FUNNY BUT ANNOYING ISSUES ABOUT NIGERIAN MOVIES (CONT'D)

Lemme first of all apologise for the bringing the concluding part of this writeup very very late. I promised to be back the following week but weeks rolled into months and I forgot about it. If you've not read the Part 1 of this article, you've missed lots, check the link below and read up. So, here I am, with my remaining points. Click here if you missed the part 1.

11) Plagiarism- i saw a film some time ago, I was so impressed by the unique storyline that i persuaded few friends to get their copies. Few months after, I discovered it was a duplicate of an old Indian film and this happens every freaking time.

(12) Flashback in a flashback- while collating points for this article, i asked a few friends to send in their thoughts and a good number of them mentioned this multiple flashbacks in a flashback issue. It irks me a lot. Mr David sees an old classmate of his, suddenly, they launch into a flashback, in that flash back is Miss Sarah carrying a baby, then another flashback of how they argued over the paternity of the baby comes up. Total Crap!

(13) Posters- You find about to 6 or 8 scenes on a single movie jacket. And this reason for this is not far-fetched, to lure viewers.

(14) Unrealistic comedy scenes- please for how long will a gateman be insulting his boss or his boss' girlfriend or wife. Well, a bit of exaggeration isn't bad to spice things up but this has become a norm.

(15) Roles- The person playing the role of a Doctor in a Yoruba film is a go-to actor for crime roles, with badly-constructed English sentences and unkempt look. I understand that a thespian has to be versatile but No, Ajigijaga isn’t appropriate for that role.

(16) Hairstyle-  An actress would wear two hairstyles throughout a movie. One hairstyle throughout her university days and the second during her wedding and child’s naming ceremonies. Whatever happened to wigs?  Not good enough.

(17) Unthinkable titles- When it comes to movies with absurd titles. Nigerian films take the cake.  What in this world inspired titles like Tear my bra, fuel subsidy, Oga at the top, Limpopo Babes and the likes? Well, be certain that such movies have nothing to offer.

(18) Locations- What’s with the idea of turning sitting rooms to police stations, balconies into prisons? Or asking about 6-10 ladies and guys to start walking around a shopping complex with books just to make it look like they are in a campus. You think we won’t know?
