Thank God the people that produced and directed it are Yorubas, some people would have started another round of propaganda and hatred.

OK, you can't go to court.

Interesting. Generally speaking, it's a really good movie. I had my reservations though. It portrayed the Eyo in a very bad light. The Eyo are very revered in the culture of Lagos state. To show a murder carried out with the Eyo regalia on is very wrong. I don't think any the Igbos would be very welcoming if Mmanwus were portrayed as being used to assainate neither will the people from Cross River take lightly the Ekpe being used for the same.


It's a really great movie with superb acting and directing but respect needs to be paid to people's culture before you tarnish the image. People come from all over the world for the Eyo festival. Whats the point in changing their point of view? Lagos is already scary for any foreigner...no need to bastardize one of the few cultural tourist attractions we have.

Please shut your piehole...or should I say eba&vegetablehole

Cultural misappropriation is very bad, it's better to kill the mis-information before it travels wide.

The isele eko i know is exactly as dangerous as depicted by that movie,.a fiefdom of thieves and local gangs,..from jankara to iga idugaran through desumu.

Raskimonojendor:

I have to check out gangs of London.

Isale Eko was and is a crime hub as I have had my share of their illegal and forced tax, even though I'm not sure it is as violent as portrayed in the movie.

However, they shouldn't have portrayed the Eyo masquerade that way, it belittle the culture of the indegenous people.

Angelfrost:
This is what happens when you fail to adequately plan and prepare for a movie production!

These people should have been carried along!

Proper consultations should have been made prior to shooting!

africandollar:
All the movie producers need to defend themselves in the court of law is already written just before the movie’s opening scene…’ALL CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR IN THIS WORK ARE FICTITIOUS. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO REAL PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL’ Lobatan!

TemplarLandry:
Great movie based on the legendary “Godfather” movie. That Isale Eko Union shouldn't stifle creativity in our fast-improving movie industry. The only issue I have with that flick was the not-too-real guns used in the movie. Also some other minor glitches like when Adesua Etomi shot Kazeem with a Glock, after the first shot, she lowered the Glock and primed it again to fire a second shot, it doesn't work that way, once a Glock is cocked, you keep shooting till you empty the clip. Epic movie by the way just like “Gangs of London”. I'mma chek out “Gangs of New York” presently.
