I came across this story on Wattpad first and I must confess, it's very amazing. It has a very strong African/Nigeria Background. Though I never picture that the writer will put it out here too lol The story focuses on The Balogun’s richest and most influential family in Nigeria. Most of the setting is built around Lagos. It has a very strong political background built on other sub-themes too. You can't sleep on this one guys its really amazing

It's a great story. The cover is unique my eyes became glued to it from first sight. From the few chapters published already , I saw that the storyline lived up to what the cover portrays I was fascinated by the style and character development. It's very different from what is out here. As of the moment, I find Eniola attractive and real. Temi is a great character so are her brothers and parents. Chief Balogun makes me wonder if a world of no Evil can ever be possible. Lol.

I think is the first time I'm writing a review on an African story Lol First of all the style captured me. It's very different from what I have seen on other apps including Webnovel. The storyline is beyond average, the plotting lacks some properties but the writer made up for it with the character's development.

I think creativity is one of the first things to consider when rating a story and sincerely speaking, this story has that. The style, background and setting impressed me. Also, the suspense system is very captivating.

Hi I'm reading from Wattpad and I must say you guys are a little back behind from The writer's latest update on the story🤭 But regardless I'm here because this platform gives me an opportunity to drop reviews and I want to support this work as much as I can! "Festac" is a captivating and thought-provoking screenplay that explores the complex and often murky world of Nigeria's political elite. The Screen centers around the lives of the Balogun family, a prominent and influential family in Lagos, and their journey towards political power and domination. What struck me most about the scripting was its realistic portrayal of the political landscape in Nigeria. The Screenplay showcases the various tactics used by politicians to gain and maintain power, including bribes, threats, and manipulation of the media. The characters were well-developed and portrayed in a way that highlighted both their strengths and flaws, making them relatable and human. Furthermore, the storyline successfully tackled some of the most pressing issues facing Nigerian society, including corruption, tribalism, and the misuse of power. It highlighted the impact of such practices on both the country as a whole and individual citizens. The Screenplay is well-paced, and the storyline is epic I can't wait to see Episode 23 Oh yes! Ep23😂 I told you we are miles ahead of you guys🥳

I think the most astonishing property in this story is the style, storyline and Characters development. The Style; I must say this is something I have never seen. I have never come over story that starts with a poetry. Not even on Wattpad. A lot may not even know this. I feel like the poetries act as a bridge between the subconscious of each sub plot in each episode and the reality of the simplicity of conversations in the episodes. Lol I don’t know if anyone understands this the way I do. The Storyline; The storyline is so unique and original hardly would you find a replica or similar storyline to this. I loved the fact that it’s also very traditional and realistic. The suspense is TOPNOTCH!!! Character Development; This is the most beautiful part of this series. I’m so crazy over the characters development. Seems like the write spent a lot of time in developing these unique personalities.

This book was introduced to me by some of my friends. They kept hyping it and I decided to check it out and fell in love with both the story and writer. His style is very captivating and feeling in nature. I loved how he/she was able to create a world of fantasy yet realistic in my head. I could relate to the themes and the countless messages passed in the story, especially in the poetic intro. I think that is the most underestimated part of this story. Half the time, the poetic intros were telling us how the writer was feeling when he created that particular episode. God knows I'm crazy about some of the characters, especially late Eniola. I miss her so much her death and the way it did happen changed my perception to life and how my actions affect my odds to stay alive. Omo till date I think that scene remains the most epic and emotional moment of this story. Lol Also at first I was feeling uneasy with the writing style it was different from what is out here. But over time I think it's one of the best and unique things about Festac. A lot can write stories similar to Festac in prose but not just anybody can write it in script format and still maintain the suspense and express emotions in it. The work isn't the best out there but it's unique and very relevant to our today’s society I pray it makes it to our screen.

This is a story that could be a bestseller due to its strong and sensitive plot style. The uniqueness of the writer's style and character development is truly fascinating. Although I couldn't relate to some of the themes, I'm glad that I was and still am learning about African cultural background. Festac is indeed a story that is difficult not to fall in love with, despite its strong African background and tension. The writer showed us that perfection is far from human nature, and he reflected this through the character development. This is a classic that should make it to Netflix, as it would contribute greatly to the relevance of Black stories on the platform and around the world. Festac could be that book on the screen that will achieve global commercial success because of the genre in which it was written and its relatability to people of all races.

Festac has a very strong twisted plotting that is difficult to predict i have spent a lot of time with literature but this is different, especially the writer's style. The scripting is structured, scenes are very organized and well-timed. Also, I want to lay emphasises on the character development, the suspense and the balance in mood and setting.
