Tade Ogidan’s ‘OWO BLOW’ was a Nollywood classic that was released in three parts, ‘The Genesis, ‘The Revolt’, and ‘The Final Struggle’.

Released in 1996, it took a very harsh look at some of the vices that are still plaguing Nigeria, 27 years after. Issues like the miscarriage of justice, corruption, unemployment, jungle justice, police brutality, and unlawful detention were predominant in the movie.

Released at a time when movies were shot majorly for entertainment, ‘Owo Blow’ mirrored Nigerian society perfectly.

Owo Blow’ is a classic movie that can conveniently compete with many Nollywood movies of today.

There were no unnecessary scenes that dragged on for too long. It was a satirical drama that was devoid of irrelevance. There was no part of the movie that was not relevant to the plot of the film.

27 years after, ‘Owo Blow’ remains a classic any day.
