  • After listening to Asake’s new album, Mr Money With the Vibe an ungodly amount of times, I wondered how a Nigerian mum might react if she heard it. So here’s how she might react to each song. 

    Dull

    Asake says, “Wetin mama go chop?” on the song, so trust your mum to remind you that you don’t care about her wellbeing because you never ask her if she has eaten. 

    Terminator 

    Her least favourite song on the album. What do you mean by you’re a terminator? Ah. What do you need lighter for? They’re chopping banana too? Better skip this song for your own sanity. 

    Organise

    When the song starts playing, she’ll look at you and remind you that your room is not organised. If she doesn’t throw shade, is she really a Nigerian mum? 

    Peace Be Unto You 

    Quick prayer session here because she’s going to pray that peace never departs from you. That your enemies will never carry you to where you don’t know and that before they use you, God will make you use your sense. 

    Dupe

    This is her favourite song on the album. Do you know how many times they mention hallelujah? Plus the inspirational quotes? A bop. 

    Muse

    She reminds you that you’re too poor to fly anyone anywhere. You take your L and play her the next song.

    Joha

    Best song of the album, but your mother will not agree. She’ll tell you it’s promoting iniquity because it’s going to make women shake yansh too much.

    Nzaza

    For her, this is the worship song version of Dupe. She’s in the spirit and you should probably leave her there for a while. 

    Ototo

    She likes this song because it’s not too loud or gbish gbish, but what does Ototo mean? 

    Reason

    The problem she’d have with this song is the second voice. Nigerian mums don’t do too well with songs that have features. They stress her out. 

    Sunmomi

    The thing with amapiano is that Nigerian mums still don’t understand it. Why are they shouting? Who is blowing whistle? She’ll be confused and distraught. 

    Sungba (Remix) 

    She’s probably already heard it before, so she’d tell you to remove it and play Tobe Alabi.

  • Are you in a K-drama slump because Alchemy of Souls ended, and you don’t know what to watch next? Well, here are seven K-drama shows you should catch up on this September. 

    The Law Cafe

    First of all, it’s a Lee Seung-gi drama. Come on; it’s going to be good. The story follows Jeong Ho, a former genius prosecutor and current owner of the building where Yu Ri, a lawyer who recently quit her job, now runs a cafe. Of course, she just had to be a former friend of his. I’m expecting meddlesome behavior and plenty romanz.

    Little Women

    Forget every other story you know about the famous Little Women story This show is already shaping up to be the next best thing with a storyline completely different from the original Little Women. It’s about three sisters who have formed a close bond while growing up in poverty. No, because these girls from the trenchiest trenches stumble into an incident involving the wealthiest family in the country. Expect drama overdose.

    Once Upon a Small Town

    I just know this K-drama will give an Our Blues vibe but happier abeg. It’s a simple story about a man who moves from Seoul to Heedong Village and meets a countryside policewoman. The show will depict the happiness and sorrows of the people of the Village. If you’re a K-pop fan, you might enjoy seeing Joy from Red Velvet in leading roles.

    Blind 

    After seeing Ok Taec-yeon in Vincenzo act as a highly psychopathic wealthy heir to a pharmaceutical company, I know it’ll be nice to see him play a good detective this time. Taec-Yeon plays detective Ryu Sung Joon. With his judge brother Ryu Sung Hoon and Jo Eun Ki, a social worker, he becomes involved in a serial murder case involving jury members as the victims. The three work hard to uncover the truth behind the deaths when it seems like the world is willing to turn a blind eye. Set your reminder cause Blind drops on September 16th.

    Love in Contract

    Where are all my romance lovers? This one is for you. Our rom-com queen Park Min Young has done it again. Love in Contract is set to release on September 21st and follows the life of Choi Sang-eun, who helps people by pretending to be their fake wives at social events. What could possibly go wrong?

