With challenges comes responsibility. Love Like This episode 7 ended with Maka’s mum making an entrance into Remi’s place, where the couple’s strip game was interrupted. When this happened, I expected a lot of drama and I also feared that this would end the couple’s love journey. We start off episode 8, ‘Do The Right Thing’, with Maka’s mum confronting her daughter for finding solace in a man’s house. Remi who has initially been eavesdropping summons the courage to get into the mother-daughter argument. I did expect things to escalate quite fast with Remi’s intervention but contrary to that he…

Things begin to get cold in the love paradise. After what seemed to be like a reconciliation and the beginning of a new journey for some, things go cold with various obstacles like distrust, fear and external disapproval. We begin the seventh episode with our made-up love birds; Maka seems to have begun her long-desired passion for Youtubing and Remi doesn’t seem much of a serious help but rather a fun one. It’s amazing to see that they are back together but Halima seems to not buy it all as the next scene follows with Halima expressing her fears for…

Written by Faith Oloruntoyin and Ikeade Oriade. “Over the years, writing has proven to be a very powerful tool that has influenced how we see the world today. From stories running circles in our minds, to the ones that made it to the pages and to the screen, we can see clearly that it starts from the heads of the writers,” Kelvin Amamize, winner of the best screenplay award at The Annual Film Mischief, shares as he explains screenwriting as a bedrock art for filmmaking, “without this, there would absolutely be nothing to see on the screens. Many fail to…

Love does require to be watered through hardwork for it to blossom. Recall that the last episode was about bold and chicken steps, with Tamara kissing Nimi and Remi feeling scared to introduce Maka to his colleagues. Well, this episode takes us through more steps, something I find missing in other love stories, which is the work put into making things work when there is a problem in the relationship. I had a lot of butterflies in my belly and a good wicked laugh at the ‘ela’ given to some people. The episode begins with Remi waking up to an…

Bold steps and chicken steps all keep the game rolling. It seems like Ndani TV listened and gave us more screen time with Maka and Remi, oops, and No Kamal and Abiye in this episode. The episode begins with Maka and Remi having a discussion that starts on a loving note, with breakfast in bed, then spirals into a more tensed conversation with Remi advising Maka to get a job pending till she figures out what she wants to do. Maka in turn asks Remi to understand her just as she understands him keeping their relationship a secret.  Remi finds…

Hypocrisy flying around like wildfire. A better title for this episode would be “Hypocrisy” but I do get why the title ‘Phone Swap’ was chosen for episode four of Ndani TV’s series Love Like This. Having ended the last episode on a confusing note as to why Nimi tried to kiss Teni, the latest episode presents us with what seems to look like a fresh start for some and a continuation for others. We begin with Nimi taking up the earlier gym suggestion by Remi. He is soon lost in the thought of Abiye that he doesn’t respond when being…

No Rebounds yet, but definitely a bit of fire. Upon the release of the third episode of the Ndani TV series, Love Like This, with the title “Rebound”, I had a little leap of joy in my heart as I was eager to see the drama that would ensue. A bit of makeup and new love interests being revealed in the new episode, though not entirely in line with its title, did bring on some steam. We begin with a very bold step by Teni which I find very audacious and unnecessary. Teni goes to appeal to Nadia in her…
