Mr Gomina Oritshefemi Investigated By Gbagaun Detectives


Oritshfemi recently released a new music video titled Mr Gomina Featuring one of Mavin's finest Reekado Banks. Very cool song, well directed video...BUT!
We were wondering when Governors start wearing military ceremonial attires? And assuming they do, we are most certain it wont carry the rank of a sergeant in the Airforce.

That said, we love the comical dance step in this video. Absolutely hilarious. You should go watch it.



Good video from Frizzle but for that one goof busted by our detectives. All the best in your rule "Sergeant" Gomina. By the way, what are you grabbing down there Governor sir?

Falz And his Policemen- BUSTED by GBAGAUN COPS

 

Honestly i am a fan of Falz' accent and talent. The Goof in his "police is truly your friend" skit was however belittling of the class and standard we expect his productions to be. It was so easily spotted by our crack team of gbagaun detectives that we decided not to do any long thing of analyzing the video. As a matter of fact, we would want our readers to try and spot the goof from the pictures below.  Comment on the post to let us know what you spotted. the pictures from the shoot says it all.

Professor Charles Xavier Busted In X-men First Class By The Goof Cops


The X men franchise has been a success right from the its first release in 2000 till the most recent release in 2016, X-men Apocalypse. I was watching one of my favourites in these set of blockbusters, X-men- The first class when in my goof detecting senses spotted a twist in the plot that was absolutely unreal. Yeah, we know Sebasten Shaw had to die but how he died makes the script questionable.

Shaw had been wearing a helmet which made it impossible for Charles Xavier's telepathy and mind control to work on him. Eric also known as Magneto wanted Shaw dead while Professor Xavier wanted him captured alive. To win Shaw, Eric had to remove the helmet while the professor immediately paused him using mind control. Eric immediately wore the helmet to prevent the professor from getting into his mind too. 

 
The professor knew Eric's intents and tried to stop him before being shut out with the helmet. However, the professor keeps hold of Sebastian Shaw's mind while Eric pierced through his brain with a coin. All the professor could do according to the script was scream and cry as he felt the pain Shaw felt.

Seriously?!


THE GBAGAUN(THE GOOF)
Professor Xavier obviously did not want shaw killed by Eric in the submarine. The professor was the one who paused Shaw using his telepathic powers. If he truly did not want Eric to kill Shaw with the coin, all he had to do was release him from the mind control. Shaw would have dodge the coin that pierced through his head or probably spit it out as a bullet while giving Eric a good fight. 

However all Professor Xavier did was to scream while feeling the pain Shaw felt in his last few seconds. That part of the script appears a serious goof considering the personality of Charles Xavier and how he even fought Eric to save the thousands of men in the Ships later on.

Gbagaun Police Nails Sansa Stark In Game of Thrones S06 E09


If you are a follower of Game of thrones then you must know by now that last week's episode 9 tagged Battle of the Bastard was absolutely breath taking. Finally the masters and their soldiers were giving a dragon treatment by the dragon queen, Daenerys.

About the same period the battle of the bastards was fast gaining momentum with Jon Snow pitched against Ramsey Bolton. Sansa Stark chose to be present at the final talks between lords of both side before the war begins. She eventually left the talks angrily after letting Ramsey know he would die next day.



Jon Snow and others continued negotiations with Ramsey but war was eminent as both sides refused to surrender. Ramsey then promised to feed them all to his hound of dogs whom he claimed had not eaten for seven days.



Fast forward the next night and Ramsey is defeated, wounded and chained in his dog cage. Sansa then reminded him of his threat to them and the he is now the one to be fed to his dogs. Ramsey is quick and confident to reply that his dogs are faithful and will never attack him. Sansa replied that he had told them they had not fed in 7 days. And the dogs drove at his jaws and flesh while sansa walked away smiling.



THE GBAGAUN(THE GOOF)- Sansa was not present or on the scene when Ramsey made his threat. She had angrily rode away on her horse. Why would she now claim knowledge of the threat like she was there? That is one major goof from the crew of Game of Thrones. Just to let you know even the best could goof every now and then. How directors D. B. Weiss, Brian Kirk, Neil Marshall, David Nutter, David Petrarca, Alan Taylor and HBO missed that leaves us at the Gbagaun police headquarters impressed with our investigative skills.

