MOVIE REVEIW: MAN OF GOD

Firstly, this is one of the wackiest movie I have seen this year. Great cinematography, aesthetics was wow but very rubbish story line. I dont understand why we waste huge money on nonsense just to feel among. It seems to me that the money that went into the production of this movie was stolen because if it was worked for it will be put in good use. I kept waiting for the breakthrough in the movie, like when the movie is going to pick up but before it got there the movie ended. I should just drop my pen here but I don't want people to come for me asking what movie I have written.

The movie started with a pastor in church praying while his little boy sneaked out to play with his friends during the prayer session, the pastor followed him out and beat the devil out of him. It was shown to us that Samuel suffered abuse from him father and his mother tried to mediate between both party while urging Samuel to also obey his father. This is what most African mother do instead of focusing on their husbands that is abusing the kids, they beg the kids to clip their wings and they expect to see results.

Few years later, Samuel was seen chopping the life of his head on campus. He his now an artiste leading song bands and dealing in drugs like a prodigal child that he always wanted to be. He had a friend Teju and his girlfriend Rekya. Teju is a Church goer and a childhood friend and also helps with his class work while Rekya is not only his girlfriend, his backup singer and they deal in drugs together.

One day he met with Joy, Teju's girlfriend and he fell in love with her at first sight. Joy is also a church goer like Teju and this made Samuel attend church because of Joy. When Teju discover that Samuel might be having feelings for Joy, she got jealous and left them. 

Rekya on the other hand got a big drug contract and dropped out of school, bought a house and left the country which made Samuel and Joy bonded well without anybody disturbing them. Joy church pastor however warned Joy of her association with Samuel which made their relationship shaky but they got back together after a while till graduation. Samuel couldn't graduate because he had some carryover and Joy graduated and stopped communication with Samuel. Samuel sent a lot of emails to joy before he approach their church pastor and he was told Joy had gotten married to someone else.

This got Samuel devastated, disappointed and depressed. I guess he loved her so much to have such effect on him. Teju came back into the picture to come clean him up and help him graduate and before we knew it, they got married and Samuel became a gospel singer for their church. I must add here that since Samuel left home for the Uni, he has never gone back home but he had the audacity to get married. Men doing big things.

A rumour started in the Church Samuel was ministering as a Gospel singer that he have sex with ladies in the church and he was told he would be investigated, this annoyed Samuel and he left home for Teju because She didn't believe the allegations were untrue. Samuel being a man took the best route to leave home for her. He came back and Rekya reached out to him. They reunited and Rekya sold him the idea of him owning his church so he can make more money. He bought it and lied to Teju that he was called by God to start his own church.

They became pastor and pastor Mrs in no time and had a lot of congregation. Its a youth church so it is expected. Church was booming, money was coming in and Rekya was supporting financially while having sex in return. One day an enveloped was delivered to Teju which contain an abortion slip or whatever, something implicating Samuel though and teju decided to keep it and live life like normal.

On one of Samuel break as a pastor, his younger brother came from the village to tell him his mother died and his father has been waiting for him to come back for years. he reprimanded Samuel and Samuel apologised but it was a fake apology. Joy also came back to the picture with her husband and the duo were surprised to how things have took turn in their lives.

Feelings came back and they hung out but Joy was committed to her husband even though her husband had killed her dreams in one way or the other. Samuel wanted to take advantage of that and asked for them to leave the country together since they were both unhappy in their marriage.

Samuel kept making papers while hoping that Joy agrees to travel out with him till one day Teju was looking for a document and stumbled on the Canadian papers, at the same time Samuel  received a call that Rekya died. He was very sad and Teju confronted him with her discovery. He didnt deny it and he said he did that because he was tired of life and want to try out another country.

Teju was angry and she said she will deal with him. She went to the police with the envelope that was implicating Samuel and Police came for his arrest and the rest they say is history. We were not shown but they he indicated that he went to prison and he later came home to his father and father's church.

The End.

This is how disjointed the movie was, for a movie in this century with such title, they were just taking us round in circles. The title should have been prodigal child because the movie was telling us more about what preacher kids go through and if they had worked with such story line, it would have been better at least to project to viewers and parent what pastor's children go through. Its fine though as I would be rating the movie a 3/10 for efforts and the aesthetics and I am rating Samuel an 8/10 for his acting, He really blended well in the movie.

Have you seen it?

Tell me your concerns and observation, what will you be rating it?

Let us talk.

OF COURSE I F0CKED UP.

 Who never f0ck up, hands in the air.

 No hands?

