NIGERIAN PRINCE (2019)

In this Netflix movie, Eze, an American teenager born to Nigerian immigrants, is sent by his mother to Lagos to live with his stern aunt and be immersed in his native culture. He immediately falls in with his older Nigerian cousin, Pius, and is immersed in the Nigerian National Pastime--scamming--and in the all-pervasive official corruption that sustains it. The culture of scamming makes everyone betray everyone else, family and friendships be damned. A well-acted, well-directed, well-written look at an unfamiliar culture.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
