• The Zikoko guide to recognising a Nollywood bad boy

    You are welcome.

    He might have an accent because he just came back from the overseas where he lost any form of home training he might have once had

    If you are wearing a bandana or durag over your head then you must be wayward

    Having dreadlocks or braiding your hair is also a sign that you lack home training

    If you are a smoker there’s no redemption for you, you’ve sold your soul to the devil

    You and your friends only hang out in uncompleted buildings

    You don’t have to carry a gun if you are sagging your trousers you must be an armed robber

    You can’t wear dark sunglasses indoors if you do you are a cultist

    If you pierce your ears you can never be a child of God

    If you wear your cap to the front your parents raised you right but if you were it to the side you are a drug addict

    If you wear any kind of jewellery on your neck you must be doing 419
