"Akinola's autofiction radiates simplicity and intentionality, two features that are largely absent in Nollywood's recent film history..." For @buffedfilmbuffs, I shared my brief thoughts on Akinola Davies Jr.'s fine debut. Read and, of course, go see. buffedfilmbuffs.com/post/my-father…

No other footballer in the world is microanalysed and talked about this way. The comments are disgusting. This is not normal.

"...an incredibly accurate portrait of a significant moment in Nigerian history, told beautifully through a simple, familial story that evokes a rollercoaster of emotions. Certainly one of the best films of the year." #MyFathersShadow My ★★★★★ review boxd.it/b7meml

"One of"? If there is any film in Nigerian history that is more brilliant than My Father's Shadow, I would love to see it right now.

I would have regretted my entire existence if I didn’t get these pictures with Akinola Davies Jr. at My Father’s Shadow premiere. So glad I was forced to take them.

Stuff like these don't amaze me. Miracles certainly do not happen. The world and the humans in it are just as beautiful as they are cruel.

Decided to post this. An Achievement that means so much to me as I had written it as one of my goals last year as part of my coursework for my Masters. I was able to revise some parts of my dissertation and submit it for publication.

@Vickionic @uzoart Another film was released this year titled OWAMBE THIEVES and no one said anything, but because she's Igbo. The whole thing is ridiculous.

The attacks towards @uzoart are so ridiculous because just 2 years ago, Kayode Kasum, an indigenous Lagosian, made one of Nigeria's most celebrated films about Igbo culture in Áfàméfùnà: An Nwa Boi Story (2023) and there wasn't a single complain about 'cultural appropriation'.
