All you have to do is check some of the subtitles on some Nigerian films. However, my concern today is the subtitling of Nigerian and other African films on Netflix. When Fifty (directed by Biyi Bandele) became the first Nigerian film to appear on Netflix, there were many noticeable errors, some as prominent as writing wrong names for characters. Mind you, my main concern is not the translation of any Nigerian language to English but the correct representation of the English being spoken in our films. You may be asking why I enable my subtitles considering that the language being spoken is English?
