I rarely watch Nigerian movies but a friend recommend North East to prove to me that there are good Nigerian movies out there.

North East Synopsis:

“An Igbo Chriistain Pyshiotherapist embarks on a romantic relationship with one of his clients, who is a Hausa Muslin, only to face vehement opposition on the basis of religion and ethnicity from her father who expressly forbids her from seeing him. OC Ukeje, Gbenga Titiloye, Ini Dima-Okojie, Carol King, Saeed Funky Mallam. Written, Produced and Directed by Muyiwa Aluko”

Really though, North East wasn’t a bad movie, but it wasn’t a great movie either.

What I liked:
– The storyline: I actually really liked the idea of the story and what they were trying to achieve. I think Nigeria would definitely be a better country if we could all see through the ethnic and religious divides.
– The acting: I thought this was pretty decent. My fav character was definitely Alhaji Musa Ahmed (played by Gbenga Titiloye). Gbenga is such a good actor!!! Plus, I found his character very funny and hypocritical!

What I didn’t like:
– The movie was too predictable from the beginning! Wasn’t cool at all! Ruined the entire movie for me.
– The movie was too long! Too many unnecessary scenes and the dialogue among characters wasn’t the greatest…like this story could have been told in an hour, or an hour and a half max!

Overall, I rate this movie a 5/10. It didn’t capture my attention the whole time….but I like where they were trying to go with the storyline. The execution just didn’t do it for me.

Watch North East trailer here. Movie is available on Iroko.

This movie is really good, well done. I watch Nigerian movies once in a while and so far this is my favorite. Their chemistry was perfect. No over acting, A must watch.
