Mirror is a beautifully crafted and intriguing movie where viewers are served with heart touching scenes stemming from the resilience of a young man who defiled all odds to achieve his dreams.

Set in Lagos Nigeria, Mirror typifies the tenacity and industriousness in many Nigerian youths who despite many obstacles strive to achieve success in a legal way.

When Toke (Deborah Ogunsola), a young successful media executive meets Jare (Adeniyi Johnson) a dropout newspaper vendor, they both had no clue the meeting was going to change their lives for the better.

He never knew that she was going to have an impact on him to achieve his dream of becoming a graduate and little did she know that his advise will be invaluable to unraveling the misery behind her father's ill health. 

The plot of the movie is well put together. The simplicity of the dialogue, good subtitling,nice cinematic overlay and real depiction of friendship sweetens the movie flavour.

The conflict of the movie does not end like a typical Nigerian movie as Toke and Jare did not end up as lovers despite touching each other's life, instead they became great friends reminding us that true friendship can happen between a man and a woman with no strings attached.

Mirror is a must see movie. It is educating, inspiring, thought provoking, and full of life lessons.

Will BankyW and Adesua prove us Wrong

Initially perceived as a publicity stunt, BankyW's engagement to Adesua Etomi has finally seen the light of the day.

Arguably the loudest ever witnessed in the entertainment industry, BankyW's engagement to Adesua wowed a lot of people especially those that saw the chemistry between the duo in Kemi Adetiba's award winning movie, The Wedding Party.

The glitz and glamour of the star studded traditional wedding ceremony which took place in Lagos on Sunday 19th November 2017 will be talked about for a long time to come just like the eagerly anticipated white wedding which date is yet to be disclosed.

While the world awaits Adetiba's sequel to the wedding party' BankyW and Adesua have already replicated in real life their roles in the Wedding Party and it remains to be seen if they are truly meant for each other.

Fears are rife in many quarters that their union may go the way of other failed celebrity marriages in the country considering their background, school of thought, profession and association.

The tag of infidelity which is the genesis of many failed union among our celebrities still hovers around and could use their profession to pull them apart if allowed.

Family, friends and colleagues could be a blessing to their union if properly handled but sometimes it could be the other way in the Nigerian setting if allowed to over pry.

The media has generated some revenue from this union since the day they decided to go public and same media will beam its searchlight on the family asking questions from time to time.

It is a stale news that Toyin Abraham (formerly Toyin Aimakhu) and Adeniyi Johnson have parted ways, but theirs is one out of many celebrity marriages that have left bitter taste in our mouths.

Can BankyW and Adesua prove us wrong and stem this worrisome tide?  Time will tell.
