It was a good film, that shows the dangers of Nigerian tribalism and how it can affect a young love. I am glad that it did not descend into stereotypes (too much), as both Yoruba and Igbo tribes were portrayed as dignified and with a lot of love for their children. The only two things I would have loved for them to do is to make the police tip have been anonymous, rather than arresting the Igbo father.
Both fathers should have had to live with the guilt of ruining their children's lives, and thus their own. No additional punishment would have been necessary. Also, they should have delved deeper into the wickedness of the Yoruba witchcraft tradition. That juju should have been shown as the direct cause of Stella's death.
I hope that Nigerian films continue to get better and develop this way. I am in the film industry in America and want to bring our culture to the world stage!
