They are not the cause of anybody's problems. The sick actors were also there, what did they invest in to sit upon when roles are no longer coming. When fame comes, they buy cars and flaunt, if you comment, they will term you "broke ".
Do you know Wizkid, Naira Marley' s investments?
Secondly, people tag them as prostitutes, so they should work as prostitutes and dashing out the monies? That's why most of the females don't give. You call them printed names then ask them for money?

Its nice for a start but I am tired of Nigerian movies that focus on love, fake living, dry jokes and all.. Cant they invest money or partner with a movie producer abroad to make a movie that makes headlines worldwide..

No disrespect, we are actually trying but lets do better movies that cannot be predicted..
If you've watched the 2020 Action Thriller movie TENET one question you'll ask yourself is, How did a human being on earth sit down to think of such a movie.. Its pure genius! And you can never predict such movies.. That particular movie began at the end and gradually narrowed to the beginning!

In some other climes, other movies gross more than 1billion dollars.

When are we going to achieve box office dominance in dollars?

Anyho

Congratulations to the producers - JJSSkillz and Funke

That is some really good revenue. Say the movie was shot with 50 million naira, which I doubt because films this way are cheap to produce, that means it made 10x its original cost. This will give papa Nduka ideas to transport his cheap 200 thousand naira movies to the cinema screen first. Such a profit is too good to pass up.

The 3 second dance video was completely pointless and lacked context.