This is the song on every body lips these days, Kwaku the traveller by Black sherif. My love for for music will make me say its a good song, it has a relatable lyrics and send you back to the realization of stupid things you have done in the past. 

We are quick to judge other peoples choices even when have a lot of piled up mistakes in our sleeves and that why the Bible said 'remove the log in your own eyes before the spec in your brother's eyes'. Any little mistake of other people, we are already bashing them while calming you cant be found in such situation but you have had unprotected sex with a stranger without carry out medical test on each other but because someone played away match that results to pregnancy, you are judging. 😎😎

I have f0cked up and still f0cking up because we cant learn without f0cking up. Most of our parent also f0cked up by giving birth to us, our friends f0cked up by investing in ponzi scams. Look around you and yourself, there is still some f0ck up you are still in, some you have learned, some it will take a long period 'before your eyes clear'

Let me chip in here, getting your degree when you can afford it or having a willing sponsor but you choosing not to is not f0ck up. You are plainly stupid. Sponsoring anyone that is not your child in the name of love to get an education while the only official certificate to your name is your birth certificate is not f0ck up, its being stupid

If you are sick and you are told to give your body rest by not eating some certain food and you go ahead and have them because you have faith, your condition get worse. You didn't f0ck up, you just wan die

There is a thin line between f0ck up and stupidity. When you are ignorant about something or you don't have the information, that can be classified as f0ck ups but having and knowing things that will benefit your life and not make efforts to use them is stupidity. 

Smokers are liable to die young

Alcohol should not be sold to person under the age of 18, Drink responsibly

Too much of everything is bad

Save money for raining days

These are some of the tips information that is easily accessible for people both home and abroad, If you know this and not discipline yourself and end up with consequences in 10years time, you didn't f0ck up, you are just reaping what you sew 'as e dey hot'

I'm seeing different girls and boys using the song to go apologise to their good ex partner, especially those shitty ones that their partner had to give testimony in church when they left. If you made that good person give up on love because of your toxic behaviour, you didn't f0ck up, you are maad.. You were intentionally hurting them so please leave them alone and let them breath.

I have fucked up severally on things I didn't know and I have learnt my lesson when I realized Where I did f0ck up and if you know you are like me, the first thing is forgiving and reconciling with yourself, write down what you could have done better and work on them. In no time you will be fine.

Life is a teacher, the more we live the more we learn. 

I will leave you with 2face- U no holy.

HAPPINESS IS A MYTH.

'Clap along, if  you know what happiness means to you'

 Do what makes you happy, they say but they will still want to project their definition of happiness on you.

Happiness is what ever makes you happy. We have a lot of societal conditioning where people believe if you don't have some sort of achievement at a certain age then you can never be happy while forgetting assumption is the father of all fuckups. LOL

I have never paid any bill even down to my buying my under-wears while growing up and now that I am single and can afford to pay my bills, it makes me happy just being a responsible adult plus when I see good food my joy is filled. I also want more from life but that does not mean that I am unhappy where I am. 

I have friends that have achieved more than i have in terms of what the society call achievements (cars, houses, marriage, kids etc.) but because I don't have those yet doesn't invalidate my happiness.

For some, happiness is affording 3square meals while some Vacation, shopping at high end stores, living in Nigeria, having their family, seeing their family comfortable, Good health, change of wardrobe, hanging out with friends, owning a pair of good shoes and clothes, migrating, promotion at work, good sex, watching their family achieve a milestone, etc.

I remember my dad always coming home with ;Brighter Grammar' and just watch me read, It makes him happy. He would rather save money to buy me books to improve my vocabulary than take me out for Ice-cream, the Irony there is we are only permitted to read in English not communicate in it. 

While my mum made sure we wore the best among our peers no matter how much it cost, she would get it. It makes her happy that we were able to stand out among our peers. However happiness is different from responsibilities and vices. Lets get that out of the way. 

When my friends discuss with me, the first thing I want to know is if it makes them happy no matter how stupid their decisions are because I understand that their definition of happiness is different from mine. 

I tell most people that I am not interested in saving up money to own an apartment, I will rather spend my money vacationing and knowing new place instead of tying it down somewhere because the society thinks if your mates are achieving and you are not then you will be miserable. 

I grew up in our own apartment and I guess that's why owning a house doesn't matter to me, I am also never telling someone that want to own their house that they are unhappy for wanting that. Happiness differs, what makes me happy might just be basic to you plus what make one happy last year may change this year.

Life is a teacher, whatever we achieve here on earth is what will remain when we are gone.

My definition of happiness is, seeing my immediate family in good health, taking pictures of my fine self and I'm working towards being famous, I really don't care about anything else. I just want to be known before I leave this earth so that I can collect my flowers while I am sill here.

