An Eye for a Naira is a play on one of Moses’ Law -an eye for an eye. And the project is inspired by true events.
Here’s what an eye for a Naira means: Abandoning one’s visions or dreams (call that the inner eye) and settling for anything else just for profit. Putting aside one’s dignity so one can keep up appearances.
Naira here isn’t only about money, it represents anything superficial that takes the place of the ideal- thereby short-changing ourselves. The themes covered spans poverty, vision, domestic violence et al.