    Love in Contract kdrama 11 1

    One Dollar Lawyer

    Don’t overthink which show you’ll have to drop to watch this one, just look at the title. K-dramas keep giving us back-to-back legal dramas, and I can’t even complain. Cheon Ji Hun is a lawyer who charges only 1,000 won ( approximately $1) — for his services which involve helping people fight against rich and powerful people and their expensive lawyers. It can’t get more badass than this.

    The Golden Spoon

    If you were born poor and found a magic golden spoon which could exchange your wretched background with a friend born into a wealthy family, would you use it? That’s what happened to Seung Cheon, a child born into a low-income family. He switches lives with his rich friend and gets a taste of wealth. But will he go back? You’ll have to wait till September 23rd to find out.

  • One thing that ironically unites anime fans and anime haters is — you guessed it — the overused clichés. One group hates anime because of these things; the other loves anime just because of it. If you don’t know which is which? Sorry, I can’t help, but I can point out these cliches and you decide where you stand. 

    Glasses that blank out

    Can we all just admit how goated anime characters that do this thing are? This glasses thing will never not be cool! That’s how you know the character is about to make a profoundly wise or foolish statement. Is the move always a tad bit over dramatic? Yes, but what’s not to love?

    RELATED: Why Watching Anime With Nigerians Is Always Hilarious

    Eccentric old teachers

    Every super cool anime protagonist has that weird, eccentric teacher who uses unconventional means to shape them into heroes. Key examples are Ginpachi and Gojo, etc. You just can’t exist as an anime’s main lead without these weirdo teachers. Also, haven’t we all met an eccentric teacher in our lifetime? It’s cute, please. 

    When they unsheathe their sword but it has already sliced someone

    I know it’s not possible; you know it’s not possible, but it always looks super cool. Especially when they show how the hero did it: opened the sword, wiped the sweat off his head, ran around the room, kicked the villain’s stomach and then sliced him. But all we saw was the slice. Even just thinking about it has me excited. If this thing doesn’t make you happy, then I don’t know for you o. 

    The gravity-defying haircuts

    Not only will their hair defy every law of physics, but it’ll also be the brightest neon colour. I just want to know how their stylists do it.. 

    The beach day

    What is life without a beach day filler episode with no fighting or chaos, just ocean waves and good vibes? It’s like the calm before the storm; the rest before the chaos. Anime will give you the most relaxing beach episode, and the next thing you know, someone is dying in the next episode. I love it, sha; it helps you prepare for the worst. 

    The out-of-place side character

    This happens so often it doesn’t even stress med anymore. All the characters will look as normal as anime gets, and then suddenly, a character with the roundest looking head and flattest, most expressionless face will appear from nowhere. They’re usually comic relief sha, so you may eventually find yourself liking random characters like these. 

    The one episode that’s just fight scenes everywhere

    Anyone who has followed a long anime by mistake or on purpose knows what I’m talking about. That endless episode with fight scenes lasting the length of five more episodes can be fun because, yes, fight! But that’s also when you know an important character is about to die. There’s no winning with these people.

  • Now that Alchemy of Souls is over, I’m terrified of what I’ll do with myself during the weekend. I also want to fight the Hong sisters for whatever that ending was. How could they have done this to us? In the spirit of choosing peace and hoping for a better finish to season two, here’s everything I’m going to miss from the show. 

    Mu-deok and Jang Uk’s banter

    I’ll miss all their stupid fights and arguments where Jang Uk almost always wins. I’ll miss them pretending that Jang Uk is the boss when we all know Mu-deok has more power in the relationship. I’ll miss Mu-deok talking about how she wants to kill everybody but ends up saving their lives. I’ll also miss watching Jang Uk and Mu-deok win every single time! My ultimate faves, I believe so much in their love that I choose not to remember the ending because what was that?

    Maidservant Kim and Park Jin’s relationship

    Something I didn’t expect was to enjoy seeing older people fall in love. You’d think since I watch a lot of K-drama, I’d be used to things like this by now. But I loved seeing them flirt, even though it was painful to witness. Maidservant Kim confessed her feelings, and Park Jin was still oblivious somehow. It was adorable. 

