However, if I turn a blind eye to these inconsistencies, I would place Baby Farm as one of the most thrilling offerings from the Nigerian film industry. There is a seamlessness to the production that doesn't feel forced. Characters, through the actors, come to life in this
Chioma and Obiora are instantly enamoured of each but after a few dates, her feelings for him start to thaw — not because she's still in love with her ex-boyfriend, Chris, or because she discovers something distasteful about Obiora's past, but for a very silly and flimsy reason: Obiora's Igbo accent.
Two exceptions stand out: Olarotimi Fakunle as the prison warden, Marshal, and Itele D Icon as Suky’s mentor, Ijaya. Fakunle delivers a commanding performance, infusing Marshal with a chilling blend of authority, humour, and menace. His presence looms over Aja Prison, making it clear why lawlessness thrives under his watch.
Morayo is just a nominal dedication with erratic lyrics, jumping between different ideas, moods, and styles. It feels fragmented, thematically reflecting an artist at a crossroads. It oscillates between Wizkid’s penchant for romantic, mellow tendencies and upbeat, danceable tracks. The result is a sonically rich yet thematically inconsistent experience
One remarkable attribute of Fireboy is his ability to blend sublime lyrics with the mundane (Lamba). Throughout the album the lyrics poetically explore the complexities of romantic relationships with a touch of levity. The album is well-sequenced from the opening track to the end, but the smooth transition from “obaa sima” to “need me” is simple yet beautiful.
We live in an era defined by artistic collaboration that defy borders. It’s understandable for an artist to seek international collaborations to broaden his horizons but some of the guest artists on Lungu Boy, though talented on their own, can’t seem to connect with Asake's Lagos street life, especially the Isalẹ Èkó street culture
At its core, All Fours is a humane and sympathetic exploration of aging and menopause, a subject often shrouded in silence and misunderstanding, as if it were something to conceal rather than acknowledge with empathy and honesty.
Dream Count is in continual conversation, capturing the everyday lives of growing individuals and the interconnectedness of friendships. If this was the mission of the author, is it not preposterous to assume that this book has delivered any less?
Adichie’s portrayal of America is unflinching, exposing the contradictions that define the nation. It is a country where police brutality remains rampant, where racial disparities in maternal mortality persist, and where the American Dream is often nothing more than an illusion.

People migrate in different ways too; there are the ones that move with credentials in hand and hope in the pocket – these ones are looking for the fabled greener pastures. Before they set out, they would have probably called a friend to beg for a spot on their couch for a few weeks
