MOVIE REVIEW: THE HATE YOU GIVE

Bang! bang! Shots fired out. Loud cries......."Don't shoot"!, Heard from a young lady. Starr. Whose screams and painful eyes were a witness to her young friend Khali, shot by policemen while trying to take his hair brush, from a bag. Tears. Wails. Lies. Injustice. Early death. Confusion. A distorted teenage mind on where to lay, in the code of law. The hate you give...... Starring

1. Sanaa Lathan

2. Anthony Makcie

3. Common

4. Issa Rae

Tells a tale of true outright cold-blooded killing of black people who are doing no wrong other than...... Be a different skin color.

It's a heart rendering film where the real heart of some white men is exposed and there in exposing to light, what we as individuals go through in Life. 

For example, a light or dark skinned  young and unmarried woman, being a Target of hate, by another woman who happens to be married with kids. Causing emotional and mental stress to the unmarried woman who really has done no wrong.

A student in the classroom being the target of a fradulent lecturer who had decided to mentally cause her stress because she is refusing his sexual advance.

 A toddler at school being the target of ridicule and harsh treatments because the teacher is envious of his family's wealth and togetherness.

A male student being the target of bad boys, simply because of his Lifestyle and seriousness with his studies and refusal to do as they wish.

Racism.... A crime beyond any human comprehension. The greatest crime of all. This is not because they are God's creations, but because they are proudly wearing their skin colors, from my observation, totally a happy population, with or without finances, and rarely in trouble.

 These are the reasons some men sends their neighbors ....... Six feet.

Try, fellow readers to....... Love the neighbor as thyself.

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...
