WURA: The Blood-Thirsty Gold hunt
Movies are some of the biggest distractions but we love them all the same 🙂
Not everyone loves them but for those that do, we learn to acknowledge well produced and well acted movies and thats why i will be acknowledgeding this ShowMax's first original telenovela by the name WURA.
The movie is a localised adaptation of the south African telenovela by the name "The River". The movie is captivating, intriguing and honestly a good watch with lots of reality and life lessons to pick out.
I'm not normally a fan of series. But why?
Its hard to fight them off. I end up moving to the next episode even after i said i would stop🥲.
I know that happens to you too right.
Well thats rhe work of suspense and when it comes to suspense, WURA gave her A game for Drama suspense.
Despite the fact that there had been a general blackout in the country and hence no electricity. I have used my last 10% to watch WURA.
Dont blame me 😢
I will tell you a little about this series and why you would love it too.

At the beginning, her mine is about closing down because thry are no more able to find any gold. She is oweing lots of creditors and has to announce to her workers that she would have to lay off some of them.
The community leader and most senior mine worker talks back, complaining that she would be unjust to lay them off after she had promised to build them houses. That she must give them all she had promised.
She then says he would be the first to be sacked. The other miners almost begin a protest until this man by the name Pa Olusegun Kuti stops them saying that they would sue her to court. He later gets back home and takes his tools and goes off to the farm.
While washing up at the river by his farm, he finds a big piece of gold and takes it to mrs Wura. He knows the gold would be a fortune to her collapsing company. He also makes her make a deal that he would show her where he found the gold if she made all the mine workers share holders.
She agrees and he takes her to the side of the river
