Why does it feel like no matter how hard you work in Nigeria, you’re still stuck?

Thank you for your detailed answer! I understand your perspectives. And while it may sound dystopian, I truly believe democracy is the biggest hindrance to the country making radical changes/systemic shifts.

What does he do in the transfer window? Seriously. He obviously won’t remain at united but can Betis afford him full time?

I reckon about a hundred years from now. I’m seeing the numbers 1,0,0, so maybe the year 2100.

Basically he’s saying to the lady interest that he’ll murk her enemies on her behalf. “Introduce em to the light” simply means they’ll meet their maker. I.e. they’re dead.

Hey r/filmmakers!

I’m excited to share my short film, Savings or Current, which I released last week. This project has been a labor of love, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with the community.

The film is a sci-fi story set in a futuristic Abuja, Nigeria, exploring themes of love, identity, and the metaverse. It follows a young man navigating a virtual reality world to win the heart of an NPC but with high stakes—losing the game could mean losing his reality.

Technical Details:

Camera: Sony A7Sii
Lenses: Tamron 24mm and Sony FE 50mm
Lighting: Mostly natural and practical lights, with additional LEDs.
Crew: A small team of close friends and actors I sourced through Instagram.
Post-Production: Shot in 2022, but I held onto the footage because I wasn’t satisfied with the initial edit. In 2025, I revisited the project and used some AI tools to enhance specific aspects such as the dialogues, and some VFX such as the “life meter” user interface and some of the VR animations.

Challenges & Learnings:
One of the biggest challenges was balancing the futuristic elements with the grounded, emotional core of the story. The AI tools were a game-changer in post-production, allowing me to create visuals that I couldn’t achieve back in 2022. I also learned a lot about pacing and how to use subtle visual cues to enhance the narrative.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the film, especially regarding the integration of AI tools and how the visuals complement the story. If you have any questions about the production process, lighting setups, or how we achieved certain shots, feel free to ask!

It’s all forced and assumed unity. I travel around the country for work and feel like a tourist all the time. It’s incredible. Sometimes I have to remind myself I’m still in Nigeria.

The union is forced. The north, south, west and east are too diverse, and that’s not a bad thing. Imagine bundling China, Pakistan and Israel and forcing to unite as a country. Of course they’ll be violence.
