A Naija Christmas // Movie Review 🎥🎥

‎One look at the title of this movie and your first guess would most likely to be that it is all about a Christmas movie, but it is more than that . A Naija Christmas is a Nigerian movie released in the year 2021. It centres around a family; a single mom and her three sons. The first son—though the oldest but the unreasonable one—is an aspiring music producer, and also kind of a playboy. The second son who is kind of weird in a nerdy kind of way, and then the last born with not really much of a background info, only that he is unpredictable and completely unsuspicious.
‎
‎It mostly circled around the love stories of this three brothers. The oldest brother, Ugo, who is a playboy but seeing himself fall madly in love with a church girl which is the last thing he would probably admit ever happening until he met Ajike. His initial purpose for establishing a relationship with her was for his own selfish gain and the only reason Ajike wanted anything to with him was because of his voluntary action to help out in the Christmas gala that was coming up for kids in the neighborhood. But his ulterior motive was unknown to Ajike.

‎Then there comes Obi. The one in love with a colleague of his who has no feelings for him at all but deceives him into thinking so all for the purpose of using him to achieve a promotion at their place of work because Obi is considered to be among the smartest in the firm. Obi is so in love with this colleague of his that he even fails to notice the one person that cares about him and always willing to stand by him. Though they were close friends but she wanted more than that between her and Obi.
‎
‎And then there's Chike, the one with the most complicated love story. Apparently, Chike went for someone way older than him. And not only is she older than him, she is also a married woman. Yeah, a married woman. The lady just want their relationship to be based on friends with benefits but Chike it's not cool with that but desires more. Among the three brothers, it was unfortunate that his story was the only one that did not have a "...they lived together happily ever after". Well, I kinda saw it coming from the beginning because such relationship mostly people involved in such relationships hardly have a future together.
‎
‎I loved the drama portrayed in the movie. Not to mention the comedy which landed perfectly well at the appropriate times. It's the kind of movie a family can come together and watch and would be guaranteed of having a good time. In the movie we see misunderstandings between the characters, sacrifices made out of love, people losing their way but later finding it back with other amazing features.
‎
‎It had a typical Nigerian setting with a blend of Igbo and Yoruba culture. I was impressed with this movie and I find it what recommending to those who are yet to watch it. I give it a rating of 7.5 out of 10.
