Lilian Afegbai’s “Hoz-bend” in Kemi Adetiba’s ‘To Kill A Monkey’ Has the Internet Buzzing

After watching To Kill A Monkey, the word husband might never sound the same again. For us? It’s officially Hoz-bend now—thanks to Idia.

One of the standout joys of the Netflix series is Idia’s unforgettable pronunciation. Played with flair by Lilian Afegbai, she didn’t just deliver lines—she gave them a whole new rhythm. Husband became Hoz-bend, juice turned into Ju-wees, and sister? Simply sist. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

But it wasn’t just the way she spoke. Lilian brought Idia to life with every gesture, every head tilt, every expression—deeply laced with Edo flavor and full of personality. It’s no wonder fans are still raving about her.

So when Kemi Adetiba jokingly asked Lilian to create a video tutorial on Idia’s unique speech, the actress happily obliged. The result? A hilarious, spot-on lesson in “Idia-speak,” complete with all the flair you’d expect.
