Very nice production….but oh so predictable!
No it wasn’t predictable. Tell me you predicted that their bobos might be sleeping together. Yeah right, abeg have a permanent seat. Interesting short movie, movie quality and message is awesome. Koko of the movie is that EVERY one has secrets so no need telling the partner all about yours. It should be on a “he/she NEEDS to know basis”.
The moment Ayo went silent, I predicted he was sleeping with Lola’s fiance!! so yes, slightly predictable!
Loooool
Please, she is entitled to her opinion.To her it was predictable!!Abeg, cant people have opinions again!
Well, from a film making perspective, you have to remember every shot has a meaning. It wasnt actually predictable that Emeka will be his lover, but when Sandra enters the car an Ayo returns a peck, from there it was predictable. Go back, watch that scene again. An actors gestures include everything in the shot that’s there for a reason.
It was predictable; but doesn’t change the fact that it’s a good piece
No it wasn’t predictable c’mon! don’t be such a downer
I’m sorry guys, I’m being honest…I could just predict from the beginning that the big secret would be that their men would be gay, blame it on too many books read and TV shows watched but the whiff of it came to me from the very start.
It’s not to say it wasn’t a good production, as you can see, that’s what I started with in my comment.
In conclusion, one man’s predictability is another man’s surprise. Thank you and good night
You sound like and most likely one of those nollywood limelight hugger. Biko take several seats watch and learn how it’s done.
Lol @ God rocks…and your point is….?
omg!are u serious?wait,is he gay ni? lol..how is it possible to have dated a guy for neary 52months and not one day saw the signs?hmmmmpphh…this one she now forgt her phone in the car,m sure he wud c her messages and find out lil secrets…or wait oh,mebbe the guy Ayo was hugging is TJ….omg…see suspense…so she has had stuff to do wiv two gay guys? omo,that na curse ooo…tufia…
seen the signs*
oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!! dayuuuuuuum!!!! choi!!!! which other expression have I left out?! looool beautiful acting I swear!
wahala dey!
At least the bobo was at least considerate enough to break up with her, hereby saving her a whole lot of heartache in the future. Not like her friends fiancée who is on the down low and taking the woman to the altar anyways. Sometimes, we need to be grateful a partner is breaking up with you because you just never know the form of heartache and humiliation God is saving you from. Sometimes, Loving someone is never enough, there is a whole lot to consider, not just I love him or her.
I’d watch the film, looks interesting
Wow! Really great acting! Very engaging. I’m impressed.
Really great acting for realz oh!! At first I was like maybe they are not gay….then watching again,the acting was so real you were almost expecting the guys to kiss!!! **coversface** **runsaway**
Sunny king! Chituru’s brother
I see your handwork! well done ooo
Wow . . . Nice one Sunny !
Woowww…I love it! esp just after ToolzO’s post on how much u should tell in a relationship! Tricky stuff
Great film……
Good production and the actors and actress were damnnnnnnnnnnnnn good. I didnt see the end coming honestly but i kept saying in my head please dont kiss him or else i’d freak out now. lol
Good job guys this to me looks like the future of the Nigerian film industry…
wow…… dis is a wonderful but short movie. I agree with Sola that we need to be grateful if a partner is breaking up with us because we just never know the form of heartache and humiliation God is saving us from.
Love it! The storyline, the actors, the score – thumbs up!
I knew it was going to be a guy but i never thought it would be the groom…btw please can we get a full movie? I didn’t want it to end…I loved it!!
Everyone is talking about how good the acting is… no one has said what they are actually gonna do if they found out this kind of secret. But really,it’s good acting.
i didn’t see it either…. good job guys
I will go and call lola sharp sharp. come and see o. its too big to let her enter that kind of thing without knowing. Kai!!! this life sef
Great acting, predictable story.
Great acting. Clear English, eloquent people.
