Nollywood lovers, get ready to feast again

Also: What’s it like growing up in a deeply religious home? [View in browser](=.G-KapEIXuabJm_MjNZGHFOiWkMBSR_1iNBUmLcG8q1o) [Zikoko Daily] 16 August, 2023 Hey . What’s the thing with children from religious homes growing up and turning away from everything their parents made them do? I grew up watching Mount Zion movies, but as an adult, I’d rather eat semo for two weeks straight than catch a glimpse of those movies. The Mount Zion binges did introduce me to my love for film, and Nollywood’s constant releases are solidifying that love. From the women of Nollywood preparing a banquet for us, to Jagun Jagun knocking everyone’s socks off, the time to restan Nollywood is now.

They didn’t cover their hair either. But I could see that they were rooted in their beliefs, like other Christians. It was bizarre to me because I come from a background where they’d have told those ladies they were going straight to hell. It made me think about things differently. Back home, there was a lot of fear-mongering. It felt like normal human things would have horrible consequences to you as a Christian.” [Read the full story here](=.Mmf4BIx5TFCUm3H2WDYQaWxaZu_7diPj161pOHXZlrU) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 3 These Nollywood women are cooking up a storm Whenever I hear “Agba cooker”, the women of Nollywood come to mind.
