Movie Review - Bling Lagosians

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie.
I had many laughing moments.

The story is centered around the lives of the popular Lagos Holloway family.

Pandemonium struck after the death of 'Baba Eko' who had been protecting Akin Holloway, CEO of ST Ives, a family owned business. Mopelola Holloway who was married to Akin was a reckless spender who spared no expenses especially when she was throwing a party. She had some rather funny and jealous friends who made it their business to taunt her endlessly, when the it appeared that the Holloways had become financially bankrupt.

Sharon Ooja brought her A-game on in this movie. I also loved watching Osas Ighodaro's acting. Alexx Ekubo didn't disappoint either.

The movie also stars fabulous actors like Mona Lisa Chinda, Toyin Abraham, Bisola Aiyeola and Jide Kosoko amongst others.

I rate this movie a 71/2 out of 10.

I would have loved to see how Akin Holloway fought the wolves to take back possession of ST Ives.

By the way, I saw this movie on Netflix. A lot of the cool Nollywood movies are being uploaded to Netflix these days. Makes me really happy as those of us in the diaspora get to see the best of Nollywood. I also have an IrokoTV subscription (7 years and counting). I hope Netflix will not run them out of business! (Well, you didn't hear me say so..)

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...
