We cannot afford another 4 years with Tinubu. We absolutely cannot. He and his entire administration have nothing to offer us.

I mean if he's brave enough he could have tagged the person seeing as she's very active on this site.

Me that told myself I won’t be going out again. Last quarter of the year in Lagos will humble you. I should have run to London like last year.

A brood of haters with zero cultural relevance. A circus constantly egged on by some agbayas amongst us.

We all know a certain filmmaker who radicalized that club into the vile terrorists they’ve become and constantly validated them into thinking becoming haters is a better strategy than the way they started out.

You can disagree with things and not be silly. Everyone doesn’t have to like what you like… I loved the SNL parody, but people are allowed not to like it too. What are these rubbish takes?

Critics are not the problem, They are part of the system. The problem is people cosplaying as critics just to be vile.

Nollywood Twitter abegggggg! Please can the people that do Nollywood roundtable get critics and film makers on a table? Is there a way to involve critics throughout the process of making films down to distribution? I’m really tired with all these takes. It’s annoying!

If you disagree with me and you engage me like a human being, we will have a conversation. If you insult me, I will insult your parents and block you immediately. I don’t negotiate with terrorists.
