‘Glamour Girls’ sets record, ranks in global top 5 on Netflix — despite criticism

‘Glamour Girls‘, the Nollywood film, is among Flix Patrol’s global top-five streaming on Netflix.
The project, after its June 24 debut, had initially put its producers under backlash across social media platforms.
Movie lovers had faulted the overall execution of the two-hour project including its storyline, scenes, and dialogues.
But FlixPatrol, a streaming data aggregator site, put out a June 28 list of top 10 titles showing on Netflix globally.
The platform is known to gather all possible streaming data about movies and TV shows “to help producers better understand viewers’ taste and popularity moods towards creating better and more successful films and TV shows.”
Sitting in fifth place is ‘Glamour Girls’ — despite the heavy negative feedback the film amassed after its Netflix debut.
Reacting to the criticism, Charles Okpaleke, the CEO of Play Networks, producers of the movie, had taunted naysayers, saying “it is already breaking record”.
Netflix rarely releases data but this makes ‘Glamour Girls’ the first Nollywood title to hit the top five on Flix Patrol.
In the first to fourth places are ‘The Man From Toronto’, ‘Love And Gelato’, ‘Hustle’, and ‘Spiderhead’ respectively.

I was not arrested – Kizz Daniel narrates what really happened (Video)

Nigerian singer, Kizz Daniel, has tendered an apology to his Tanzanian fans for failing to show up at a music even in the country on Sunday.
This is also as he made a clarification that he was not arrested by the police rather he was invited for questioning.
BODEX BLOG recalls that the music star was reported to have been arrested in Dar es Salaam on Monday, August 8 for failing to perform at the show.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Kizz Daniel dismissed reports that he was arrested, saying that the police only questioned him for the behaviour of fans who had earlier trashed the venue in anger over his non-appearance.
He explained his side of the story, apologised and promised a free show for Friday in collaboration with the show promoter Str8up Vibes.
“We agreed to put up a show on Friday. A free show. So, I will be partnering with Str8up Vibes. Also, I must apologise to the fans. None of this was intentional. I love my job. Mainly, I love performing.
“I didn’t mean to disrespect the fans. It was never intentional. I wanted to perform. I came to Tanzania to perform, but due to some circumstances way over my power, we couldn’t make that happen.
I apologise once again to the people of Tanzania, and I hope you guys give me another chance to give you a show, to give you a proper show, a beautiful show,” he said.
