According to the priest, he was not disappointed as the movie was worth every minute.

While some people have said Uzor Arukwe portrayed the Igbo culture in a bad light, the priest said he enjoyed it.

He said the scene he enjoyed the most was when they carried Ogene to visit a lady just to collect her phone number.

Father Gabriel said:

"When I saw a clip of the scene where they carried ogene to go and ask for the girl’s phone number, I got interested. I had lost interest in movies some 20 years ago. And seeing many people talk about the Igboness of the movie, I finally decided to watch it. I went to YouTube and watched it in full. It was worth every minute."

The priest said he liked how the movie encouraged everyone to be themselves and be authentic instead of trying to sound posh while speaking the English language.

He said:

"The major thing I like about the movie is how it encourages one to remain authentic with one’s culture, especially one’s native language and accent. If you’re an Igbo man, Yoruba man, etc, that’s WHO you are! It’s a blessing! Your language is your pride! There’s no shame in being Igbotic, you’re not an English man. The English people can’t even speak a word of our language, but we speak theirs, and you’re worrying yourself about ‘accent’!"

"I say this again: the worst thing you’ll do to your child is deprive them of their native language from childhood, or if you make them learn it as a second language instead of as their mother tongue. The movie’s title is “Love in Every Word”. It’s highly recommended."
