Interesting I like the comparable correlation between the two variables i.e the God father and Scarface with Gangs of Lagos… whether we like it or not The movie G.O.L elaborates the thesis of one of the main issues in Nigeria and Lagos to be precise. Godfatherism and the use of political thugs. And I don’t see the movie as a derogatory of isale eko culture to me it an awareness of the culture because now people,especially in the diaspora are now more interested in knowing more about the real eyo culture…

Yes, the movie is not derogatory. It is just realism which some Nollywood viewers are just getting acquainted with.
