I was invested in the story all the way through and I think it also had a cool ending. Worth watching Definitely
I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't find it to be too slow as one reviewer said (and I can be very impatient when it comes to books and movies). If I can find the time, I hope to make a study guide and use this film with my middle grades students who don't seem to realize the creature comforts they enjoy living in the US. It will also be good to teach them that as youngsters, they don't know everything and need to listen to their parents and other adults who have their best interests at heart.
I don't always give Nigerian movies a try, but this won my heart from the beginning. I enjoyed the manner the plot develops, the acting was genuine and serious.
The subtle sound tracks gives the film an endearing score. I know it's not 100% giving it's an African movie rocking an African budget but the directing was really fine and intentional, the editing was professional cut. Overall I advise potential viewers to give it a chance:
I really enjoyed this film. It's no surprise that all the critics gave this film very high ratings. The critics highly approved of this film.
I enjoyed it. The acting was great. The writer, director and producer all did very excellent jobs with this film. I truly enjoyed watching Nigerian Prince about a Nigerian American teenager going back home and the excitement, challenges and adventure.
Pius was an excellent actor and I loved his character and swagger.
Okoro did it real big and real well with this film. I look forward to more films from him.
The film had great critic reviews but some regular users were I believe a bit unfair with their reviews. Well the critics don't lie!

The synopsis is that of an American-Nigerian teenager sent by his mother to Nigeria INDEFINITELY to teach him a lesson after he got into a school fight, under the pretense of his need to learn about his roots. The Nigerian cousin, a scammer himself, says to the teen that everyone in Nigeria only cares about money, and as any parent knows, the company young people keep are a huge influence. So why would a mother send her child from the US to Nigeria, in his formative years???
Moreover, if the mother cares so deeply about her Nigerian roots, how come she has no idea how old her nephew is, or what he does? She wants her sister to look after her son, without knowing how her sister took care of her own son.
The mindless plot goes on and on, but there is value in seeing some of the scams. Sadly, these scammers are shown to con not only the greedy, as the cousin says, but also their own working people, like the scam of selling rice at half price as an incentive first, then charging for the promise of getting rice at half price.
If you suspend disbelief, the rest is not so bad: acting is decent, and there's a morale.
