Nollywood is good at promoting crap with much hype


Na the hype sell that movie

I have seen better storyline and scriptwriting in YouTube productions, but those ones do not have a big platform and are constantly overlooked

If Netflix is truly interested in investing in Nollywood, I would suggest they partner with YouTube creators. Web series like Little Black Book, This is It and The Men's Club are brilliant, they deserve a large audience too.

Enough of sacrificing quality for mediocrity. The Nollywood representation on Netflix is so disappointing, and I take it this personal because I love Nollywood so much.

In the spirit of New Year Celebrations, Netflix was thoughtful enough to kick off 2022 with a second part to the highly grossing movie, Chief Daddy 2.

This movie is basically a continuation of Chief Daddy, a movie about a rather large family dealing with their internal conflicts at the death of the family's Patriarch, a man fondly called 'Chief Daddy'

Now, at the end of Part 1, there is an introduction of a new character. This character, who, we learn is named Laila at the beginning of Part 2, is played by Rahama Sadau.

Contrary to our collective expectations though, the inclusion of this new character, does not add any sort of depth to the storyline in the part 2.

Now, if you recall, the first part of Chief Daddy, comes to an end with the declaration that contrary to the expectations of the rather greedy members of the Beecroft family, they will not receive their shares of Chief Daddy's property just because they made nice with each other. In fact, there doesn't seem to be shares to be redeemed, something about an IPO and a Company takeover, I won't bore you with the technicalities.

Anyway, the second part begins with Laila, another estranged child of the dedicated philanderer, Chief Daddy, informing the rest of his family, that she will be taking charge of the company, as the rest of them are simply not competent enough.

Where did Laila appear from? We don't know. How did we get to this scene? We're still not sure....however, we at least know, that Laila's mother is named Maryamu, and she does not hold the status of 'legally married wife to the Chief'. That is all the information we need.

Laila is presented to us as something of the antagonist in this movie, so, ideally, the storyline should focus on her constantly sabotaging the rest of the family and the rest of them trying to overcome her as a team, right?

Wrong. See, for the 1h 35minutes duration of the movie, we only see Laila tap into her antagonist nature a couple of times, and the moments are so fleeting, so sudden even, it neither brings with it any shock or suspense value. It's just a scene.

As we are introduced to Laila, we are also introduced to a character we assume is her right-hand man at first, Prince Sonny (Uzor Arukwe). I am happy to let you all know that we do not see him betray her trust, we do not see him take advantage of his relationship with sisters Tinu and Teni, who are smitten by him, to supply her any shady information about the Beecroft family. In fact, he might have as well not been introduced alongside her, because there is barely any interaction between them after the first scene.

But far be it that Prince Sonny is the most unnecessary character in this movie, because we are still being haunted by Joro (Nedu Wazobia) and Chuchu (Chigurl), the clueless Event Planners from Chief Daddy 1.

I can go on all day, but let me state my main issues with this movie, beyond what has been mentioned already:


1. One of my main grouse with the Part 1 of Chief Daddy was a lack of story development, especially as regards the romance of Dammy and Adaora, the Part 2 only got worse on that front. Very poor story development. I compared it to a work done by 10 different writers, none of whom consulted each other. They just brought together their individual pieces and made a movie that simply didn't flow.

2. I would like to thank Dubai and the UAE for always coming through for Nollywood whenever they want to give us a little razzle dazzle so we barely notice a poor plotline, but it simply did not work this time. Dubai was unnecessary, but let us excuse it, based on possible MoUs signed. It was, however, not the only unnecessary part in this movie.


