Why I like Watching Films



Film or films can be seen as a subset of media industry providing a form of entertainment, information and education composed of a sequence of images and shown in a cinema and, more recently, videos. By this, it can be deduced that films are a constituent of the media providing good mediated content that appeals to the senses, especially sight and sound. Still, films can also be in form of still images (camera)or slides (TV and Video), which in this case can only appeal to the sense of sight, and perform the same media functions of educating, entertaining or informing. Films, in whatever form they appear, generally are of the performing arts, and these can be classified into fiction and non- fiction or both (faction), spanning action, drama, musicals, documentaries, comedies, tragedies prose, poetry and, of course, historical films.
Films providing mediated content that interest me most are the action films. These provide me with varied entertainment and leisure at home by appealing to my imagination because I am fully immersed in the artistic work of the writer from the beginning until they reach a climax. Experts have posited that these days the media has made the world limitless or a convergent point of ideas. Therefore, I like watching documentary films because these keep me informed, especially about the cultures and traditions of the diverse peoples of our land, Nigeria, and indeed those of other lands.
And I like watching films in the categories of drama, novellas, comedies and, again, documentaries that provide me with a deep insight into the flora and fauna of the environment of Nigeria, because these also educate me about the attitudes, behavior of peoples in other societies and about the survival instincts and strategies in the animal world.
Films, to me therefore, are a necessity of life because these are media windows that adequately play important roles in my life.

Ex-International, Garba Lawal, has told Nigerian football administrators and Super Eagles coaches, never to handle Ethiopia with kid gloves but to get the Eagles in real killer mood in the battle for the 2014 World Cup ticket.
Speaking to Sunday Vanguard sports in an interview, the Atlanta ’96 Olympic gold medalist said “I would rather advise that we should focus our attention on getting the Eagles to be fit for a resounding battle.
Ethiopia should be seen as a good opposition for getting this far and NFF and Keshi should  plan for some friendly matches with an intention to toughen the team and set them fit and ready for the crucial encounter.
I really do not think they should be taken for granted. A team that qualified for this stage of the qualifiers, must be accorded due respect because it is a feat and they are good,” he said.
The former Roda FC of Holland and Lobi Stars assistant coach, urged coach Stephen Keshi to do a shake up of his line up  with a view to producing a team that would stun the Ethiopians. We are among the best the continent has, so we need to beat them but to do it, we must work hard to make it happen,” he stated.
