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.

King Of Swazi chooses Wife, Publicly Test Girls' Virginity As They Dance Naked. (Photos)

A common tradition in Swaziland (Swazi) permits the King, Mswati, to choose a new bride every year. This is done in a festival named Swazi Reed Dance Festival where girls are paraded and tested publicly to know their virginity status. It has been a long time tradition in Swaziland and not the first time this controversial issue is making it into the news. Although, many consider this barbaric and backward, it’s a tradition the people willingly embrace as the aim is to help King Mswati choose a wife. As part of Swazi custom and norms, that time of the year has come, when the King chooses his bride and again, he has reportedly tested some of the volunteered girls’ virginity before choosing a wife for himself. Thousands of pretty virgins’ were seen in this year’s edition dancing topless for King Mswati III, on what is called the Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga), hoping to be his next wife.

Ijakumo Movie Review

Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give. Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words??? I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

Sista Movie Review

The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it. Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense. Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...
