Odogwu Reviews Nwa Boi Movie | If you Know How to Eat You Should Know How to Cook | Flo Chinyere

[@FabulousHealthAcademyCF]

The Nwa boy system has helped and equipped many people with life skills that they wouldn’t otherwise be taught in school. It’s not slavery! They train them more than their parents would. Since they stopped or should I say minimized Nwa boy system, a lot of ev!l have been going on.

[@FloChinyere]

That last part is so true. 😞

[@ebonam]

I liked the movie, but I really enjoyed your analysis and suggestions of ways they could have improved the plot.

[@feliciaokoro2872]

I agree with Aunt Flo, there are plenty of fish in the sea. It's important to stay hopeful and open to new opportunities for love and connection.

[@discoverenesrecipes]

Nice Vlog, I enjoyed watching the movie. I think what motivated K.O.K to settle Afam first was the fact that he helped to save his goods when he had issues with customs.

[@FloChinyere]

Well, in real life, he would still have settled Paul first even if it's anyhow settlement. Later, Afam's settlement would be much louder than Paul's. You don't leave a senior boy and settle the junior one. And afterwards continue to live with the senior boi in the same house? Allow him to handle your money at the shop? Hia! Even the Oga go dey fear for his own life if he does that.

[@FabulousHealthAcademyCF]

Everyone in your home sure knows how to make meat pie. 😊With this, they can survive even when they leave home. Great job, Kamsi!

[@FloChinyere]

If they like they should not know, when they leave home and hunger waya them they can find their way to my KZbin channel. 😂😂😂

[@agoiobunso]

Right😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ifymekkam5113]

​@@FloChinyerehahaha abeg leave them for me like that oh I love them all❤🎉

[@NATIONRAWWORLD]

Yummy! Love the part of the video when u and your husband is talking about relationship. Great advice!

[@ifymekkam5113]

You guys remind me of that film it was too touching that year I can't even sleep al alone Is a story you cannot forget in a hurry and a true life story

[@TedEhioghae]

Hello! Please, post the recipe of the jollof rice + salad you made here. Exactly the way you made it in this video + how you add the bell peppers at the end. Please.

[@ginikatalks]

I guess the 'An' before the Nwa boi is because the nwa is pobably an igbo vowel. I agree with your husband on the fact that most ogas dont know how much they have so their nwa boy easily steal from them. This days, learned sons of oga are computerising their business and taking stock consistently. Alas, i am glad you people pointed out how the settlement strata in the real sense is done, I also never witnessed settling junior before senior boy. I think Afam was more of shielding the fact he is impotent by yielding to the blackmail.

[@EstellM]

He has become an expert! Wow! Our 23 year old is leaving home (for his very first job!) out of state and has asked to be shown (again!) how to make stew and pasta sauces etc! I am encouraged to do it again by this! So he doesn't go and disgrace us there!

[@FloChinyere]

😂😂😂 When they want to leave home it finally dawns on them. When I tell Kamsi to pay attention and prepare these often so he will know how to do them by heart else when he leaves home hunger go waya him he will tell me "But Mummy all the recipes are on your KZbin channel" I'll be like: what if KZbin disappears tomorrow?. "Mummy don't worry, it won't disappear." So like Kamsi said, your son should not worry, they are lucky that their generation has all these recipes on the internet so no need to memorize the recipes. Good luck to him in his new life! Nne the nest is emptying slowly, nwayo nwayo na only you and your sweetheart go remain in that house ooo. 🙌

[@EstellM]

He claims it is easier to watch and repeat than youtube! He will figure out soon that being a big biy is not only for mouth! Hopefully he will save some money instead of buying take outs. We have been empty for a while with the youngest leaving a couple of years ago. They keep flying back every now and then before the next step! This one graduated last year, taking an exam and now off! It is a great feeling to be empty provided they are all in a good place, otherwise, the nsogbu continues!

[@nellyscorner]

I have missed Ur vlogs.. Nothing can separate the love kamsy has for meatpie

[@FloChinyere]

The way he finishes meat pies in this house, eh! Chai o!

[@UleluRuthkitchen]

Madi me ooh! .😂😂 The floor is sparkling after 3 days , so beautiful . Welcome back though. That meatpie make sense ,i wish i could grab it from the screen,he really tried with meatpie. Tell him, i said he scored 💯

[@FloChinyere]

He will hear, thank you. 😍😊

[@nenni561]

Wow!!! Great work Kamsi... Yummy meat pie 👍🏽

[@mekashealingjourney]

The floors look so shiny 😍 I need to varnish my floors after seeing this. I love that movie and my children enjoyed learning about the Nwa boys I agree with hubby about why Afam didn’t want the secret exposed. So many things to unpack from the movie.

