Osuofia in London is comic movie. It was the talk of my town back then and every parent and their kid wanted to see the movie. Did you watch this movie?
Osuofia in London tells a story of a village drunk who lived in the eastern part of Nigeria. Osuofia got news which is eventually to change his life for ever. The news about his brother's death in London. Are you surprised? Well his brother before he died made Osuofia the beneficiary of all his wealth. Now Osuofia would travel to London to fight for what is his.
Now imagine a village man entering a big city for the first time? Osuofia in London left us the viewers with every scene captivating, funny and interesting. It portrayed the igbo tradition and left us with a happy ending which makes it my kind of movie.
| My Personal Rating of the movie |
|---|
Back in 2003 when this movie was released, it was in CD form, and Nollywood at that time was still improving on their quality of movie, so I will not judge the video quality of this movie so badly. I think back then it was the best they could offer.
In terms of actors falling into character, I give it to Mr Nkem Owoh acting as Osuofia. He is great comic actor, there is no dull moment with him. The costume used was good too. Therefore, my rating would be 9/10
Living in Bondage |

- Date released : 1992
- Time Duration of movie : 2 hours 43 minutes
- Director : Chris Obi Rapu
- Producer : Kenneth Nnebue
- Language : Igbo
- Movie Cast : Kenneth Okonkwo as Andy, Kanayo O Kanayo as chief Omego, Francis Agu as Achie million, Bob Manuel Udokwu as mike, Grace Ayozie as Andy's mother, Sydney Diala as initiator, Nnenna kwabueze as Merit, Daniel Oluigbo as chief priest, Rita Nzelu as Tina, Ngozi Nwosu as Ego , Chizoba Boss as Aunty , Ngozi Nwaneto as Caro.
Who remembers living in Bondage of 1992? Living in Bondage is a very interesting movie that got the attention of so many people in Nigeria me inclusive. The movie was done in Igbo language yet it didn't stop non Igbo's from watching.
Living in Bondage tries to relate it's audience with the present situation in our country, I mean poverty and hardship. Telling a story of what pressure, poverty and lack can do to a man, showing us the extent that man can go just to acquire wealth and come out from poverty even if it means killing his lives ones. But is that good?
Living in Bondage has alot of lessons to teach. The movie keeps you glued to it no wonder just last year I saw a rebranded version of living in Bondage but this one was about the freedom of the main actor. Maybe some other day I would talk about it.
Living in Bondage of 1992 was really interesting. In CD format it was produced. Amazing actors featured in this movie making it one of the best back then. Am sure you would like to go search for this movie and see for your self what am talking about. My rating for this movie is 8/10.
Karishika |

- Time Duration of movie : 56 minutes
- Movie writer: Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi , Felix Oboro

Back then when I first saw the movie, it was really scary to me. The movie generally shows us what happens in the spiritual realm and it's effect in the physical realm.
Karishika was a movie dreaded by we the kids. Then the was this background scary song in the movie that was really scary. Karishika tells a story of the dark world concluding that more souls are needed to populate their kingdom. To achieve this, a mesanger named Karishika was sent to earth to get the souls. The mesanger disguises as a beautiful young lady to get the mission done. Scary right?
Hmm what shall I rate this movie? The movie has lessons to learn from it, even though there parts that I didn't agree with. It's really an old movie and it's standard was what was best back then but as at today the quality of this movie can not match what we have today. This simply shows that Nollywood is really doing well. My rating for this movie will be 7/10

Osuofia in London was very interesting. It was all comic from the beginning till the end. Where I enjoyed most was where he had to bring back the white lady to Nigeria to start doing some tedious work.
Karashika is another interesting but scary movie. We usually cover our faces when they are about to show some scary parts. I have a cousin who will never uncover her face until the movie is over.
Living in boundage, I really cannot remember it as others because I watched it just once and it's been a long time.
I appreciate your efforts, thank you for the highlights, it just refreshed my memory.
Hahaha that you cousin is just like me. I don't like scary movies but I had to force myself to watch it and I thank God I did, if not I won't be here giving you the gist.
There is a new living in Bondage released last year, you can go and watch it to catch up with this one.
Am glad you enjoyed movie highlight this week. Don't miss next week edition.
