In all honesty, I wouldn't say this was a great movie because it bored da hell out of me 70% of the time. But I do recommend it because of the beautiful message it carried and that's actually why I watched all of it. The movie revolved around politics, equality, justice and the disabled. The lead characters were Genevieve (Felicima) and the disabled guy (Agu Agidi).
Basically, Felicima is a young, confident, beautiful, powerful, no-nonsense, stylish, blah blah blah blah, and successful public relations business woman (exhales loudly, lots of adjectives hehe). She is well known to the public as a female business mogul. One day she drives by a beggar who is reading a newspaper and becomes intrigued by this unusual behaviour. She stops and introduces herself but the beggar already knows who she is since she is all over the newspapers. She talks to him for a while only to realize that this was an educated beggar who could read, write and speak fluently (he even has a class where he teaches other beggars) but his disability makes life unlivable and that's how he ended up on the streets. Y'all have to watch the movie to find out what happens.
The main theme of the movie focuses on how the world (esp. we Africans) treat the disabled and less privileged members of our communities. Genevieve in this movie represented the privileged ones with prospective future endeavors whereas the beggar represented the less and under privileged.

Pros:
The movie had a great theme and that is a good enough reason to watch it. Both Genevieve and Agu played their roles well and the message of the movie was clear and well delivered.
Cons:
The picture and sound quality were horrible (OMFG 
). As expected, they just had to have a ridiculous scene in the movie. The scene were Genevieve's house burned down was the most ludicrous thing I ever saw in a movie [wait that's a lie ... shooting someone and having them cry out "you just shot me, now am about to die" 
is actually more ludicrous hehehe (<<< this happened in a different movie lol)]. Of course I already told you I was bored out of my mind most times so please have your remotes next to you while watching this!!!

The article told the story of this young lady who became crippled at the age of 19 after an accident; but she has not let her disabilities deter her zeal to achieve her heart's desires. However, she laments the hardships faced by the disabled in Nigeria and the insensitivity of the government in making sure that infracstructures and roads have accommodations for easy navigation by the physically challenged. She hopes to get the government to finally sign the disability bill into law. Here is a link to the article for those interested: http://allafrica.com/stories/201106151405.html. Reading articles like this fuels my desire to make a difference some day. I truly admire this woman's confidence and I hope the government does something about helping out the disabled.
Please watch the movie you guys it really has a great message.