3. This one is special, because it is the second time EbonyLife has done this thing and we must call it out. WHY MUST YOU CARRY OVER A DISPENSABLE CHARACTER FROM PART 1 TO PART 2 OF A MOVIE?
Recall that in The Wedding Party 2, we had to deal with Saka's character once again at the airport, trying to board a flight he did not book, for a wedding he was not invited to, as if trying to stir up memories of when he crashed the wedding in Part 1. We also had to witness the MC from Wedding Party 1, played by AY, engage in a tussle for MC Supremacy in The Wedding Party 2, even though the second wedding was all the way in Dubai.
Now, in Chief Daddy 2, Joro and Chuchu, both of who planned the memorial party in Chief Daddy 1, have returned as Planners for the wedding of a supposedly rich and affluent superstar footballer, Dammy Baggio (Mawuli Gavor). Why? How? If he is as wealthy as his character is portrayed to be, how realistic is it, that he would put his wedding planning in the hands of these Bend-down-select event planners?
Were they necessary? No. Did they need to be carried over? No. Did they add to story development? No. Did they add to comic value? Not at all. Yet, here we are.

On a positive note, the setting was nice, from Lagos to London and Dubai, lighting was great, sound was awesome, music score was decent. There was heavy usage of Falz The Bahd Guy's tracks; they may have killed two birds with a stone by using a lead actor's music, possibly to sort some copyright issues. Very smart move in production. The general acting was decent. The script was as underwhelming as the plotline. No quotable quotes, no witty words. It gave nothing.


To be honest, if you haven't watched Part 1, good for you. Don't bother. If you have, and you wish to watch Part 2 either for curiosity or to fulfill all righteousness, make sure you use Free wifi, or someone else's data. It will hurt less.

Overall Rating: 4.5/10.

Please, if you've seen the movie. What are your thoughts and ratings?
Nice write up. The issues you noted are not even up to half to what is wrong with this movie, from very poor writing to lack of character development. Your ratings of the movie were really generous, for such an ensemble cast the script should have been better.

Honestly, and they could have done so much with that character. A decent writer could have explored the character, but 4 people wrote that messy script and none of them did anything respectable with the character.

The first part was bad already, but massive publicity gave it success, despite how bad it was. They could have used this second part to redeem themselves and show us there was actually some thought behind it, but they just made it even worse.

That is my biggest disappointment here; that they could have salvaged a bad thing and done something good with a sequel, but once again, they sacrificed a good storyline for aesthetics. Threw even more stars in an already star-studded cast, and had no idea how to use them.

Just glad RMD did not make it for this second part, make dem no stain him white pass how dem stain am for part 1.

Nigerians are always carried away with fancy rubbish, no dept or content just hype and meaningless fancy setups. That’s the new hype for the industry seriously lacking creativity.

Haven't sat to fully watch a Nigerian Movie in almost a decade, saw this star-studded movie on netflix and decided to give it a try - absolutely disappointed in Mo Abudu; Couldn't spend 10mins on the rubbish. Patience Ozokwo, Nkem Owoh, Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Falz, Dakore Akande, Funke Akindele, Broad Shaggy etc. just came together to tarnish their classic acting careers. How do you even bring so many A-list actors into same movie? running around doing nothing, making a spectacle and grande charade of themselves. I'm so disappointed.
This is below mediocrity, its a sham with 1/10 rating.
Please how can one delete a movie in Netflix?

Omo, I can write over 5,000 words if I want to break down what was wrong with that movie. I even had to delete some things I had written, so, it is not too lengthy

From Dammy Baggio's forced affair with the RnB star, to the supposed injury he picked up at a supposed football charity game, the entire trip to Dubai, to Broda Shaggi chasing after his Dubai babe and begging her, and that scene where Falz was going from office to office to market himself AT HIS FATHER'S COMPANY...

Where do I even begin?

Every single thing about that movie was wrong.

They were only trying to show off. It's peculiar with Mo Abudu's movies. A friend succeeded in making me watch wedding party part 1...just wasted almost 2 hours of my life. Well, I haven't seen any other nollywood movies, no matter the hype, I ain't falling.
Even some Hollywood movies, are becoming crap these days. I'm back to watching movies made in the 1960's,70's.

Please, if you must watch a Nigerian movie on Netflix, go for King Of Boys 2. It is possibly the best Nigerian production there currently.

