Directed by Tissy Nnachi, Nollywood movie Don't Leave Home was released earlier this year and it stars talented Nollywood acts Bimbo Ademoye, Adaora Ukoh, Daniel Lloyd, Lilian Esoro and many more.
Not only did this movie tell a touching story, it exposes the deep effects of external influence on an individual. In this movie, a pregnant woman naively allowed a stranger into her life. This stranger came under the guise of 'I am also pregnant' and of course she offered friendship and was able to penetrate into the latter's life.
It is true that pregnant women experience a lot of emotions in this state. The various hormones being secreted in their body places them on a emotional rollercoaster which can explain why they may act gullible. This however isn't enough reason to let their guards down and become easily brainwashed.
So what are the lessons to be learnt from this movie:
Lesson 1
- Never let your emotions control you
Run things, do not let things run you
Lesson 2
-Old Friends are Diamonds
Ever heard of that song, Old friends are diamonds, new friends are gold? Which would you to chose to keep if you had to pick?
Lesson 3
- Do not reveal all about you all the time
Is it possible to always keep really personal information within you? What is it with women and the need to spill out everything happening in their lives to friends? Sometimes some information are better hidden or kept within.
Lesson 4
-Listen to your life partner
Some women may not agree with me on this but the institution marriage, kind of comes with some rules and regulations. A lot of people will avoid unnecessary headaches and problems if they can listen to advise from their life partner.
Lesson 5
-Never leave your home
This is for married people. Except you are in an abusive relationship and your life is threatened, do not leave your home. No matter the challenge, no matter how bad the situation is, do not leave your home until you have been able to prove beyond every reasonable doubt that it is the best option.
Finally, Karma is real and it is a known fact that everyone will reap whatever they sow, even if it takes time.
