Africans Vs African Americans: Battle of black superiority

This back and forth arguments and  deliberations  have gone on for some time now and shows no sign of simmering down.  The concept of attaching the adjective ‘African’ to non African people spurs from the chain of history between the groups and largely for the heritage of slavery. Africans think the African Americans look at them from a demeaning point of view, while African Americans think the Africans look at them as outcasts, uncultured and without traceable roots. Well, these claims are contextual and in some situations have proven to be right. There’s a rich heritage of culture shared between these two groups of people dating back from the origin down to slave trade. For me, I’ll not attach behavioral inadequacies to an ethnicity or cultural divide and I’ll try as much as possible to treat this void of sentiments but at the same time, it will be coming from an African point of view.  So, it will highlight the concerns majorly from this sid...

10 Underrated TV shows

Not every show can get a Game Of Thrones worth of TV rating and mass appeal, but Nobody said, every good show can't get the amount of applause it deserves. Some of these shows are well thought out, exceptionally written, and portrayed by remarkable set of actors on screen. While some do get a fair amount of appeal amongst its pairs, the others are doing way less than they should or be rated. These are some of the TV shows that deserve way more ratings and mass appeal than they are getting. 10. OZARK Ozark kicked off with a comic energy, especially for the fact that the story was built around Jason Bateman's character, Marty Byrd.

ACRIMONY: SHOULD WE OWE OUR LIVES TO INVESTORS IN US?

    Acrimony Hit the cinemas in March and has taken a respin three months later to trend on TwitterNG. It doesn't matter how long it's been out there. A trend is a trend, especially if crucial and relatable issues were touched. Going over the plot will be a waste of time, so we will pass, and it will aid your time and apprehension of this piece if you have seen the film. As written in the film both in words and action, it is a display of bitterness, Anger, rancor, resentment, ill feeling, ill will, bad blood, animosity, hostility, antagonism, malice, spite and many other terrible words Tyler Perry didn't think about. Apparently he left a couple of scenarios open ended to trigger questions and get the viewer to reach conclusions on his/her own or take sides.     In the course of my inquiry and scribbling through opinions, i had a few who thought Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) was dumb to have invaded her $350,000 inheritance to support a man she was not married to, ...

MUSICIANS WHO DOUBLE AS AMAZING ACTORS.

Ain't it always fun to see a movie where your favorite artists take on movie roles outside their celebrity lifestyle and give life to characters off a script? Yeah right. But in the same vain, some take on the roles better than others and it might be the work of artistic directors or personal coaches, but it doesn't matter if a good performance was delivered. Here's a handpicked list of some who fit the bill. 1. Chris Brown : Chris has got to be one of the most versatile on this list. His initial roles on screen were quite passive and minor, but he did alot to include the element of drama and theatrics in his videos before he started getting major screen roles in movies. Movies featured: Takers, battle of the world, stomp the yard, this Christmas and think like a man. 2. Justin Timberlake : Justin is like the white Chris Brown (artistically speaking). He's actually more involved in movies than Chris and juggle both quite well. He's had good rated mo...
