Kanayo, Bob Manuel, Nick Rhys Screenplay: Tunde Babalola Director: Kunle Afolayan October 1 is one movie that was highly anticipated by myself and am sure a whole lot of people. I actually thought the movie was going to be basically about how Nigeria gained her Independence, but the writer proved me wrong. Ouch! I cannot wait to get into the review part *rubbing palms* it’s going to be a joy ride, for the car is set in motion.

These brilliant cast designs of these great long form series pull out consistent contradictory dimensions. That's what dimension is: a consistent contradiction within the nature of character. After 10 hours, you have learned more about what it is to be a human being than you have ever in your life experienced in a feature film
