Why Half of a Yellow Sun is a special, relevant proposition
4:49 AM |
So much has been said and written about Half of a Yellow Sun, the movie adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s award-winning book of the same name, a story primarily focused on the Nigerian civil war.
Opinions differ on whether or not it was right for the National Film and Video Censor’s Board to withhold the movie from the Nigerian public for as long as it did.
Exploring on one hand the lives of Olanna (Thandie Newton) and Kainene (Anika Rose), glamorous twins born into a wealthy Nigerian family from the southern part of the country, and on the other, the complex exigencies that are thrown up in the country following the outbreak of the civil war, Half of a Yellow Sun comes as a complete package.
Having just returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom a few years after the country’s independence in 1960′s Nigeria, the paths the twins are to take are carefully laid out by their affluent parents. That is until Olanna shocks her family by going to live with her fiance Odenigbo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who is a lecturer at the newly-established University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
But when Mama (Onyeka Onwenu), Odenigbo’s mother comes into the picture, a markedly unbearable tension begins to build between the pair, especially with Mama’s pointedly damaging accusation that Olanna is a witch.
A complex unfolding of events leaves the characters reeling and dealing with personal demons, even as the civil war and events surrounding it throw them into physical danger.
The movie features some of Nigeria’s finest actors, such as Tina Mba, Onyeka Onwenu, Gloria Young, O.C Ukeje, Genevieve Nnaji, Zack Orji, Jude Orhoa and the Hollywood contingent, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anika Rose, Thandie Newton, John Boyega, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Joseph Mawle, Rob David and Wale Ojo.
Being the biggest budget movie to be associated with Nigeria and clearly the most anticipated on the Nigerian cinema scene, it is not for nothing that Half of a Yellow Sun is commanding so much attention at cinemas across the country.
Whatever people say, the film, directed by Biyi Bandele, actor and filmmaker; is a daring effort, which will always have a strong sense of attachment for those with a profound sense of history and those who appreciate their identities as Nigerians.

The two are reportedly in the throes of a full-blown relationship, and were caught stealing a kiss in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, after Latifah and her previous girlfriend, Jeannette Jenkins, ended their eight-year relationship. That relationship was confirmed when the paparazzi also saw Latifah and Jenkins hugging and kissing affectionately aboard a yacht during a vacation several years ago.
More pictures from their vacation below…

Tom Cruise ice bucket challenge
4:35 AM |
Hugh Jackman challenged Tom Cruise to the ALS ice bucket challenge and his response? Mission: accomplished.
Cruise and Mission: Impossible 5 director Chris McQuarrie doused themselves in not two, but eight buckets of bone-cold water to raise awareness and money for ALS, known in Australia as motor neurone disease (MND).
Cruise posted the video to Twitter along with the message: "Thx @RealHughJackman for challenging @chrismcquarrie and I to the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. Mission accomplished."
McQuarrie says the whole cast and crew would have been there, except because they're days away from shooting, everyone is spread out over three continents.
"But we didn't want to miss the 24-hour deadline so Tom and I are here to take a hit for the team," he said in the video, which Cruise posted onto Twitter.
Cruise added: "Chris and I are also making donations on behalf of every member of our cast and crew that were lucky enough not to be here today."
The pair then sat and awaited their fate, as people threw the icy water over them. By the sixth bucket, they were struggling.
"How much more?!" Cruise said. "There's no end," McQuarrie added.
Funnily enough, they needn't have even gone through with it.
In the ice bucket challenge, the water is the punishment if you don't donate to the ALS Association within 24 hours - which they did.
If you donate, or get iced, then you nominate another three people to the challenge.
It's why Charlie Sheen simply poured money on himself - because that's the amount he was pledging to donate.
However, celebrities such as Cruise, Jackman and others getting involved is not only amusing, but also helps by raising awareness as well as funds.
Cruise's video followed a similar one of Jackman, Rooney Mara, Garrett Hedlund and the cast of Pan throwing buckets of the water over themselves in a chilly, wind-swept field.
Jackman had been challenged by Les Miserables castmate Russell Crowe.
