THREE HUNDRED!

I found myself in O2 again last night. Ask me how?

When I went there on Wednesday, I saw that they were starting the movie ‘300’ the next day (yesterday) and I realised that it if I chill till Friday, the cinemas would be ridiculously full. BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE! The movie 300 is INSPIRATIONAL... And I mean that in the most direct way you could ever imagine. LOL. Read on!

06:18pm: On the way to the station after work, I called my cousin up. “Oh boy, make we go see that 300 movie na, I hear say e dey commot today – meet me for O2 before 07:00pm” That’s why I like going to see movies with close friends and family – no need for all that demo of pop-corn, Malteasers, drink, hot dog, Nachos, ice-cream and all those things that you would normally buy when you carry babe. My cousin and I just bought on large bucket of pop-corn to keep the mouth running, we no even buy drink (when we reach house we go use somerfield apple juice wash am down).

07:00pm – O2, paid for the tickets (with old student card - wey we no dey school again o!) and proceeded to catch the flick. I love seeing movies at the cinema, I don’t know why – I think I just ‘gbadun’ the experience. Meanwhile, you know all those Orange adverts with those two guys (for the cinema goers) that they used to show before the start the movie, I think the last one was the one with Steven Segal, where he blew up their helicopter. Omo, there is a new one now, its funny – look out for it – i.e. get to the cinema on time and don’t be like typical (you know who) and get there late saying;- “we would only miss the previews”. You don’t know that the previews would ginger you up for the feature movie! Anyway the new Orange advert is really cool; you guys should check it out!

SPARTAN! – (I am not going to say much about the movie (300), because I don’t want to spoil it for those who intend to watch it and at the same time I don’t want to bore those who are not even interested). I want to talk about the effects the movie had on me! Now I understand why they always put age restriction on movies for children. Some of these movies dey possess person. Kai! Basically the movie 300 is about warriors/soldiers who were trained to battle and kill from the age of seven. It was for only the boys though but their girls and women were important. These soldiers turn out to be very strong. Remember Troy, now imagine like 300 of Brad Pitts character in Troy in one movie now that’s “300” – They are called Spartan soldiers from a place called Sparta. With all the Demo in the movie, coupled with the cinema effects men, you go just dey shake body on top your seat, the thing go dey sweet you. You self you go think say you be Spartan warrior! Ask me wetin happen.

Na so the movie finish, after seeing all that bravery, fearlessness, courage, fighting with weapons e.g. Swords, Shields, Spears and ‘sound plus visual’ effects. My body just dey charge, you know when you walk with your chest out like say if any body just try me now I go just find one small stick and ‘chuk di person”. Indeed, na so one Oyinbo guy wey just commot from one nearby pub, the guy was drunk and started talking to me and cousin as we were walking to the station... All I could think about was how I go shout SPARTAN, jump and stab him with my sword. But as my “pali” green his was most likely red, ‘mo y’ara min brain’ – ‘I gave myself small brain’ and kept quiet. Lol.

But guys, guys, the point I am trying to make here is that all these stabbing and shooting that is going in London, ‘ara nkan to man fa re’ – ‘these are part of the things causing them’. When all these ‘Oi boys’ watch all these kind of rap videos and hear all kinds of stuff on them it’s the same effect it has on them. That’s why they begin to kill each other; we won’t see that kind of thing IN JESUS NAME.

And for all you girls (including some guys) that survive on Naij movies – I am not saying there’s anything wrong with that but when for instance “Your husband or boyfriend is not giving you enough respect/money or even satisfaction AND in the last Naija movie you watched, “Loveltina”, wanted “Morris” to love her more and she put some ‘juju’ in the Eba and Egusi she made for him, then he became a ‘Mumu’ for her” PLEASE DON’T LET IT GIVE YOU THE KIND OF IDEAS THREE HUNDRED WAS GIVING ME O! – Lol

:-) I am sure you guys know that no matter what, I would never stab anyone. I am a child of God and covered by the blood of Jesus so no weapon fashioned against me or no one planning to stab me shall prosper unless baba says its time for me to come up there and sit by his throne!

See you tomorrow! “Make I warn una, my weekends dey sweet well well o! So no miss tomorrow edition!”
