OMO GHETTO: THE SAGA
1.The story line was impeccable, Funke Akindele really did pull "a rabbit out of the hat", the plot of the movie was great, delivering an electrifying tragicomedy with such excellence is really commendable.
2.The cast was great, everyone did amazingly well. Every cast pulled off their roles with much gusto!
3.The cinematography was very on point, great HD/4K filming I must say.
4. This movie also does a good job in portraying the " modus operandi" of internet fraudsters popularly known as "Yahoo boys", through this, many can be educated not to fall into such scams.
5. Also, it was good to see both the Yoruba actors and their Igbo counterparts in such a blockbuster. Gives room to harmony in Nollywood across tribes.
1.To be frank, there really isn't much negatives in this movie. However, the only thing that's felt might just be the time duration of the movie, it's quite long (2h 25m). However the fact the movie brings intrigue may overshadow the time duration. But the movie was quite long.
An epic tearjerker. If you haven't seen this movie, you should go see it. You'll definitely be left intrigued.

You should see the movie.
A Sceneone production directed by JJC Skills & Funke Akindele. The movie had its theatrical release on December 25th, 2020 and was opened to extremely positive reviews even from critics. The truth is this is a movie that’s very hard to draw negatives out from, the production really lived up to contemporary standard.
The plot of this movie was awesome, the fact that the movie had a lot of intrigue in almost every scene makes it delightful to the eyes and mind. The movie really did have a sophisticated story line as at some point it was difficult to predict what was going to happen next. The continuity was also great as every scene connected in sequence.
The movie also had great screenplay and cinematography, the fight scenes really did look prolific, it’s impressive that most Nigerian filmmakers are really going top notch. Great HD/4K filming
The cast was also great, as a matter of fact, the cast is one of the best if not the best to have come out of Nollywood in a long while, not just the calibre of the cast, but the delivery as well. A movie with Funke Akindele(Ayomide & Lefty), Tina Mba(Mrs Benson), Adebayo Salami(Baba onibaba), Chioma Akpotha(Chummy Choko),Bimbo Thomas(Nikky), Eniola Badmus(Busty), Zubby Michael(Aza Man) , Deyemi Okanlawon(Stone), etc and with star acts as comedian Ayo Makun, singer Yemi Alade, Broda Shaggi, Toke Makinwa and Naira Marley who had a cameo appearance just tells you of the intent of the producers.The movie really did make a hit and statement!
Star performer: Funke Akindele
Who else but Funke Akindele, Funke Akindele did a great job as she pulled a maestro delivering two contrasting personalities, acting as a most reserved character “Ayomide” and a hooliganistic character “Lefty” with such excellence is really really commendable. Also her switch of accents, personality and body language was amazing! Though take nothing away from the other casts they all did impeccable as well, but Funke Akindele sits on this!
Can do better performer: None. All did so well
