Nigerian actress Motilola recently took to her verified social media handle to share her feelings and discomfort with the cold weather in the UK.
Motilola explained that in Ondo, people refer to cold weather as “Opapa,” so she used the same term for the chilly UK climate.
She admitted that while she used to complain about the cold back in Nigeria, she had no idea that the cold abroad would be far more intense.
Motilola said the cold weather condition right now in her location is warm up. This means there is bigger cold weather ahead.
She wrote on her caption “Honestly speaking, I don’t usually do this but mehn….
OPAPA is a lot
My Ondo people please help translate to well meaning Nigerians”
Many netizens react to her funny video
