Kowa Outskirts was the first name I projected in my mind as I quickly checked Google to understand the meaning and the name but I forgot it’s a movie 1 minute 23 seconds gave me a glimpse of what to expect in a typical Hausa movie, but 2 min 57-second change everything even though that scene was not perfectly done, join me in reviewing this first of many to be reviewed and to be watched by my followers and me that love Hausa movie, 15 million Naira keep that number in your mind and lastly fear woman!!!!!, great work from write and the producer for connecting the politics of today into the movie, a lot of people might not agree to some scene basically because of their own assumptions and believe
In episode one (War: Wrath and Revenge), the adage “politics is about numbers” rings true, yet many overlook the influence of social media and news on elections. Keep an ear out for the name Nuhu Bula, but pay close attention to the storyline to grasp its nuances. At 13 minutes and 55 seconds, a humorous moment lightens the mood. While some claim that Hausa people don’t know how to spend money, a scene at 17 minutes proves otherwise. The swift transition from the crashed jet is commendable. The clash between Sanusi and Nuhu is riveting, and Khalifa’s demise levels the playing field. Women often perceive what men overlook they can foresee the future before it unfolds.
In Episode Two: Everybody Has a Price,” I liked how the actress played ASP, Amal’s role, but it was sad to see the name on Nuhu’s phone who’s to blame in most families for such situations? Amid our focus on elections, let’s not forget about the failing state of marriage nowadays many people are either pretending to be happy or forcing themselves to stay together. Binta’s actions at 6 minutes and 2 seconds didn’t surprise me; this part of the story will probably become clearer later on. “Revenge” means more than it initially seems, highlighting the important role women play in every man’s life. The strong scene at 11 minutes was memorable, and the reveal at 19 minutes and 50 seconds showed that cheating can happen even when you’re close to someone. Politics is always a messy game, so it’s important to stay alert. 33 min was fear and respect women!!!!!!
Episode Three hits hard! “Óbírin!!” (woman!!), excuse my Yoruba, but women are forces to reckon with. Binta’s revelation at 5 minutes and 53 seconds shook me: “If I can love the man who killed my father, imagine what else I can do.” The addition of ASP’s story about work-life balance is commendable; many women struggle with this. This Hausa movie has exceeded expectations. Dikko’s actions seem excessive, especially by the 15-minute mark. Skip to 18 minutes to see why I keep emphasizing “fear woman!” Four powerful women in different fields are showcased by the 23-minute mark. Watch Amal’s threat to Nuhu—perfectly executed, as many women do, and I can’t blame them.
Episode Four: The ASP’s reaction to seeing blood on Nuhu’s hands was convincing. Binta takes the lead, highlighting the strength of women. The interaction between Binta and Nuhu at 8 minutes is noteworthy; having a good woman is a blessing. The portrayal of the Northern side of Nigeria is captivating, depicting the influence of money, power, and politics. While I disagree with some scenes, the portrayal of Hausa Nollywood exceeded my expectations, leaving me eager for more.
Episode Five: The movie exceeded my expectations within the first 5 minutes. The mixed suspense involving Binta, Dikko’s wife, and the truth about the jet stirred my emotions. It led me to contemplate the recent death of a prominent figure in Nigeria. The storyline delves into politics, power, money, and ambitions, highlighting their effects on the people. Sometimes, ambitions become so complex that unbiased observation reveals shocking truths.
Episode Six: I will use the episode to only talk mainly about my thoughts about the series, Khalifa’s death might seem wrong but from the look of episode 6 it’s deeper than you can think, it’s not just about the election alone it’s about, powerful people that knows about the “Mine” I love how the director and write focus on that area, you would have to watch it till episode 6, to fully understand it, I love the mins on each episode, very short basic but full of suspense, watching series like this on Netflix makes me happy that I have movies I can suggest for colleagues at work to watch and understand about Nigerian cultures, power and lifestyle at the same time, so much to bring out from the scene that I don’t agree or think it’s right but the level of the script and vision behind the movie is worth everything for a Nigerian to share being in diaspora, what would you rate this movie if you want to be a critic?
