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

I knew that film will have problems the moment they used Isale Eko. These woke youths do not have sense enough to get the view of those they want to trade off their history and heritage for their own momentary gain.

The Osiberus who I know are very good people from Ijebu Ode and that BB whatever boy from Ago Iwoye did not use Ago Iwoye or Ijebu Ode but he went on to use Isale Eko in a film that misrepresents Isale Eko.smh

They will likely recieve beating if they ever step foot on Isale Eko.

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.

Good!



That movie should be banned outwardly!



You can't embarrass the real owners of Lagos and go scot-free



Every Yorubanza demonsss should go back to his state of aborigines not claiming Lagos including the ones that have denied their ancestry like Iragbaji, Ondo and the rest just because their states weren't developed by intelligent Nigerian elites


I have not heard someone saying leave Oyo or Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, and Osun for us...



Please comrades what happened to those states and why are they not paying special attention to the states like the way they are paying special attachment on Lagos


Or is it because it is been presently developed by red mud huts everywhere?

MrRemedyAlagbo:
Funniest thing is that one of the executive producers which is bankole wellington, banky w is from isale eko himself,moloney beside obalende, around tbs,people can throw their culture and heritage under bus cos of monetary and momentarily gains

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

Nigeria film makers should sell more of historic stories and not the fake American wannabe nonsense stories.

Elxandre:

Was he the producer or director?
A criminal element disguised as eyo doesn't make the movie offensive.

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

As an Igbo man, I care less if Mmanwus were used in any form for movie, even my name, my surname name or my village so far there was caveat warning that all characters, names, places, etc in the movie are just imaginary, not real, and that any coincidence are not real.
FILM na FILM.

Do these guys ever understand fictional stories atall?


Why are they fuming over rubbish?

Nobody's impression about Eyo will ever change because of a movie. This is a chase after the wind.