Happiness is cheap as long as you are true to yourself, I repeat 'YOURSELF'. We cannot all achieve all we want before we die, we would lack in some and have excess in some, so calm down and enjoy the ones you have achieved, be happy in that instead of being sad  with the one you are lacking.

Sometimes, I tell myself if Nolly-wood movies are real where one will die and the spirit leaves the body to stand by it side, would I be laughing that I prioritize my happiness or would I be regretting that I lived for the validation of others instead of doing things that makes me happy.

I am admonishing you today to go out there and work towards all that makes you happy without neglecting your responsibilities because at the end of it all, You are the only one that got you. I don't want you to grow older when you are fragile and regret not doing this that makes you happy.

I would leave you with Pharrell Williams-Happy.

Be kind to let me know those little things that makes you happy in the comment box.

I love you.

THE DANGERS OF LIVING ALONE

 I would like to specially greet those of us that live alone, It isn't easy. A lot of us have a way of masking it as the best thing after salvation but I would not recommend till you are 27years old. I am not talking about living alone as a student, the taste is actually difference and the difference is in the taste. I am talking of living alone as a responsible individual.

I wish I read an article like this before I made decision of leaving my parent to stay alone and even if I stumbled on something like this, I would still go ahead on my decision because 'I get coconut head and I no dey hear word'

Living alone can actually make you lazy and very comfortable because here you are, not accountable to anybody. You are very close to be reckless and useless living alone, the only thing that can help you is your background. If you grew up with a 'train up a child the way he should go' you may avoid being reckless by a wing.

The first thing that comes to mind when people want to start living alone or hear you are living alone is FREEDOM. Freedom to do what you want, having only you to organize your life, go out and come back whenever you like, invite friends and party over night. Just do anyhow you like. What people fail to understand is that FREEDOM comes with its prize and the prize is mostly the emotional aspect of living alone. 

Wait, you don't know?

Have you ever been drenched in rain and expecting to come home to someone/anyone that could just lighten your burden/mood and you open your door to an empty apartment where you are still responsible for yourself.

I remember staying with my parent in that situation, my mum or my sister would have welcomed me with a dry towel, collect my bags and help me unpack and I would also have hot food waiting for me but I threw that care away for freedom.

Have you ever been in a dark moment and even if you didn't open your mouth to say anything, people around you would sense that you are not okay and If they are not asking, they are helping you lightening your mood in the little way they can. Living alone won't give you such liberty, when you are in the dark, you have only you to lighten your mood and for most people they just commit suicide because they believe that's the easiest way out. 

Living alone largely affects ones mental health and I am talking from experience. Most of us living alone can stay for days without physically talking to people except for work reason and no matter how we deny It we need people, we can't do it all by ourselves. Human rely on each other for survival and this is one of the reasons we get married 'companionship'

You may know some people very wicked and aggressive and when the eventually get married, they tune that part of them down because they now have someone they can pour out their heart to instead of holding it all in everyday. 

Bills is also one part that people don't talk about on this topic. Splitting bills is so cheap especially when you do it with someone responsible, Living alone is actually expensive and that means, you have to pay for light bills, buy groceries, pay internet bills, repair things in the house by yourself or call someone to do it, and calling someone to repair stuff in your house as a lady is another risk on its own. Men are just out there wanting to take advantages of women. I would be writing how I was molested by my gen repairer on this blog soon.

If you are sexually active too, I would advice you have a sexual stable partner because living alone can afford you  making wrong decision when it comes to sexual partners.

Living alone is not something that i would not advise to be practised for long because anything after 5 years, it would be very hard to adjust back to living with human.

The things I love about living alone is the part that I can make decisions by myself, I can fail, wail and re-strategize without people judgement of me, I can succeed and celebrate in my corner, I am deaf to people expectation of me and just do me, I am 24hours my me time.

Living alone is actually what made me start this blog and It doesn't matter if I fail or succeed at it, I am just glad I have something to keep me busy while I struggle with life by the side.

 Apart from the boredom that comes with living alone, Living alone is a 50-50 thing and one could die without being discovered for days. Sometimes I always think about what would happen If I slip in the bathroom and pass out or have an health emergency without help. I do take care or myself to avoid being a victim but it could happen and that's the end.

I would advice to live alone if you don't have any chronic health issues, If you are asthmatic please do not try it or make sure you are a people's person so that you can always have people looking for you. For someone like me that are not people's person, lets take care of our health and on days we can, we should socialize and talk to people as much as we can so we can have that space covered in our lives.
