from Saved by Sin, dir. Peter Udoche
The aphorism is "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." The narrator of this film, in the fabulously jocular yet intensely moral way the Nigerian film industry has of manipulating English, says "If you have the right to live in a glass house, I reserve the right to throw stones" (at 8:00).
He flips a cautionary phrase into a call for retaliation, and he might be addressing the entire West, grown fat from centuries of exploiting the world's resources. Economic barriers will no longer keep Nigeria in servitude.
