Honey Moon Movie Reviews


I had totally given up on our Naija movies refusing to pay them any attention but after a while of watching American I was offered some African movies from an Ardent watcher and I decided to try them out. I found them quite relaxing and for now I have kind of incorporated the Nigerian Movie 'thingie' into my entertainment. It is sad when I get five new ones and hate the half baked attempt at entertainment. I took a friends advice, 'watch a really nice one after a terrible Nigerian movie it is the only way to remove the bad taste from your mouth'. I have hence watched a few. For this reason I will go ahead maybe not exactly rate the movies but just say if you wanted some Movies to relax with during your honey moon then try these. They are recommended not as honeymoon storylines but because they were as it were, well written, the scenes actually flow and they give an overall taste of good entertainment.

Figurine: Starring: Kunle Afolayan (Producer), Ramsey Noah
B+ for suspense and a wonderful story tracing two fresh graduate friends in Nigeria vying for the love of a classmate. The Youth Service Corp(NYSC) is actually as portrayed. Ramsey Noah at his best

Guilty pleasures: Starring: Ramsey Noah, Nse Edom

B Ramsey Noah is in this one too. Totally gaining my respect and Nse Edom too. Shows how a man's insecurities make him push the one he loves into the arms of another man.



Reloaded: Van Vicker, Uche Jumbo, Ini Edo, Desmond Elliot, Stephanie Okereke, Rita Dominic
C I think this movie tries to trace in the lives it follows, what makes a man cheat. Basically, man cheats, man gets caught

Entanglement: Desmond Elliot, Francis Duru, Yemi Blaq, Mercy Johnson, Uche Jumbo, Ngozi Ezeonu
C Wish they had left its title as entangled. The story actually flows. It traces church sisters as they go through the ups and many downs of their relationships with each other and the men in their lives.

Live to remember: Mercy Johnson, Ini Edo, Mike Ezurounye
C I love the palatable African scenes. No doubt it grabs you and takes you believably back home. A tale of two sisters' that desire to stay together till death do them part. Mercy Johnson and Ini Edo are sisters whose parents are dead, thus driving their determination to stay together forever, even pushing them to marry the same man. Will it last?

A woman's honor
C Many seem to love this movie. It is worth the time you give to see it. It is well acted. Tells you where a father's heart should never go.
Sorry no rating at this time for poor movies(too many!!) maybe next time. If you do have a honeymoon to plan whether you are travelling or it would be a staycation, you could collect some of these while you shop. For your sake I hope to extend the list. See more reviews at www.fabnaija.com

As you prepare to wed, wed or stay married. I wish you Love.

Ten Ways to Lose a Naija Babe!








Will you date a guy who asks you to split the bill on a first date?yes



Quantcast

So I started out this article about the ten ways to lose a Naija babe in one date. Last time was about mentioning the whole cooking thing. Of course, I understand that one man's or in this case one woman's meat is another's poison so it's just fine if you are just thrilled by a guy who does the things I think are annoying.

Today, I'll talk about two ways so we can move this along. The rest will come in due time.
Our first way: ask her to split the bill. ahahahaa. There is pretty NO and I repeat NO naija babe I've ever met who thinks this is ok. It's just not in our DNA.

There's no such thing. When we become all civilized in western culture, we expect equal treatment in every way from men, but not from a man we are dating. No matter what you read in other western articles, this just does not apply with Nigerian ladies. If you take a Naija babe out, get the bill. In fact, insist on paying even she asks to split the bill.

If she insists on paying, you can assume (usually accurately) that she has no plan to see you again. The ONLY time I insist on paying is when I'm done and I don't want to feel like I took something from the guy when I had no plan to date him. (Some girls feel differently and will continue to take from a guy they have no intention to date……To each his own).
Here's another way to lose a Naija babe: Ask her to marry you on the first date, then get upset when she'd like some time to think about it.

Ok, this one is a major pet peeve. I'm sure if you're this really cool gift to heaven and earth kind of guy, I'll be really honored by your proposal even though it's probably ill-timed – coming on the first date and all. HOWEVER, it might actually help if I have a chance to at least get to know you. The most annoying variation of this or more like laughable has to be the guy who looked at me with shock when I mentioned that I'd like some time to think about his first date proposal.

Like seriously dude, you really should not be asking a girl you just met to marry you -with the exception of course of someone like me who just oozes the "God's gift to man signal." But all jokes aside, even if you crazily decide to ask her, surely you can't get upset when she'd like some time to think about it.
