we learnt a lotttt

The film was an invigorating experience to see young people desperate to halt corruption and make things different. We learned a lotttt!

DELICIOUS

-Elvis (Bimbo Manuel) was the guy to watch out for as he provided great insights on politics and its tactics😃

-Zinachi was a powerful illustration of today's youth who are fed up with corruption and treachery

-The young girl Muna was shooooo cute 😍 Beautiful rendition!

-The story pushed us to examine our role as citizens in corrupt societies: What are we doing to bring change? How can we stand united to bring a revolution? What are the religious leaders doing to transform the community?

BLAND

-Very sadly, every aspect of the film's production was affected: the editing, sound, cinematography, lighting, visual effects, special effects, color grading, etc.

There were numerous longggg scenes that could have been cut

-Ayoola and Rahama Sadau as well as the rest of the cast didn't seem to possess the soul of the movie. It appeared as if they just delivered the lines without believing in them

-Hair and make-up designs didn't accentuate characters well, a bit overdone at times...

Timely...

A political thriller that's been long overdue out of Africa's Giant, Nigeria. Cinematography was crystal. Star-studded, the acting was top-notch and touched on issues bedevilling Nigeria as a nation. Also, released at a time prior to the 2019 General elections in Nigeria, 'If I Am President' will be a handmaid in enlightening and educating Nigerians, Africans, even the globe on the technicalities and ideologies holding sway in Nigeria - and why the office of the President of Nigeria (PON) is for those who do not play by the rules as is obtained in other 'sovereigns'.

However, one thing that 'If I Am President' delivers is hope. What can we do if not be hopeful? Perchance, it's the reason a synonym for Nigerians is 'resilience'.

I also liked the fact that in this movie, women are brought to the forefront - a woman, played by ace actress, Joke Silva, vies for the office of PON.
