    Eleshin Oba
    The first Nobel prize winner in Nigeria in literature , wole Soyinka have lots of master piece that deserved to be on screen. This is one of those classical depicted yoruba historic export to the world. Talking about the movie now odunlade did a good job which I beg to say there is room for improvement in is work and also the the movie as a whole biyi did an amazing work also which I think as room for improvement also, I think some people are having the mistake of comparing this work with kunle afolayan work which I think is nice and a good competition for the Nigerian movie industry. I definitely will recommend this.
