    Astounding

    This is a really great movie with excellent acting and beautiful directing. The use of the igbo language for most part of really refreshing, I could feel the emotion of all the characters in the movie. It makes for a beautiful cinematic experience, the photography was top notch. It's a really beautiful piece of storytelling of a system that has made a tribe spread wealth from generation to generation making them prolific in business. It is an interesting watch and I must really say kudos to the director for keeping the actors honest to their trade and bringing out the best in them. I'm proudly Nigerian and this has made me more proud of my country.

    Just EXCELLENT!

    Completely loved this movie. I loved the intricate way aspects of Igbo culture was portrayed. I really enjoyed the fact that they didn't just focus on a basic storyline but educated the viewer on Igbo culture. We need more movies like this.

    How amazing to see a system that has been in place for centuries. I learned a lot. What an amazing system. Other African countries can learn from such a system which builds each other up rather than tear each other down.

    Please let's see more movies like this. It's important for the young generation especially those abroad who are far removed from their culture.

    A True Igbo Culture

    I am a Nigerian and I don't literally like watching Nigerian movies but of late I have been since good movies coming out from the Nigerian movie industry and this is one of them. I like this because more because it's about the Igbo culture and I am an Igbo.

    Most people would start this movie and feel it's about ritualistic movie but nah, it was far from that, this movie teaches us good moral in all we do. It is possible to be wealthy by being hardworking and diligent.

    Afamefuna strong man. A very educative movie. I also liked how the storyline was missed up even though there wasn't any twist. It was just a straightforward movie. Hearing Segun Arinze speaking Igbo so fluently got me as shocked as Afam was lol.