[@FloChinyere]

Yes, so many things to unpack. I guess the want us to keep discussing the movie for years. 😂

[@sholasholknb9199]

AFAM saved his Ogas kanayo, when his goods were seized by immigration in wharf out of no where, KOK was almost sick from port issue. While Paul was destroying KOK business

[@PrisTvv]

I will watch this movie, yes Ma you're right real life senior boy has to be settled first according to his performance. That rice and meat pie so yummy 😋

[@FloChinyere]

That away from home Jollof Rice hit differently. We need to change location often. 😋 Yes o, as the umu boi are serving, oga is watching and when it's time for settlement, you will paid back in your own coin. 😂

[@FabulousHealthAcademyCF]

I’m curious to know why they use “An” instead of A, I think “An” should be correct. In the same order, I also think it’s because in Igbo language, the M and N produce vowel sound, especially when followed by a consonant. The M and N are pseudo vowel in Igbo language. It is also said that the correct spelling of my name should be double M and not NM. However, this is how It appears in my important documents.

[@FloChinyere]

The digraph nw is a consonant so should be preceeded by the article "a". He is a nwa boi ✅ He is an nwa boi ❌ Even when saying the second one, the tongue hooks in one's mouth. 😂 The spelling of your name is just difference in dialects. Imo and Abia people typically spell nma and I think this is the spelling used in Igbo language books, Anambra and Enugu people typically spell mma. Some people spell whatever comes to mind.

[@ogomsseries]

I enjoyed the movie thou I didn’t understand the ending thou and why they kpai Paul and I know that afamefuna did good for his oga hence he got settled early before him. Meatpie di yummy.

[@FloChinyere]

A good number of people say this about the ending, if they are following the banter on social media, maybe they will make a Part 2. The way I understood it based on Paul and Afam's exchange of words when Paul came to collect another blackmail fund is that Paul started doing business with that guy that once brought illicit business to their Oga earlier in the movie. Those people kpai Paul maybe due to bad biz gone wrong.

[@JUMPIEJUMPIE]

The young shall grow! Kamsi wow. Well done because of you i had to click like. I enjoyed it i have to teach my kids stuff especially the boy child cooking washing etc thanks flo Love your hubby's and ur analysis on the movie. Na your chewing be😅

[@Idojournal]

Overall i think it is a good movie and worth my time of watching except for a few scenes i didn't think was actually reflecting the way the apprenticeship is, like settling Afemefuna first and didn't like how unclear it ended.

[@FloChinyere]

I am sure they are reading all the comments from people that said the ending was unclear. Expect a Part 2. 😂😅

[@FabulousHealthAcademyCF]

I love this. I think the title of this video should be “home away from home.” Followed by how Odogwu reviews “Nwa boy movie.” Just a suggestion.

[@FloChinyere]

😍😉😂

[@tellynwobi1717]

Loved watching this❤❤

[@globbs2581]

Well done Kamsi,you have learnt well cause at first I thought was your mom making the pie due to the movements and style.

[@FloChinyere]

You have sharp eyes o. Now that you say it, I can see it. He learnt my moves too! 😂

[@Enchristed]

Aunty Flo, you look so good. This our carrot juice is producing a glowing skin. 🤗🤗. I actually think the Igbo Apprenticeship is a lovely exercise but can be done alongside formal education. For example an Apprecnticeship done alongside part-time online classes would be very good.

[@FloChinyere]

Umu boy are too busy to combine this with formal education. Wake up early to do chores, leave for the market, stay there till close of market most times 6pm, get home and continue with chores. While serving, they learn how to write because they write receipts and inventory, they learn basic maths and accountancy because book-keeping is part of the business. If they are serving in a non-Igbo state, they learn how to speak English. And really, this is all the formal education they need to run their businesses. If the person wants a certificate, after settlement he can attend lessons, sit for NECO and get a degree. Mmh you just reminded me of my broken juicer. Stopped working since December and I haven't seen a good one to buy. The search continues. My other lifestyle practices been holding forth. 😉

[@Enchristed]