    Watching the crown prince be a weirdo

    This man was just unintentionally funny. He’s usually a character people would hate, but in Alchemy of Souls, there’s absolutely no reason to hate him. He cheated on a test for Mu-deok, was willing to find out the truth about the queen being a soul shifter at all costs and saved Mu-deok’s life on multiple occasions. Sad for him, he fell in love with the one person not even all his money could buy. I was still rooting for him, though. 

    Lady Jin’s eye makeup

    Half the time I watched this show, whenever she came up, I’d just whisper “bad bitch” under my breath because, wow. Using a graphic liner in the age of magic and keeping that makeup flawless is a trick only she could body. I mean, I saw this woman crying about her daughter, and all I could think about was how her makeup didn’t get smudged. A queen.  

    look at her!

    Master Lee musing

    Let’s not even talk about how he’s the most unserious character in this show low-key. This man always figures out everything before other people do. Maybe because he’s always thinking? Or maybe it’s because he is over 200 years old? He’s sha my fave because every supporter of Mu-deok’s antics is my fave. 

    Jin Mu breathing like he swallowed hot eba

    When you’re too busy doing evil things, of course your breathing would be laboured. Okay, that’s not a thing, but I’m glad it was Jin Mu’s thing. Wherever a new scene comes up and Jin Mu huffs and puffs, I always expected the worst. The way this man manipulated every single person around him is just legendary. 

    Dang-gu’s earrings 

    The way I hated his guts in All of Us Are Dead. They dressed everybody like they were in the Joseon era, but not quite, and Dang-gu came from nowhere with his K-pop idol earrings. I’m going to miss Yoo In-soo playing the role of Dang-gu. Do you know how good an actor you must be to get so many people to like you after killing their faves in an earlier movie?

    Hearing Jipsu, Ryusu, and Chisu

    Now that Alchemy of Souls has ended, where else will I hear people mention this? What if I also want to open up my gate of energy and master all three? While that might never happen, let’s just sit with that beautiful memory of Jang Uk using Chisu and Mu-deok’s blood to fight as we wait for season two.

  • No one is doing it like Asake right now and that’s on period. From TikTok videos to the club, you can’t escape Omo Ope’s music anywhere you go. But did you know that most of Asake’s lyrics also work when you’re fornicating? 

    If you don’t believe me, continue reading so I can give you the tea. 

    “I can’t shout. Mo ti yo o” — Omo Ope 

    This is for when you’re tired, but the other person wants to continue. Remember that there is no prize for best in fornication, so as soon as you’ve reached your limit, pack your slippers and run! 

    “Dem never see me coming” — Bandana 

    This lyric works two ways. You can use it for when you give someone the kind of sex that has them shook, literally. Or you can also use this when your village people make you cum unexpectedly. Very versatile.  

    “Ko sha ma rora” — Peace Be Unto You 

    Ko sha ma rora means “take it easy” in English and it’s important you remember to say this when your partner is doing the most or ignoring foreplay. Even the Bible said the race is not to the swift, so please be calming down so everyone can enjoy this sex thing. 

    “Come chop my bana” — Terminator 

    We know he meant “banana” but maybe the babe started chopping mid-sentence and it was so sweet, he couldn’t complete the word. 

    “I no like nonsense o ya ko bo ta” — Sungba 

    O ya ko bo ta means “take it outside” in English and it’s by far one of my favourite Asake lyrics to use in the bedroom. This is perfect for when the fornication is mid or boring. If your lover is not putting enough effort into your sexy time, use this line and ask them to leave. If I’m going to sin, at least let me enjoy it. 

    RECOMMENDED: Just Imagine: What if Nigerian Musicians Were Your Therapists?

    “No sleeping, omo no dulling” — Palazzo 

    This lyric is for millennials who grew up listening to music that spoke about having sex from 12 midnight to six in the morning. Their stamina is not for the weak, so if anybody tells you this thing, just know you’ve entered a sexual one chance. 

