Jedidah Judah’s five sons — each from a different father, each from a different Nigerian ethnicity — unite to pull a heist when her kidney fails and the system fails her first.
Akindele engineered the perfect Nigerian crowd film: pan-ethnic casting, mother-love stakes, and a genuinely tense heist. Watching it again on streaming, the emotional engineering is even more impressive.
Verdict: Modern Nollywood’s commercial blueprint. If you somehow missed it, fix that tonight.
