Erica Nlewedim's Hire a Woman

Following Erica Nlewedim feature in Punch and Vanguard as beautiful Actress / Entertainer to watch out for in 2021, the more reason you are watching Hire a Woman if you haven't seen it before now. The movie was released in 2019, way before she entered the BBN reality TV show.

This 2021, we expect more lead roles from the beauty queen. In Hire a woman, her acting was dulled by the famous and more experienced actors on the set, the likes of Nancy Isime, Uche Nwaefuna and Alexx Ekubo.

The storyline is the right amount of comedy, drama and destination getaway - Whispering Palms. I choose to highlight this because I'm tourism inclined. 

A nerd is invited to friends reunion and his colleagues at work plan the perfect retaliation for the mysterious Ex who has the brilliant handsome man figetting. A typical Nolloyhood movie, Nancy Isime was to find love with Uzor Arukwe, seeing she's the hired woman. Erica Nlewedim is best friend to the Ex and has a secret crush on the Nerd. 

It's refreshing to watch the turn of events and delivery from A list actors. Another funny contrast was Uzor Arukwe inability to contain his affection for the beautiful Toyosi - Uche Nwaefuna. Movie was so real abeg.

And Erica has always had the signatures wicked look, babe should explore that niche. 


This is not a movie summary, angry I don't appreciate spoiler alerts myself. And I am not your typical movie critic because this review is according to my movie taste slash preferences and just enough hype to advise your next movie. I am not a preacher of spoiler alert lipsrsealed, thank you.

What we once believed Chapter Two

Starting well and finishing strong, that is the story of the campus fellowship excos; the perfect story but this story am about to tell you is imperfect. I have known Brother Seun ever since my predegree days. In short, everyone knows Brother Seun, the evangelism coordinator. So let’s quickly run through his personality profile. Loveable? Check, vibrant? Check, dedicated? Check, outspoken? Check, heaven trembling and demon chaser? Check, handsome? If I hear; but whatever he lacked at that department, he made up for in suave. However, he is not my favourite kind of person reason being he was egoistic and showy. If he had stopped at that perhaps it would have been manageable but he had a weakness, sisters. As a friend would say, ‘ministry for the sisters.’ He would stop at nothing to catch the attention of sisters in the fellowship. Now don’t misconstrue me; he was not in any immoral act or anything with them, he just lives for female attention. To anyone else, it might seem just ordina...

Nneka The Pretty Serpent, part two?

Viewers Digression: Paranormal movie. I do not know what I was thinking buying a ticket to see movie, normally I don't do paranormal. Paranormal are movies on metaphysics, metaphysics= spirits and magic. As a good Christian girl, I'm sorry it doesn't seat well with me. So from title, snake girl is a giveaway, seeing Nneka, red flag but the hype on social media was tempting. First the movie flier I saw had a village setting or was that my imagination, ooh now I know, the 30years ago backtrack. I'm a sucker for movies set in the 90s and backwards. There is something original about those movies, that a playwright can recreate those scene, actually wins for effort. No one spends that much on costume and stage to release rubbish. On rubbish, Nneka storyline just suck. If there is a parts 2, No am not watching! The movie started with lot of promise, but in between the serial killing, the writer lost it. For acting, all crew were perfect to the T. Especially Ada played by Bimb...

What we once believed Chapter Three

Sister Dorcas is another such vibrant sister in the fellowship. She is my level mate and I guess she did pre-degree like me but I don’t notice her until when we were freshers. And trust me; I was always sitting on the noticing pew, the back benchers. You get to see who comes and go, who has the hottest heels or who is wearing the oxygen trousers. For those who don’t  know what the oxygen trousers is, well Fashion Police 101, those over-zealous brothers who wear oversize everything; trousers, oversize, shirt or coat, oversize even the shoes, it has to be ancient in design. Obviously, the wide trousers let in air and the overall effect makes them look like astronauts in space suit. Well, astronauts need oxygen in space. Even when Tiwa, my friend and I started noticing Dorcas, she is snobbish and does not hang around after service. After the benediction of every service, she picks up her bag, bones face and goes home. Well it is not like we were going to make friends with her or even...
