THINGS I RECOMMEND DURING THE QUARANTINE

Hi guys

I hope everyone is doing good during this quarantine period. I know it's hard for most people to be in one place for so long but I do commend everybody that has stayed home to the best of their ability.

FOR THE NETFLIX LOVERS

Nigerian shows and movies:

1. King of boys: 10/10 would recommend. The acting, the plot and just basically everything came together in this movie. It is very foreigner friendly with good captions. contains strong violence

2. The visit: this was a very good movie that had a very unexpected plot. It's foreigner friendly but contains some slang that might require a Nigerian friend for translations. The captions aren't very accurate but they tried their best. Contains sensual content

3. Wedding Party: I feel like practically everyone under the sun has seen this movie. It's very funny and foreigner friendly.

4. Chief daddy: I particularly wasn't keen on this one. I felt like there was a chunk of the movie missing. However, everyone else seemed to love the movie. Foreigner friendly.

5. Seven and a half dates: at first, I was very worried that the movie was rubbish. As it went on, it became more interesting. Definitely foreigner friendly

6. Crazy, lovely, cool: I cannot wait for season 2 to be out. This really highlights public university life in Nigeria. It had a lot of funny moments as well as serious moments. Loved it. For the most part, it's foreigner friendly.

7. Potato Potahto: Starring Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas. Foreigner friendly

Well guys, I really hope these helped some of you because I know it's hard for most people to stay home for so long, but we just need to remember that staying home is for the greater good. I know how much everyone wants to eat out or meet friends but it is imperative that we all stay indoors. Please comment if you have any other suggestions or any propositions.

I love you guys. Thanks for reading.
