SCION 4.0 10 Black Panther Movie Review 2018

lack Panther is what Marvel studio had been scared to do due to its wide African concept. Black Panther is everything we have always wanted from a superhero movie, maybe a little bit more action but the exceptional story compensates Bfor it. It has an appreciable plot that gradually unfolds into bigger adventures. Although many said it was overrated but then, it’s still one of 2018’s top notch movies

The African Concept of Black Panther T’Challa Wakanda, the fictitious city of Marvel is built on a The Black Panther himself, who had to clean up his culture that is centered somewhere in Africa. Ryan father’s messy mess. He is fighting his father’s image, made sure that the Wakandans were brightly dressed literally boiling his insides up trying to make sense of in an African tribe costume and had the African why T’Chaka (John Kani) left the poor child behind. That dialect. It’s like molding a fiction into a reality. The has clearly crushed him mentally making him more concept relates to what the world thinks of a place susceptible to enemy attacks. T’Challa’s revival has been like Africa. It is the ultimate contrast where the less beautifully timed when Wakanda was about to be fortunate (Africans) are extremely blessed. All they invaded. He lost to Erik but he rose again to defend his are trying to do is hide what they have from a land. covetous world, but it never worked out. Michael B. Jordan as Kill-monger My best act for the movie (This is personal). Black Panther movie becomes more thoughtful and cognitive as it proceeds. There is something insanely sympathetic about its antagonist Erik Killmonger portrayed by Michael B.Jordan that would leave you feeling sorry for him when the movie actually fades. He was wronged by T’Challa’s father, becoming a villain was expected. He eventually showed up at Other Characters Wakanda for his birthright. Was he capable? Yes he M’Baku (Winston Duke) comes strong as a helper from a was! He defeated T’challa in a fair fight, announcing mountain tribe Jabari, even though the entire tribe is his arrival as the new king of Wakanda. He was too not on good terms with T’Challa’s people. Remember offensive and brutal which led to his fall. Anger took T’Challa defeated him at the beginning the best of him.

SCION 4.0 11 Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), T’Challa’s ex, brings home The Final Verdict that emotional angle to the story providing him the mental support he lacks. He’s always freezing when Black Panther’s true strength lies in its ability of he sees her..lol. portraying a nation that does not exist and making it real... Ryan Coogler has proved himself to be a Okoye cannot be forgotten either. She makes her genius story teller. Black panther was beautifully presence felt by being one of the finest warriors of done and literally a widely accepted movie. Wakanda. Her loyalty to the king and her allegiance to what is right, comes under the cross-hair when she finally decides to take a call.

#wakanda-forever! SCION 4.0 12 Lyta is one of the youngest artists in the Nigerian music industry who has made name for himself, he’s signed to the most popular record labels in Nigeria. He’s a star to look out for in years to come. He blew the atmosphere with his ‘Time’ song (Asiko).

did
you
come
about
the

"Lyta"
was
given
to
me
by
a
dj,
Dj
Stramborella
after
a
musical
performance
by
me
in
a
show.
He
was
thrilled
by
the
performance
and
so
he
invited
me
to
his

and
asked
for
my
name,
I
told
him
my
name
was
Opeyemi
and
he
eventually
changed
it
to
Lyta...

musical
career?
My
parents
have
always
been

the
start.
Grateful
to
God
for
that. What
is
your
greatest
fear?
My
greatest
fear
is
letting
down
the
people
I
love
and
those
who
believe
in
me;
which
is
why
I
work

as
hard
as

the
inspiration
behind

was
simply
about
writing
a

that

hard.

SCION 4.0 24 Northern Dishes

ever been to Northern Nigeria?These meals should entice YOU and create an appetite for northern meals. So, it’s a Ntrip to the north right? No doubt; northern foods are DELICIOUS! Tuwo Shinkafa (Rice Balls) Tuwo shinkafa is a type of Nigerian cuisine from the northern part of Nigeria. It is a thick pudding prepared from rice flour and is usually served with different types of soups like Miyan kuka. It also goes well with other Nigerian soups.

Masa (Waina) Aka Rice Cake Hausa Masa or Waina is a very popular snack in the northern part of Nigeria. Made from rice as well. Masa reminds me of puff-puff though the batter is made slightly watery unlike puff puff batter and not as sweet as puff puff. The rice usually used for this meal is the type used for tuwo known locally as sinasir (very white in color with broken rice particles, sold mostly by Hausa vendors, soaks up water when cooked).

Dambu (Dried Meat) Dambu is a popular meat snack in Northern Nigeria and its more commonly prepared during the Muslim Sal-ah celebrations. The choice meat for making this snack for Sal-ah is lamb but beef and chicken are also used. Dambu can be eaten on its own as a snack or in combination with other dishes such as rice and fried eggs.

Zogale (Moringa) The salad is a northern delicacy which can be eaten on its own or as a side dish with rice in place of the contemporary salad.

Fura da Nono (Yoghurt with millet) Fura da nono is a staple dish in northern Nigeria where it had mostly as lunch. It is very common to see beautifully adorned Fulani ladies under shades of trees with big calabashes which hold their milk and fura balls. Orders are mixed in smaller calabashes with calabash spoons and the buyer has the choice of adding sukari(sugar) or not. The fura balls are made from millet flour which has been spiced with ginger, cloves and sometimes, pepper. It is a very healthy and satisfying dish.