Gbagaun Police Investigates Joe Praize- Busted!


Joe Praize goofs on the video of his Unchangeable God. Who takes the blame for this? Artiste or director? You tell me when you read details of the GBAGAUN.

So the video is set in a village that gets its water from a river. The water is corrupted by some forces and the villagers who use the water gets infected with leprosy. Along comes Mr Joe Praise as the king and villagers went to inspect the river. He prays and the water is purified and also heals the sick villagers.

On to the next scene, the villagers and Joe praise are seen celebrating and dancing and right next to them are 2 water tanks and bore hole system.



THE GOOF- Why were the villagers fetching water from a river in the first place when they have clean water running in pipes close to them? Lawrence Omo Iyare the director should have avoided using that location for the dance/celebration scene.

Like we always say..nothing personal. Just work harder next time and avoid goofs and we hope readers have learnt a thing or two from this Gbagaun Arrest.

Wizkid's Ojuelegba Video Investigated By The Gbagaun Police



I am a fan of wizzy yeah,but I am a goof cop too and I love my job. Clarence Peters and Wizkid are definitely going to need a lawyer to save them from proofs of the goofs discovered during our investigation of OJUELEGBA video.

Capital dreams shot Ojuelegba video some months ago but we never got around to previewing it until recently. Here are the goofs.

Gbagaun 1
These had to do with the editing sequence. Wizkid was sitting in the bus when he started singing the first verse. However, the next shot shows him just getting into the bus. What do we call that Clarence? #backtothefuture #stevenspielberg

Gbagaun 2
How does moving from eating pounded yam at a joint and now eating fruits in your house signify increase or blessings? Was the writer trying to tell us only poor men eat pounded yam at bukas? 

Dear Clarence, have you been to the buka beside Ghana high commission around Obalende? Was the director trying to say Wizkid does not eat pounded yam with correct efo riro plus bush meat again? Is Wizkid now a vegetarian? Goofspotter alert!
Lovely camera work during that particular transition but the props did not do justice to what was being communicated.

Basketmouth and Buchi "Exposed" By The Gbagaun Police Force



Now I know how hard it is when a policeman has to investigate his friend or family member for breaking the law. This is because the "culprits" behind this production are friends to the Gbagaun Police Chief.

When I first came across the video “BasketMouth’s Girlfriend Exposed” via BBM, I was blown away by Buchi’s countenance when he was threatened by Basketmouth especially the way he held his chest like someone about to have a heart attack. “Spare my life”, he barely blurted out. I had a good laugh. 

You can watch the video here incase you missed it for the uncensored show earlier in the year.

But like you know, which is why you always look forward to our next detective job, we are not all about the laughter or the grammar. We correct the errors made by these talented and some not so talented entertainers.

Enjoy reading the facts of investigation.

THE STORY
Basketmouth arrives in his house unannounced to find the path to his room littered with male and female clothes and underwear. He is immediately thrown into misery as that suggested his girlfriend whom he left at home had a marathon pre sex session with another man before making it into their room

Basketmouth gets to the doors and reluctantly badges in to meet Buchi romping his girlfriend. The betrayed boyfried threatens to kill Buchi. However the tension was shortlived as Buchi offers him a bag filled with dollars just to spare his life.

Basketmouth immediately changed tone and became hospitable towards Buchi. Buchi refuses all his offers and asks to leave instead.

Fast forward a few minutes later and Buchi is safe on the road. He makes a call which reveals that he had hustled Basketmouth with fake dollars.

THE GBAGAUNS  
Gbagaun 1
The room basketmouth approached is not the same room he opened. This is normally done in film making provided you can escape with it without your viewers knowledge. In this case, the pink wall in the background after opening the door drew our attention to the goof.

