I love Yvonne Orji on "Insecure"...she's the best thing about the series. So I really wanted to like this special. The problem is that she does her act in Nigeria, so her act is for a Nigerian audience. I am not Nigerian, so her act went right over my head. Why on earth would HBO make a show like this for an American audience? My only theory is that Orji is such a talent, and they want to keep working with her in the future, so they did this for her. But if you're not Nigerian, or Nigerian-American, this is unwatchable.

If you're not Nigerian, or Nigerian-American, you're not going to "get" this
