The Tribunal: My Own Side of The Movie (Review)

This movie is all about law and the employment rights of the ‘albino’ guy. A tribunal is a semi court of law, that handles special cases that is unique to a particular sector. The lawyers (counsels) are not robed (they do not wear their wigs and gowns). It is more relaxing as the regular proceedings of court are not strictly followed (e g. You won’t hear anything like “court!!” or “order!!” or all those standing and sitting stuff).
Biko, permit me, I have forgotten their names in the movie. Haha!!

Main gist/koko of the story—
Major scenes, 80 percent, were centred around the tribunal/court room.
Albino guy claims that regional manager Mrs. Abebe (Omotola Ekeinde) has a hatred for him because he is an albino and she made sure he got sacked. His claims are very difficult to prove of course. He is praying the court that he be reinstituted as an employee. Mrs Abebe is saying that albino was sacked because he couldn’t perform his tasks well. The movie focused more on the life of Jimi Disu though (his lawyer).
So there is the lawyer guy who represents the albino in the movie. His name is Jimi Disu. He is a good lawyer who kinda forgot about his greatness, because of something that  wasn’t even his fault. He started drinking heavily and wasted his talent. He became a charge and bail lawyer. This is a man who won a case that was analysed in law school (as in, greatness at its peak). It is amazing how people punish themselves over mistakes or issues that isn’t their fault. Even if it is your fault, please move on.
The junior lawyer – very nice girl. Soft character. The type of woman a man likes. Lol. She was the character that held the entire story. She is the link between the albino guy and the lawyer. She motivated and pushed the lawyer to take the case. Believed in the lawyer. Motivated and at a point broke him. Her softness and gentle push made him put him extra effort. She kept the albino guy sensible.
Albino guy— forget this guy’s albinism. He is actually a very fine gentleman. My heart melted, in the last scene when he put on his glasses and gestured for his female friend lawyer (please remind me not to forget their names oh) to call him. Nice body too. Tall. On point. I liked the fact that he knew his rights and actually wanted to fight for it. But he was quite temperamental. It wasn’t entirely his fault though. Somehow, I now understand what albinos go through. I remember when one of Mrs. Abebe’s lawyers chanted the song “oyibo pepper, chiki chiki pepper”. He got mad. Lost his temper all the time even after being warned by his lawyers. The lawyers on other side wanted to prove that he was temperamental, extremely sensitive, who thought because he is an albino, the whole world should pity him. And if not for the last-minute discovery, they would have won sef. It was a lie of course. The albino’s problem was that he was too temperamental and he did not have convincing proof.

Mrs Abebe was just that perfect and rude protagonist. Always giving that ‘ntoi’ ‘you will loose’ look to that albino guy. Haha. She truly irritated him. An annoyingly calm woman. And yes, she truly despised albinos.
My Personal Score for the Movie..
I will give the movie a 6/10. Good actors, but same boring scene. Not the conventional story line though. Slightly ‘intelligent’. I am so sure real lawyers wrote the trial (examination in chief, cross examination etc. See the movie to find out) because it was done intelligently.  The use of legal terms was not entirely correct sha. At least better than that ‘other’ movie. Haha. Sha sha sha, they tried.
You should see the movie before it leaves the cinemas. I hid so many things on purpose so I won’t spoil the movie for you finish.
Have you seen the movie? If you have, what are your thoughts?