You can also see Kunle Afolayan's Citation, it has depth to it, the topic may be a bit heavy for some, but storyline and production is good

The CEO by Kunle Afolayan, is also a great watch. It's a thriller, great storyline, brilliant acting

If you want something more casual, a feelgood movie specifically, Fine Wine is your best bet.

The Visit is another brilliant Nollywood movie on Netflix. The scriptwriting and dialogue is impeccable, they also got 4 highly qualified actors that killed their roles. Highly recommended.

If you want something low budget and closer to an old Nollywood feel, but decent still, try Black Rose.

If it is aesthetics, but with a more decent storyline, albeit not exceptional, RattleSnake: The Ahanna's Story is also a decent watch, has a few hitches here and there, but mostly decent.

If you see Mo Abudu's name in anything on Netflix, jump and pass.

We really need to start collating decent Nollywood movies for the occasional viewers. I might do a topic on that sometime this week.

It seemed pointless to me, it seemed like they were excited that part one was great so they wanted to continue like how they did with King of Boys

But all the same, I was happy with the end.

1. One of my main grouse with the Part 1 of Chief Daddy was a lack of story development, especially as regards the romance of Dammy and Adaora, the Part 2 only got worse on that front. Very poor story development. I compared it to a work done by 10 different writers, none of whom consulted each other. They just brought together their individual pieces and made a movie that simply didn't flow.

2. I would like to thank Dubai and the UAE for always coming through for Nollywood whenever they want to give us a little razzle dazzle so we barely notice a poor plotline, but it simply did not work this time. Dubai was unnecessary, but let us excuse it, based on possible MoUs signed. It was, however, not the only unnecessary part in this movie.


3. This one is special, because it is the second time EbonyLife has done this thing and we must call it out. WHY MUST YOU CARRY OVER A DISPENSABLE CHARACTER FROM PART 1 TO PART 2 OF A MOVIE?
Recall that in The Wedding Party 2, we had to deal with Saka's character once again at the airport, trying to board a flight he did not book, for a wedding he was not invited to, as if trying to stir up memories of when he crashed the wedding in Part 1. We also had to witness the MC from Wedding Party 1, played by AY, engage in a tussle for MC Supremacy in The Wedding Party 2, even though the second wedding was all the way in Dubai.
Now, in Chief Daddy 2, Joro and Chuchu, both of who planned the memorial party in Chief Daddy 1, have returned as Planners for the wedding of a supposedly rich and affluent superstar footballer, Dammy Baggio (Mawuli Gavor). Why? How? If he is as wealthy as his character is portrayed to be, how realistic is it, that he would put his wedding planning in the hands of these Bend-down-select event planners?
Were they necessary? No. Did they need to be carried over? No. Did they add to story development? No. Did they add to comic value? Not at all. Yet, here we are.

On a positive note, the setting was nice, from Lagos to London and Dubai, lighting was great, sound was awesome, music score was decent. There was heavy usage of Falz The Bahd Guy's tracks; they may have killed two birds with a stone by using a lead actor's music, possibly to sort some copyright issues. Very smart move in production. The general acting was decent. The script was as underwhelming as the plotline. No quotable quotes, no witty words. It gave nothing.


To be honest, if you haven't watched Part 1, good for you. Don't bother. If you have, and you wish to watch Part 2 either for curiosity or to fulfill all righteousness, make sure you use Free wifi, or someone else's data. It will hurt less.

Overall Rating: 4.5/10.

Please, if you've seen the movie. What are your thoughts and ratings?

Please tell us the name of the movie you produced , let us watch .... This movie was recently released and you taught it wise to give such a negative critism to the movie.. At least allow the movie to make small sell before dropping your opinion

The hype was too much here.
Decided to try it thinking nollywood have arrived.

So useless a movie.
Couldn't even go half way.

I saw another one Christmas in texas.

Wonder why we feel so inferior to show our culture and not copy copy.
Must we go to texas or dubai to make a nice movie.
Don't tell me about the fake accent, wigs and pancakes.

The scenes no add up at all. From one nonsense scene to another.
