We ‘ve seen Nigeria’s past via “Half of a Yellow Sun” from the eyes of a bloody civil war, fought predominantly on IGBO soil, Kunle Afolayan brings this nation’s past from another perspective… See it from the eyes of a Yoruba nation… Two weeks to Nigeria’s independence scheduled for October 1st 1960,a northern Nigerian Police Detective, DAN WAZIRI(Sadiq Daba), is urgently despatched by the Colonial leaders to the trading post town of Akote in Yorubaland, to solve a series of female murders that have struck horror in the hearts and minds of the local community. The movie premieres in Nigerian cinemas, come October 1st 2014 – Happy 54th Independence!
Filled with suspense and more, watch this movie and decide if this or “Figurine” is Kunle Afolayan’s best movie so far
On a Scale of 0 – 10, this Movie is a 7.
Guardians of the Galaxy
St. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Bautista, et al.
With a $94 million USD opening weekend for a movie with little or no hype, “Marvel” has shown us that, “Marvel can do whatever Marvel desires.” Now the sale of “Guardians of the Galaxy” comic (a comic that was originally rested in 2010, but reinstated in 2013) has increased exponentially. The story? Peter Quill abducted the night he lost his mom, is seen 26 years after as the target of a manhunt after he discovered an orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser… think light years ahead!
Not to forget WWE star, Bautista’s role – he’s shown us, that if you want a “support muscle act” that will not steal the shine off the major act, like the second highest paid actor in Hollywood, “The Rock” is your number one choice!
On a Scale of 0 – 10, this Movie is a 9!
Music
Anaconda
By Nicki Minaj
It’s not every day you get to see an artiste on two different tracks top itunes in over sixteen countries in less than a month. Anaconda like her teaser weeks ago, is a hit! Her statement hit so hard that, her number one “beefer”, former number one female rapper, Li’l Kim had to attack her on social media, to remind us, that she still exists; “I see you everyday …”
On a Scale of 0 – 10, this Song is a 7.
Shake Body
By Skales
After Skales fell out with his former record label, “EME”, due to a rumoured inability to bring in patronage and funds, the young singer/rapper from Kaduna dusted himself up, and took the decision to prove doubters wrong. The result is a new record deal and this new banger (Shake Body). The track is generating so much hype that the artiste is giving away a whopping $10,000 USD to anyone/team able to create a winning “Shake body” dance video.
On a Scale of 0 -10, this Song is 5.
