JENIFA-THE MOVIE

I was encouraged to watch this nigerian movie for the longest. finally i did and it is the most hilarious movie i have ever watched.

It is about a young college freshman who was a nobody and wanted to become somebody. She ended up meeting some wayward young ladies and started living a very reckless lifestyle. Having sex with diferent men for money to look good and impress people.

I think the movie actualy reveals people's inner insecurities. Suliat came from a very poor background but she was really smart. She got to the campus and under the influence of her bad friends she changed her name to Jeniffer (Jenifa). I think Jenifa really didn't care about the way she looked or dressed until she was embarrassed several times. It was just like giving Eve the apple to eat and her eyes opened. Other girls made her feel insecure. It was sad the way one of their roomamtes died and her family realised that she was not even a student of that institution until after her death.

It is a movie for young girls to watch and realise that AIDS is real. I know a lot of youths are trying to make ends meet. Money is not everything, selling your bodies to make money to impress people that do not like you is not worth it. Sle fvalue is very necessary. I think Suliat was under intense peer pressure. All of a sudden she did not have a mind of her own and eventually ended up gaining nothing.

Some the words she used in the movie would always stick in my head such as "Ousshhhhhhhhh" "DFO" "my badday pariiiiiiiiiiiiiii" "Big gelz"
