It takes someone who knows the art and the science of film making to understand where the extraordinary Tolu Fagbure is coming from. Tolu is a core professional film critic and the Nigerian film industry need his expertise if they must move to the next level. Unfortunately, those who dont know what Afin is talking about will use their likeness or love for the actors he critique, to see him as talking down their own idols.
I don't believe I just watched a three hour interview without forwarding. That's how much I love listening to interview. I believe I will be on interviews someday to talk about the journey into greatness
Here is the problem. None of those ppl posting negative comments about Tolu cannot think deeply about what he was talking about. The only thing they respond to is when he started mentioning names of producers and actors and their work. It is their nature to only think of names and not their contents which is what he is very deep about! This is the first guy that can speak fearlessly about the movie industry and dissect it so professionally and truthfully. Kudos to Agbaletu (Dele Adeyanju) who dig deep to get this caliber of guys to his show. I am in the US and I watch this guy and others without missing anything! Good job Dele and Tolu Fagbure!
I genuinely enjoy listening to Tolu because he's intelligent, thoughtful, and speaks with wisdom. It's unfortunate that some self-proclaimed "great" Nigerian artists seem to mistake constructive criticism for personal attacks.
A big thank you to Agbaman for bringing him back and making his appearances more regular. I honestly can't get enough of his insightful perspectives.
More grease to your elbows, Mr. Fagbure. May God continue to bless and strengthen you.
Afin's ability to enter into different discourse just to explain a particular point makes him stand out. That is an academia mindset that needs to be used in building the next generation education.
This guy has got to be the greatest critic in Nigeria. His colleagues won't appreciate his undiluted craft for now, but they will eventually come around. God bless you Tolu.
