The haphazard storytelling further limits the acting performances as the actors have little to work with. While the cast make an earnest attempt to bring depth to their roles, the character development feels shallow with characters' motivations and backstories barely scratched.
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.
One remarkable attribute of Fireboy is his ability to blend sublime lyrics with the mundane (Lamba).

It appears as though one construct that continues to fascinate Yishau’s intellect is the duality of human nature, a construct he is yet to intellectually move on from, demagnetise or permanently shelve since his sophomore publication, Vaults of Secrets. This...
Whatever the reasons were, Chikwe took over at NCDC, fought for the institution to have legal legs to stand on with the enactment of the NCDC Act of 2018; digitised the operations of the center, trained staff and built capacity both human, technological and mechanical to bring an end to over-reliance on parachute researchers, donors and UN agencies and made the center a world class facility.

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!
