Remember last week when I put up a movie review about Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor. Well, I was going through my Google Reader when I came across a post on Single Black Male. The author, Dr. J did not like the movie – who can blame him – and he listed five reasons for not liking the movie. One of the reasons was: “Tyler needs a lesson about rape.” Apparently, the first sex scene between Judith {Read More}
The actual movie title is Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor. I saw the movie on Easter Sunday with my friends, and well, I was disappointed. Read on, no spoilers, I promise. So there was quite a hype and an excitement with this movie, and who can blame them? The preview looked good. I really feel bad for saying this because I do like Tyler Perry and I especially respect his story (the way he came from nothing {Read More}
I did not realize until we saw the movie that the name is actually Django Unchained. Everyone (or most people) just call it Django. First of all, how was your Christmas? On Christmas Day, Igwe and I did not do much. It was a lazy day, felt like Saturday. There was no work, stores were closed, eyes were drowsy. You get the point. He managed to cook some potatoes for himself that morning, and he has not let me hear {Read More}
Location: 1000 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21202 Date Visited: Sunday, January 22nd 2012 He and I are fond of going to random places, just for the heck of it. And with the birth of GroupOn and Living Social, experimenting has gotten that much easier. So, sometime last week, he bought a five-course meal coupon from GroupOn for Milan Restaurant. Neither of us had ever eaten there. Two years ago, I was there to honor a friend’s birthday dinner invitation, but {Read More}
Let me not lie to you. When I started reading this book, I thought it had a slow start. But I kept reading nonetheless. Also, I frequently forgot to check the date of the chapter I was reading: 1999 or 2009? And so, I found myself getting a bit confused and having to go back and forth to remember what year the time machine of this book had taken me to. But that didn’t last for long at all.
I’ve never really read a book like this. But when Ekene Onu gave me her book – even before it hit the market – I was honored [and giddy!]. After answering the question that the title of the book asks, “Can I Be Real?” I attacked the words, head on. Or eyes on. A book with 82 pages. It’s not huge. You can read it all in one sitting, but the lessons, if you let them, will last forever. Ekene {Read More}
Relationships, health, spirituality, culture shock, family, career. These are a few of the things that Folake Taylor, MD addresses in her book, The Only Way Is Up. If you know me, even only a little bit, then you’d know that my most interesting chapter was the one about relationships. They [relationships] are so dynamic. So complicated. So intricate. And so, so rewarding — all things being equal.
When I got this book, I was terrified. The two hundred and fifty-five pages, the title of the book (Oil, Politics, and Violence), and what seemed like a smaller than normal font that hugged the white pages, it all terrified me. When will I finish this book? The book wasn’t about fictional characters with dynamic personalities. It wasn’t a book with a plot full of suspense or drama. It was a book based on facts. Political facts. Nigerian political facts. {Read More}
Edward, Edward, Edward. Edward is a character that a lot of women may have met (and probably disliked). He’s a man who’s got it all: money, looks, some fame — and an icy cold heart toward love. But somewhere in that icy cold heart is a volcano of love, just waiting to erupt. So, maybe he’d rather fall in love without involving his emotions … what gives? People don’t just become this way. Edward did not just become this way. {Read More}
Feddie Girl is a book set in U.S.A and Nigeria. Anyone can read and enjoy this book, but if you went to school in Nigeria, then you really need to read this book. If you went to a boarding school in Nigeria, you really, really need to read this book. If you went to an all-girls federal government college in Nigeria, then don’t even bother reading this review. Just go ahead and buy the book right now.
