The hosts of “Two angry men” from BattaBox.com (Nigeria’s only user led entertainment and news video site) will initiate a series of conversations formed from battabox’s own videos with the most views over the last year. Some are very funny and will have you rolling with laughter, some will surprise you and some are thought provoking.

All are 100% Nigerian uncut and will leave you wanting to continue the conversation. This event is for gist lovers who can’t get enough of just how amazing, crazy, dramatic, we are as Nigerians. It is also for all non-Nigerians to experience our diversity and joie de vivre and Nigerians in the diaspora missing home and not willing to sit through 3 hours of a Nollywood movie.
