Shanty Town 2022

Nudity.
I saw the faux outrage about the nudity in the flick and i was expecting some hardcore material like we use to have in those low budget Ghanian movies from yester years and it was nothing like that.
How were they going to tell a story about a "town" filled with pimps, thugs, and prostitutes without some form of nudity?
Smh...Nigeria is a deeply religious non-religious state filled with "Sunday Christians" and "Friday Muslims", we might rank among the most perverse nations in the world but our faux morality meter is off the charts. organized religion might be the major thing holding us back and keeping us firmly in the trenches.
Morality police were over Nancy Isime's case on how show of flesh and she cowered and quickly put out a disclaimer that it was infact a double and not her in that scene, smh...as a professional, how are you allowing charlatans question your art? and she put this out inside 24hours of the show premiering and doing mad numbers, if i was the producer, i will find a contractual clause and sue her because her disclaimer might reduce the stock of the show.

FergieRaww:


It was totally unprofessional of her to put out that disclaimer.. i saw it first on her Instagram page and was a bit hesitant to then follow up the show (but i did anyway 😂)

The show is still riding high despite that anyway, we for naija we don't care mostly about what she said, as long as there was booby and ny.ash we'll still see for ourselves and be the judge of if it's her or not

Shanty Town 2022

Not quite... but We are getting there!

I decided to continue my love/hate relationship with nollywood this year, seeing this and i wasn't disappointed that much for the first time in a long while!

Dialogue
The dialogue was mainly in pidgin english with a little intertwine of Yoruba, Ibo and Ibio-bio and it was so so good. The pidgin English was so raw, punchy, poignant and drove the narrative of the entire story so well that a native speaker will appreciate it more and the subtitles by netflix won't do it justice ...so stellar.

Cast.
The casting was A1 OMG. I never seen a mix of cast this good in a nollywood flick for so long. From the OG's RMD, Sôla Sobowalè, Ini Edo to the youngins Nancy Isime, Lilian Afegbai, Zubby Michael to the amateur Peter Okoye and Mercy Eke all gave impressive performance that i couldn't even fault, but special praise goes to Nse Ikpe-Etim, this woman is a dame and her range in nollywood might be unmatched but the overall crown goes to Chidi Mokeme! Mannn..His performance was blindly good, his mannerism alone was so in sync with his titular character.

Writing

This is still my biggest problem nollywood. The writing for this was good in the first 3 episodes and then it just lost gas and went pear shaped. The usual problem of chasing so many side plots without any plan of landing any, was still on show with the writing here. The end was so ambiguous to say the least with the last scene leaving an unnecessary confusion that was clearly not needed.

Overall..A better watch than the rest nollywood flicks on Netflix's clime before it. A strong cast performance and excellent dialogue that ensured that the message and narrative the flick tried to tell wasn't lost in translation.

Why are you always the first to post spoilers?
I saw this series the day it dropped and my mouth has been 🤐 about it, even the person you quoted made sure everything was as vague as possible.
You have to be sensitive about these things man

pu7pl3:


I don't see what the problem is here, almost every actress in Hollywood uses doubles for stunts and nude scenes and it still doesn't take anything away from the eye candy.

FergieRaww:


Yea for sure but they all don't come out to affirm that fact..

Joey king or Jenna Ortega will shoot a nude scene now and they won't say pim on their Social media accounts 😅 (beautiful Nancy F'ed up sha!)

The problem is she use her mouth tell us say na double. We no wan hear that one.
It takes away the experience from us that wishes to live and feel how it must have felt being with the actress in question. 😭😭

Baddestguyp:
I think the end sets up for a sequel...
The woman walking at the end is the new governor

It's to show the harsh reality that they only ended up replacing one villain with another

The cycle continues...if one thorn was taken out,
Another thorn has appeared in its place


And I also don't think ********** is gone for good

FergieRaww:


Body double or not in the case of that Boobs, but nobody will tell me that yan.sh Chief Fernandez bodyguard smacked isn't Nancy's 😤

oyaskii:
Yeah i figured it out, that the end was set up to lead to a supposed sequel but it's a perfect one off story, we have gotten the message. This is my problem with these people, they can't just eat the Netflix money once, clean mouth and get it moving to another project and story. From previous sequels in this Nollywood/Netflix era, I am pretty sure any sequel they are thinking of cooking can't top this so they should just give it a rest.

They do sometimes
Have you forgotten that scene where Cercei did the walk of shame in GOT, she came out and said that was a double but niggas no send, as far as they're concerned they saw Lena Headey's boobs. 🌚

Baddestguyp:
I think both Nancy and RMD were body doubles

Nancy was sweating profusely, the double wasn't sweating...
And the way the cut was done...I'm sure RMD wasn't the one touching the breàst

abduleez1:


Of course we know that they sometimes come out to say it's doubles. Still, it's not as instantaneous as this. The rumor or matter will have festered for long.
For that Lena, I knew it can't be her. For how many seasons them no show us anything, na that time dem wan come show us something. Even the scene camera work no to pure sef. Cos I noticed where the full naked body was shown, her face wasn't in focus. Then they'll cut to closeups. Or maybe I no too remember am well.
But I'm certain that scene didn't sit well with me. E just dey somehow.

Guy you dey mad .... Why you dey drop spoilers? 👺😡😤
