redroom:You have been viewing this whole thing via tribal lens. To you, everyone criticizing it are doing so because they aren't Igbo or because they hate igbos, whereas igbos are also criticizing it. Netflix has lots of shitty movies to the point that when I see a movie is owned by Netflix, I just immediately skip it because it's usually crap. You keep hammering on millions of dollars. Do you know what that is? Please, stop viewing things based on tribalism or else you will never progress. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

kolaxed98:who the fucck is this guy? Cinema is controlled by Yorubas.? You must be high out of your goddamn mind. Ben Murray Bruce started the modern cinema culture in Nigeria and since then many people from every where has dived in. Yoruba own nothing. The vast majority of what is internationally known as Nollywood today is igbo centric in nature. The most internationally recognised actors, the biggest producers. Even foreigners still believe igwe is the name for any Nigerian king. I don't like to unnecessarily claim things, but sorry, igbos created Nollywood. It has our imprint. Whatever the likes of kunle afolyan is doing today is a fruit of the igbo nollywood. He is leveraging on the markets igbos have long created with the movie industry. The authentic Nollywood is igbo. Anything else is a counterfeit. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

dingbang: Bros, the movie is crap. Overhyped piece of poo. Fantastic Cast though, Onyeka, Pete Edochie and Osoufia never disappoints at all. Like someone up there said, Peter Okoye's part was totally un-necessary. And the part where Osuofia was wandering about in someone else's house not minding his business was un-real. Those boys could have killed him for stopping their business. Me I don't know what concerns Genevieve with Directing. 4 Likes |

That is why the first film to break into a major American film house is igbo centric in nature. The igbo language was spoken with careless abandon and yet it still made impact. You just can't take away originality. When people see it, they know. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

lenghtinny: And this is based on your long experience in film making, abi? Young Nigerians! Don’t be like your forebears. Celebrate yourselves. Don’t pull each other down. As the First Nigerian movie bought by Netflix, celebrate the achievement as a Nigerian achievement. Whether Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw...etc. Leave tribalism alone. Nigeria is rich because of our diversity. I feel sad when I see young people making the same mistakes of yesterday. Do you wonder why the country is in this quagmire when we spend our strength fighting each other? In a twist of Hubert Ogunde’s quote, “Nigerians, ronu!” 13 Likes

enemmo: Onyeka out did herself. That woman is a Legend abeg. Pete Edochie too and Nkem Owoh, Genevieve 5/10. 3 actresses who would have done justice to the Adaeze character, Nse Ekpe, Toni Tones and Mercy Johnson. The Hausa/Igbo romance was what cracked me up. I won't be surprised one bit if it was Atiku who dropped money for this movie as all na calculation now since Election dey come. 2 Likes |

Vtrd: Igbo created it but for the past four years Yoruba's have been dominating, lol u own cinema? Go to Wikipedia and search for highest grossing movie of all time in Nigerian and see how Yoruba's dominate the list. I won't lie u guys contributed immensely to d industry, u see I use the word "immensely"that's how much I respect u guys,but that's where d respect end I want to ask u a question and I want u to answer me honestly Why do u think for over 20 years,suddenly Genevieve wanted to become a director. SomeoSomeone who doestntdoesn't have an inch of experience. What do u think prompted her to do so? Your guess is as good as mine. Look at comment of neutral Igbo on this thread and see their review of d movie . While I'm talking about directors who do u think control d directing in music industry in Nigeria. Hint look at the names of top music video director in d music videos,Clarence peters is Yoruba before u claim him. Look at burns boy wizkid davido nasty c and c d names there. Wizkid come closer directed by daps is yoruba d same guy directed bad and bougee by migos,u guys don't know what is happening in d entertainment industry 3 Likes |

Blackfire: My guy the thing tire person. One even said it had no content. Check well now it is coming from a person who's never created anything. People should learn to criticise constructively. If you say something is not done well, give an example of how it is suppose to be done so the person can learn. What we just see here is people creating their own expectations and judging a movie by what they expect it should be and not what it actually is. They should learn to watch movies with an open mind. It's her first movie, gradually she will take on more complicated plots. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Vtrd: And no Ben Murray Bruce didn't start jack shit .go to Wikipedia Yoruba's have been making money since d 70s and 80s it was when u guys flooded d market with cassettes it collapsed. Even d first movie to make money for siverbird galleria owned by Ben Murray Bruce was irapada a complete yoruba movie,it made 5 million naira the highest grossing movie of the time,why didn't any Igbo film make profit for him rubbish. Irapada opened Nigeria cinema up and that's we started getting international recognition. U think kunle afolayan is call Nigeria Spielberg for nothing? Shior!! 3 Likes 1 Share |

kolaxed98:Dominate what? I don't have time to read through all the nonsense you wrote. Is it in the number of recognised actors, films or what? You dominate for 2-3 years and yet you can't even produce a film worthy of Netflix or any major film company. Something that has become a norm in India. You agree that igbos created nollywood,so what is all these stories all about, you hateful being? Every major milestone in Nigeria in the movie industry was set by igbos, so what exactly are you on about? The best Yoruba effort - the wedding party, casted a number of 3rd rate foreign white actors to get some international publicity. It grossed the highest revenue in Nigeria and that was it. It set no real international mile stone. It was just a money guzzling money that made impact at home. Genevieve came in did her thing quietly, with an indigenous actors and language, and set a mile stone. Can't you see the difference between originality and fake,? Netflix can see it, why can't you? There are cinemas all over Nigeria, a number of whom are owned by igbos. stop claiming nonsense. 14 Likes 2 Shares |
