The only movie I had watched this far that took me somewhere else was breath of life but Fumilayo ransome kuti took me far,it was like I was in it,living it..The love,sacrifice,support etc O.M.G..

The storyline was topnotch,the tempo and sequence was superb,never a dull moment,always keeping us at the edge of my seats especially the part when the oro masquerade came out,I never expected the turn of events,it wasis a sight to beholdShow more

Kudos to the producer,cast and crew,growing up,I never knew any other story aside the one whenis Fumilayo kuti was thrown out a window,lil did I know she led a cause similar toto that of the aba women riot..

This movie is just out of this world,I cant find the exact words to use rather than it’s a MASTERPIECE..

Thanks bolane austen Peter,Tunde,My wonder woman,my crush Kehinde bankole,I thought iu had seena it all inthe adire but no she kills every role,always bringing life to each story and charactst
