Tuesday Night Movie Review - Chief Daddy!



Nugget: See a movie first before you judge... 

I'd seen trailers of this movie and had eagerly anticipated watching it. But, I became uncertain about it after reading a certain review, advising people against seeing the movie as it was a waste of time. Obviously, that was her opinion and just so, I could understand  her point, I did really look out for the concerns she'd raised, and I realized this lady must have been seeing the movie while having a bad hair day.

Anyway, Chief Daddy is the generic African story of a wealthy man who had sewn a lot of wild oats and the legitimate wife got to find out after his death.

Apart from the top notch cast which brought me giggles, everybody had their parts down! Special whoop to Falz, that guy got the British accent so down, it was annoying at some point.

Ebony life did great on this one. I was awed to find they inculcated their legal series - Castle and Castle into the movie; it's growth that this sort of development is occurring in Nigerian movies.

For those that haven't seen Chief Daddy, please do... without bias though, or else you won't get it.

On to the next movie ...
Ciao!

Pandemic Movie Review - Native Girl

It's been a minute, folks. Hope you're holding up okay in the lockdown. The pandemic has necessitated that we do any and all things and that includes all the channels on DStv,  even the terrible ones; cue - African Magic Epic...shoot me already! Anyway, this evening, the movie Native Girl came up and apart from the descriptive name, what caught my attention and held it was the director's name - Yul Edochie. (Ahem, a few of us fancy his gravelly voice). He's a great actor though, and this was the first time I was seeing him as director, I was really interested in the movie. Except, when the movie began, I got distracted by another person, the herione - Judy Austin. She was phenomenal as the native girl who could only speak Ibo language despite her absolute beauty. Brief description: Yul Edochie played Uchenna, a business man in the US whose mom wants grandkids and therefore introduces a woman to him on phone. Said woman is so beautiful he approves his mother...

WAR: Second Free Chapter

2 SEIZURE The war started in her mind first. Laika took count of the soldiers on board the warship. As a single female prisoner, she got only five escorts, one ship steerer and the captain who was so fat he could barely fit in the door to his cabin; she counted six in all, as she couldn’t regard the captain as hostile. She took stock of weapons at her disposal and for the first time, the clogging stench of the crocodile filled muddy water was her strongest ally. It was a stench so vile that one would regard the smell of a dead rat in a damp, stuffy house as potpourri. She noticed that the armed guard beside her started twitching his nose as the ship made its torturous way through the college of crocodiles and possibly decayed bodies thrown into the marsh for as long as Marshland existed; bodies that the crocodiles apparently refused to devour, so pieces of human body parts floated around stinking up the place. The stench was her distraction. Then she had to find a way...

EATING HEALTHY IN UYO: The Parfait Discovery

First off, happy new year, y'all! It's been a wild while. I know it's almost the end of January, but hey, this is Nigeria, right? Lol!  So, a while back, like five couple of months, eating healthy in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State was a bore. Plus it was reducing the weight of our purses instead of our belly and bumbum.  Anyhoo, take a look at the innocent cup below...  Innocent and exotic looking. This here cup goes for N1500 at 19, Uruan street - Freshblesyns Fruit Juice Bar.  It was innocent until I took the first scoop. Hmmmmmm! Sweet, blessed sweetness! I could practically see my flat stomach behind my eyelids. The crunch, the melt, the juicy, the sour, the sweet, all mixed to encourage a foodgasm!  I made love to the rest of that innocent looking cup. When I was done, it looked ravished and experienced. If you're in Uyo, go here and eat healthy without grimacing.  My gift to you.  😘😘😘 Ciao!
