Snubbing Yoruba films is no longer a flex

They’ve come a long way from messy subtitles. [View in browser](=.DilhaNDZZPqYIuieyZmbIOA7Na81h_U1jwJW4gEDT7s) [Zikoko Daily] 26 July, 2023 Hey . I’m only a little ashamed to say I was among the people who made a personality out of never watching Yoruba Nollywood. I mean, what did we do to deserve subtitles like this? Anyway, they’ve stepped up their game, and we talk about it below. 👇🏼 Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [It’s the best time to be a die-hard Yoruba Nollywood stan](=.KjOXyRkZjPo8qkqcFFK0Nsqm9qNUvVBbr7_K1BdTupA) - 2 [Everything we know about Burna Boy’s new album](=.6JsAGKXc7fE09HNCRXJqI6dJ04STbouJHWxpSNaAIXY) - 3 [BBNaija all-stars eviction: All the twists and turns](=.pcuBN4tm--pcoJWOMlef86auwgmOQzS-11QzxXCa_y4) WHAT SHE SAID The Inside Gist: I Overdosed After Falling Out With My Boss =.no5Gzcg8U37_3pabdGB5s8JesXBgBAXQzn_Ss6IpNUM Heyy Tobi. I’m curious. Where did you find this subject? Via the subject request form. I found the entry jarring. She’d attempted to overdose over falling out with her boss. That was unusual because you'd expect to see that kind of reaction after a fallout with a loved one or spouse, not a working relationship. But it turns out theirs was more than a working relationship. Based on what she described, they were also friends. The story is quite emotional. Was there any part that didn’t make it to the final piece? We touched on her situationship with a colleague in the story but didn’t dwell on just how fucked up it was. The man essentially told her he liked doing things she wanted (like going on dates) with other people but not with her. E shock me. AH. What shocked me was when she revealed how people who attempted suicide in Nigeria could get arrested. I didn’t know that. Oh yeah. Trust Nigeria to be backward and do only the wrong things.
