Reception From Viewers
Netizens have taken to social media to disclose that they are impressed by the storytelling and have appreciated the professionalism and embodiment of the characters by Chioma and Chief Obiora. Some commentators mentioned that Obiora, who is a kind, intentional and sincere partner, is the type of man any woman should pray for. However, Obiora’s actions have received predominantly negative feedback from the male demography on the microblogging site X.
Specifically, some commentators noted that love cannot be bought, hence, Chief Obiora shouldn’t have acquired so many gifts for Chioma because it is perceived as being ‘manipulative’. Another coterie of people mentioned that they do not like the portrayal of Igbo men ‘buying love’. The movie has left room for conversation from social media users.
