Chris Ihidero Unedited: Nigeria at 53 – Lovesongs for my wasteland

							


			
			
Actually, that’s not entirely true. I know how I feel but I can’t seem to come to terms with the fact that things have come to such a terrible state between us. I’m in an abusive relationship with my country.  I’m the abused and my country my abuser.  For reasons I can’t explain, beyond national pride or patriotism, I’m attracted to my abuser; in fact, it may be said that I am intricately tied to my abuser, perhaps eternally...

NET SPECIAL FEATURE: The most influential people in Nigeria’s entertainment industry

							


			
			
They are artistes, actors, thinkers, entrepreneurs, and captains of industry. Their ideas spark dialogue and dissent and sometimes even controversies; their works shape lives, habits and societies; their actions have led to some of the decisions that have stirred the industry in its current direction. These remarkable men and women, with lasting and laudable influence, do not necessarily make the most poplar people in the industry, but their actions carry a lot of weight; with the hope of the future resting on their shoulders...

MOVIE REVIEW: Heroes and Zeros

							


			
			
Heroes and Zeros is not flawless.  The movie’s plot is not taut.  The introduction of Bisola (Linda Ejiofor) as Tonia Amabibi’s sister in the last 20 minutes of the movie is pointless.  It could have been Tonia (Nadia Buari) directly doing research for her own novel.  That scene, where they grant an interview to Ayoade seems like a frantic attempt at explaining actions.  What better way to tell the audience that Tonia is not really married than for her and the 'arrangee' husband to meet and part ways amicably after the success of their deal!  Show, don’t tell.
