5 Tips From ‘Dead Serious’ To Show Your Lover You Are Committed

Is it really love if you are not willing to go above and beyond for your partner? Take a look at Johnny (Oga Sabinus), who would go to any length to prove his love for Amara (Sharon Ooja) in Showmax’s recent original, Dead Serious.

Dead Serious is a romantic comedy movie that follows Johnny’s relentless pursuit to capture Amara’s heart despite the obstacles he faces. Their romance, infused with comedic elements, takes center stage in the film.

Are you ready to prove that you are Dead Serious about that special someone? Here are five tips on how to show your undying love as inspired by Johnny.

Show up at her house:

This works in two ways: either you wait for the golden invitation or you take the bold route and just show up at her doorstep unannounced. The worst that could happen is her father chasing you away, just like Amara’s dad (Nkem Owoh) did to Johnny. But finding your way through to her father’s heart could do the trick.

Bonus point: Carry along her favourites, it might help.

Always make her laugh:

If you want to win her heart, you’ve got to make her laugh. It’s serious enough out there, so you need to be her reason to laugh. Be just like Johnny who won the heart of Amara through his great sense of humour and wit. Even Amara chose him over wealth because he makes her happy. This tells you how important a great sense of humour is.

Be ready to die for the one you love:

Ladies, if he is not willing to die for you, leave, because what is he doing alive if you aren’t? Johnny wanted nothing to do with life if the love of his life wasn’t in the world with him. Even when all his efforts were fruitless, Johnny still stopped at nothing to die for the one he loved. If Johnny could do that, then you can.

Take her out and get her favourites:

Spend all your money! Take her out, even if it’s to the market just like Johnny did with Amara, pay for everything she picks, and don’t let her carry a dime because your woman should not stress and make it as interesting as possible. You could get her favourites no matter how cheap or expensive they may be. Imagine the look on her face when she sees that you have gone out of your way for her, especially in this economy, man, you have won!

Chase her and do not give up:

No matter how fruitless it might look, chase with all your might and do not give up. One day she would finally agree. Take a look at Johnny and Amara – regardless of all the weapons fashioned against their relationship, like Johnny’s sister (Tomama) and friend (Nas Boi) who discourages him, and Amara’s father who would do anything to ensure she does not end up with Johnny. But did Johnny give up? Nope! So keep chasing and you just might have a happy ever after.

With these points, go forth and win over that girl’s heart. And please, unless you have some sort of superpower like Johnny, let’s leave the whole “dying for love” thing for him, shall we? For more love lessons and laughs, watch Dead Serious, currently streaming on Showmax.