SCION 4.0 25 Kilishi Kilishi is a version of jerky that originated in Hausaland. It is a dried form of Suya. Made from cow, sheep or goat meat after the removal of bone. Each of the selected muscles is then tediously sliced into a sheet-like size of one meter or less for easy drying. The dried “sheets” of meat are then collected and kept for the next process. A paste made from peanuts called “Labu” is diluted with enough water, spices, salt and grounded onions and perhaps sweeteners in addition to honey to add sweetness. The already dried “sheets” of meat are then immersed one by one into the “Labu”paste to coat it, whereafter it is left to dry for hours before roasting on a wire mesh. Kilishi can be kept for months without much change to its taste.

Miyan Taushe (Pumpkin Soup) A Northern Nigerian staple meal made out of pumpkin meat. Though the pumpkins vary, the gourd type the commonest in Nigeria is what is often used. Nonetheless, use whatever pumpkin you can find as long as it’s ripe.

Tsire (Suya) Suya, is a spicy-ish like skewered meat. It is traditionally prepared by the Hausa people of northern. Suya is generally made with skewered beef, ram, or chicken. Innards such as kidney, liver, and tripe are also used. The thinly sliced meat is marinated in various spices which include peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavorings, and then barbecued. Suya is served with further helpings of dried pepper mixed with spices and sliced onions, fresh tomatoes and cabbage.

Kuli kuli Kuli-kuli is a Hausa food that is primarily made from peanuts. It is a popular snack in Nigeria. It is often eaten alone or with a mixture of garri, sugar, and water popularly called “garri soakings”. It is also eaten with koko, fura, kamu; and is sometimes ground and put into the salad. It is often ground as used as an ingredient for Suya and Kilishi

My creed for fashion and beauty inspired me to go into modeling, plus I cannot deny my love for co-operate wears and my favorite colors are white and pink. Ladies like pink!

I always tell myself it is achievable! People do ask me, why face modeling? Well, knowing fully well that the face is like the most important part of the human body because it's the part that houses beauty and the sight organ. I am certain that my face and enchanting smiles can change the world. Permit me to blush…lol My goal is to be the best face model in the world and to use my influence as a model to change Nigeria and the world at large. Wait on it!

By the second semester of my sophomore year, I had joined a fraternity. In civics class I sat by two sorority girls. The three of us talked so much during class that the teacher split us up. She moved me next to a girl named Maudie. The only thing I knew about Maudie was that she was best friends with the daughter of the prominent pastor at the largest Baptist church in Mobile. As far as I was concerned, that was all I needed to know about her. And Maudie knew all she wanted to know about me. In our junior year, we were in the same bookkeeping class. I liked the class but I had some trouble with the problems. I knew Maudie was smart, so I asked her to show me what I was doing wrong. Without a word, she let me know she had no desire to help me. So I asked another classmate. Then in our senior year, I started working in a grocery store. Maudie came in weekly with her mother and seemed to be a different person. We talked as I bagged the groceries and I realized that I had changed, too. One night as I took the groceries out for her, I asked if she wanted to hang out and go for a ride when I got off work, but she said she had to drive her mother home. I felt rejected but found out later that she was hoping I would offer to pick her up after work.

SCION 4.0 35 Uneke Onyedikachi InjusticeOAU,@_chancetheattorney

Injustice, a word like air Smothering in its quest of incessant errands By the deeds of those whom through handed power have had us handcuffed Our mornings beckon with the shadows of death on every street With life breathing death in appreciation of the doings of our nation's kleptomaniacs The necessaries of life desert us just like the futile mission of running faster than one's shadow With our money hidden in bushes with fireflies as watchdogs Wrapped in tunnels and 'strong rooms' like Egyptian mummies Instead of the deployment of these resources to avail the wallows of the electorates Rather humans in green colored apparels are deployed to carry out the unconstitutional acts of these Eggheads Verily I write unto thee, Come the end of time The sands of proscription shall sound injustice on your wooden enclosures as you pay a mandatory visit to thee whom we all owe a return to face 'Injustice'.

SCION 4.0 43 y
name
is
Moyosore
Badejo,
I
am
a
blogger
and
writer. Deep
conversations
and
communication
with
people
around
me
led
to
my
writing
and
also
nature.
I
believe
with
nature
anything
can
be
written
and
done.
I
was
Mfascinated
with
some
other
peoples'
writing.
This
led
to
the
creation
of
my
blog
"moopel". My
motive
with
this
blog
was
to
bring
people
together
with
the
aim
of
writing
and
displaying
their
talents
and
also
to
display
art
works.
We
all
have
our
area
of
specialty
in
terms
of
writing
(articles,
stories,
poems,
poetry
and
so
on). There
are
other
things
I
would
like
to
still
do
concerning
the
blog
but
am
taking
it
slow
and
steady.
As
the
saying
goes
"Rome
wasn't
built
in
a
day".
I
intend
to
make
this
brand
a
huge
one
by
making
it
a
blog
which
if
haven't
read
from
in
a
day
you
would
feel
something
is
missing.
Yeah;
that’s
the
deal.
My
goal
for
this
blog
is
to
display
to
the
world
the
good
writers
we
have
and
artists
that
we
have
especially
the
young
once
growing. Another
major
project
I
have
for
this
blog
is
to
create
a
discussion
forum
for
the
youth
whereby
different
topics
will
be
generated
every
week
for
discussion.
The
brand
will
entail
writings
(articles,
stories,
poems,
poetry
and
so
on),
display
of
artworks
and
discussion
sections. I
see
the
blog
taking
people
places
and
also
as
a
source
of
income
to
many
writers
and
artists
in
few
years
to
come.
With
the
little
time
I
started,
it
has
helped
me
in
meeting
people
of
intellectual
intelligence
and
also
has
had
the
privilege
to
write
some
articles
on
other
blogs
and
most
importantly
meeting
Scion.
This
is
the
first
magazine
I
am
working
with
and
I
am
glad
about
it. . Thank
you, Badej
Moyosore
