A Nigerian lady who recently watched Daniel Etim-Effiong’s debut film, The Herd, on Netflix has shared a moving and deeply emotional review of the controversial title, stirring conversations across social media.
Tianah Jubilee, a fashion designer, described the movie as far beyond regular entertainment, calling it a powerful reflection of Nigeria’s present-day reality. She said the film felt like “watching Nigeria cry out loud,” capturing the pain and helplessness many citizens experience daily.
A Film That Mirrors the Nation’s Mood
Jubilee noted that The Herd mirrors the struggles Nigerians confront—from insecurity to fear—making the story feel uncomfortably familiar rather than fictional.
Set in Ekiti State, the crime-thriller follows a wedding ceremony that spirals into chaos after the couple and other travelers are abducted by gunmen disguised as herdsmen. The gripping plot sheds light on issues many viewers say echo real-life security challenges.
Her review has since drawn attention online, with many agreeing that the film’s intensity reflects harsh truths about the country.
