Genevieve Nnaji and Lion heart; All the Rave




Hi There,

In a few months, year 2018 will be a wrap. Are you grateful, excited, ecstatic or numb? Always remember that a new day presents another opportunity to try again, to be bigger, better, to reach for the skies.

Alright, let's talk about Genevieve Nnaji. I happened to be one of those who thought that she was overrated in recent times. I haven't seen her act in new movies, apart from Half of a Yellow Sun in 2014 and Road to Yesterday in 2015. While I was sure that she was involved in some gigs behind the scenes, I couldn't really see her work on the screen and hence, my scepticism. Lion heart is Genevieve's debut movie, co produced by Chinny Onwugbenu. 

I was taken by surprise when I saw the Lion Heart trailer. Have you seen it? What do you think? This movie has been acquired by Netflix and was premiered at TIFF 2018 ( Toronto International Film Festival).  The other day, I watched Genevieve and Chinny say that it took three years to make this movie. Wow!! I watch some Nigerian movies and I just wonder whether any thought was put into them. Some of the movies are practically made with the wave of a magic wand!! I'm glad to see filmmakers in Nigeria who are committed to quality and not just quantity. 

This movie stars Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu and Nkem Owoh amongst others. 

I'm on the lookout for Lion Heart as I cannot wait to review it.

Genevieve has broken the ceiling with this one. What do you think?

Cheerio!!!!!!!

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...
