Fans laud Emem Isong’s movie

BARELY two weeks in cinemas, ‘Ayamma’ produced by Nollywood prominent Emem Isong-Misodi and directed by Chris Eneaji is receiving affirmative reviews from audiences who have watched the movie.

The movie which was released in cinemas on Friday, December 23, stars Adesua Etomi, Wale Ojo, Ime Bishop Umoh, Ekere Ekanga, Theresa Edem, Majid Michel, Moses Armstrong and so many others.

The star-studded movie which focuses on culture and history is a magical story of love, treachery, lust and revenge, all entwined in the beauty of music and dance.

However, several people have taken to social media to air their views about the movie. “Adesua is good abeg!” said Chiji Vivians. “This is not Ikor, this is Ayamma, every inch is beautiful”, said Eminence. “It takes you back to your root, more than just a film”, said James Olurinde. Suga Mona said, “Had fun watching the movie Ayamma. Y’all should go watch it too. Great acting, Ayamma is cool afterall!” Titi said, “Just saw Ayamma and I totally loved it. Music, comedy and culture if you’ve not seen it you’re missing out.”

Nollywood actress Chioma Akpotha had this to say about the movie; “I like the fact that people like Emem Isong take the pain to tell the world about our culture in a very tasteful way. Trust me on this one. You are going to enjoy it. Take time out with family and friends to go see it and I promise you won’t regret it”, said Chioma.

Media Personality, Joy Isi Bewaji had this to say also, “I like that Princess. She is fierce. She has solutions to her problems. And she isn’t anyone’s pityparty cocktail. And that commoner… with that typical naivete Nollywood likes to bestow on all its “godfearing” women… who are always so clueless even when a penis is staring them in the face, wriggling close to their mouths… They want you to believe they are about to swallow Holy Communion. You don’t fool me. I cannot stand the likes of them. Good movie though.

Ayamma tells the story of Prince Daraima (Wole Ojo), the fascinating heir to Obong Ikpaisong, who repeatedly dreams of Ihuoma (Adesua Etomi), poor but radiating maiden whose beauty is matched only by her voice. He is in love with the girl of his dreams. In the real world, Prince Daraima is set to marry Princess Ama (Tinsel star, Theresa Edem), the arrogant child to a neighbouring Monarch. Princess Ama observes her groom-to-be captivated by Iko and resolves to nip this obvious threat in the bud.
