Shanty Town (2023– )
10/10
A GREAT START FOR 2023
24 January 2023
Totally recommend it.

A fantastic way to begin the year. Both the acting and the cinematography were superb.

It was pleasant to hear the Ibibio language used heavily. Welldone Ini and Nse!

An exciting drama series that examines the lives of sex workers, gangsters and dishonest politicians in Lagos.

Shanty Town is a powerful example of how Nollywood have developed. The cast provided acting performances that were genuinely competent and had an energizing impact on the viewers.

Where do I even begin?

Mercy Eke, despite having few scenes, made us fall in love with her and cry when Jackie, her character died (Oga Touch and follow did her dirty) Shaffy Bello, who, in addition to delivering her line added a bit of subtle social cues here and thereto make them more believable.

Chidi Mokeme gave us chills through the role of Scar. A worthy come back to the history after some years of hiatus Ini Edo made us root for Inem because of her versatility.

Nse Ekpe-Etim dazzled us as usual; displaying razzness one minute and poshness the next Shola Shobowale did less shouting (Ooops!) but she was amazing in her role Zubby Michael was spectular as usual (Body dey pepper all of us at this point) Nancy Isime was in her element. Graceful and elegant throughout Yaw as Oga 'Touch and follow" was a bastard who sold out jackie Peter Okoye did his thing as the loverboy as portrayed In All, it was a very good movie You need to watch it TWICE (to fully grasp and understand the so called "plot holes"- there werent anyanyway) Welldone to Xavier, Donald and the entire cast and crew.

Cant wait for Season 2.
