Time for my own hot take. I think as a society we’ve outgrown the need for comedians. Everyone and their grandmother is funny. I’ve gotten more laughs off of Twitter than watching a set by a comedian.

Scott chose Catherine who was in the bottom of a public vote. Defended her when Sammy said there was no way that he was attracted to her. Sung her praises even while he was fangirling Kady. Joined at the hip with Catherine. So what is the problem that Tyrique has? #LoveIsland.

If I now say ever since she pivoted from romance to action her acting abilities went down the drain? Because I get proof o.
See how Adesua Etomi Wellington stopped taking roles that would make her kiss other men after she got married?.Very demure, very mindful🤝.

Maybe having your junior secondary school exam questions use words like expatiate enabled Nigerian students to build a vocabulary of words from a young age because I cannot believe these basic words are supposed AI tells.
@paulg delve, safeguard, robust, demystify, 'in this digital world', . all chatgpt. I am rejecting all content with any of these words. there is no problem with these words, but they make human language mechanical.

I hope MAVIN know that the optics of using a white woman as the signpost of Rema’s “triumph” especially in comparison to an innocent young black girl as “trenches” is problematic AF!!.

Sorry o Nollywood while we’re casting Michael Ike, cast his mother too. She’s always wanted to act. Cast Suzanne Emma today, a trial will convince you!.

These casting options show how much you guys accelerate the aging process for women in Nollywood while concurrently infantilising the men. If I see one more Timini fan cast I will burn this app down. Because that man is near 40 years old and you people treat him like a child.

I find it disrespectful when people refer to Layi as a “skit maker”. Layi is a storyteller. The attention to detail in those short videos, the obvious time spent scripting, filming, editing and not to mention his commitment to the roles he plays, the acting? THE ACTING!!!! Haba!.

This is not how it works. Unless Ayra buys a table and has Veeke James dress her which is quite unlikely. The only way Ayra will be at the Met is by being dressed by an established fashion house which tbh is better for Ayra in the long run.
I hope Ayra Starr wears a Nigerian brand for her met gala debut precisely Vickie James 👀.

Hafy sat down in the studio and made modifications to an original for which she was charged a fee for a “custom design”. DS could have made different modifications to the “original design” instead of replicating Hafy’s specific modifications. It’s the PRINCIPLE OF THE THING!.

Do the show runners of Bridgerton not see how wrong it is for #Polin to be getting this much promo only two months after S2? Simone and Johnny barely did any promo before their season and now they’re being overshadowed by Polin. Also why is Charithra everywhere? Nah I’m vexed.

Nollywood should continue with its obsession with numbers. Your unmemorable film was top 10 around the world for 69 weeks, we don hear. Doesn’t change the fact that the plot was perforated, dialogue was shitty and the acting was subpar due to poor directing. But YAY NUMBERS!.

@dakdutch They were culture movers, because they were actually artists (even if they weren’t formally trained) they had an eye, voices and things to say. This is why till today the impact is felt. Now na anywhere wey bele face and why we haven’t made anything culturally impactful.

Nollywood claims to want to be world class but cannot for the life of you tell good stories while expecting a pat on the back because your camera quality has improved. Ogbeni, tell the truth and shame the devil, you want to be a local champions and that’s okay.

@hawkmebooo Very rarely do individuals get invited, the Met Gala is a fundraising event for the Met Museum and so these brands buy tables as their donation to the Met. I do hope her team has been working on building the right relationships in fashion to get her on that carpet.

It’s not just this film. It’s a Nollywood problem. Come to Nollywood Film Club and we can give you a comprehensive list of films in the last 2-3 years that have used rape and sexual violence as a plot device in Nollywood.
How can rape just be a plot device?.

@_seunodebunmi I hate that people are missing the point here. Hafy never claimed ownership of the design. But those modifications are hers. And the lack of sensitivity in the response from the Sagoe team very is disappointing.

Steamy? I don’t care about these people but steamy romances? Daniel? Nollywood? Abeg don’t make me laugh.
Most Nigerian women are so dishonest. Etim acts in hot steamy romances more often that he acts in other characters and I've often wondered how his wife copes and feels. NO WOMAN will feel completely okay and safe with such an actor as a husband. But everyday we come on here to.

So I’ve been seeing on the TL that Nigerian film distributors are deliberately keeping movie goers from watching Mami Wata, employing sinister tactics to prevent the film from having at the very least a few good weeks in cinemas. How is this beneficial to the industry?!!!!.
