Hello people π, I have a book coming out in two weeks titled oluse: The Genesis ( pronounced O-lu-shay), Here's the cover art by the amazing @AnthonyAzekwoh, it's based on Yoruba mythology, please retweet, thanks π«ΆπΉ
Pardon?????
Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".
Yen yen yen ππ
Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?
Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .
If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.
I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.
I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.
I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.
I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.
I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.
Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.
You know why I love this app? Itβs because you get to learn things whether you like it or not.
Only from this tweet have I learned that the movie βGang Of Lagosβ is in court for a costume they used in the movie. The producers (and Amazon) got hit with a lawsuit from the Isale-Eko Descendants Union over how the movie portrayed the Eyo Masquerade and the Isale-Eko community. The court basically ruled they misrepresented the culture, turning a revered tradition into something tied to gangs and violence. They were ordered to publicly apologize, and there were calls to pull the film.
Also, I was reminded of the past times where a movie is released and the producers get sued because they tried to be real with every element of the acting and the public calls for the movie to be taken down. The wonders you see in Nigeria!
A movie was made and all everyone is more concerned about is the prison uniform worn on set, not the acting and execution. Just because it didnβt suit your supposed narrative, you all labeled it βunfit and poor researchingβ instead of calling out your government that loves hiding its failures in poor policies and intimidation.
Well, what do I know? But one thing I know is Iβm definitely watching this movie. Did you all see the actorsβ lineup? Menhhhh π₯
There was a time I broke down because of the work load, I was crying at work, she called me, apologized, bought me food, asked me to take a break and within the week, a new person was hiredπ₯Ή
