My best childhood film is a native Nollywood movie titled Aki na ukwa. This title is gotten from the traditional fruit eaten by most people in the Southeastern part of Nigeria—the palm kernel nut and the fried breadfruit nut.

Specifically these names where given to the principal actors because of their diminutive nature, their stature and of course the way they caused mischief.
The film is named after the two main characters, two diminutive actors who act almost I’m the same fashion as the cartoon characters Tom and Jerry. Two brothers cause complete chaos at their home, in their school and basically in their whole village. They lived with their father and all they do is try to create something in a very funny way to cause mischief and sometimes they get into troubles and find a smart way out of it. The movie was directed by Mohammed and was produced Chukwuka Emelionwu. On one occasion they had to add some grinded pepper into the bathing water of their father and by the time the man had taken his bath he was in pains, scratching his whole body till he almost got himself naked. One of them had been asked to cook for their father’s girlfriend since their mother was late, because they didn’t like the woman, he had to add sugar to the soup. The soup tasted awful.

One interesting thing is that they were never caught. The only time they were to be caught they compromised the situation and had their way.
