This was an empty space in January but everything is coming into place gradually and I am enjoying the progress. One step at a time. There is no blessing like having a roof over your head. I swear.
I’ve been counting my blessings lately. Let’s cleanse the TL with some big w energy. Quote my tweet with your recent wins.

Nollywood gave us King of Thieves, Anikulapo and Elesin Oba in 2022. Yoruba language, culture and traditions in the full glare of the world. I am happy.

Finally!!! . Moving from squatting with a family into a three-bedroom flat🥹. I have been praying for this since 2022 and God did it. I believe He will perfect the rest. Now, I have a place I can call my own. From here, I will move to the one I built myself. Amen🙏.
I will finally leave where I am now and move into a new apartment before the end of the year!!!.

Araujo, Pedri, Gavi, Fati. Barcelona is incredibly blessed with talented and technical young footballers for the next decade. And also considering that FDJ, Ferran, Eric, Nico, Inaki. are still young and not yet in their peaks excite me. The future is here.

Pay your writers well and give them enough time to write. Stop this “We have actors on the ground. It is the script we are waiting for.” you can't create magic in two weeks.

Actors go through a lot to get into character. They drop themselves to embody another character and once this is done, it is not easy breaking out of it. And some characters will swallow you completely that you will need a therapist to get out of it. Acting is not a joke.

Adama is a beast!.Ferran is a top player and very mature. De Jong had a great game. Gavi, Pedri, Nico 🔥.Araujo, the future captain. Alves the greatest!.It is a good game from everyone. Xavi and his boys are cooking. I can now eat.
Xavi Ball!. Defense isn't defensive enough lol. Ferran should've been off for Luuk De Jong but 👏. Araujo x Pique 👍🏽. Alba wanted to be a winger so bad. Alves with an Assist, goal and red lmao. Adama Traore, Aubameyang, Gavi, Pedri tho 🥵. A Big game W!💙❤️. Messi's still the 🐐.

Well, Frame 1 is how I started 2024, and frame 2 and 3 is how it is going. And more things will still come in before the end of the year. You just have to take the first step. The humble beginning is beautiful and there is no blessing like being in your own space.
If you don’t have money to get an apartment, stay with your parents. What is this?!

6 games with Xavi.3 wins.2 draws.1 loss.Not bad for a team in crisis. Xavi is doing well and we are improving. I like what he is doing with Dembele. One or two signings in January with fit Fati, Pedri and Alves will improve this squad. We should work on how to defend set pieces.
Always had the talent, Xavi brought the hunger!. DEMBELE IS THAT GUY. Jutgla is my striker. Gavi and Abde understand each other so well. Araujo's ball playing is poor. Busquet's can't control of the DMF🔥. Alba lol. Not the best year but FORCA BARCA💙❤️. Messi's still the 🐐.

Can we have a website for Nollywood produced scripts where people can upload and download scripts? . It can serve as a learning process for young writers and as an avenue for research. My thoughts. Is it a good idea? A bad one? Share your view pls.

Yoruba films may have more quantities than qualities but the truth is Yoruba people love watching Yoruba films than anything. We may criticize them but we will still watch. Put more quality Yoruba films in the cinema like King of Thieves and you will see audience.
