I'm so happy for Funke, she's one of the hardworking, talented and sedulous actress in Nollywood. I still remember back then in early 2000's when I first watched her movie, I knew already she will go far, congrats!

I still remember her when I was a teenager watching "I need to know" in 1998.

Stop this.
She hasn't achieved a fraction of what Angelina Jolie has achieved.

Previous record holder was a comic movie the new holder is also a comic movie... Don't be surprised if the next is also from the same genre...

The only reason I will use my money and buy ticket to watch a Nigerian movie, is if I am damn sure its gonna make me laugh...
The day Nigerian film industry prioritises the action genre, that's the day I'm gonna start patronising them.
Hollywood, bollywood, Korea, Philippines, Southern America all prioritises good action films.

congrats to her, i actually thought they make more than that. Nigeria still have a long way to go... that figure is not up to the cost of making some movies in advance world, we shall get there someday .

You don't expect the entertainment sector to totally outperform the economy. As the economy grows and more money is in people's pockets, they will be able to go to cinemas.

Cinemas are a premium service in Nigeria. There are very few screens and many Nigerians have never been to a cinema.

That's why many people laughed when they were comparing Genevieve with Funke.Funke is on another level entirely, it's even clear to the blind.

Almost half a billion naira for a movie not up to a month at the cinema.i hope IRS is watching this figure that seems overblown.
But come to think of it....entertainment has become a mainstream of our economy outside govt control. Next thing is for Netflix to acquire for another $200k.am sure the budget for this movie wasn't up to 50m..time to rethink my earlier stand against investing in business like this.
But what's so special about this movie??.
Is it the glamour or the cast or the crew or the title,the publicity or the time it came out.

Filmmaking is highly lucrative (especially now) in Africa with International Media Outfits like Canal+ and Netflix on our shores. I'm producing a Cinema film next year and I need investors. We have a strong story with solid cast and crew for the job. All that's left is adequate funding.

It's a movie that along with telling a great story, promotes Edo state's rich cultural values and beautiful scenery.

If you ready to rethink your earlier stand and decide to invest in the industry, start with us. Give us a try, I'm positive we will all testify at the end.

Funke Akindele herself is very popular
She now added more popular actors and actresses
The movie itself is a comedy
The Yoruba ladies I know love her movies and don't joke with her episodal films.
The promotion online and everywhere else too
Too many things sha
Personally, I have only watched one of her movies ever.

Because they are sensible enough to channel their time and energy into their work rather than engaging in useless tribalism.

The question is does he even know who Funke is, cos if he did, he wouldn't type what he did. But then again, considering what weed does to people, one should not be surprised.

Genevieve to Funke? Never heard of that. The two who were being constantly compared were Genevieve and Omotola. In any case, each of these ladies have their own niche and talents, it is not necessary to pit one against the other. The sky is wide enough.

Why am I not suprised. Their Marketing was massive. This wouldn't have been possible if they hadn't travelled to air it in Dubai (UAE).

The Dubai group I joined recently has just been full of posts of the Movie. Even before the premiere in Dubai on the 21st, they kept on Marketing and Posting.

I have learnt a lot especially in the area of Marketing.

Well, congrats to her.

Join us and celebrate as one of our Sickle Cell Patient (SS) just got CURED Completely and her Genotype has been converted to AA. It is a Miracle. We are so happy. What God cannot do doesn't exist.

To all those that were doubting and laughing saying Sickle Cell is forever and it can't be cured , well sorry is your case. God has shamed you all.

Click this thread to know what we used and the complete Therapy and how it worked for her. Spread the word. Don't die in silence.
