I woke up to watch ‘Game of Thrones’ at 3am. Was it worth it?

Published

on

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.

Is Jon snow really dead

Is Jon snow really dead?

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.

AY Makun, Basketmouth discuss their 17-year feud

Published

AY Makun and Basketmouth have made their first public appearance together, marking a new chapter after their 17-year feud.

The rift between the two prominent comedians began in 2006 over unpaid performance fees and intensified in 2022, with both avoiding each other publicly.

In March 2023, AY claimed Basketmouth had yet to pay him for a show he anchored for him. Responding, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, following Basketmouth’s apology in 2023, both comedians have put aside their differences.

In the latest episode of the ‘Glass House with AY‘ podcast, the comedian argued he did not get the money for the show while Basketmouth maintained that he was paid.

AY also shared insights into his prolonged rift with Basketmouth.

“I did not know when the fight started. I just noticed it started. Every day I wake up thinking it is a normal thing, boys will be boys and like that, it grew into several years,” he said.

“Then the third year, it seems like people were spreading more rumours about the feud till it lasted that long. It lasted too long”.

AY emphasised the feud’s impact on younger comedians. “Our feud caused some damages because in a way we were like providers for people,” he said.

Basketmouth added: “Most times people swear allegiance by default. So when we were not on good terms some people made it their business”.

“…A comedian called me to tell me AY reached out to him for a gig and was asking if it was okay to work with AY. I told him it was okay and I was happy it happened because people would know it was okay to work for either of us because it was about more money and opportunities.

“There was a guy who picked a side and came at me. Now that we are cool, he would be confused. It is collaboration over competition.”

Paul Okoye accuses Peter of song theft, vows to release ‘original version’

Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has accused Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, his twin brother, over alleged intellectual property theft.

Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ — a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, no longer exists.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Rudeboy claimed that the song was his, arguing that it was supposed to feature in his forthcoming album. He also alleged the producer hijacked the track.

“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day,” he wrote.

“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”

In another post, the singer vowed to release “original versions of any copied songs”, adding that “the days of manipulation are over”.

“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.

Uche Ogbodo reveals why she blocked May Edochie on social media

Uche Ogbodo, the Nollywood actress, has opened up about her decision to block May, the first wife of Yul Edochie, on social media.

The actress was responding to critics who linked the recent robbery at her boutique store to her support for Yul’s second wife Judy Austin via her Instagram page.

Uche claimed May’s fans have been consistently harassing her online. The film star said this prompted her to block May due to her “apparent tolerance for their toxic behaviour”.

She emphasized that karma does not target innocent people with pure hearts, and clarified that the robbery was simply a life event, not a form of karma.

Uche also expressed frustration with the “negative comments from May’s supporters”, telling them to stop watching her videos if they are bothered.

“Toxic May Edochie fans! Unah go dey Taya ooo. Very very toxic bunch of lunatics! You people don’t own this social media,” she wrote.

“No matter how toxic you get, you can never pass Wizkid’s FC. Stop watching my videos if it hurts so bad. Misfortune is life, and it’s rotational; it will surely swing. So wait for your own turn. Allow me to enjoy mine.

“Singing Karma Karma. Does karma visit innocent person? Someone whose heart is pure and not ridden with evil? Hell No!

“Thief stole my goods then it’s my Karma because I chose to mind my business. The real karma is coming to you for being evil and vile towards people.

“I blocked May because you wouldn’t let me like her pictures in peace. And she seems to enjoy the toxicity! So that pisses me off! As she cannot tell you to stop.”
