An intricate examination of the struggles faced by a typical Nigerian middle-class family juggling social and financial obstacles can be found in A Tribe Called Judah. Through deft use of humor, emotion, and suspense, the story creates an engrossing family drama. The overall harmony of the plot, soundtrack, and cinematography—which perfectly captures each moment of the scene—raises the film to a distinguished status and makes a lasting impression on the Nollywood film industry, even though a little more brevity in some scenes could have increased viewer engagement. Funke Akindele and the other participants deserve acclaim.
Nigerian film has undergone a radical metamorphosis in recent years, especially in the Nollywood subgenre, as directors have endeavored to create compelling stories while defying clichés. One such movie that has gained popularity is "A Tribe Called Judah," and now that I have seen it myself, I feel compelled to share my thoughts about it. First and foremost, let me politely but firmly ask anyone who dares to consider this movie to be average or overrated to think twice. "Hush" may sound harsh, but many people who have genuinely experienced the richness and mastery of this cinematic masterpiece agree. I acknowledge that, as a self-confessed enthusiast of Nigerian cinema, I have somewhat discriminating tastes, which I partly attribute to my English and literature degrees.
But even by my high standards, "A Tribe Called Judah" exceeded expectations. Particularly, Funke Akindele's performance merits praise. Her performance was exceptional, giving her character vitality and genuineness in each scene.Having said that, there were a few small issues even though the ensemble cast gave excellent performances. The over-the-top depiction of some characters—most notably, the boss of C&K Furniture—bordered on caricature and took away from the immersion as a whole. However, these were rare occurrences that were overshadowed by the exceptional acting talent on show. The film's narrative intricacies further contributed to its appeal. A poignant reflection of the human condition, "A Tribe Called Judah" explored the underlying themes of sacrifice and moral ambiguity, as well as the subtle dynamics of family relationships. In particular, Emeka's tragic death served as a poignant reminder of life's complexities, where decisions are not always easy to make and sacrifices frequently have high costs.
A Tribe called Judah is a Nigerian film from 2023 that was co-directed and produced by Funke Akindele and Adeoluwa Owu. The film narrates the tale of Jedidah Judah (Funke Akindele), a single mother of five sons from five distinct tribes and fathers. The first two sons are responsible, hardworking, and make an effort to help their mother. The final three, however, are less useful: Pere (Timini Egbuson), a persistent pickpocket; Shina (Tobi Makinde), a local tout and hoodlum; and Ejiro (Olumide Oworu), a mischievous guy who is only interested in his girlfriend Testimony (Genoveva Umeh). Jedidah continues to help them and keep them out of trouble in spite of their misbehavior. Jedidah's condition deteriorates when she is diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease, requiring ₦18 million to cover the cost of her surgery and ₦400,000 per week for dialysis. After Emeka, the first son, loses his job, the five sons decide that the only way to get the money to save their mother's life is to rob Emeka's former boss, who is suspected of being a money launderer. Their plans, however, drastically change when they come across armed robbers at the scene. On December 15, 2023, the film debuted in theaters around the country and became the first Nollywood production to gross one billion naira at the box office.
The first is that it is demonstrated that Arukwe, the proprietor of C&K Furnishings, is a money launderer. We are not sure how he makes these funds; it might come from sales of illegal or counterfeit goods, politicians, drug and people traffickers, or something else entirely. But do these funds have to be in US dollars? Especially since the dollar is not the most common currency in Nigeria. The fact that dollar bills are not accepted as legal tender in Nigeria may account for the fact that a sizable portion of the population has never seen one. We are merely unaware of the movie's plot; all we know is that the boy counts cash in a warehouse and brings it to his showroom. Since he is a major character, I just think
we should be aware of it.
And lastly, the acid splash scene involving Arukwe's team was also unbelievable. How can gunmen let themselves be cornered so easily? Then, how could acid that is so easily capable of melting human skin be transported within an exposed rubber basin? It would have been better for me and possibly a few others if there had been a gunfight where Arukwe's team would have been cornered, eventually overpowered, but with casualties on both sides.
