My first Nigerian movie. . . . For the past several years, I have come across a number of reports telling about how the country of Nigeria has a successful domestic film industry. While that fact definitely intrigued me, I was unable to find any Nigerian movies available for me to look at until I stumbled upon this one on Netflix. To be honest, I was expecting something pretty crudely made, and to a large degree this is true. While there are some pretty good composed shots and/or direction that indicate that at times some real effort was being made by the filmmakers, the movie has far more shortcomings. The cinematography is unimpressive, there's very little in the way of production values, and the acting by many of the performers is amateurish. Actually, I might have been able to forgive all that had the movie's biggest problem did not exist, that being that it's far too long (121 minutes in length) and far too slowly paced. This is a story that really needed to be cut down either at the script stage or when the footage was being edited. There is a twist towards the end that's a little interesting (despite my ability to somewhat predict it before it unfolded), but it's too little and too late to make it worth sitting through a story that's too long and too slow. Still, if you have heard of Nigerian cinema and are curious about experiencing a sample of it, I've just told you of one possible accessible choice. | Shirin Najeriya na na farko. . . .

They just sewed together different jokes, memes and videos of little known comics that have gone viral on Nigerian social media, called it their own movie and brought it to cinema. If you are Big on social media, you will have seen many of them, many times before. And you are not likely to find them to be very funny here as the producers even fail to excel at plagiarism, leaving 'Social Media 101' plagued by bottom of the barrel acting, very boring dialogue and particularly horrible scene lighting. This is all round ridiculous! | Sun kawai haɗa wasanni dayawa tare, memes da bidiyon shirin ban dariya kaɗan da aka sani da sukayi suna shafukan sada zumunci na Najeriya, Ƙirashi da shirin kuma suka kawo shi sinima.
