Somebody Should Tell The Nollywood Director This...
T4T stumbled into this rather funny piece online during the week. Funny as it came across, it is also very revealing, about the ‘ artmanship’ of Nollywood producer, Director and actor, Ugezu J Ugezu.
The author of this piece is however unknown:
“Once you put on your Decoder, And you see ‘ Ugezu J Ugezu scripted and directed on any movie’, 1st step, go back into your room and get your pillow.
2nd step, make food and bring to the sitting room.
3rd step, get ready to learn your history because that maiden of Agbalanze kingdom will meet the Prince of Ugwuagama and then the Priestess of Echieteka will send them to Mkporogu forest to get the eye of Akwaeze to break the curse placed on them by Udele- gba- Ola and finally your five hours will be well spent.”
The above is everything you need to know about the producer. His movies are always a one- way traffic. See one, see all! T4T had an experience early last year. He woke up around 6 am, tuned to the Epic channel on Pay TV and one of his films was on. T4T left the film still showing around 8am, went for a meeting and came back around 1pm, that same film was still showing! Haba!
It is high time someone told Ugezu that he is losing it!
It is always a maiden should be sacrificed to the gods for the community to have peace or the king ( Igwe) must marry the slave girl for him to have an heir to the throne or, or, or... wetin?
Where Do They Get Airport Flight Announcers?
T4T nearly missed his flight recently and not because he arrived late at the airport. There has been this complaint about flight announcers at our airports. Comedians have made them the butt of their jokes over time, but it seems they have sworn to an oath never to turn a new leaf.
And so T4T had a first hand experience of what many people had suffered in the hands of these fellas. The appointed time for the flight had come and gone, T4T was still waiting. Meanwhile, this announcer had been mouthing some inaudible words and mentioning the destination of T4T. But only God and the announcer knew exactly what she was saying.
Frustrated, T4T had to go to the information desk and lo and behold, the flight was almost ready for take off!
Now, who told these announcers that they must use this funny, heavily accented English in announcing flights at Nigerian airports? Maybe, FAAN should instruct these guys to be using local languages in announcing flights. Their accented English is not only irritating, it is also incoherent and nonsensical.
That Yoruba Movie
T4T was watching a Yoruba movie titled ‘ Ega’ on Monday evening.
Directed by Wasiu Owoiya, featuring Ibrahim Chatta, Esther Adesunloye, among others, it got to a scene in the movie where a house maid was sent to deliver 500, 000 cash to the friend of the madam. The recipient of the money was aghast that her friend could trust the maid with such a huge amount and decided to take it up with her.
The madam assured her friend that her maid was trust worthy and would not abscond with her money. This was what the person who wrote the subtitle wrote: “I usually ‘ sends’ her with ‘ huger’ amounts...” Jesu!
T4T was not too bothered about the ‘ sends’ in the comment, but ‘ huger’? How did the person arrive at the word ‘ huger’? How? Anyway sha, na Yoruba film na.