    “Alayemi saare te button lo” — Peace Be Unto You

    This lyric means: “My friend, quickly press the button” and honestly, as a career man myself, I get it. Why fornicate for an hour when you can wrap that shit up in 20 minutes and focus on making money. Use this line when your partner is taking too long in the bedroom. Time is money. 

    “Sungba, sungbalajaja, sungba” — Sungba 

    We already explained what “Sungba” means, so while you’re fornicating don’t forget to tell your partner to part their legs like the red sea.

    “Emi ma gbe e dey be bi gokada” — Terminator 

    This lyric loosely translates to “I will take you there like Gokada.” If you’re confident in your ability to make your partner cum, then say this. If not, please there are eight other lyrics on this list you can use. Don’t disgrace yourself. 

    “No dey waste time; me I wan fire bazooka” — Sungba 

    Honesty is how you get the job done. If you want to fornicate with someone, tell them from the beginning so both of you can get started as soon as possible. 

    QUIZ: Sorry, You’re Not an Asake Stan if You Can’t Score 9/12 on This Quiz

  • Nollywood and sequels are like five and six. As far back as the 1990s and 2000s, every film had “part one” and “part two”, but the sequels on this list should’ve remained on a hard drive or, better yet, not shot at all. 

    The Set Up 2

    Honestly, no one, and I repeat, no one, asked for this. The first Set Up came out in 2019, and even though it sold itself as this intelligent thriller, it just ended up getting stuck in its own knot of plot twists. While I’d give the first Set Up a “C” for effort, the sequel doesn’t even attempt to be smart like it’s predecessor. The story isn’t fully fleshed out and characters have been added just for vibes and inshallah. The actors and the audience deserved better. 

    Every AY the comedian destination sequel 

    The devil works hard, but AY the comedian works harder. Because we laughed a little bit at, not because of, 30 Days in Atlanta, this man has decided to travel to almost every country to create mid films up and down. I tried with 10 Days in Sun City, but by A Trip to Jamaica, my hope and sense had left my body. 

    The Return of Jenifa 

    The Return of Jenifa is more of an advert for toothpastes and detergents than a continuation of Suliat’s story. Despite a very Nollywood closing to the original, with Jenifa contracting HIV because she did small runs, Funke Akindele decided to make a sequel that completely disregards the first film’s events. 

    The annoying part is Jenifa now has a TV show, Jenifa’s Diary and that one doesn’t even act like the films exist.  

    Chief Daddy 2

    It’s hard not to think of Chief Daddy 2 when people say, “Money is the root of all evil,” because securing a fat check is the only reason this evil currently exists on Netflix. Chief Daddy 2 was so bad that Mo Abudu had to put on her bone straight and apologise to Nigerians. If only our politicians could pick a thing or two from Aunty Mo. 

    RECOMMENDED: Nollywood Keeps Doing Remakes, So We Ranked Them From Best to Worst

    Quam’s Money 

    New Money is one of Inkblot Production’s best work to date, but not even Falz’s exaggerated razz guy accent or Nse Ikpe-Etim’s Ameritish accent could save its sequel, Quam’s Money, from being a hot mess. Unlike New Money which had a fresh story and a lot of heart, Quam’s Money relies on cheap jokes and physical comedy that doesn’t really land. The film struggles harder than Falz’s fake dreads. 

    Merry Men 2: Another Mission

    Someone needs to find out if AY has Ramsey Nouah on tape doing something illegal because I don’t understand how he agreed to be in Merry Men 2: Another Mission. The first Merry Men was deeply uninteresting, and this sequel is all drone shots and no substance. It might as well have been an ad for Eko Hotel, Transcorp Hotel, unconvincing VFX and really bad acting. 

    The Wedding Party 2 

    The Wedding Party was a cultural reset, but the sequel tagged “Destination Dubai” took all the magic and diluted it into watery zobo. While Sola Sobowale’s Yoruba mummy extraness and Adesua Etomi’s charm pushed The Wedding Party and made it a fave, the sequel felt like a desperate attempt to milk the audience’s bank account. We should’ve known it was sus the moment they had to hire a different director. 

