I saw this this movie just last week and I decided that this is a 'must watch' for me. First off, I want to apologize in advance for any blunder that might occur in this write-up.. English is not my mother tongue, I am a proud Nigerian., west-side to be precise, and where i am from Yoruba is my main language.. I am more than grateful to Jets Amata for a wonderful script, a beautiful plot and perfect execution by the actors.
If not that this world is just a dying and a biased one, this movie for me should win an Oscar. If it were to be an American, Korean or Indian it would be nominated and probably win an Oscar award., but being a story about Nigeria and its looters, being a story about how suffering and cheating is deep rooted in Nigeria, being a story about how the Nigerian government is so f up and corrupted, it's just gonna be left alone to rot. 5 years and still nothing has changed for good., it keeps getting worse and everything around here (Nigeria) keeps deteriorating., while the United states and the United Kingdom gets all the spoils and riches from our Natural resources. My grandma used to talk about how 1$ was equal to 1naira back then in the '50s and '60s, I hope things will change for the best someday,I hope someday Nigeria will be free from its bondage and those good times return for this country., I hope this movie will prompt the whole world to come to aid for Nigeria and better days return for this country... Since I was born in the early '90s Nigerians has been suffering and smelling cos there's nothing good I repeat nothing gets better in Nigeria. This is a corrupt country, countries like Saudi Arabia, south Africa, even Dubai are no better than us in Natural resources but just take a look at us, we are no match for those countries mentioned we are way behind them.. Well, Nigeria needs help, this country needs fighters, people that can stand up and challenge these corrupt leaders.. we are fed up, we are so tired of suffering and we need those good days return for us. God bless Nigeria.........
