Chief Daddy (Movie Review)

Chief Daddy! Chief Daddy!
That was how I went to see that movie oo. The lobby of the Cinema was filled with eager youths, parents and children. At first I thought it was a Crusade or a tournament...probably the super Eagles were playing a match. I was wondering; "warris happening here?"

I joined the very long queue and was feasting my eyes on all the nude and semi nude, the handsome and wannabe guys and girls when one hoarse voice said;

 "NEXT! Welcome Madam."

It was my turn to be attended to. I looked up and smiled at the frowning face of a smallie; 

Why would a sales rep be frowning  like this? "Maybe them never pay am salary" I thought to myself. Oh well, he won't use his own to spoil my fine mood;

"Chief daddy ticket for 2 please!"

"N3,500 each, that's N7000. Are you paying with cash or POS?"

Omó my heart stopped small.

Why did they hike the price from the usual 1,500 nah? Kai, Nigerians oo!!! Na Michael Jackson dey d movie (is the movie featuring Michael Jackson)? 3,500 grand from all these people and many more nation wide for a movie? These people don hammer oo (the movie owner has become wealthy)!! See exploitation!! My lawyer mode became activated.

"Madam move to one side please. NEXT!"

I became pissed off; imagine this boy oo! How many movies has he seen since he started working here yet he is giving me attitude! My hard earned N3,500 could buy me 50 CDs of the movie which I could watch at anytime and give away to friends as Christmas gift. 7k would buy that Chinese gown I saw on my way or is it that Law report?...the usually docile arithmetic part of my brain calculated and summed everything up sharply.

Anyways, to support our local content, I paid that fee. What mattered most was that I got to support a good cause, which was better than buying pirated copies.

Valentines day: LOL!!

Don't overthink when I say that I had a great weekend. Surprisingly it was not even as a result of anything extraordinary or one of those expensive sit outs. The fact that I was eager to face a new day after the whole experience got me thinking and reaching out for my device to enable me put my thoughts down and gladly share it with you all.  NIB Special Valentine Season   Feel the Magic Here I have never given much thought to the adage: laughter is the best medicine. With Covid-19 refusing to leave us alone, the tradition of attending comedy events now seems like a suicide mission. Besides, laughing behind a face mask just no make sense.

My white Christmas tale

Hello Nikky, I love the pictures you have been sharing with us this season. But I just want to share this my first experience Of White Christmas with you and everyone. As a teenager, I always loved watching or seeing Hollywood Christmas movies especially on Hallmark movies Channel. Its something I looked forward to every Christmas. The best part was always the part they play in the snow, build snow men or when I hear stuff like; "its white Christmas!" I remember I used to wish we had snow during Christmas in Naija. I would have given anything to convince God to change our yeye harmattan to winter.

Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting. - Napoleon Hill. --------------------- “Stranger? Yesterday? That's impossible. We’ve had none recently. Besides my men would have informed me if anybody came into town.” “Are you trying to say that I'm lying?” “No Sir! You know I respect you a lot, but this info..." Eric faltered but continued immediately; "everybody in this community knows I don’t joke with my job. We dey always know anything wey dey happen for this town! Nothing escapes us.”  He swung around towards the young men standing behind him; “Did any stranger arrive yesterday?”  The men stared blankly at each other before turning back to look at Eric, surprise written all over their faces.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Tony Robbins ________________________________ “Maurice! Maurice I know you can hear me!”   Eric was flanked by a handful of his ferocious looking squad who were dressed in their usual uniform of red and black in multiple designs. It was almost midnight and they were in front of a modern bungalow designed with bricks and surrounded by properly trimmed flowers and shrubs. The space around the house was illuminated by bright lights hanging from the walls of the house and he could see from the open slider windows that it was occupied. Some of his men headed for the backyard while the others took up positions at the sides. They were all wielding clubs and machetes.

Pleasure of love lasts but a moment. Pain of love lasts a lifetime – Bette Davis ---------------------- Maitama, Abuja - David stared at her with unconcealed disappointment and disgust. Why would a mature woman behave like a bitter teenager? So this was what Alex had been tolerating? There was no way he was going to let this slide. Infact she would be considered sick in the brain if she ever thought he was going to ignore her attitude tonight. He slowly went over to the switch board and flipped the light switch on. The room instantly came alive as bright lights flooded in from the designed roof and walls. Tricia blinked and her brow creased.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you’ll find a way to get it  - Jim Rohn ---------------- Ituron community - "He is in there." Boma pointed at the door of a small locally remodeled cottage. A single light bulb was carelessly attached to the wall above the door. It's weak light fought against the pitch darkness of the night which seemed to be edging closer to the mud walls plastered with cement. The men flanked the building. "Are you sure?" Eric's right hand man questioned aggressively while they all glared at the wooden door as if a criminal awaited behind it. "Yes sir! I'm very sure." Boma wiped her running nose with the end of her wrapper. Eric signalled to his men and two of them rushed over and effortlessly broke down the door.  They dove into the house and before long angry and hight pitched voices were heard followed by the noise of struggling.
