Most Nigerians are accustomed to watching
Nollywood Movies without getting moral lessons from them but then, this New
Movie Produced by Omoni Oboli has got loads of lessons for the viewers to benefit
from. Here are major ones :
1 1. Nigerians Believe in Nollywood Movies
When the New Nollywood movie “Wives on Strike”
premiered on Friday 8th April 2016,Nollywood Gbagaun Your No 1
Nollywood blog sent people around to evaluate the turnout and it was quite
impressive to know that the influx of people was large especially at Ozone
Cinemas ,Yaba. This is not because Unilag was closed that day so students
wanted a place to escape but because Nigerians came out in their numbers to support a movie industry that is growing
rapidly.
2. 2. Women are not mere housewives
Omoni Oboli’s “Wives on strike” powerfully
illustrates the Power of the women folk
and the role they play in the society. They are not expected to sit back , wait
to be spoon-fed by men , let the men run the show but contribute to the
development of the society. Vera isong
(Chioma Akphota) was willing to go any limits to support the cause of the women
despite how detrimental it could be to her husband’s Political career.
3. Politicians also know the right things to do
“If the right thing is the order of the day,
then the world would be a better place to stay” was part of the lyrics for a
song titled “do the right thing” sang by Bez and Cobhams Asuquo. To paraphrase
, we could say, if our Nigerians politicians start doing the right things; then
Nigeria would become a better country. There were opportunities in the movie to
troll Nigerian Politicians, but yet the Final resolution of the major problem
in Omoni Oboli’s movie “Wives on Strike” clearly interpretes that our Nigerian
leaders know the right steps to take.
4. 4. Julius Agwu is a Natural Comedian
Comedy is not just a talent ,it is an art.
Watching Julius Agwu in his “Callistus” role in the movie was an emboidment of
intelligent humour and not script neither rehearsal. Really, Omoni Oboli got
almost everything right with the cast of this Comedy Movie but then Julius Agwu ‘s role
illuminated the movie. It not shows clearly how versatile he is from Stand-up
comedy to Singing and to Acting. We really want to see him act more movies of
this genre.
5. Husband and Wife can produce a Movie
This is definetely an evidence of love and
bond. It is really a landmark that Nnamdi Oboli and his bae collabarate to
produce a movie which will clearly set a pace for other movies of its kind.
Nnamdi Oboli recently released an educational marital book called “Marriage:
For Better For Worse Us” in celebration of their 15th Wedding Anniversary.
6. Emem Isong appeared on scene
It was awesome to see Emem isong on a scene even if its just
one. The Royal Arts Academy C.e.o has clearly set a landmark in her movie
production on Nigeria and her academy has gone to produce industry greats.
