"Yesterday I was, today I am, and I remain the one to fear. The dreaded one. I am Eniola Salami. KING OF BOYS." I almost peed in my pants while watching Sola Sobowale say this. I was too impressed.
To answer some of the questions, I think you need to watch again. First, part of the beauty of the series for me is that Kemi isn't putting everything in our faces. She assumed that the audiences were intelligent. On the "resurrection " of Makanaki, it was clearly stated why he didn't die. His body wasn't burnt. It's the tradition that made soldiers have to be burnt after killing them. Eniola said this while on phone conversation with odogwu. It was the same reason Makanaki asked that Odogwu's body be cut into pieces and burnt , as he didn't want another surprise in five years. Of course, it meant that they has some kind of "fortification' from juju. Even though I don't believe in resurrection. Second, Ade Tiger's betrayal was clearly faked. Both of them had it all figured out all along. He played along with her approval. There's a scene on the first episode where Ade tiger told Eniola he had some things to tell her about the table. And then, Agnes the maid came in an interrupted. Then, Agnes was sent away and Eniola then asked " So, what do you have to tell me about the table?" If you missed that scene, you'd miss the reason many things happened later. Boxer was a sacrificial lamb, unfortunately. His killing was used to fake the opponents into believing she fell for their trap and Ade tiger was still working for them. Odudubariba alluded to this and when he said at the last scene " you even had to sacrifice your own so as to fish us all out", a statement to which Eniola laughed. Makanakis making up with Eniola wasn't shown to us and I liked that. It would have spoilt the plot twist of the last scene. Maybe a back story would have been shown after the last scene to show how it happened. Again, when it happened was also alluded to by the statement Eniola made after killing Boxer - " get the car ready. We need to go and see someone very important". Many things in the series were stated with only body languages,and a few statements and that to me is beautiful storytelling. For example, if you missed the President's PA body languages during the press conference (where Dapo was thrown under the bus) and while watching the news of the attempted bombing of the journalist, you'd miss the people who planned those. The President's PA was another underground person in that movie whose body languages needed to be read to understand certain things. This is already looking like another review😁
I’m impressed going through this review, I don’t even liked it when someone is watching nollywood Movies beside me lol there sounds alone do vex me😅 I do hear about KOB I do feel it’s the normal nollywood thing. E be like say this one choke well well I will definitely see it both part.
Okay so first of all, there’s no spoiler cause you’re a late comer 50% of Nigerians stayed up all night on that Friday 27th of August to finish it😂 And Yes! You are reading too much into the series😂 Yeah boxer was a betrayer. I’ll have loved to reply this post with a VN.
KOB is a very lovely piece. Glad you watched something other than BTS😆😂
