One Lagos Night

Movie review

Hello, you're welcome to everything fabulous with Mo, I bring you greetings from my loveseat in Lagos.

I'm sitting on my loveseat, somewhere in Lagos, wondering “What did I just watch?” okay my actual thought included swear words, but that's not even the point. I just watched this really funny movie and I'm enthusiastic about it. Honestly, the writers must have been on crack because Whaaat?

Imagine going to rob with a local gun and you meet other robbers with an AK-47?

The movie starts where the main guy Ehiz came out of a swimming pool and was caught by a thief. Ask me what the story is about?

These guys, roommates in a ghetto part of Lagos. The main guy Ehiz is unemployed while his friend Tayo is underemployed.

Tayo is a prophet on the weekends and a security guard on weekdays. Ehiz owes someone 20k and they are both hungry.

We are told their specs in women. Tayo likes his women thick, while Ehiz likes them petite. And that's how we're introduced to Ehiz’ girlfriend Ada who was about to break up with him. She received a call where she referred to Ehiz and Tayo as her cousins. She breaks up with Tayo, telling him that she's getting married and even gives him money to manage.

Omo. Stand up, hold your head and say to yourself “I will not be poor in Jesus name.”

This goes on his day normally, searching for a job, there's no job, employers keep saying they will get back to him. Then he gets home to realize that they've been given a quit notice. He complains about how terrible the day has been, then he gives God 7 days to change his situation or else he will go to the devil. Tayo jokingly asks if he has the devils address and if he did why had he not spoken at least he would have used him as a sacrifice so one of them will make it.

At this point, I had to pause and laugh because this movie is running on crack.

So, Tayo mentions a woman who just moved into an estate where he works as a security guard, and the woman launders money for politicians. He also mentioned that if anyone steals the money, they will die rich.

So, the devil starts to call Ehiz. First, a guy robs in their neighbourhood and is caught. Ehiz sees the robber’s gun and decides to keep it. He shows it to Tayo. They were almost caught by Tayo’s cousin who is a police officer.

The person who Ehiz owes money comes for his money. Ehiz hides close to one girl's yam stall, she washes tam and pours the water on Ehiz, mistakenly. Annoyed, he decides that they steal the money because he's tired of suffering just because he owes 20k.

He who swallows a complete coconut has absolute trust in his anus.

Michael Scoffeild 1999 Panama prison.

There were so many of these quotes, everyone equally funny in the situation applied.

The boys go to steal the money and unfortunately, there's someone in the house, yeah the owner of the house is home. Then these new guys come in and it's obvious they came to steal the money. They drag the house owner to her room for jewellery. Ehiz shoots one of the guys and the movie goes on. You have to watch it to find out the rest. It's available on Netflix. I can’t be the only one who watched that.
