    A Tale of Friendship, Respect and Hard Work

    I was absolutely delighted and enchanted by the simple, peaceful, uneventful and beautiful everyday life of these characters. Sure, nothing big happens, and isn't life that way for a regular citizen in any part of the world? Nonetheless, our boy did learn quite a few life lessons- *SPOILERS* by the end of day he was respecting the elders and committed to studying and working on his free days in the workshop.

    Whenever we think of Africa, it is rare to think about stories that do not involve wars, poverty and tragedies; not to say that it doesn't happen, but Africa is much more than that: a continent with 54 countries inhabited by people filled with life and emotions, people who have everyday jobs, enjoy barbecues, stream Netflix and somewhere in there, in some place in Nigeria, there's a bunch of mechanics talking passionately about The Premier League.

    I was blessed with the experience of watching this tale of love, friendship, camaraderie and hard work.

    Some very fine acting

    With all the fake drama dominating Nollywood, which nothing says about the life of average Nigerian, Mokalik almost feels revolutionary. Values are the thread of an only apparently simple story. Really wish this movie may set a bew trend

    Expository Movie

    This is a very good and distinct movie. Some people might not like it perhaps because they are used to the love or thriller story films or perhaps because they are not used to life with a vehicle. They movie truly shows how things really are in the life of mechanics, apprentices and customers. It also teachers parents and children a good lesson. It is a seemingly perfect expository movie.

    This is the nollywood evolution

    This is arguably my best Nigeria movie for year 2019. I cannot find any misplaced in this movie, perfectly executed, simple and so informative about our society n thought provoking on career part for our children

    Insight into Nigerian life

    This movie might be hard to watch if you have no affinity with West Africa. It gives a good insight into the Nigerian way of things. I would surely recommend it to anyone to watch. Watch it, learn from it.