    The Ghost and the Tout Too 

    Toyin Abraham is funny, but not funny enough to make me watch her play the same character twice, especially when the writing falls flat. Even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Ghost and the Tout, nothing prepared me for how much of a snoozefest The Ghost and the Tout Too would be. And no, throwing Osas Ighodaro into the mix did nothing to make it better.

    When Love Happens Again 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOuA_gHFYe8

    Romcoms typically end when the lead character finds love — usually in the arms of someone who’s been right in front of them all along. But for the producers of When Love Happens, the classic ending wasn’t enough. 

    Instead of leaving one of my favourite Nollywood romcoms alone, these producers decided to make an unhinged and low-budget-looking sequel, When Love Happens Again, set in America. I honestly felt bad for my girl, Weruche Opia.

  • Most K-drama characters have good relationships with their mums, and while that’s cute, I find that the dramas with present dads hit harder. 

    If you don’t have a great relationship with your dad, let’s gather together and cry at how nice these girls have it. 

    Sung Dong-il from Reply 1988 

    In the Reply 1988 series, Sung Dong-il might have been the poorest dad who couldn’t buy his girls nice things, but he loved Bo-ra and Dek-Sun. This man cheered for and encouraged his girls, and was proud of them for their small and big wins. He wasn’t perfect; he drank a lot and his kindness got his family into debt, but there’s no better mix of gruff and sweet like him. I will never get over the scene where he wears an oversized shoe his daughter bought him — painful as it was — just because she gifted it to him. 

    RELATED: The K-drama Friend Groups We Wish We Were Part Of

    Kim Chang-gul from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

    As a former weightlifter, Kim bok joo’s dad made it his personal mission to ensure his daughter was well fed. Her mum died as a child, and her father did his best to care for her. Whether it was getting her lipstick to tell her that even though she’s not the conventional size for women her age or personally bringing food to her sports university to help her bulk up, he’d be there. A stand-up guy, we stan. 

    Woo Gwang-Oh from Extraordinary Attorney Woo

    This show came from nowhere and stole everyone’s heart. The most beautiful thing about it was Woo-Young-We’s easy relationship with her dad. He understood how much more she had to struggle to get people to see her for her brilliance, and 100 per cent believed in her. He loved her even before she was born, and his affection never waned. He just wanted her to live a fulfilled and happy life. Where do people even find dads like this?

    The dads from Our Blues

    This drama will break you with how honest the relationship these men had with their daughters was. Cho Han-Soo was fighting hard and getting in debt to ensure his daughter kept playing golf abroad because it was her dream. Then, there’s Ho-sik dealing with his teenage daughter getting pregnant in high school and choosing to keep the baby. Her decision killed his dreams of becoming a fisherman as soon as she graduates. These men aren’t the best because they are perfect. They’re the best because they always prioritised their kids’ happiness. 

    Gang Hwa in Hi Bye, Mama!

    There’s no sweeter girl dad story like that of a young dad and his toddler. Gang Hwa struggled like anyone would, juggling a medical career and taking care of a newborn after losing his wife. But, every decision he made — including trying to remarry — was to give his girl a happy home. The sweetest of them all.

  • I know you see a lot of K-pop edits on your timeline, whether or not you want to. We are legion, and we’re not going anywhere soon, so why not take a moment to understand half the shit we talk about? Here’s a crash course on essential K-pop lingo. You’re welcome.

    The big three

    If you learn nothing about K-Pop, know this one. There are a lot of K-Pop entertainment companies, but the most popular are: JYP Entertainment, SM Entertainment and YG Entertainment. They’re the oldest companies known for consistently producing some of the most successful acts in K-Pop history.


    RELATED: How to Spot a K-Pop Fan in Nigeria

    Bias

    A bias is a fan’s favourite member of a band. Multi stans have ‌ult-bias who’re their favourite member of all the groups they stan. It may not even be a member of their favourite group. 

    Comeback

    Simply put, it’s when a K-Pop group “comes back” with a new album.  Instead of saying a group released an album, we say they’re having a comeback. Before you ask, no, singles don’t count.

