  1. This is an interesting video. My only critique would be that because Dayo Olopade doesn’t smile or nod her head, the effect of her message on swaying those disinclined to agree with her is muted a bit. Every time the video buffered a snarl was upon her face. My limited knowledge of Behavioral Economics and Psychology leads me to believe that that is a bad thing.
