    not good enough

    The plot of this movie and the story build up was just terrible, the dialogue too was something else, when did external auditors turn financial advisers????

    PLOT IS ALMOST EMPTY.

    First of all, I praise Genevieve for the casting and audio-visual quality of the movie. Though I still feel like the talents of these great actors were wasted. The movie is short. The story is basic. The story is bland. There is no excitement. No climax. Some of the scenes were unrealistic. The movie is 100% predictable too. Genevieve has been in the industry for 20years. She can do better.

    Mind Blowing Piece Of Work.

    Enjoyed it. Been a while I saw a movie so well acted and delivered. The theme was beautifully touched on. Well done Genevieve Nnaji and Team. Looking forward to your next reviews

    What it means to be Nigerian

    Without spoilers: This movie is a lionhearted depiction of what it means to be a decent human being who keeps trying to do what is right, despite evolving cultures, sexes, differences of opinion and the painful history of Nigeria. Without a detailed backstory as to why there is almost a millennium-old ethnic friction among over 300 Nigerian tribes in one country, this movie did an excellent job of portraying the essence of being Nigerian, being a person (male or female) and showing how the country can evolve to live in unity despite cultural differences. It is also an ode to the bond of family, roots of any culture and using the best of both international exposure with being Nigerian to create different facets of what a success story for anyone can be. It had the pleasantly surprising comedy, a fresh take on what predecessors can do for their successors and so many sublime messages touching on love, family, culture, politics, leadership, feminine strength (no nauseating feminism I promise) that can be easy to miss.

    Well done Genevieve Nnaji: a movie for all to see. Kudos Naija, keep improving.
