The Success Digest

The Blood Covenant  2022 film Available on Amazon Prime  Directed by Fiyin Gambo (Pursuit, The Wait)  Studio: Inkblot Productions (New Money, Superstar, Quam's Money, Up North)  Star casts includes; Shawn Faqua, Omomwunmi Dada, Erica Nlewedim, Alexx Ekubo, Gregory Ojefua, Ufuoma McDermott, Uzor Arukwe, Tobi Bakre, Shalewa Ashafa.  I really enjoyed and loved The Blood Covenant. It's up there with the best Nollywood movies to come out this year. I really love the beginning with those kids playing police and thief. It's a good little detail, establishing Eddy and Osiano's neighborhood.  I also love how their apartment was initially introduced. That overhead shot. It's a great choice of location. I love the set design of their apartment. It was perfectly executed and that scene with Osiano's sister (aunty maybe?) was a masterpiece.  I think Gregory Ojefua is highly underrated. His performance here was top notch. He deserves recognition. He definitely playe...

Courtesy: IMDb I finished Blood Sisters... I enjoyed the first two episodes.. The last two was a bit of a yawn (for me). I also felt somewhat unsatisfied at the end. There was one or two continuity issue, and I thought Blade was a tad too intense (why was he passionate? He should be cold and unattached) for a professional hitman, but all in all, it was pretty good, the production value was really up there. I feel like the cinematography could have been better though. I enjoyed the acting - loved Ramsey's bodyguard/bounty hunter vibes, Gabriel Afolayan is a really good actor, Genovevah and Kate Henshaw, Kehinde Bankole; Wale Ojo and Segun Arinze played off each other well. Great casting! I really liked how "Kola" died. I liked how that moment was captured, that split-second, ah, confusion on what just happened before he fell off the bed, deader than dead. I also liked that they felt comfortable enough to show some not-so-nude-I-don't-understand-the-uproar scenes. Filmm...

              Image credit : Amazon  The End Game season 01 was indeed a fantastic limited series comprising of 10 episodes in which each of the episodes were filled with suspense, thrills, action and captivating scenes. No doubt that "The End Game Season 01" is highly recommendable, following the Brainy tactics of Elena Federova , in exposing the culprits involved in corruption across the United States.  Also, there are some outstanding characters that are exceptionally portrayed, making season 02 highly anticipated.  Here some of these characters;                 Image credit : Amazon  The First on my list is Morena Baccarin as  ELENA FEDEROVA.  Yes she may be the villain here but her characters is worth commending. According to the story Elena Federova is her father's queen (lovely daughter), trained from when she was a little girl, which reflected on how ...

If there is one actor that I admire (for his versatility and range) it's Samuel L Jackson.       ~Peter Oruamen DISCLAIMER: This story was originally published by The Hollywood Reporter in its January Issue. Written by Seth Abramovitch The box office king and Trump golf antagonist beat a crack addiction to build a film career unrivaled in modern stardom, and the 70-year-old 'Glass' actor aims to work well into his 80s — if Marvel and the rest of Hollywood can afford him: "I'm a gunslinger now." He arrives exactly on schedule, not a minute early, not a minute late, and comes dressed in character: Armani cashmere shirt, translucent Alain Mikli eyeglasses and, of course, a Kangol cap. There are no formalities, no handshakes, no, "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Samuel L. Jackson." He simply strolls into the restaurant in midtown Manhattan — a short walk from the $13 million condo he shares with his wife of 38 years, LaTanya Richardson, who...

Adesuwa Omoruan is dubbed the "queen of selfies" by her siblings. She confesses to taking more selfies than regulars photographs. When Adesuwa Omoruan was a child, she never thought or imagined herself becoming a broadcaster; it was the last thing she ever thought of becoming. As far as she was concerned, the lifestyle of reporters was not up to par with the kind of life she wanted, as the young dreamer that she was at the time. She wanted a life that was rich and full of the best life could offer,  although she wasn't seeking a life that was necessarily flamboyant.  "I just felt that journalist were not paid enough... My idea of a journalist wasn't just working at that time. Sometimes they looked very stressed, very few of them had cars... Growing up, I had this picture of what I wanted to be in life..." She had wanted to become a banker!  As a child, she had taken trips to the bank with her mother on several occasions to cash-in her moth...

Your Career Depends on It! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex Image Credit: hellomagazine.com  "The most important career choice you'll make is who you marry."- Sheryl Sandberg Facebook COO "The most important decision many of you will make, not all of you, will be the spouse you choose," since "you will move in the direction of the people that you associate with."- Warren Buffet How very fitting! This really points to my mindset about marriage. Ever since I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I've always thought it was more important to marry the kind of person that'll increase my value, and who's life would inspire me to be do bigger things, to go for more- someone who wouldn't hold me back but spur me on. The sort of person who wants to rule the world- a marriage that'll be a power-partnership. Some people get married for the most stupid of reasons! Some just want to settle down. Think again! Do you really want...

Elvis Chidera I'm a 19-year-old developer at an  MIT-backed startup  called  dot Learn  in Lagos, living in the bustle of Nigeria's largest city. But until recently my life was quite different. Just a few years ago, I was living in rural southeastern Nigeria and had nothing but a basic Nokia 2690 phone -- and a big dream to improve the world using technology. Here's my journey from "village boy" to the epicenter of West Africa's tech boom. I began programming at 11 years old. As a kid I spent hours on websites and downloading and playing the latest games. After a while I became curious about how websites, which seemed to exist almost by magic, were built -- and how I could build one myself. My first step was, like most people, to Google it. This led me to the  W3Schools  tutorials, a handy site where you can learn to program. To build a website I needed a computer, but no one in my family could afford one. Luckily, my relative gave ...

image credit jamesaltucher.com A certain farmer had become old and ready to pass his farm down to one of his two sons. When he brought his sons together to speak about it, he told them:  The farm will go to the younger son. The older son was furious!  “What are you talking about?!”  he fumed. The father sat patiently, thinking. “Okay,”  the father said,  “I need you to do something for me. We need more stocks. Will you go to Cibi’s farm and see if he has any cows for sale?” The older son shortly returned and reported,  “Father, Cibi has 6 cows for sale.” The father graciously thanked the older son for his work. He then turned to the younger son and said,  “I need you to do something for me. We need more stocks. Will you go to Cibi’s farm and see if he has any cows for sale?” The younger son did as he was asked. A short while later, he returned and reported,  “Father, Cibi has 6 cows for sale. Each cow will cost 2,000 rupees. If w...
