See it if You like energetic plays in a hip-hop flavor. Also a good exposure of Nigerian culture too
Don't see it if You are looking for something eye opening in terms of the plot
See it if Embrace/celebrate heritage, family values & self respect Some lighthearted & slapstick moments. Both lead actors are terrific!
Don't see it if young adult urban drama isn’t your preferred choice of theatre.
