So it's almost 2017 over in a few days!It was such a memorable one personally .
I will like to give a big hug to every producer of a programme that aired!I might not be able to mention all but for everyone of you that tried and brought something on Television or the Web here is me giving you some E-hugs.I was on the Production set of Tinsel and attended lots of sessions on filmmaking this year.There was a particular one I attended hosted by Tatafoo HQ where I got on how shooting and transmission works. I also get to work with a film company.It sort of made me understand better but that doesn't mean we will accept mediocrity.
The Nigerian audience are now very smart and even if a lot of paparazzi,effizi goes on in a series,they are very quick to point out , ask questions and even correct areas that are very far from reality and obtainable .This happened a lot in areas of Medical Science, Nigerian Legal System and others .So here is us hoping better research carried out.I am ready to assist anyone on the Nigerian Legal System being portrayed correctly.
1)
TINSEL:Yes Tinsel!I know some people might just be rolling their eyes at me right now and let me say understand .I will not judge you at all and all you have to say I have heard,read .We can't take it away from Tinsel that they revolutionised& way for every telenovela we have on TV right now .Almost every producer,director,writer we say on the buzzing series had at one point being on Tinsel.We just hope they rekindle the sparks/up the ante we got close to ten years ago .It is Possible&we are waiting..
2) BATTLEGROUND:
Hmm..*blushing*
My best&favourite telenovela of 2017!The Adrenalin that Battleground brings is very different!It is in a class of it's own!This is me specially congratulating the writers for a fantastic job!The scriptwriting is FANTASTIC!Though they have experience/give some dry days but their work still maintains an A!Battleground got a lot of people who do not watch Nigerian productions change their mind and watch!I see Ogas at the top them watching and I am like wow!Some come online to interact.The costume which is majorly from Ade Bakare Couture using Adaora and Teni most of the time really lovely,location,acting very good! From the control freak Kolade Bhadmus,Calm &Calculated General,Hadiza Bako's strategies&mean look and Chichi Fm etc.However they were totally not perfect and i remember some episodes on Medical Science and the use of Hausa language that sparked discussions on the fanpage. it will not be out of place if they are awarded a 90%!It is still showing and will roll till early 2018. as it will probably end on 260 Episodes.
3) JEMEJI
Did I hear you say Oklohooo!Ojehjehjeh ojeh!The Fear Mausi is the beginning of wisdom in Aji
Jemeji is an epic Telenovela and explored an ethnic group that is hardly used i.e Ogu/egun depending on how you can relate.Badadry and it's lingo was brought to the world map with Jemeji.However at some point it started losing steam for some of us alongside the crossover /mix with two different telenovelas i.e Tinsel& Hush.Animation in a particular episode was also introduced .The excitement sort of withered for some of us but we still appreciate their efforts.Some charcaters in the series also shone brightly despite the status quo,one of such is Corper Fola played by Omowunmi Dada,there is never a dull moment with her ,another worthy of mention is Iya Oviyon,in the early days her energy was second to none! Dr Jide and his coat that will enter hall of fame can't be forgotten as well as the son of Babylon in Aji.Overall I will rate Jemeji B still showing and will roll into early 2018.It also will be ending with 260 episodes.
3)FLATMATES
Infringement!!!! I gat this...And I am already laughing typing!This was comedy unlimited and laughs guaranteed!From Obus,Prosper,Baba Landlord ,Sammie,Mimie ,Frank,Wilberforce etc.The Flatmates,their neighbours and friends always have something to offer.They had different lessons,themes to pass across sometimes besides the laugh.Ratings ...Very Good!
4)SONS OF THE CALIPHATE:
The second season of the series commenced with additional characters such as Kulu who is betrothed to be married to Kalifa. and Marina.Kalifa is now the Emir ,Binta who is now married to Nuhu is also trying hard to cover her tracks .A lot is going on as we speak though it sort of started slowly.We await the resolution and discovery of a lot of things &situations.
5) GREED&DESIRE
This is action packed as well though not originally in English,It is a South African Production.The Characters Maru and Sharon D the devils on ground who wasted no time in taking down two people who stood in their way.The calm Morakile ,and the hilarious Uncle Makheta.Though we are far behing in West Africa...This series is worth your time.
6) SKINNY GIRL IN TRANSIT
It took me a while to get on this web series but it was worth it.Tiwalade her family and friends are one hell of a bit hehehe.A very good one I must say.
7THE ISLAND
Enough Effizi on this one with a parade of stars and showcasing the Island life in Lagos .I watched the early episodes but yet to get a spark.Them try sha.
8INDUSTREET
This was one series I loved as well.It showcases and gives you a sneak preview of what really happens in the entertainment industry focusing on the music sector.And the introduction of the music stars is also commendable.From Sonorous revelation after the death of his right hand man Dreamz.Some of the soundtracks are interesting .Mo Eazy&AKG's feud.I love the songs Controller and Gbemisoke. The artistes featured also got talents!Industreet the first of it's kind and they started well!
9) JENIFA'S DIARY
Still as hilarious as ever .Thumbs up to the one and only Sulia aka 'Jeniva'.
10) THE JOHNSONS
Lucky Lolo and family continued to entertain us with his crew.Spiff,Efe,Pablo,Muhammed,Abulu,Siff and others.
11)FIFTY THE SERIES
You remember Fifty The Movie?It continued as a series and it had a blend of Nigerian &South African Cast+crew.It was okay all in all though it did not really trend to get people talking genuinely.
12) DERE
This was a very beautiful adaption of Cinderella with Naija flavour.
So what do you think?Did you watch any or all of the above like me *winks*
Your feedback/comment will be appreciated!!
Happy New Year in advance!!!
