Movie Review :Oloibiri

Hmm...Let me take a deep breath before I start to type because  of the quality  of this movie.

Oloibiri is a movie that address neglect of the community where Black Gold was first discovered in Nigeria and gives us an idea how much neglect the oil producing community has suffered .It also reveals the greed by some of the elders of the community,the rise of militancy and their different goals.


Boma aka Gun Powder(Richard Mofe Damijo)  a Geology graduate decides to fight for the people of Oloibiri as he is not pleased with the exploitation and suffering of the community,he wastes no time to punish and if need be kill traitors and all efforts by his mother Ibiere(Taiwo Ajayi Lycett ) to make him stop proved abortive.In that same community lies Elder Timipre (Olu Jacobs)who had suffered a loss from the oil exploitation but according to Gunpowder he was a coward that didn't stand up to the menace and it affected his health as he had to be receiving regular treatment from Chisom (Ivie Okunjaiye) who also caught the eye of Timpire's son Boname (Ifeanyi Williams) as a love interest .
The Chairman of Foreshaw Oil  Mr Powell (William R Moses)decides to visit Nigeria  and the host community in a bid to be a different company from other companies that do their exploration in the land,he is faced with the death and the sufferings of the people.

Oloibiri is that movie that got everything right!I am not a fan of action movies and i get scared when it's coming from Nollywood but they did fantastic with it!Acting,Effects,Visuals etc. ( plenty gbosas)Even the soundtrack puts you in that mood and it fitted in very well.Gunpowder killed his role (Bros RMD nailing Roles since 19gbogboro) the other veterans did very well to,same for the other cast.

It was also refreshing to see Lord Frank (The Military Head) put in that role.

The movie is still showing in the cinemas and you will love it.It gives you action and at the same time speaks to your heart.

Oloibiri is directed by Curtis Graham,Screenplay by Samantha Iwowo  and produced by Rogers Ofime.

Brilliant movie it is!
