A review of Linda Ikeji’s movie, Reverse.

Published

A good story is the foundation of every great movie, and this applies in Reverse.

The movie aptly employs flashbacks to keep you guessing, revealing important details at just the right moment.

Watching this movie felt like being in a game of whack-a-mole. It depicts one of those bad days where you’re hopping about, quenching fires, and as soon as you succeed in suppressing one, another erupts.

It also manages to evoke deep emotions and leaves you with questions and “if onlys” – If only Edna had resolved the issue amicably earlier, if only the CFO had been less rigid…

The actors were perfectly cast; the family members all look alike, making their story believable.

The actors also interpreted their roles well. I’d forgotten how good an actress Hilda Dokubo is.

The story is relevant and subtly addresses a number of topical issues in Nigeria. We see the welder who brazenly abuses his apprentice and nobody bats an eye, the incompetence of artisans, the unscrupulous bystander who plays a fast one on a family during a crisis, the hospital’s payment before treatment policy…

What I enjoyed the most about Reverse is the unpredictability. Don’t try to guess, just allow for the many moments of surprises.

I also love that the movie manages to be didactic without being preachy.

Having seen this movie, I have two messages to pass along:

Go and see Reverse between now and Thursday, May 22 (swipe for cinemas and show times).

Don’t leave just yet when the end credits start rolling in.

Jarvis in tears as relationship with Peller hits tough times

Published

on

TikToker, Jarvis, recently broke down in tears during a live-streaming session, shedding light on the ongoing tension in her relationship with fellow content creator, Peller.

The emotional moment occurred during a joint live broadcast that featured other popular TikTokers, Sandra Benede and Seun Pizzle. In the video, Jarvis expressed her frustration, accusing Peller of breaching her trust by publicly sharing private details of their relationship.

According to her, any time she opens up to Peller about personal issues, he brings them up during his live sessions, often inappropriately. “He doesn’t know how to filter his words when he’s live,” she said, explaining why she has stopped confiding in him.

When asked what triggered the recent disagreement, Jarvis admitted the matter had deeper layers. “There are many reasons Peller is angry, but he’s taking it public. We’ve already talked about these things privately, but because it hasn’t been addressed online…”

On his part, Peller accused Jarvis of being secretive and not informing him of her plans in advance. He maintained that he’s open with her about his life and doesn’t hold anything back.

Venting his frustrations during his own live session, he said, “How can I claim this kind of girl? Do you know what this girl did? I don’t like Jarvis; she has offended me. I’m just helping her life now. I’m trying to accept her back, but she has already hurt me.”

The situation sparked debate among fans, many of whom were skeptical about the authenticity of the drama. Some suggested it might be content-driven, predicting that the pair would soon reconcile as they had in the past.

This isn’t the first public spat between the couple. In March 2025, Jarvis called out Peller and threatened to end their engagement following another heated argument.

Since making their relationship public in 2024, Jarvis and Peller have been the subject of intense online speculation, with many doubting the longevity of their romance. Their relationship gained widespread attention in December 2025 when Peller proposed to her in a viral video.
