Is it just me? Or is Jim Iyke's "reality" show the fakest thing on tv? From the fake accent the the fake ass Nollywood inspired scenes, his bleached out sisters and the small corner shop he fondly refers to as a "mall". Ok... so before am accused of being a hater, let me give some credit where credit is due... the production is quite good for Nigerian/African standards, the camera quality is also good but thats about it.
The show lacks good content, how can entire episode of a be shot in a shop in a mall trying to make up or breakup with his girlfriend of five years Keturah who recently confessed that it was in fact a script she was given to act out. She didn't even need to share that bit of information because in my opinion it was very obvious she was acting. . I mean who does that? Who acts like a freak on international television? Or maybe she was trying to be one of the "real housewives" or maybe channelling her inner "basketball wives". Someone should have at least told her that the fake massive rock on jer fake ring fell off.. or was it her concealer that was disintegrating from the rest of her makeup? Like chalk was smouldered around her eyes? Was so hard to watch how Jim couldn't even get her a proper makeup artist to professionally apply her makeup for the award show he was hosting. She claimed to be on tour with Diddy and Jay-z really? As what exactly? I guess she may even be delusional. ..I think that even if the Keturah scene was for real he wouldn't want it aired to protect his image.
Another scene worthy of note is the part when he was calling the Hispanic/mixed race looking girl a "white girl"...like really??? Jim?? How? and asking for her number behind your girl's back was so uncool and you played it out for the whole world to see?
Need i say that the director and editors on the show should be fired because the show lacks proper direction, a concrete plot and a chronological order of events.
Finally, I give Jim an A for effort and a D for execution. Word of advice bros, try talking normally with your normal Nigerian accent, it will do you a trailer load of good. We still love you Jim... at least you are giving us something to watch on boring African T.V.