I can’t see anytin gay in wat d guyz did no b normal hug ni? good actin toh n cute ppl
Haaaa!! those boys looked like they were about to kiss mehn!!! the hug wan abnormal die??
looooooooooooool
i hate how ppl are saying atleast she told him, the fact is she and her friend are beards for the gay men, atleast emeka didnt sleep with lola, but ayo slept with sandra all this time and probably slept with other men, living her with the potential to get diseases. Its disgusting and i for one dont care about this same sex rubbish, God created man and woman, if he wanted same sex relationship he would have brought forth another man instead of even for adam. I know this is an issue we must face in our african society, but i think its horrible how we are quick to adapt to the oyibo culture while forgetting ours. Its an abomination in our cultures period!!
Oh please, like the major religions we practice in Nigeria were not adapted from the so called oyibo culture.
am talking about our traditional culture and religion, they forbid such nonsense and its an abomination. If you look at the so called catholic christian religion, its basically an imitation of babalawo=priest. So i know what am talking about, am a traditionalist in my view, whether christian or native culture, you dont have to agree with me
writers culd have doe more, actors were on point… good production but writing should definitely improve
Predictable that he was gay! He was quite all along but it wasn’t predictable that his partner was her best friends fiancée
Brilliant production! Nkan bee
Lots of things are an abomination in our culture and we have not stopped doing them. Anyway, good acting and I definitely will pay to see it! Keep us posted Bella Naija
well done bro, very proud indeed. fantastic work, can’t wait to see what”s next
Nice acting. Clean cinematography. Good dialogue too. I especially like the acting of the bride-to-be’s friend. Well done to Sunny King.
Umm predictabe, idont think so. Some infidelity, well yes, with the same bobo, Hecks no!!!! oh boy, very interesting tho.
Had a feeling it would be both their guys doing it
The story line is nice though, quality; real good, kept me interested…if I was in her shoes…I’d hav to deal wit d fear of telling and just spill to my friend,..but with convincing proof,…not just words,…now that’s where the drama starts…finding proof…that should be a good name for a good movie……’finding proof’ ..(stareing at the ceiling …stroking my chin
WOW! That was a solid performance. I totally did not expect that ending. I was thinking he’d also strayed of the reservation and by some quadratic equation they’d cancel each other out and either reconcile or go their separate ways. To put it mildly, that tori get serious K-leg. But great acting, very natural performance and a good story. Please keep up the good work and muchos grease to your elbow.
As per the bride to be–I’m sorry but I’m telling. It’s one thing to faint from shock and anger, but to be with a down-low brother? Abeg, comma no dey, na full stop remain.
wow i loved this n wanted to keep watching. i kinda guessed he was doin a dude but the end where it was her friends fiancee came as a shock to me then it took me back to where her friend said her fiancee is so good he doesn’t touch her(as if). 9icely done
Wow!very nice short film,the acting was so natural and it was far from being predictable.May God help us single ladies,because gone are those days when you wanna start dating a guy and you just hope and pray he’s not a player or womanizer,In this generation another prayer point has entered the matter…Lord let him not be gay ooooo,LOOOL…because honestly there are a lot of guys like Emeka who are bi sexual and will never tell their partners,rather they will go ahead and get married and the woman suffers it all
“There is no other woman” gave it away!… Amazing & Predictable!
Guys say that all the time just to lie even if there is, so don’t c how that could have given it away……if u thought of it yes but nothing in the movie showed u could predict he would turn out gay…..make una no too dey critisize and lie unnecessary…this is a top notch better than the typical predictable Naija movie
omg!!! the other guy is the meanest, still taking her to the altar. wth
Hahahah I always
Love the reactions people have and the comments they leave after watching this
they didnt do anything odd tho, i suspect the film may not go the same way we think. Cos if the guys were together then why would it be so easy for the groom to comfort lover when he broke up with his gf yet he’s still going ahead with his marriage plans.
this short movie just taught me there are some secrets I shld rather let them die with me, no telling no partner everything cos I dont know the ones he’s keeping. chinena!
omg!! absolutely impressed with the acting, esp the girls. lol @ killian red, no comma na full stop. May God not put us in this sort of dilema….
