Timely...

A political thriller that's been long overdue out of Africa's Giant, Nigeria. Cinematography was crystal. Star-studded, the acting was top-notch and touched on issues bedevilling Nigeria as a nation. Also, released at a time prior to the 2019 General elections in Nigeria, 'If I Am President' will be a handmaid in enlightening and educating Nigerians, Africans, even the globe on the technicalities and ideologies holding sway in Nigeria - and why the office of the President of Nigeria (PON) is for those who do not play by the rules as is obtained in other 'sovereigns'.

However, one thing that 'If I Am President' delivers is hope. What can we do if not be hopeful? Perchance, it's the reason a synonym for Nigerians is 'resilience'.

I also liked the fact that in this movie, women are brought to the forefront - a woman, played by ace actress, Joke Silva, vies for the office of PON.
