The Story
A gullible young man, Dayo, leaves the country to search for a job in Lagos with hopes of making it big. His dreams are quickly smothered as the reality of real-life issues of life in a city set in. He is quickly forced to make sense of the ways of survival in Lagos as quitting is not an option – he cannot let his family down.
Each episode presents ambiguous situations that Dayo, Acid and the neighbours find themselves in and each time the most ambiguous solutions are entered into especially by Acid who gets Dayo in trouble each time. And they both survive. One wonders when Dayo will decide to leave and start off on his own.

Technical Construction
Nothing special with the technical construction. The choice of the set is great as one can quickly relate to the whole setup of the landlord’s compound. SOund, music is often good, and the choice of the score for the different situations good. The movie is fast-paced and the editor does not loose that making the series great to watch.
Conclusion
The Director did a good job with this as everything comes together for this hilarious comedy
Rating
I give it a 7/ 10 however if you do not like silly comedy it may not be your cup of tea.
