“Intelligent minds were not taken into consideration at all in the writing and making of Chief Daddy 2. Celebrity after celebrity only leads to leprotic performance after leprotic performance. As a haplessly brain-dead story leads to the pointless scene after pointless scene.” – @it_is__I
“What Chief Daddy 2 needed was a good plot, obviously there’s money to cast and shoot. Why couldn’t you pay for a good story? When e be say everything for industry na politics..You have to know A who knows B and can connect C to get you to D.” – @yeankhar
“Chief Daddy 2 is a perfect representation of the year that just ended. Complete confusion. Like something that was just spat out, the way 2020 spat out 2021 and it just stumbled along to the end, never found its footing.” – @Thrive__gh
“Chief Daddy 2 is a prank. They will upload the original one next week.” – @iam_abelson