    Daesang

    A daesang is equal to an EGOT you win in one night. It’s the most significant achievement a K-Pop group or artist can have. They usually present this award at the two most important Korean music award shows: the Golden Disk Awards and the Seoul Music Awards. Now, you know.

    SNS

    SNS is how Koreans refer to social media, and  most stans pick it up and refer to all social media apps this way. 

    Aegyo 

    “Aegyo” means to behave cutely. It’s basically planned cuteness for fan service. So when you see a K-Pop idol make heart cheeks or shake like a puppy, that’s Aegyo. Don’t even judge us. It’s cute.

    Sasaeng

    You know how some people are busy-bodies and do too much? That’s a sasaeng. They stalk idols to know where they live, then break into their apartments so they always somehow have the idols’ belongings. These guys are unhealthily obsessed, and no one likes them.  

    Sunbae/Hoobae 

    Sunbae is a senior group that debuted before a younger group from the same company. Hoobae is the junior group of the Sunbae. For example, Girls Generation are Sunbae to Red Velvet and Aespa. Think of it as a  relationship between an egbon and an aburo. 

    Maknae

    The maknae is the youngest member of a group. Some of the most popular maknae are Lisa from Blackpink, Jungkook from BTS and I.N from Stray Kids. For New Jeans, they’re all Maknae, please. 

    Line

    A line is a group of people categorised together. We have a lot of these. The most popular, age line, is all idols from different or the same group born in the same year. BTS’ Jungkook and GOT7’s Yugyeom are both ’97 liners.

    In a group, there’s a dance and vocal line, made up of the main dancers or vocals of the group. 

    There’s also the rap line which, as you can guess, are the main rappers in the group.

    Finally, the visual line, the prettiest faces in the group. We usually like to say it’s all of them, but hmm. There are lines to categorise non-Korean members: Japanese line, Chinese line, Thai line. We also like to create fake ones, like “abs” line, as a joke. Wow, we’re so funny. 

    Killing part

    You know how you watch a movie and have that one scene you think was the best part? That’s what the killing part is. It could be a part of a song, choreography, a pose or even a perfectly timed beat drop fans love and never shut up about.

    Extraordinary Attorney Woo says goodbye for now

    Our beloved show came to a wrap with its final episode on Thursday, August 18th, 2022. While we’re sad to see it go and wondering what we’ll do with our lives every Wednesday and Thursday from now on, let’s rejoice for the cute ending we deserved.

    We wait patiently for a new season in 2024. Woo supremacy forever.

    Alchemy of Souls returns

    For fans of Alchemy of Souls, this week might as well be Christmas after missing Mu-deok and Jang-Uk on our screens for 13 whole days. While we have four more episodes to go, we’re glad none of the good guys has died yet and excited about the drama we’ll witness on Saturday. If Naksu doesn’t fight somebody and win, we riot.

    Girls’ Generation fans did not come to play with their queens’ return. Girls Generation’s Forever 1 album debuts its titular lead single at #5, marking the group’s first appearance on the chart in five years. When you’re big, you’re big, and not even a scandal can stop you. 

    All your faves are sick

    Not every time support with streams, sometimes support your faves with prayers. Kang Daniel and Dino, from SEVENTEEN, tested positive for Covid-19, and Sunoo from ENHYPEN has health issues. Nothing will happen to them, but you people should sometimes be praying. 

    Hyun Bin is coming back!

    It might not be for a drama, but the cast of Confidential Assignment 2: International will appear on the game show, The Game Caterers, and I’m more than excited to see Hyun Bin act goofy with his fellow cast members. This is his first TV appearance since he married Son Ye-jin, and while we understand their need to disappear for a bit, we’re just excited to see him again. 

    Are you ready for BLACKPINK?

    BLACKPINK’s music video for their song, Pink Venom, blew my mind. That clip of JISOO playing the Geomungo now lives rent-free in my head. The visuals are stunning as usual, and I just know the song is about to become an anthem. I’m ready to scream-sing it every day until people are sick of me.
