ADIRE (2024)
There is something so sweet and nice about this Nigerian movie called “Adire”. They told a very relatable story, taking us back memory lane to the ancient Yoruba kingdom, culture and tradition. Kehinde Bankole played the lead role in the movie as “Adire”. She moved to a new city after fleeing from her ex- employer, who was using her to make money from his rich clients, through illicit sex, despite all she did to set herself free, he never just agreed, till one day she stole some money and ran far away, or so she thought till her good clothing’s gave her out and he came looking for her.

DINNER (2016)
Although “The Dinner” is an old movie, it just surfaced again on Netflix and doing very well, so I thought I should check it out. So it started out as a very simple dinner where Adetunde George will introduce his bestman Mike to his wife to be, they wanted to get to know each other, spend some time to unwind over dinner, until he decided to bring his old friend and colleague Richard, who his wife had desperately warned him against, but he wouldn’t listen. They hadn’t even finished the dinner and drinks, when different issues erupted, they started fighting each other and letting out secrets of the past that would finally destroy their future, had they known, they could have avoided this dinner or better still left Richard out, as I could see from the onset, he was a no good fellow for this outing, well you would need to watch the entire movie, to see how Richard’s big for nothing mouth, arrogance and pride brought down the roof and it all came crushing them all and their future.
