Notions (Nollywood)

I was overhearing this movie that my roommates were watching and from the dialogues, it's the same ole cliche story of how a woman who could not cook fell in love. Then, the man left her. In a bid to be a wife material, she told her neighbor and paid a whooping sum of 250,000 naira, just to learn how to cook. Not just that, the over exaggerating lack of knowledge about the kitchen and lack of common Sense by same person.

Like, what the fuck?
What on Earth is Nigeria movies teaching?
The truth is that when I was younger, movies like those bothered me
Because we (as women) were supposed to be aiming for a man's house
And I absolutely was not someone who likes to cook, (though it's a basic necessity)
But the pressure was there
The need to know that your yards of wife material was increasing

That aside, my thoughts throughout the period I heard the film airing was "Who the fuck wrote this?"
Why do Nigeria keep doing this atrocious movies in this 21st century for Christ's sake
She cannot fry egg
She cannot wash fish
The girl doesn't know that 300 pepper cannot be added to a cup of beans
She doesn't know that curry and thyme ain't added to beans
She doesn't know how to wash clothes (even if you don't know that), and she cannot operate washing machine with all her wealth.
She doesn't know shit
Who on Earth does that?

Even if you are born with a golden spoon with nannies and maids attending to your Beck and call, Google is just a click away. YouTube has many videos, down to thoroughly showing one how to even wash fish. The exaggeration is appalling to say in the least. And to think that the female lead  came back from abroad and is acting such, God forbid!

The female lead, supposedly goes in search of clothes that are wife material type of clothes.
Is there even a prerequisite for wife material?
Infact, what's even this wife material people place emphasis on?
I thought humans are supposed to make choices as to the kind of partners they wish to have.

Honestly, Nollywood is embarrassing me all the more. And people actually sit down, read the script and decide to direct and produce this nonsense.
What will young girls feel while watching this?
That they should polish their supposedly wife materialness, unless "Man" will leave them

The funniest shit at the end of the movie was that, In an almost comical twist, the writer made it that the girl decides not to go back to the guy after he pleads for forgiveness. I don't know if that part is meant to pacify anyone. Mayhaps it succeeded, but sure did not fool anyone to excuse the sorry excuse of a script.

In my opinion, our entertainment industry is a joke. A freaking stale joke that people pretend to enjoy for the sake of leisure. I'm not in a position to tell actors what roles they should choose, but can there not be a conference or seminar or even Hangout where they can sort out this kinda things.

I don't see where Nollywood is going with this, but for the sake of the upcoming generation, there needs to be a change an it needs to be a swift one.
