Dis post no just sit well with many Nigerians wey dey ask, wetin concern government agency with movie promotion? (E be like say dem no fit find better work to do?)
Di post drop on Monday for X (the former Twitter), as dem shout say di sequel don blow up big time with six million views on YouTube just within 24 hours of release. Omo, no be small thing! Dem talk say na because e bring out di best of Nigerian talent like Patience Ozokwo, Bamike Olawunmi (Bam Bam), and Uzor Arukwe. But fans wey wan understand wetin dey happen for di country no dey find am funny at all.
NOA talk say di film dey explore themes wey dey touch love, resilience, and entrepreneurship, and dem wan show how e go resonate with people. Still, plenty pipo vex say dem dey use public resources to market film wey fit promote Nigerian culture; meanwhile, other big issues dey wey need attention. (Wetin happen to national problems wey dey worry pipo?)
Social media gists don dey fly as several users don lash out on di agency. One user, @real_white, ask, “Is dis di work of di National Orientation Agency?” Na so wahala begin oo! Another user, @Dr Wealth, join say, “I never even sabi say dis Agency dey exist until now. Wetin dis one dey do for vital national issues?”
As di comments dey pour, one user @Micah talk say, “Why dem dey post dis kind shallow things when so many people dey divide along tribal and religious lines?” Na true talk oo! Dis show say many Nigerians no happy with di agency for dem choice of promotion at dis time.
Even @Chief Substance voice out say, “Na clear case of misplaced priorities. How you go use government page to promote movie when una suppose dey enlighten di public?” Na so citizens dey wonder where all dis agency intuition don waka go.
But no be only dem dey vex o, movie itself don dey fly well well, as Love in Every Word 2 don gather 13 million views in just ten days! Di sequel, produced by Omoni Oboli, dey follow di gist of Chioma and Odogwu, wey dey try navigate love and cultural differences. E be like say di story dey touch many hearts for Naija and even beyond, but di way NOA take enter di matter dey confuse people.
Dis kind response from di public means say dem dey expect more serious work from agencies wey suppose dey promote national unity, not movie gists. (Omo, Nigeria get better problems wey need solutions, abeg!)
