, Africa is a desert with no houses.
- And probably the first movie they will shoot in India, India is already being given the first impression of a slum! And another stereotype begins!
And incase you haven't noticed, almost every bad guy in American movies always have foreign accents!

C. And 'about accents of people who arrive from abroad' that people always complain about...the fact is their accents are as shitty as the ones foreign actors speak in movies about other countries (despite the 'language coach' they get). There's no movie where actors are expected to speak like another country that the people of the country didn't complain about the accents. Even british people complain about Charlize Theron's accent in the movie 'Snow White and Huntsman). That's just how it is; unless you've lived somewhere for a while, you can never have their accent! If na to say few words, then the language coaching might be effective.

Conclusion: Delusional stuffs is not limited to Nollywood! Infact, it is mean't to happen! Why? Because it is a movie! There are are better things to discuss improvement on. It's good to point out things like this, but you need to know, it's not a reason to bash any industry!

Your post notifies anger.
You are quite correct but I don't think that's what the OP is talking about.
Our foreign counter parts are able to make the movies look real even if not perfectly but to a large extent.
But here in Nigeria, they barley appear real talk more of being close to perfect.
The only movie I can single out in Nigeria, that was beautifully done is MR and MRS. Ije is not too good.
Nollywood needs to work on their scripts and performance cause majority of them make junks.
Let's be truthful.

How can you compare Hollywood to Nollywood?
Come on. The diff is clear.

youngprofdguru: cool songs frm Adele......

Exactly.

Sal C: Am cool.

That‘s because am not so frequent here these days.

Really?
Ok.
I hope to be seeing you around more often.

Sal C??

Mr Troll: Premium Motor Spirit

Can Pre Mental Symptom work??

Sal C: Welcome

What's up with you?
I've never really had a real chat with you.

texanomaly: Cool. Stay tuned for further details.

Ok o.

texanomaly: Hahahahahahahahahaha

She will kill you...

Don't worry Ishi...Alfa will fight him for you.

POPE II: after you answer my simple question. Are u shy ? Na wa oo with una

I live on Nairaland.

texanomaly: Girl if you live in Naija, we need to get together when I come. I need to rescue you from this place for a while.

My brother has been complaining about the long hours I spend online.
How come you noticed?

Sal C: I posted that cuz i mistakenly thought this was the compliant thread only to realize it‘s the chat thread.

I didn‘t want you to get another ban.

awww.... Thanks for showing concern.

Natural hair looks pretty. But when you carry one, it's very stressful to maintain and to style.
IT takes twice the effort one uses on a relaxed hair.
I've been there.

I wanted to transition some months back but I just couldn't. The hair was so coarse I had to relax.

Sal C: What are you thinking dear.

Pope II??

Ishilove: God forbid

I doesn't sound strong enough.


If it were
God forbid!!!!!!!!!!! Hell, NO!
I would have believed.


Now I know the feeling is mutual.

texanomaly: Lolz...ok cuz PMS means something totally different here.



Hi there.

Premenstrual Syndrome

POPE II: are u beautiful then ?

POPE II: what do you mean? Why are you antagonist

Can't we talk about other things.

Sal C: Hia!!

Is it what I am thinking?

Most songs I hear on Soundcity, Trace and all are junk.
All I hear is dugs, money, sex and other dirty meaningless lyrics.
Nigerian videos are all about bum shaking, bosom pressing, ass grinding and some sexual related stuff.
I can't watch Soundcity with a little kid.
Even their American counter parts are no different.

IF music is food for the soul why should we keep feeding on junk songs?
The Drake's, Lil Wayne's are more famous than Phillip Phillips, Colbie Calliat, in Nigeria.
Wizkid, Davido, Timaya are more famous than Praiz, Bez, Timi in Nigeria.

We need to start feeding our souls with healthy/nourishing music.
Like songs from
Jason Mraz, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, The Everly Brothers, Zac Brown Band, John Legend, James Blunt and many others
Praiz, Timi, Tiwa Savage, Asa, and a very few other Nigerian artiste.

We really need to outgrow this if it is not a party jamz, it is not a good song mentality.
We need to listen to good songs.



Music is food for the soul. What are you feeding your soul?

POPE II: no I did not my bad

Ok.

POPE II: thank you

Do you live in Nigeria?

vickyO lives on Nairaland.

POPE II: for real?
I'm sorry, very sorry I didn't mean to b disrespectful, I thought telling a girl she's sexy was a compliment. Please forgive e

It's disrespectful to me.
Apology accepted.
And haven't you read that quote that says, call a girl beautiful, not hot/sexy/freak?

Praiz is very good. He is the best amongst those listed.

youngprofdguru: who agrees with him?

I agree.

Gone, gone gone by Phillip Phillips.

Quite funny.

obadiah777: dont nobody wanna know about ya s-e-x scandal or ya star life. go and sit down somewhere smdh lovers of self

spencerwilliams: ar u in dis country atal?how wil u say majority of nigerian christian are upholdas of non trousa doctrin,just go 2 d market,walk along d road nd just count does [b]women on trousas nd d ones [/b]on long skirt u wil know dat d upholders of trousa doctrines ar much.

Let me break it down.
MFM upholds this doctrine, do you know how many members they have? male and female inclusive
Redeemed, some of their members uphold this doctrine.
Deeper life upholds it.
The Lord's Chosen upholds it.
CAC upholds it
Some Baptists uphold it.

The above churches have more members than any other church in Nigeria.
Men also uphold non trouser wearing.
Most of them are men sef, they just impose on the women.

Haters will always hate.
Arsenal is on fire, and we fans are.
We'll win this season.
When it happens, I'll be ready to laugh at the posts of haters.
E.G. it was just your lucky season
Don't worry, Man-u will regain their form and you'll be begging for 5th place next season, E.T.C

I don't have to read all that to agree with the topic of the thread. It's too long.

To the haters, as they say haters gon' hate.
We are just too much and they just don't get it.

I once had that dream and funny enough it remained a dream.
I play fairly well for a non professional.
