WAR: Wrath And Revenge!
When did Rahma Sadau (Binta) become this super talented! What an ambitious wife of a gubernatorial candidate Mofe Ducan (Nuhu Bula); the only one who was the (chess) pawn—who got played in the game of politics.
Politics is war, vested interest, blood and brutısh understood by only the dirty hands who don't really care about the masses afterall.
Everyone was dirty. Buba Koda was dirtiest, in his quest for power he killed his own brother Emir Khalifa for accumulation of wealth in connivance with people in high places including the security agency. He lived by a personnal mantra — don't let them see you coming, that is the only way to survive in the world.
The police corruption was brought to the fore in this masterstroke by Ebonylife film. I could not bait or blink. I wanted to do just one episode but I got hooked as I watched everything to the end wanting to know more if Rahma Sadau (Binta) ate the kolanut like late Governor Sanusi was served by Patrick Doyle (Alhaji Umar Loko) on a revenge mission for his son Dikko Loko.
Theresa Edem-Isemin (Alicia) was superlative. Every second of the play was intense and well scripted, if you bait an eyelid you will miss a thing. No, you don't wanna miss a second of it.
Though Mofe Ducan (Nuhu Bula) admitted to all the crimes while coasting home to electoral victory, would he govern the state? I would want to see. Would he divorce Rahma Sadau? I would love to know.
Filmed on locations in Abuja; the seat of Africa's biggest political landscape, it was refreshing to familiar places of our Abuja in this engaging series.
Please, someone should stop Rahma Sadau not to eat the kolanut!
There's no official confirmation about the renewal of War: Wrath and Revenge for the next season, but the suspenseful ending (cliffhanger) hints at an ongoing storyline. The potential upcoming season might introduce fresh characters and a more intricate plot, exploring the aftermath of Nuhu and Binta's arrest and Dikko's ascent as the next governor. Buba Koda, being of royal descent, could potentially evade consequences due to his wealth, raising questions about whether he'll assist Nuhu upon his release. Alicia's safety may remain uncertain until Buba is permanently dealt with.
The future developments in War: Wrath and Revenge depend on the streaming platform's decision to bring it back.
It is an 9/10.
