Movie Review: Me Before You

So I remember seeing a tweet that the movie Me before you  was going to be out in 2016 and of course trust all these bookwormish twitter people to drop their comments, saying that it would be unfair to watch the movie without reading the book. I went ahead to ask for soft copy so that I could read.



I got the book but didn't have a good phone then to read so it was in my archive till I eventually got a good phone which I could epub with and read books. I read the book up-till half way well let me just say till I got the whole message of the book am not such a fan of reading from the phone unlike reading hard copy.

Story story!!

Fast forward to 2016 july just walking across my colleagues desk and I see the movie Me Before You on his screen I was almost screaming and feeling myself because I could relate so much with it so  I had to beg him for it so I could watch for myself.

Me Before You is a fantastic English-American movie and I loved watching every bit of it and am so glad I watched it and also got the chance to read the book. If you are like me you will definitely love it and also this song which is courtesy Afoma  you should visit her blog she's an amazing writer and doctor.

Forgive me if this post is entirely boring but I have not written for months. I pray this is some sort of come back.

Chimamanda Adichie Gives Parisian 10 Lessons On Feminism

The Lovely Chimamanda Photo Credit:Brittle Paper

From posting this blog I have learnt that people from Paris are called Parisians :)

To a Nigerian father, Adichie’s advice is:

“Raise your daughter and your son the same way. Either you keep both of them home so that they can’t go out late or you allow both of them to go out late. Raise them not thinking about gender. Don’t thinks she’s a girl therefore she should do this. I think we should just think this is a bright child, therefore…”

To a Brother:

“Don’t think of your sister as your property. Don’t think of your sister as a person whose life you can control. To a brother I would say think of your sister as having equal rights to you.”

To a young Nigerian woman:

“Never ever apologise for being who you are.”

To The President of a western country:

“Stop thinking that gender problems only exist in Africa. It exists in your own country too.”

To The Pope:

“First I would say I love you and then I would say please try and give women more roles. I think that women priests should be allowed in the catholic church. There are women who are full of faith and who want to serve god as priests.”

To Hillary Clinton:

“Go Hillary! I think she’s going to be the next president of the United States.”

To Simone de Beauvoir:

“What happened with you and Sartre again? I would say love is a feminist issue.”

To a teacher who insists that feminism is not African

“You have a lot to learn.”

To Women:

“Buy very good lipstick. [laughs] If you like lipstick. More seriously I’d say it’s not just about lipstick but to love yourself. Do what feels like you.”

To Herself:

“Do better. I do want to be better. As I become older there are things I want to be better at. I want to be better at forgiving people.”
