Omoni Oboli’s Love in Every Word has people talking. Some love it, others don’t get the hype. Uzor Arukwe plays Odogwu, a wealthy man chasing after Chioma, played by Bambam. The romance is big, flashy, and over-the-top.

The Acting

Uzor Arukwe owns his role. He plays Odogwu with confidence and charm, even if some of his actions seem too much. Bambam is a pleasant surprise. She makes Chioma’s calm, quiet nature feel real. She holds her own next to Uzor’s larger-than-life character.

The Story

Not everyone is impressed. The plot is simple: a rich man pursues a woman by throwing money around. He buys her workplace, controls situations, and wins her over. For some, it’s a dream romance. For others, it’s boring and predictable. There’s little tension or challenge. Everything comes too easy.

Too Much Money, Too Little Sense?

Odogwu’s actions raise eyebrows. Buying an estate just to get a woman’s number? Taking over her job decisions? It’s meant to be romantic, but some see it as controlling. One scene has him answering Chioma’s phone and yelling at her boss. That’s not love—that’s crossing a line.

Cultural and Social Criticism

Some say the Igbo accents are exaggerated. Others think the obsession with money is too much. Almost every character cares more about wealth than love. If Odogwu wasn’t rich, would anyone care about him? That’s the real question.

A Fantasy, Nothing More

Despite the issues, some people love the film. It’s not realistic, but that’s the appeal. It feels like a fairy tale. Like something out of a romance novel where everything works out in the end.

Final Verdict

You’ll either love Love in Every Word or wonder what the fuss is about. If you like grand, unrealistic romance, it’s for you. If you prefer depth and realism, you might be disappointed. But Uzor Arukwe and Bambam give performances worth watching.
