Hollywood ooooo have MERCY!!! TINSEL/ Nollywood take a cue!

 

I was chatting with a friend in America about the current happenings in the series Scandal A.K.A 'The Fixer' on DSTV (by the way its produced by same guys behind Grey's Anatomy...did you know?)  and at a point in the gist I just had to remind her that the couple we are rooting for is actually committing adultery (Ok I'm a bit late with this cos practically every character  on TV is committing fornication *sigh*)  and that brings me to another emotionally engaging series...Beauty and the Beast...this one.... leaves me speechless every time I watch it and TRUST ME...I have watched it again and again and again...I can even recite some lines. It is that bad.
 

Let me digress a little with some of my thoughts in the past months on the concept of racism; see when an African greets a white man/ foreigner with a little more courtesy than he does to his fellow African, I dare say that it is beyond just the perceived superiority of the colour white over black or the concept of a strange accent being something to respect or even the power of their currency being more valuable than ours. No! I dare say it is because of the reservoir of applied intelligence through diligence resulting in repeated success and value that the white man/ foreigner's efforts have added to mankind including the African continent.

Basically what I am trying to say is that the African cannot but respect the white man/ foreigner  because his fore fathers put in the time and effort required to  invent the technology behind even something as basic and value adding as the clothes the African has on his back. Oyinbo dey try....Mbok! Oyinbo na winch.
 
They got people panting after a  whirlwind romance with a guy who turns into a beast when he is upset! ROTFL ...power of psychology which is the secret weapon Hollywood will forever have over the world!
 
Nollywood/ Tinsel and other soap operas who want to stay relevant and conquer the world; please take note... maybe you need to invest in  a psychologist among  your team of script writers.
 
Don't just write for writing sake...write to hit a nerve, to make an impact, to influence society, to invoke emotions...anger, passion, love, addiction, repentance, change...whatever... but don't just write for just writing sake. Stay on the edge! Push the envelope!

 A wise man that came into my world recently made a statement I have been mulling over for a while now, he said; "Don't just play to participate, Play to WIN!"  
 
Long Live The Nigerian Entertainment Scene *Amen*

May God forgive Olivia Pope and President Fitz... If it were Nollywood, the first lady should have invited some prayer warriors to the White House by now naaa and Olivia should have revealed her native doctor that is behind  her continuous ability to do the impossible and her ability to secure the love of Mr President. She would have shown us where she keeps her jazz by now and the reason why she wears white a lot.

As for Beauty and the Beast, they both should have gone for deliverance by now.

Come to think of it I think we are more imaginative O jare...Lol!
