Private film gathering give Olamide chance to talk about cultural identity on Tuesday, 3 November. Di Nigerian rapper say make people no automatically treat Yoruba tradition as evil. TheCable Lifestyle and Legit report wetin e talk for screening of film by actress and producer Tayo Sobola, wey people know as Sotayo Gaga.
Di two news outlets call di film Ose Dudu, wey mean black soap. TheCable say di private viewing happen for The Pod by Nile Luxury Cinemas. Private screening na special gathering for invited audience. News about dat gathering alone no prove say di film just open for cinemas across Nigeria or get new release date.
Olamide main point na say person fit proud of where e come from and im tradition without shame. E connect di point to im own Yoruba identity, say if dem offer am black soap, e go collect and use am. Na im personal choice and sense of belonging. No be test of particular product or approval of everything dem sell with dat name.
Di words matter because film discussion fit quickly turn to bigger claim online. Wetin di rapper reject na to automatically call people tradition diabolical. To report say e reject am no mean we must accept supernatural claims, say every Yoruba person get di same belief, or treat drama as true account of everyday life.
Make we still remember Sobola role: na filmmaker screening, no be Olamide concert. Di talk bring musician into discussion wey Yoruba-language film start. Di reports wey dey available tell us wetin e talk and where e talk am; dem no give audience survey or prove say everybody wey watch agree.
Wetin e mean for you. Take di clip as contribution to cultural discussion and separate am from skincare or religious decisions. Performer personal preference no be medical evidence. If you dey look for di film, check availability through di producer own channels. No assume say because dem do private viewing, e don open for cinema near you.
