After watching Nimbe, I couldn’t help but wonder if the movie was made by actual film makers or by people who were only concerned about preaching against drug abuse, because Nimbe delivered nothing of note as a cinematic piece. The goal of the movie was to talk about the ills of drug abuse and advertise for merrybet and it delivered on those with aplomb. Very little seriousness was put into making rewatchable cinema. Below are five areas in the movie that better explain my opinion. Story  Nimbe tells an important tale of social vices, particularly drug abuse and how they affect our society. For the times that we live in today this is a necessary story that definitely needs to be told. Script  Once again another Nollywood makes the same mistake of having too many ideas without a focal point. The script attempts to tell the story of drug abuse from the perspective of both the sellers and the users and all the catastrophe in between. This premise on paper has immense potenti...

WhatsApp could soon get support for multiple devices, according to a new report. In August WABetaInfo, a website that analyzes beta versions of the popular messaging app, discovered a feature that lets users access their WhatsApp account on 4 different devices at the same time. Now the site says multiple device support is in “the final stages of testing,” via Gizmochina. The launch of multiple device support would let WhatsApp users access the same account on different devices at the same time. Messages could sync across those devices in real-time, letting users carry on with conversations even when they switch from the WhatsApp app on their phone to the desktop version on their laptop, for example. Though this feature is a staple of certain competing chat programs, multiple device support hasn’t arrived for WhatsApp yet. That said, WABetaInfo seems confident it’s in the works and coming soon. The site even shared an alleged screenshot of WhatsApp’s new desktop UI that shows rece...

Many have suggested that Nigeria does not have a large variety of food items to choose from, and while that may be true to an extent, what we do have are food cultures and traditions. The origins of these unofficial customs are unknown, nonetheless, they have become a part of us. We live by them unconsciously and it has both satisfied and fulfilled us, giving our limited variety much needed excitement. 1. Rice and stew on Sundays Rice and stew is the national Sunday afternoon food of nearly every Nigerian home. The stew is usually prepared the previous night or early Sunday morning and served with hot boiled rice when the whole family returns from church. This special tradition has been and will continue to be.  2. Jollof rice at parties No Jollof no party!. Jollof is simply the staple of any and every party, whether weddings, birthdays or even burials. That unique smoky flavour and taste which many say comes from the fire wood used in preparing it cannot be gotten anywhere e...

I recently watched Ema Edosio’s 2018 film, Kasala! , and my only regret is not watching it earlier. The film was flawless in nearly every area; great story, impeccable writing, sound directing, just to mention a few of its qualities. Kasala is quite simply a faultless film and should be studied by future indie filmmakers But to understand the genius of Kasala! , below are 5 areas that made the movie a gem. Story Kasala! tells a very simple and relatable story about four friends (each with their unique idiosyncrasies and secrets) and a day that started out with potential and excitement but soon turned for the worst with beautiful chaos from start to finish. The story is relatable in the sense that in one way or another we’ve had not exact but similar experiences that involved series of unfortunate events. Writing The script is flawless! The writer took a very simple and basic idea and turned it into a very clear, interesting and deliberate script. Every action, dialogue and scene ...