@@FloChinyere Ok. Hmmm. ok 👌. Atleast they still stand a chance to learn formally. after being paid off(settlement). This point of view is really good 😊.It seems you have a closer look at how it works in reality Please aunty, i noticed from little experience. Ogas were mentioned. Just out of curiosity, have you seen any Madam with boys doing same. I don’t mean restaurant madam but Madams with umu boys. 🧒 just curious Aunty Flo. 😂😂😂😂

[@FloChinyere]

Yes o, though not as common, there are many women doing big time businesses: stationery, tobacco, Abada/Ankara/Hollandaise biz, bags of staple food biz, building materials biz etc and these types of businesses require umu boi that would be carrying goods to and from the packing store, moving heavy goods around to show customers, go to markets located in other cities to buy goods etc. When it's time to settle them, Madam would settle her boys. Nne 😂, I'm from Anambra State, the home of business men. Everywhere you look, there's a relative, a family friend that runs the Igbo apprenticeship system, there's a cousin that is a nwa boi or became a business man through the apprenticeship system etc so any Anambra person that puts his/her ear to the ground will know how it works.

[@Enchristed]

@@FloChinyere Thank you very much for the information

[@modeleodebiyi1967]

Kamsi, I am placing my chicken meat pie orders. Where do I send payment?💯💯💯💯💯s

[@agoiobunso]

Nice vlog great job kamsi yummy meat pie

[@Angie_loom]

Nice evaluation from Aunty Flo and Uncle. There are concepts and techniques in stage and film I think you should understand. First of all, this movie is an adaptation of IAS and adaptation does not mean doing exactly as the original, right, it is a cut and join rather than a verbatim thing. The concept of adaptation allows addition, subtraction, condensation and the rest. Now, plot twist. A technique that can be used in film and on stage, it is allowed to create surprises, even though it could affect the audience initial expectations and all. The character-Paul is the perfect portrayal of an everyday ‘nwa boy’, he is neither bad nor good until after Afam’s settlement which is the existing and major plot twist as there is the son not being Afam’s son that led to blackmail(minor twist) The question now will be; why this kind of a twist? The twist could have been any other thing, why is it the undone from the real sense of the scheme? My Answer: Afam’s likeness for Amaka(their boss’ daughter) was too obvious, and it is enough for his Boss to settle him. One might say but Paul was already having his way with her, he could have settled him. Yes, Paul and Amaka were already seeing each other, but they were hiding at their best. The scene where Afam came to see his boss will confirm that he knows, he even said it. So, Paul was never a bad blood until after Afam’s settlement and left on his own with the money he deceived Amaka to steal from her dad. As a Thespian and a critic for screen and stage what i would say is; The adaptation is nice and good effort in the portrayal, but there were directorial editorial lapses. Editorial lapse like; the part where Paul collected money, the 1m naira from Amaka in the shop is suppose to come after the settlement scene but it came before it and Amaka referring to it in the scene where Afam is leaving his boss’ house as it happened two days after the settlement. There are more but make I stop here.

[@FloChinyere]

Angie, I get the shift in adaptations but there are certain codes that an adaptation must follow. For instance they should not have interfered with the order of settling umu boi because it has dire consequences. Unless part of the story is to portray such consequences, they should follow that one to the letter. Ok, so if we did not see any bad behaviour from Paul, why did Oga not settle him? It's an unjustified twist with no continuity. Like I've said to someone else in the comments, Oga cannot settle a junior boi first and continue to live with the unsettled senior boi in the same house, continue to give him access to his money and business. It can never happen. Oga's life is even at stake here. All the twists in the romantic part of the movie are allowed because how someone bahaves when it comes to the matters of the heart is not written on stone. If they had introduced Oga's wife's relationship with umu boi in the story, they could have applied all manner of twists in that part of the story and nobody will bat an eyelid because while some madams treat umu boi well, some are mean to them and cook up all sorts of stories about them. You go nowhere, come back and finish your thoughts. 😃😅

Nice home you have sis👍

Kamsi meat pie looks good o 😮and as for that afamefuna I’ve not watched it yet so I’ll reserve my comment 😂

[@okoyemaureen4873]

Overall the movie was just there. 4/10 for efforts. The story wasn’t well told as how Nwa boy is really been done. Anuty your really glowing Kamsi pls I would love to taste your meat pies ❤

[@FloChinyere]

Yes, anybody that knows how the nwa boi system works will find the story lacking. Thank youuuuu 🥰😊

[@VickieGold-kx9xl]

Ihe a ka ana akpo movie critic I always sleep off trying to watch any movie,it took me 4 days to finish the movie because i will always sleep off, but in all,it was a good one

[@FloChinyere]

😂 These days I don't have the patience to sit for long and watch a movie but this one was easy for me to watch in one stretch because it doesn't contain long unnecessarily drawn out scenes. They got that right with this movie.

