What happens

Omugwo is a 2017 Nigerian comedy film written by Kemi Adesoye and directed by Kunle Afolayan under the production studio of Golden Effects Pictures in partnership with African Magic Films. Kunle Afolayan, who is known for his whodunit movies, diverted to provide the audience with comic relief. The comedic movie is one of the three movies commissioned by African Magic Films to be produced in collaboration with him. The film, though comical, addresses a vital issue in African settings—motherhood. It prioritizes African traditional rites in motherhood, and it stars actors and actresses such as Ayo Adesanya, Patience Ozokwor, Omowunmi Dada and Ken Erics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