Bovi's Diamond Bank Advert Busted By The Gbagaun Police



The Gbagaun Police have been busy with some serious detective work and we are putting up the mugshot of a goofing culprit today. Guess who we caught dropping an advert, trying so hard to make it funny but ending up with several GOOOFFFFFS? Bovi in the new diamond bank advert.

You may have caught it on TV but incase you haven't, continue to watch it below.

If I had to ring a bell for the gbagauns in this advert, y’all be having an headache when you are done reading.

The bank down the road, by the……?  Yeah right. The question should have been;  the Bovi diamond advert, on the……?

Let’s get straight to the story and the plenty goofing.

THE STORY.

A man is about to make payment in a store using his cheque book. The cashier or a friend(I am not sure of his role) asks him to go ahead and write the cheque. The man complains about the bank charges for the cheque service. Bovi comes in and asks if it is the bank down the road, by the….. The man and cashier/friend replies that he is correct. Bovi introduces them to Diamond Bank as a better option that will give them better services. Bovi brings out the bank’s cheque book and drops it with them. Bovi walks off.

The next scene shows a woman seated in a restaurant and on a phone call. She is complaining about her inability to get a loan from her bank. Bovi serves her food and sits opposite her. She is startled by him. He asks if it is the bank down the road, by the….. She replies affirming with a nod. He introduces her to Diamond bank as a bank where granting of loans is simple. He gives her the bank’s envelope and leaves.

Final scene shows Bovi pretending to be an office cleaner dressed in suit. He sneaks into a worker’s office. The man closes his laptop after an unsuccessful attempt to do an online banking transaction. Bovi is seated opposite him.  The man is startled by his presence. Again, Bovi asks if it is the bank down the road, by the…… The man also confirms his guess. He introduces him to Diamond bank by saying if he cannot bank anywhere, anytime, he need a new bank. He then hands over his(Bovi’s) ATM to the man. Bovi leaves.

Advert Ends.

THE GBAGAUNS.

Oh my God. If only Honourable Patrick Obahiagbon can help with some grammatical huhu haha to dissect the tabon tabon of this advert infinitum? LOL. 

Who wrote this script? Who directed this piece? I am sorry. In as much as I understand they wanted to take advantage of the humour a comedian like Bovi brings to the table, they should at least write a script that can be defended as coherent and realistic. Other than that, why not just make your work purely fictional like indomitables. If you want your advert to reflect every day living, then it has to make every day sense. Not when you are trying to put other banks below your as per rating should you goof like this.

I am sure by now, some of our dear readers would have picked out the goofs and gbagauns but let me highlight a few.

Gbagaun 1
Bovi wore three different outfits, one for each of the location. This signifies that each scene was probably different days at different neighborhoods. How come the bank remained down the road, by the………..? Did the bank keep moving to every road Bovi went? Or did he keep coming back to the same road daily to haunt the same bank, same branch?

Naija FM's Mad Man Jingle


I am an ardent lover of Naija FM 102.7 because of the way they discuss issues with so juch humour and comedy. No matter how serious an issue is, naija fm's presenters will make you laugh before the show is over. So it is only normal that they should be the first to be featured on this blog. Enjoy the VIP table naija fm. Abi u nor understannnnnnndddd.........

There is a skit that has been running for a while now on the station.

THE STORY

A man is led by some people to see the psychiatrist/doctor. On getting there, the man quickly tells the doctor that he is not mad. The mad man claims that the persons who brought him insist he is mad but he has told them over and over that he is not mad.

The doctor listens and asks if the mad man can convince him that he is not mad. The mad man agrees that the doctor should test him. The doctor asks some question concluding by asking him what a noun is. To the uttermost shock of the doctor, the mad man  gave perfect answers to all the questions.

The doctor certifies him okay and the mad man was excited accusing the people that brought him as the mad ones. He then tells the doctor that all the answers he gave came from the kidney while pointing to his head. The doctor asks him why he is pointing to his head but he insists that what he is pointing at is his kidney. Immediately the doctor changed his mind and concluded that he is indeed mad.

The man got angry and insisted the doctor is mad. They exchanged words and the doctor shouted for the security to come and get man out of his office.

The acting was well delivered and actually funny. I enjoy it every single time it is played.