[@Jossypassion]

My hubby and I enjoyed the film too. Very interesting and it brought back memories. It's true the senior boiys are meant😢 to be settled first. I think some things in the film are not realistic but it's a nice film.

[@FloChinyere]

Yes, it's a well made movie.

[@vivianreginalds]

Yes 😁

[@dorisejike2475]

Anty Flo, I have seen a lady who was married off with a full term pregnancy. The husband in question is a fine young man oo...

[@FloChinyere]

Na wa o! that must be a one in a million occurence.

[@nellyscorner]

They diverted the nwa boi story to love story...

[@FloChinyere]

Nne m, did you see that thing? There were so many aspects of nwa boy to explore but they left those and be talking love with Oga's daughter. Hia!

[@nellyscorner]

@@FloChinyere it was an ikegwuru situation. Because I watched that movie mainly because of that 'nwa boi story' attached to the name. I thought it was a full documentary

[@ChinnyCynthiaO]

​@@FloChinyere how can I like this comment 10x 😊. Plus how could Afamefuna, of all the women in this world...!!! Honestly, I didn't like anything about the love story in that movie. This Afam love too blind, mbok! 😂 #FirstTimeCommenter 😊 but an old follower 😉

[@ChinnyCynthiaO]

True and sad 😔. Somehow, I feel this movie is overrated. Maybe it's just me oo.

[@cheeckar]

The movie has a sequel, that is why it ended that way

[@FloChinyere]

For me, the ending was conclusive. I draw my inference from the fact that he was doing business with fraudulent people. If they make a sequel I wonder what story they will tell there. They should not go and subject the movie to the sequel curse.

[@EstellM]

Ashi ooo! An Igbo man? Mba ooo! Brother, you can use yourself as an example! That is the only way you would really know!

[@FloChinyere]

Bros ran away from using himself as an example. 😂😂😂

[@dorisejike2475]

As for the movie, I think the ogas portrayed in the movie were too friendly to their nwaboy. A typical igbo business man will not be having a round table joking session with his boys just like KOK was doing with his boys.

[@FloChinyere]

That's a great observation. Ogas believe that overfamiliarity will make umu boi feel at ease stealing their money. They wear a poker face around their umu boi to instill fear. It's only those that are close to being settled that will be holding man to man discussions with Oga. And that apiriko discussion, even though ogas know that apiriko happens, they won't openly support it for their umu boi like KOK did in the movie because it means they will be selling at higher prices hence chasing away customers. Ogas can only openly understand apiriko for other people who come to do oso ahia at their shop not their umu boi.

[@n-silverose6244]

Is not slavery most of the things thought there you can't learn it in school omo when water spoil in our compound I dey suddenly fall sickoooo to avoid fetching water and be climbing stairs in onitsha ooo😅😅

[@FloChinyere]

😂😂😂 Mehn I can't with all those Awada "skyscrapers".

[@Nwamaka-hc9fo]

He settled Afam first before Paul because Oga sees that Paul's ways are not very pure. Imagine using the Daughter to be given him money. Secondly i think the Oga suspects that Paul connived with that guy to give fake money etc. I may the wrong. But I agree the plot would have Been done in such a way that there wouldn't be bad blood created like sending Paul away if u suspect him.

Sister biko next time you are coming to Nigeria please get me get me that cashew nuts it looks yummy, the one we have here is not as nice as that's of yours biko nnem👏

[@Angie_loom]

And if you go through with the credits Story Producer Screenplay by Yorubas igbos are there too but dying culture or should I say modern igbos 😂 with this, They can’t give best account for the IAS. They tried! Note: (please, I am not promoting tribalism here.)

[@FloChinyere]

It's no mean feat for a Yoruba guy to emback on this kind of story. A good story teller is a good story teller and can tell any story with indepth research. It's not enough to consult just any Igbo person, it has to be several people that understand the system very well and tasked with curating every stage of the making of this movie from the writing to post production.

[@EstellM]

I have no clue about this film. I do need to get a life obviously!

[@FloChinyere]

Eheee? It's on Netflix, the name is Afamefuna.

[@EstellM]

An Igbo man will not forget. If he shields her in public, in private he will use it to taunt her whenever there is an issue! I did not know these facts about those boys!
