DARIMA'S DILEMMA



Darima's Dilemma was long overdue for my review. The movie features actors like Majid Michel, IK Ogbonna, Mbong Amata and Diana Yekini. The movie was directed by Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen

Mbong Amata played the role of twins with one of them being reckless while the other was more reserved. Things got out of hands one day when Dise decided to play the role of her sister Darima. Darima had taken off with her boyfriend and pleaded with her Sister Dise to take her place in her matrimonial home until she was back from her trip. Diana Yekini played the role of a ‘biatch’ in this movie; the definition of the friend you don’t want to have. By the way,I haven't seen her act in a lot of movies lately. Alright, refocusing before I veer off to another topic entirely.

Okay, let me say Majid Michel and Mbong Amata displayed a great chemistry in this movie and completely immersed themselves in the characters which they played. I've seen a couple of Mbong Amata movies but haven't seen her act as well as she did in this movie. Unlike some Nollywood movies where the story always seems familiar, Darima's Dilemma had a different story with several twists to it.

One thing though - Joshua, played by Majid Michel was unaware of the fact that the woman in is house was not his wife for a long time. I found that to be quite weird. Like, despite the fact that his wife was an identical twin, he should have been able to tell the difference like right away...........

I rate this movie 4 out of 5. Great Plot, Great Acting, Great Cinematography, Cool Story line....

For those outside of Nigeria, Happy Viewing on Congatv, IbakaTv (Maybe)... Not sure whether the movie is still available for sale on DVD.

I stopped watching when I noticed it has the same storyline of a movie that featured Omotola and Chidi Mokeme. I watched it many years ago. This is just the new version or will I say a remake but with another cast.

Oh really? That's a shame then. I didn't watch the Omotola and Chidi Mokeme version.

A little Update From Me

Hello there!! Happy New Year!!!  I say Happy New Year because I've been away from this blog for so long. :-(  I can't get past the fact that it was the new year just a few months ago. I remember going to church for the crossover service into the new year. It was my first in-person crossover service in 7 years. If you don't know what a crossover service is, ask any Nigerian. :-) 2023 was a few hours away, and my mind ran over the events in 2022. I thought about my wins, like moving to a new state, settling in, getting a job promotion, etc. I thought about how I got sick and felt like life was leaving me to being well again. People went forward to share their testimonies, and I felt I was supposed to be out there proclaiming God's goodness to me. "I'm sorry, Lord," I muttered. "Thank you for everything." A few hours later, everyone said "Happy New Year" with glee and excitement. "2023... Please be good to me." I th...

BIBI - CHAPTER 17

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you Several months later….. **** Pere removed his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. He thought about Nneoma. It had been months since he had seen her. He had reached out to her and tried to see her, but she had refused to pick up his calls. Eventually, she blocked his number, and he saw red. He had had enough. Today, he decided to go to her office to see her. A thousand thoughts crossed his mind. What if she wasn’t at the office? What if she had traveled? “Kade, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He said to their office assistant and headed out. “I’m here to see Ms. Nneoma Odili.” He said to the receptionist. “Is she expecting you?” “No.” He replied curtly. “What is your name?” The lady asked. “Pere is my name.” He answered. “She’s not at her desk.” The receptionist said to him after calling Nneoma's secretary. “Wow! But do you know if she’s in the office today?” ...

BIBI - CHAPTER 16

  I t was a rainy Monday morning, and Lara was frustrated by all the traffic. That was one thing she missed about London. Fast and reliable transportation that got you where you were going without hassles. She was cranky by the time she arrived at the office that morning. It didn’t also help that she didn’t have a good night’s sleep. She placed her bag under her desk and sighed. Kofo, her admin assistant, walked up to her. “Good morning, madam. Your first meeting with the people from Duchess Group is in forty minutes.” Lara squinted and then nodded. She hadn’t yet turned on her computer. “Thanks, Kofo. Yes, I know.” “Can I get you anything?” “Yes, please. My regular morning fix.” Lara smiled. “Okay, I’ll be right back,” Kofo replied. She liked her new assistant a lot. In the short time since she had known her, Kofo had proven to be reliable. She honestly didn’t know what she would do without her these days. After getting her morning fix, a cup of coffee, and egg sandwic...
