I woke up to watch ‘Game of Thrones’ at 3am. Was it worth it?
Before we get started on what happened in the season 6 premiere of ‘Game of Thrones’ you have to know that the below article is filled with spoilers. You’ve been warned.
The question that everybody wants answered is whether Jon Snow is really dead. Like‚ for real not alive. The show wastes no time and gets straight into it: Jon Snow IS dead. His cold‚ lifeless body is lying in the snow in the courtyard of Castle Black. A group of his friends‚ including his direwolf‚ Ghost and Ser Davos mourn him. But we’re immediately suspicious. Has Davos spotted something in the pattern of blood surrounding Jon Snow? Alas‚ the resurrection that everybody wanted hasn’t happened (just yet) with Melisandre clearly surprised at his death‚ saying that she saw Jon in her flames fighting at Winterfell.
In case you still haven’t noticed‚ we’re about to hash out a lot more of what happened. Stop reading now if you don’t want any more spoilers!
Sansa and Theon are still on the run
While Ramsay Bolton mourns the death of his mistress‚ Sansa Stark and Theon Greyjoy are on the run from Ramsay’s bloodthirsty hounds. To unite the North‚ he has to produce an heir and promises to capture Sansa. But just as the pair are about to get caught‚ Brienne of Tarth steps in. Theon rises again and Sansa finally accepts Brienne’s pledge of protection.
Jaime Lannister promises revenge
It’s not a confident Cersei Lannister that we’re shown in the season premiere‚ but rather a sad and shaken version of the powerful woman we’ve come to know. She’s happy to hear of her daughter’s arrival‚ but it is Jaime who enters with Myrcella’s corpse. Cersei tells her brother (and lover) that it was predicted that her children would all perish. He’s having none of it though‚ promising to get revenge.
We’re still not done. A few more epic moments are en route.
Prince Doran is killed
In Dorne the prince and his closet men are killed by Ellaria and the Sand Snakes. Ellaria insists that “weak men will never rule Dorne again” and his son‚ Trystane‚ is also murdered.
Daenerys has been taken
The last we saw her she was surrounded by Dothraki warriors. Of course they weren’t going to leave her and she’s been taken to Khal Moro‚ their new leader. When she eventually reveals that she was married to the late Khal Drogo and will provide some goods for her safe return‚ she’s told she has to go live in the Dothraki capital with all the other widows of dead khals. Shame.
The red woman shows her true self
The show ends with Melisandre taking off her necklace and revealing her true self: she’s a very old woman. Considering the show is named The Red Woman‚ the revelation is rather significant. The big question now is whether the necklace‚ which has obvious magical powers‚ will be used to bring Jon Snow back to life. (Can we get a whoop?) Come on writers‚ you know you’re going to give it to us.
So‚ was it worth it?
Hells yeah. So Jon Snow isn’t alive. Yet. But you really didn’t expect the writers to give that to us immediately‚ did you? There was still plenty of action‚ yo. Prince Doran died. Sansa and Theon have managed to stay alive‚ which is pretty damn impressive and Melisandre is about to reveal the full extent of her powers. The countdown to episode two has officially begun.

Odumodublvck reveals how Don Jazzy gave him $10k the day he met him for collabo
Odumodublvck, the Nigerian rapper, has recalled how Don Jazzy, the music producer, gave him $10,000 during one of their meetings.
In a recent interview on Beat 97.9FM, the rapper, whose real name is Tochukwu Ojogwu, said he had reached out to Don Jazzy to collaborate on his song ‘Asampete’.
The 31-year-old said he felt that the music producer’s vocals were needed to complete the track.
Odumodublvck said during his visit to Don Jazzy’s residence, he was given the money and told that he could keep all the royalties from the song.
He added that Don Jazzy even offered to be featured as an artiste on the track.
“Don Jazzy is the king of Afrobeats. But ask anybody there is nobody who is more original than Don Jazzy. Don Jazzy is an OG. Respect to my brothers Burna, Wiz, Olamide, Dave all of us used to look up to him. Like the way we used to look up to them — Wizkid and David, they used to look up to him,” he said.
“…I just hit him up. The first day we did ‘Asampere’, I recorded a vocal that sounded like Don Jazzy’s vocal and I was like Don Jazzy should do it.
“When I went to meet him, he gave me a lot of money. I have to put it out there. I tell them everywhere I go. He gave me $10,000 cash. Don no be for mouth. He still gave me vocals.
“He now told me that I can keep all the royalties and I can keep him as a featured artiste. That day, they still cooked food for me to eat. They gave me turkey. The line for ‘turkey’ was already put in the song and that was God.”

Lil Smart files petition against Naira Marley, Zinoleesky over threat to life
Lil Smart, the Nigerian dancer, has filed a petition against Naira Marley and Zinoleesky over the alleged threat to his life.
On December 9, Smart shared disturbing photos and videos on social media, claiming his life was in danger.
He warned that Naira Marley and Zinoleesky should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
Zinoleesky, however, denied the allegations, accusing Smart of “chasing clout”. He also threatened legal action against the dancer.
In a recent Instagram post, Smart alleged he had previously endured bullying from the singers but lacked the evidence needed to take legal action.
He said he has officially submitted his petition with the necessary evidence to the authorities and is hopeful that the legal system will grant him justice.
“This has not been the first or third time I have been experiencing this bullying. But I did not have enough evidence to face the law. Now, I thank God that I have very good evidence, and I will put everything I have in line to make sure this bullying and threat to life is stopped,” he said.
“With my evidence, I really hope that they are not too big to be apprehended and face the law. I have submitted my petition, and I have provided my evidence to the authorities. By God’s grace, the law that binds us as citizens of Nigeria will make sure I get the justice I deserve.”
Naira Marley is yet to comment on the allegations.
