Confusion Na Wa is a thought-provoking Nigerian movie released in 2013, directed by Kenneth Gyang. The movie delves into the lives of several characters in a way that highlights corruption, prejudice, and moral decay in society. The movie begins with a shocking discovery of a man's body who had been brutally beaten, tied and tossed on the roadside. This starts a chain reaction that sets in motion a series of events that bring together a motley crew of seemingly disconnected people whose paths cross several times during the course of the movie.

Among the principal characters in the movie are Terfa (Ramsey Nouah), a young man who survives by engaging in petty crimes, Alero (Tunde Aladese), a university student who cheats on her exams to keep up with her peers, Kola (O.C Ukeje), an upwardly-mobile banker who is having an affair with a married woman, and Ene (Confidence Enagu), a young woman who wants to break free from her conservative and repressive family.

The movie deftly weaves together the different storylines, showing how the characters' lives intersect in surprising and unexpected ways. Through their encounters, we see the social ills that plague Nigerian society brought to the fore. This includes corrupt public servants who embezzle public funds, casual bigotry, police brutality, amongst others.

The dialogues in this movie are crisp, witty and thought-provoking. The characters are multi-dimensional and each has his/her demons to deal with. At the heart of the movie is the theme of the ripple effects of our actions. We see how the decisions of one person can have far-reaching consequences, leading to unintended outcomes.

The movie's cinematography is excellent, with some stunning visuals depicting the city of Lagos in all its chaos and beauty. It also has a fittingly eclectic soundtrack that compliments the movie's themes.

The acting in this movie is superb, with each actor bringing their A-game. Among them, Toyin Alabi stands out as Kola's wife, who radiates a quiet strength despite her husband's infidelity. Tunde Aladese also gives a convincing performance as a student trying to balance the demands of her social life, her academics and her moral compass.

In conclusion, Confusion Na Wa is a refreshingly different movie from the typical Nollywood fare. It is a movie that leaves a lasting impression on its viewers, making them ponder the moral complexities inherent in modern-day Nigerian society. It is no wonder that it won several awards, including Best Nigerian Film at the 2013 African Movie Academy Awards.
