Rihanna Interview...and people's reactions....WTF???!!!

I just got off this website and I am LIVID!!!!!! FAAAAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

ok sorry, had to get that out. I watched the rihanna interview and was very moved. I could see that she was very guarded and was holding back alot but I think, she was as honest as she needed to be. Because quite frankly, what she went through was very profound and most people will not talk about it to anyone.

So I was very disappointed to see a few comments on the interview. Chris Brown fans or rihanna haters went on and on about how shes milking the publicity because her album's coming out soon and how she's so fake and she did not tell the full story. hmph!!!! trust me, i had to leave a comment directed at those ignorant idiots! Make sure you check it out!lol I was so mad.

Firstly, I meant it when I said I have never been a Rihanna fan. I really believe her voice is very nasal and just nothing so fantastic to warrant the attention she gets. I mean I'm sure I can belt out way better than her in my shower sessions.lol AND i have always loved Chris Brown's songs but I'm sorry, once I heard about the incident, I was very shocked and disappointed.

So it pains me....actually I lie, it fucking pisses me off when people say stuff like Rihanna's a shit singer anyways...or she probably deserved what she got....or she must have done something to provoke him...or how could she rat him out like that. That is BULLSHIT!!! Chris Brown did a horrible and cowardly thing and should be getting negative publicity right now...not her. I watched the Larry King interview as well, and Chris Brown was, clearly, still in denial about the whole thing. He didn't answer questions directly and was constantly beating around the bush. When Larry asked if Rihanna had ever pressed charges before this incident, he did not deny that he had been violent. He just repeatedly said "charges were never pressed" before. and rihanna admits that he had pushed her against a wall before. I don't hate Chris Brown and do not think he should be killed or whatever either. I think he needs help and needs to acknowledge what he did instead of writing songs and trying to get riri back and banking on people's sympathy votes. I just hope he gets better.

Anyways, all this is pointless cos It doesn't matter what the material facts are. The main point is he hit her and people have no right to dictate how she should have reacted. I cannot believe that people are talking about how she's using this as a publicity stunt and how she's a bitch.....like shut the fuck up!.... seriously and get educated.....people need to think clearly and stop considering things that are irrelevant. so what if she was not very open in the interview? she's a human being and it's normal to be closed when ure vulnerable....and she deserves some privacy....

I am so angry right now! and seriously, if you're thinking about commenting and saying stuff like she deserved it or (insert similar bullshit here), your comment will be deleted. Comments for this post are for educated individuals who are willing to face the facts and be compassionate at the same time.

Thanks...have a lovely day.xx

Nollywood!

In general, and I may be shooting myself in the foot by saying this, I really despise Nigerian movies. I'm Nigerian most def and proudly Nigerian but I cannot stand our movies. Maybe its the poor script where the scenes are either overly dramatized and the acting is too rehearsed and too exaggerated or simply not plausible.

Or maybe its the fact that a very scanty script is stretched over two to three parts. I mean really, does the camera really have to focus on the car driving all the way to the village when the dirt road or the steering wheel or the driver are of no relevance to the plot?

Or maybe it's the fact that the directors / producers are really cheap. I mean its really sad when they portray a party at a wealthy guy's house and the main course is indomie and the guests look like old, uneducated men who suffer from malnutrition. I dunno....it grates me.

So about two weeks ago, my best friend suggested we watch a nigerian movie whilst we were having a sleepover. As you can imagine, I was not pleased and tried (very hard) to persuade her to watch something else. It didn't work though especially since another naija babe came in and supported her so I was like, whatever....FINE...

We browsed around for new movies and saw the preview of HEART OF MEN which is a Ghanaian production and boy was I surprised. I mean usually love scenes in our movies are pathetic. Even in non-passionate scenes, the actors are always so rigid and it just looks so fake. I never buy it. So you can imagine my surprise when I saw a breast.....YES a bare breast and a guy's buttocks and actual real kissing. The murder scenes looked really interesting too. I was in shock for a long ass time. I'm not saying that we need to get naked to make a good movie but its refreshing to see that directors and actors are willing to take more risks and are concentrating on ensuring that the scrips are less predictable and more believable. I was impressed. But hey...it's just a preview so lets wait till the movie comes out. In the meantime check out a snippet of the full preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwNhDLelwKk  

What do you guys think? I mean some of my friends think its disgusting. Some stuff about how it's immoral and shit but as far as I'm concerned, these things do happen. People do have sex and kill and steal in Africa so I think our films should accurately represent what happens and not shy away from telling it like it is for the sake of "modesty".

Have a great day.xx

Emotionless

When I was about seven or eight years old, my older (then fifteen year old) cousin came to sleep over at mine. I remember after eating jollof rice, bathing reluctantly and saying our prayers, my cousin and I climbed into my bed. She and I had never been close and so after a few minutes talking about bullshit we started to fall asleep. A few minutes later i felt her hand clasp mine and to my surprise, she guided my hand cautiously under her night gown to her vagina. I let out a startled gasp and pulled my hand away, my heart beating furiously. I knew what she had done was bad. I didn't know why at the time, I just knew it. Instinctively, I pulled the hand to my nose and inhaled. It smelt strange, almost damp. We slept in silence. She never touched me again.

I wish I could say that that event had a profound effect on my life but it didn't. It didn't make me suspicious, or anxious or slightly depressed. It didn't make me not trust guys either. I mean any jadedness I possess is purely due to failed relationships. Was I freaked out? yes. Did I know it was wrong? Certainly. But after a few days, I didn't give it another thought. Life went on as usual. In fact, I had forgotten about the incident until I saw said cousin at my grandmother's memorial service two weeks ago. It was my mum's teasing about how she would soon be bringing a suitor that had triggered the flashback.

I wondered if she remembered. Actually I knew she must remember. I wondered if she thought about it every time she saw me and if she felt guilty, embarassed, or simply didn't give a fuck. Is that why we were never close? I don't know how I feel. If I heard that such a thing had been done to my little sister, I'd kill the motherfucker but I'm not even angry about it. What does that mean? Don't tell me I'm in denial because I'm dead serious when I say it has not affected me. What do you guys think?
