Mo Abudu, don’t do it

It has been announced that this brilliant Lady has just won the rights to the Hushpuppi story from one white man and this gives me a lot of concern.

Yes Hushpuppi is all that, but trying to commercialize a story that is still evolving smirks of opportunism of the worst kind.

A story written by a third party, obviously without the subjects consent and definitely not with his own side being told can only be defective and wobbly.

My main issue here is the strengthening of whatever stereotypes or profiling of Nigerians by the rest of the world this story will depict

There is no way Nigeria and Nigerians will come out of this her film with any positives, hence my lack of understanding her exuberance or joy in this misadventure.

We have so many positive stories about us she can use her leverage to tell. If she doesn’t know any, let me name some.

Anthony Joshua, the Nigerian Basketball Team that recently beat the almighty American Team and so many heroic feats of Nigerians all over the world.

Why this cesspool of a Hushpuppi story is engaging her is what I don’t understand.

I have always looked at Ms. Abudu from a distant. I respect her achievements and her many feats, but this unbridled rush for global relevance on the back of a leprous story which is not representative of our people beats me.

Madam leave that story, there is nothing to tell there.

Thank you.
