His Bonnie, Her Clyde

He held her hand and ran, blood dripping from where the bullets had hit him.

They kept running with their attackers behind them, him wincing inwardly, his face concocted in pain.

She tugged at his arm, wishing he could see the concern on her face, and allow them stop to rest for a while.

She knew that was impossible, not with the retinue of hitmen chasing after them.

They ran till they got to the River Gyrrekuger.

Her breath caught in her throat as she saw a glimpse of what lay below; rocks and rocks and a large expanse of water.

She looked at the river and back at him.

His response was a single nod.

This time she held his hand firmly, as they both proceeded to jump in to the river, a bullet hit him in his chest, few inches away from his heart.

He staggered forward into the river, pulling her with him.

Down and down they spiralled downwards into the river, his arms wrapped around her, shielding her from sharp rocks and stones, as he collided with them instead.

They both landed in the river with a loud splash, followed by bullet shots trailing them into the river.

Bleeding profusely, he held her as they swam to safety and away from the hitmen.

She tore the helm of her skirt and held in firmly to the wounds to stop the blood flow.

"You are badly hurt. " She said, looking in his eyes with pity.

"I have been through worse. And for you, I won't hesitate to jump through hoops, or go to hell and back. " he replied, taking her lips in his.

She kissed him back feverishly.

There and then, she knew he was not dying anytime soon, he was going to live to fight for her another day.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground. The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it. This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it. Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
