Ada Omo Daddy is a captivating Nollywood movie that's embedded with a poignant storyline that revolves around family, love, and redemption and goes on to delve into different family dynamics, cultural heritage, and the like. Overall, I must say that it's a thought-provoking movie, and it's worth noting that although I'm not much of a fan of Nollywood movies, recently I had no choice but to watch it alongside a friend who came to help me out during my vulnerable state, and I must say this movie is quite interesting with loads of twists that got me both angry and intrigued till the very last scene.
The movie was filled with some of the top Nollywood actors and actresses of the Yoruba Nollywood, such as Shola Sobowale, Dele Odule, and Mercy Aigbe, alongside some Igbo top movie industry legends like Chiwetalu Agu, Nkechi Blessing, and Charles Okafor, who all did an amazing job in letting themselves fit perfectly into their various roles and playing them as though it's real. It's funny how I was literally boiling with anger at how some of the storylines play out.
The story was based on the life of Perosola, a fine young lady from a wealthy family, who was just given the role of the managing director of her father's company. Not long after that, she also got engaged to her longtime fiancé, and everything seemed to be going well and in the right direction until she received a call from a stranger who claimed to be her father and wanted to meet her in person. At first, she didn't believe the man in question, but still made an inquiry about the situation from her mother and aunt, who both told her it's probably someone who wanted to scam her or so.
But things took a drastic turn when the man persisted and shared pictorial evidence to back up his claim. Perosola was terrible and didn't know who to believe anymore, so she confronted her mother, who had no choice but to tell her the truth of how she was impregnated by Perosola biological father, got married to him, and how he maltreated her and threw her out of the house at the middle of the night when Perosola was just 3 months old, leaving her for dead with nowhere to go at that odd hour.
The thought-provoking scene began to play out from that very scene for me, because yes, I understand it's okay to be shocked about the realization that you're not the actual daughter you've always called your dad from childhood, but then getting mad to the point of not wanting to talk to them or relate with them is just insane in my opinion. I mean, these guys didn't treat you like you're adopted; he even put you at the helm of affairs of his company despite the fact that he has two other children who are his biological children, unlike Perosola. Had he treated her less or given that role to either of the other kids, then we might have said it's probably because she's not his; that's why he did that, but this man gave you all the love a man can show his own children.
In the end, she ended up spending more time with her newfound father and distancing herself from the family she used to know, even having a standoff with her mother when she questioned her about it, but then it's worth noting that I think the storyline is quite engaging; the narrative of the storyline is one that would keep viewers glued to the screen till the end, making it a well-balanced, emotional, in-depth masterpiece.
Overall, I think Ada Omo Daddy is a must-watch that shows the power of family in tackling complex issues such as personal struggles and family conflict in a realistic manner, and overall lessons learned revolve around forgiveness and understanding, and that's why I'm having it as my favorite movie that thrilled, and this is based on the storyline and how it showcases the importance of family bonds, and I'll rate it a 4/5 for its Nollywood standard.

I haven't watch any Nollywood movie any time. This one sounds interesting but I can't say that I will watch it for sure as in recent days I hardly watch movies. I hope someday I will watch it if I get some time for it.
It's fine if you don't have time to watch due to school, but then it's a good movie.
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm not a fan of Nollywood movies, but with the way you explain this movie it will be interesting and I will try it. Bu
Neither am I, but I had no choice but to watch when someone was catching beside me.
