This gist about actors arguing over what tribe started/owns Nollywood reminds me of that movie trope of the plain babe becoming a baddie, and suddenly, everyone wants to have her number. I’m not surprised — everyone wants to be associated with a baddie. I found the story in today’s #InsideGist quite surprising, though. How do you blame your child for your husband’s bad behaviour?

Here’s what she said: “When I returned home in 2020, the pandemic happened, and the government declared a nationwide lockdown. Those months were the longest time I have spent with both my parents. I saw some of the things my mum couldn’t tell me about my dad’s behaviour. He always had something to say about what she was wearing. He complained about her cooking — the food either missed a pinch of salt or a maggi cube. One day, I asked him to put the salt in the food himself since he knew what was missing. I expected my mum to side with me because I saw her face when he made these comments, but she shot me an angry look. Another time, he did it again, and I said the same thing. My mum immediately started begging me to keep quiet. That’s when I realised she was scared of him.” [Continue reading her story here](=.wqVcexA4L6bCWMsdfiOHRYa-PzvEZjYDCuRmtARIbN0) *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 The genius who brought us King of Boys is cooking again This time, Kemi Adetiba is serving us To Kill A Monkey, and of course, it’s going straight to Netflix.
