"A Tribe Called Judah"... What I think after watching.
The movie was cool. A Nollywood movie I actually enjoyed in a long while.
At the same time, I think it reflects on a very key aspect of life that most people never give much thoughts to.
That is, a male child will always need their father.
Regardless of how much a woman will love the male child, they will always need their father to be good influences in the society.
She gave birth to five children and all their fathers were absent. It's a lesson for women. Once you spoil your life, men will continue to take advantage of you.
No man will ever want to settle and train another man's child.
It doesn't matter how much you try to manipulate them with the "it's a mistake" or "a real man ought to take care of another man's child"
It won't work. They will just take advantage of you and go and probably add their own seeds since you want to be unfortunate that way.
Also, statistics shows that male children raised by single mothers tends to be the "bad eggs" in the society.
And we all saw that in the movie. Not even one of the children turned out fine for the society. Instead, they were filled with that selfish love that put only their needs into consideration and never the needs of others.
And that's the kind of love women can give their children. Only a father's disciplinary love tells the child that other's needs are important.
It is the father that seeks to make sure the male child, no matter how strong he is, he never used that strength for his own benefits alone.
If she had thought the children to protect others and not just herself, they probably would have turned out fine.
Overall, I think the movie was entertaining but the lessons were still there except you choose to ignore it.
