Fortunately, the new commissioner of Nasarawa state, (where he came from )was announced on the television and this happens to be his dad, he went all the way to locate his dad and was recognized as his son after the history was told and by this he gained his respect even from those that mocked him.
THEME: Never look down on people no matter their status or where they come from you can never tell what will become of them in the future. Psalms 118:22 “a stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone”.
MAIN CAST: Akume Akume, Chinwe Owoh, Chinwetalu Agu, Oge Okoye and Sulaman Adara.
CAMERA SHOTS: The major shots that were used in this movie where the Medium Shots to give a close view of the characters. The Extreme Close Up Shot was used at the scene where chuckwuemeka(Akume Akume) was accused of stealing a contact from his uncles shop but we found out that it was rather kept careless by one of Mazi Okafors salesmen beside the door entrance. Close up Shots was taken on Chuckwuemeka foot on his way to fetch water and he met Pauline(Oge Okoye) and her brother chatting along the way.
CAMERA ANGLE: The high angel was used in the scene where Chuckwuemeka was sitted under palm tree, one could see him below; the camera looks downward on him for a long I think this was done to show to us that he was worried and also in a deep thought. Low angel was used at scene immediately when Oge walked up to met at his sitting position under the palm tree, in away the camera looked upward at her approach and also when she started her conversation with Chukwuemeka. The mid angle was used when Mazi Okafor, his wife, daughter and Chuckwuemeka were in the sitting room Mazi Okafor was trying to address an issue.
CAMERA MOVEMENT: the tracking movement was used at the scene where chuckwuemeka was accused of stealing and was thereby dragged by the other salesmen from the shop into Mazi Okafors second shop opposite the first shop in which he was inside. The pan movement was made use at the point where Chuckwuemeka found his dads family house, showing us how typical Northern village looked like and also in the city where he later met his dad at his residence reflected the way the Hausas dress, decorate and keep their house.
TRANSITION: The use of sharp zoom-in and out for flash back was when Adugo told her son Chuckwuemeka of her past concerning his birth and his father.
FINALE: The movie ended with chuckwuemeka finding his father in good state giving a hope for the future, man can never determine your future except you allow the ways of men weigh you down, in chuckwuemekas situation he never allowed what people said or thought about him to keep down he went in search for what almost seemed impossible but his determination to find his father made a way for him.
