In the subsequent scene, we meet Momiwa , the devoted housekeeper who cares for Naeto , the children Vida and Abel, and the rest of the household. It’s been ten years now, and things have pretty much changed for the good of Naeto and his family. However, Kiki soon views Momiwa as a rival, straining their relationship. She demands to be called “Madam” and ultimately orchestrates Momiwa’s arrest on false theft charges while Naetoway is on a business trip. On his return, Naeto finds a fake resignation letter from Momiwa. Refusing to believe she left voluntarily, he searches for her.

Iyabo Ojo delivers a spectacular performance as Kiki. She adeptly captures Kiki’s complexity, transitioning from apparent guilt to revealing her true, manipulative nature. Ojo’s nuanced acting makes Kiki a compelling and multifaceted character. “Momiwa” exemplifies this standard, showcasing scriptwriting and production excellence by revealing each twist and truth at precisely the right moment.

The movie seamlessly integrates various languages, including English, Igbo, and Yoruba, with a touch of French, minimally used by the character of the chef, Phildela Yve. This multilingual approach adds depth and authenticity to the film.
