I remember back in the late 80s and early 90s when as a kid in Festac Town, Eyo Festival was done and it was a sight to behold. The festival for almost three decades have stopped at festac. I think it only holds at Lagos Island. Such a beautiful rare event.

If the film portrays Eyo Festival as bad, then the movie should be banned. That's a sacrilege to a culture people practice.

If there is a caveat telling viewers that all characters, places, names, cultures and traditions are imaginary and any coincidence are not real, then no issue. All great movies in the world are always portrays so for entertainment reasons.

Great movies in the world abound with diversity. From Historical movies to criminal movies, scientific expeditions to futuristic movies, from religious movies to sociopolitical movies, from sports to academic movies, from real life movies to fictitious movies, from security movies to Alien movies, from Earth movies to Astro terrestrial movies.

Though, what make a good movie in some perspective is the criticism that herald such films. The criticism about the movie will only make it more popular.

My opinion!!! You don’t need to like or agree. Else, hug a transformer!!!

This film just disappointed me. It is so sad. All these young woke boys and girls could have done is get a feedback for review before releasing it. If you are tellling our story via film; we have a right to see it before you show the world.

All the offensive parts must be removed and the real names used replaced.

Though, I haven't watched and don't think I'll watch the movie, if the sole aim of the movie was to portray the negative parts of Lagos, then the movie should be banned.

I don't understand how only the majority of a particular tribe and the mob are so happy about this movie.
But you pack popcorn and soda to watch white house down, angel has fallen, Olympus has fallen, designated survivor, air force one.... Should I continue?

Face your village and state politics.

Lagos has a well tested system of electing its leaders from among the Yoruba. When non-Yoruba were theatening to declare Lagos no man's land and presented a Chinedu who with his wife keep insulting Yoruba on social media, you were causing your Yoruba host to resent the non Yoruba so the Yoruba only insisted that the natives vote first before non-natives will vote. You can not have even a Cross Rivers man rule your Akwa Ibom so stop the pretension.

Your fixation on Yoruba people and their matters is not healthy for you. It doesn't even concern you or your tribe. Focus on activities from your state and tribe.

There's no comparison at all between Igbos and Yorubas at all please. Stop it.

I never believed that some Yorubas will go that far to start attacking Igbos based on propaganda and still come out to justify the attacks and are still threatening further attacks in the future, then they are only raising a phobia and a stereotype that might hang on the Yorubas for a very long time....

But attacking Igbos on election day is not a mockery of your cultural heritage?

Like I said earlier I thank God the producer and director are Yorubas, if not they would have started another round of propaganda, hate and wickedness....
Thank God none of the producers is an Igbo if not this thread would have turn to war zone................I am that Igbo Jew
