Nigerians have reacted to the release of a Hollywood movie titled Children of the Corn.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Twitter Nigerians have dropped funny reaction as some kicked against the movie.
On March 21, a movie marketing website reported that the horror picture had launched in theaters, but it garnered an unexpected flood of replies.
Following the announcement, Nigerians on the microblogging platform swamped the comment section with requests that the film not be released in Nigerian theaters.
The term “Agbado,” which is Yoruba for corn, gained popularity after Bola Tinubu, the president-elect and a previous candidate for the APC, mentioned during his campaign that juvenile recruit soldiers could be fed it.
People used it as an internet joke and quip, but the movie’s release, which occurred after Tinubu won the presidential race, left people with a bad taste in their mouths.
While some demanded that it be canceled or barred from Nigerian soil, others saw it as material that could be used to make jokes online.
