Africa! Africa!! Africa!!!

See Africa's Most Underrated Country-NAMIBIA
The Image of Africa has been distorted around the globe and we are changing the narratives one country at a time.  
Until the history of Africa is told by Africans, the story of greatness will always glorify the imperialists.
It's Time For Africans To Unite...

A 3RD-GENERATION HEIRLOOM Earlier today, I visited Centre for Research, Information Management and Media Development (CRIMMD). Just so you know: It's the richest private museum + library of Nigeria's history, in Idimu area of Lagos (en route Ikotun). Shortly after my tour, Founder & Curator @drraphaeljames brought out this gem of an artifact -- Ada (ceremonial staff for a title holder in Benin-City) for me to see. I was blown away. It's solid, heavy metal -- excellent artistry and intricate motifs. The museum acquired it last December from the family that owned it for 3 generations. From calculations, It is at least 122 years old. I held on to it for a long time. It felt like I should go home with it. There is plenty to see in here. Go as soon as you can. PS: CRIMMD Library, 138 Ejigbo-Idimu road, by Ago-Adura bus stop, opposite Chrisland College in Idimu, Lagos 📷 @stylomedia1

NOLLYWOOD at its finest

Everybody still talks about Osuofia.  And "Living In Bondage" is said to be THE classic.

I slept through 30 Days In Atlanta and Two Brides and a Baby.  Was very pleased, pleasantly surprised, with Inale.  I still really want to see Confusion Na Wa (Help?)

Flower Girl (I got a pirated 1/2-film) seemed like such fun.  And I really liked Tango With Me and even Anchor Baby.  This cohort is quality stuff, relatively.  Which one should I watch next?

I've seen four of five.  The Meeting's the best.  Jenifa is hilarious.

Again here I've seen four of five.  The crowd loved Mr. and Mrs. I did not.  I really need to see Phone Swap. 

 There are many good films from Nigeria not on this list.  Care to add them in the comments?
