I saw a post on TikTok where someone said "Itโs Garri not Cassava flakes, Akara not Bean cake, Moi moi not Bean pudding, Abacha not African salad, Suya not spicy grilled meat skewers.
Stop giving our native dishes English names!"
Honestly I couldn't agree more!
What cracked me up sef was okpa. What do you mean okpa now has an English name? โSteamed Bambara nut puddingโ. Okpa???
Another shade of neocolonialism, inferiority complex andโฆ.๐๐๐คง
Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?
This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.
Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.
If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, youโve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?
