Narration is not the same as review.
During the time of video cassette/DVD rentals, I got to know the name of virtually all Nollywood actors. My uncle ran a video club, and I helped during vacations. I get to see movies as they are released.
i know i do it too when i go to the movies with my friends but something needs to be done about how nigerians LOUDLY chatter and pass commentary when seeing a film.
literally everyone in my hall tonight were in some conversation and/or engaging the film with active commentary.
Anyway, just want women around me to understand, you need to start aspiring towards financial independence with the exact same urgency society wants you to aspire towards marriage.

After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
