Darling Lyonga: It’s easier for a Camel 🐫 to go through the eye of a needle 🪡 than for a Nigerian to accept their flaws.

Have you ever acted or shoot a film. Omo African try to talk. Bad on Nigeria yet they can do anything. Well your preview is your opinion and I respect that.
Chinnie: How many Cameroonian movies have made it way to Netflix before?
We have various awesome Nollywood movies on Netflix, which includes The Covenant. If you want to talk about any movie industry in Africa that’s still very far behind, you should face your people squarely! Some of your actors are finding their way into Nollywood.

Peretobou: I haven’t watched it but as far as Zubby Michael is there, the film no go make sense. If you like insult me. Zubby Michael He’s the only Nigerian actor that doesn’t die in movies after committing atrocities.
Olufemi: When you are likable, people take you seriously serious… But, when you can’t even be a critique responsibly, then your value begins to compete on a ” free-fall”…No matter how much you talk about Nigeria now, when people see your name, they just kiss their teeth.
Kelly: I beg to differ,every actor brought their a – game the series was a master piece,evey character knows their onions, am sure you don’t want to argue with that.
Williams: I’ve never seen or hear you talk about other countries in Africa except Nigeria, that’s to say that Nigeria is the reason why you’re relevant and still existing on social media.

Edwin: Facts! Worse of it is, it’s an all star cast, with very wonderful and outstanding actors like Gideon Okeke, Zubby Michael, Sola Sobowale, Bimbo Manuel, Ivie Okujaiye and a lot of orders but before u realize u will either get bored or sleep while watching the miniseries.
Though some pple may disagree and counter ur arguments they will rather come for u with insults📌
David: Netflix should just employ you so that you’ll be telling them Which one is good enough to be on netflix.
Fineland: Darling Lyonga Official you just want to clout chase and gain highlight by dragging Nigeria.
This is a good Film after all. And I can’t remember you being a Film critique.

Adeogun: I am beginning to dislike your podcast, are Cameroonians not doing movies you can criticise?
I am beginning to wonder the reasons behind your podcast weather it is for constructive reviews or to gain followers?. You cannot base your podcast on Nigeria alone we are not the only country in movie industry in Africa.
Edwin: The biggest problem in Africa is the inability for pple to accept constructive criticism and not take it personally.
Nigerian 🇳🇬 is today the bedrock of African entertainment and they’re doing soo well facts!. This doesn’t mean everything they put out is good or best, there are some flops and flaws here and there.
If someone like @Darling Lyonga tries to say their opinion without insulting pple, I find it childish and ignorant for others to start going for their jugular, insulting them instead of trying to look at the bigger picture here.
@Darling Lyonga just gave her take on this particular movie. This doesn’t takeaway the power from Naija nor imply there are no great naija movies on Netflix, prime, In Cinema or other platforms 🤔 🤦♂️.
Cry and insult as much as u can, facts don’t care about your feelings ok📌……. let’s be guided.
Gideon: This one e be like say you wan go hungry ba, you are biting the finger that is feeding you.
If Nigerians leave your page na komkom you go start to dey pick for street of Cameroon. You better be diplomatic and constructive in your criticisms.
Daniel: If it’s not Nigerian movies, it’s Ghanian movie or South African movies.
Is this the only countries in Africa? What happened to Cameroon movies?
I’m sure there are 1000+ of trash Cameroonian movies. 😅
Kehinde: You keep criticizing Nollywood movies for the past few weeks now, so don’t be surprise if Nigerians comes for you by losing all your social media accounts.
Blade: So instead of you people to take corrections and do better, most of you are here trying to bash her abi?
Nollywood needs to do better abeg. I’m a proud Nigerian but I don’t watch Nollywood movies because of this particular butchery or movies.

Awuru: I’m sure majority of the people dragging this lady hasn’t watch the movie yet they feels everything about us should be applauded.
