When I watched this particular movie titled Soole* I was just laughing at to some point, I dont even know if it was because of the characters they used or the story line or things that happened in the movie, the story line really look really look real and the title Cheap ride in english is want most people in Nigeria always love to take, we love to beat down the cost of things be it goods or transportation and love cheap things especially girls. Well it is how our economic is in this part of the world. Cheap ride vehicles are those vehicles that doesn't take the right channel and decide to operate illegally and those taking such ride are doing it at their own risk because most times those vehicles are dangerous but at times people don't care because they find it more cheaper.

I remembered when I took one, it was my first and the last kind of journey, I had to reach Ibadan city that day for something important, and I was short on cash, I decide to just a cheap bus, I myself knew it was risking because of the kidnapping news that was flying up and down along the expressway way, I stood by the rode side for like 30mins before I saw a bus, took it and I was scared all through the journey looking right and left and also doing silence prayer. I reach my destination that day and decide not to take such ride again.

This movie started when a busway driver was ask to take a trip to Enugu from Lagos to bring in some In-laws, and he decide to use that opportunity, take some people to Enugu instead of going there empty, maybe he use to do it once in a while but this time around, things didnt go as planned, a woman dropped a locked bag for him to deliver as the driver and payed him, he kept it safe while lot of people of different character were on board, the journey went well until a group of robbers stop them on the way and mistakenly took the wrong bag because they look exactly the same to what their informant told them.

The people were able to figure who the informant was and left him tied to a tree, They also opened the bag and found huge amount of money in dollars and decide to share it among themselves but unfortunately, the worst was about to happened, There was a woman on board that is a wanted criminal and kidnapper, she kidnap ladies, start up an illegal baby making factory with the victim and sold their illegal born babies to make money, and also she was the master planner behind the robbery incident and unknowingly for her too, two CTU (Counter terrorism unit agent) were in the bus trailing her.

Things happened, lot of people died, and some were kidnapped but where they rescue, did they arrest the woman and what happened to the huge amount of money they were planning to share among themselves, Watch this on netflix to know the end of the story.
