Tòkunbò is written as a thriller and action movie. Ramsey Nouah’s ambitions as director are not very grand. It is a trite storyline of the regular Omo Eko, whose creed is to simply make it to see another day, but then struck by misfortune, in Tòkunbò’s case, his son’s heart disease, as he faces a dilemma from which finding a way out becomes a double-edged sword that leads to crime.
House of Ga'a is a massively successful project, entering Netflix's top 10 in multiple countries upon its release. From the setting to the storyline to the star-studded cast, it's little wonder why.

I find Mustapha Enesi’s Yesterday and Today and Tomorrow to be thoughtfully written and I feel it is one most satisfying interpretations of this anthology’s theme. He shows us a woman living with Alzheimer’s whose husband still showers her with affection despite the fact that she often doesn’t remember who he is
Holding up to its title, the book is a repository of memories, with events presented as clearly as they occurred or perhaps as a figment of one’s imagination. Chukwudera’s Loss is an Aftertaste of Memory is a time capsule that exists just for the sake of being
Hamza's writing is clear and vivid; the scenes are febrile with fear that can be cut through with a knife. Every time it seemed the sisters would be caught, I held my breath and said a tiny prayer. Hamza's book is one of those books you can't wait to finish so you can experience its end, and yet you pray it does not finish so the experience doesn't end.

A landmark event such as this global TV adaptation of Things Fall Apart definitely commands consummate critical attention, with some critics arguing in a nativist manner that a native Igbo actor ought to play the role of Okonkwo!
