    7 Reasons Why Nigerians Will Survive In A Horror Movie

    If a Nigerian was put in all those horror movie situations where people make stupid decisions and die, there is a hundred per cent chance that the Nigerian might end up killing the scary guy. Here are 7 reasons why.

    1. They won’t move into a cursed house

    No force dead or alive can convince a Nigerian to move into a house everyone thinks is cursed. They are far too superstitious for that. That horror movie will end in the beginning.

    2. They won’t follow anyone to the cemetery

    Except it’s for a burial, you’d never find a Nigerian casually walking around a cemetery. Especially, not at night.

    3. They wouldn’t participate in an exorcism

    No Nigerian teenager in their right mind would consider delivering someone “possessed” without the help of a professional.

    4. They wouldn’t keep picking calls from unknown numbers

    If you’ve seen Nigerians insult services providers that call to advertise, or people that call their numbers by mistake, you’d know that this is a bad Idea. If you call to scare them, they will just insult your generation.

    5. If ghosts are playing with the lights, they’d think it’s Nepa moving mad

    Their minds won’t even think it’s a ghost playing with the light when we already have Nepa doing that for us everyday.

    6. Nobody can pursue you with a knife because there would be traffic

    Imagine trying to pursue someone to kill them in Nigeria? By the time you sit down in two hours of traffic, all the ginger to kill would have died. Plus, Nigerians will catch you and burn you with tire and that would be the end of the horror movie.

    7.  Nigerians don’t do forest hikes

    Why would anyone walk into a forest to hike for fun? Inside that forest, kidnappers would have even kidnapped the horror movie killer anyways.

    10 Life Lessons We Can Learn From Horror Movies

    It’s easy to get lost in the gore and jump scares when watching horror movies. But the truth is that they also teach pretty valuable life lessons. Life lessons like:

    1) Never split up.

    If you do, ALL of you WILL die.

    2) Never go see what the strange noise is.

    Because whatever is making that noise WILL kill you.

    3) Never look in a mirror in the dark.

    Because your reflection WILL kill you.

    4) Never buy a porcelain doll/ventriloquists dummy.

    Because it will be inhabited by an evil spirit and it WILL kill you.

    5) When lying in bed, never leave your leg exposed (out of the blanket/hanging over the bed).

    Because the monster under your bed WILL bite it clean off.

    6) Never close your eyes while taking a shower.

    Because your insane landlord with multiple personalities dressed as his dead mother WILL stab you to death if you do.

    7) Never drive behind a log truck.

    Because one log WILL roll off and impale you.

    8) Never follow anyone to their super secluded home town for any reason.

    Because they WILL use you as the sacrifice in a festival.

    9) Never put a chair in the corner of your room.

    Because an evil spirit WILL come sit in it…and kill you later.

    10) Never mess around with the paranormal.

    Do not play with ouija boards, seances, cute magic spells you found on the internet, etc. Because you WILL accidentally summon a violent entity and unleash it on mankind.

    The Zikoko Guide To Making A Nigerian Horror Movie

    1. Location is everything. You can use the city but the bush is always better.

    The forest will add an extra layer of suspense to the movie. And you can’t beat those natural sounds of the owl hooting or the crickets chirping to make your movie extra scary.

    2. You will need a white sheet for your ghost.

    The ghost wearing it may or may not have their face painted white. The sheet takes care of that.

    3. There has to be a chief priest or scary old man who uses cowrie shells to talk with the gods.

    4. There must be a coven of witches that will be destroyed.

    Yes! Up up Jesus! Down down Satan!

    5. You can include an animal in your movie, but don’t worry about getting the real thing, visual effects will do.

    6. Also include a mystical creature or two which the hero/heroine(s) will battle and eventually kill.

    7. You’ll also need Patience Ozorkwor to lead your coven of witches.

    And they have to be dressed in red.

    8. Then you’ll need zobo. Lots of zobo.

    9. You’ll also need white chalk. Plenty of white chalk.

    Or white talcum powder. You can take your pick.

    10. And you’ll need to get this guy:

    And make him use his family for rituals.

    11. But if you can’t find him, you can also use this guy:

    And you better make him king.

    Your horror movie can also feature:

    12. Skin diseases…

    13. Multiple breasts…

    14. And Medusa…

    Or at least the Nigerian Medusa.

    15. Or you can just pack some boys into the bush, tell them to remove cloth and carry coffin in the night for money ritual.
