Everybody Loves Jenifa Becomes The Highest-grossing Nollywood Movie Of All Time by eyesoflagos(op): 2:18pm On Jan 07, 2025
Nollywood sensation Funke Akindele has once again made history, with her latest film, Everybody Loves Jenifa, becoming the highest-grossing Nollywood movie of all time. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The movie, which went head-to-head with Toyin Abraham’s Alakada: Bad and Boujee and other notable films, has achieved an extraordinary feat. FilmOne, the distributor of the film, took to Instagram to announce the milestone, drawing widespread acclaim for Akindele.

“Everybody Loves Jenifa has officially reached a historic ₦1.466 billion and counting at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of all time! A massive THANK YOU to our incredible audiences in Nigeria and Ghana for making this dream a reality! Your support means everything. On to even greater heights! Still showing in cinemas near you—experience the magic on the big screen,” the post read.

The film crossed the ₦1 billion mark in less than two weeks, cementing Akindele’s reputation as a trailblazer in Nollywood.

This achievement follows her record-breaking success last year with A Tribe Called Judah, the first Nollywood film to surpass the ₦1 billion milestone. Akindele’s ongoing dominance at the Nigerian box office solidifies her status as the reigning queen of Nollywood.

Fans and industry colleagues have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating her unmatched contributions to the film industry.

I guess she is doing something right...

I don't like the Jennifer series. I think it's boring and "over flogged" with the whole weird accent thing but she is making money from it and that's what matters. Life is just grace.

No one should quote me. Coz I know many of you can't take another's opinion or criticism without a fit.

Congratulations to her!

Same way I find the story line n everything annoying especially the overflogged wierd accent but it's still funny where d hype is coming from

I prefer seven doors to all these useless films, anything funke akindele is always boring to me cos of d wierd accent

It's far from being funny, it's just a total turn off for me

Exactly my sentiment too.

The whole accent thing has gone past its sell-by date. The series was also needlessly stretched.

Okechukwu

Congratulations to her, may out skills, talents and hardwork open doors for us.


Meanwhile note

it is only a Nigerian girl you will see preparing for marriage and she only has #5k or less in her account.
With a mind blowing milage!!

It is only a Nigerian girl that knows what she deserves, but has 0 account balance, no job and her parents can't even afford to give her what she thinks she deserves.

It is only a Nigerian girl that believe what she deserves should be funded by a man's pocket.

Very delusional lot.




There are bad men and women out there but the choice of a bad wife is a mistake you should avoid at all cost.

Someone they referred to as ANT, is now making Giant strides like ELEPHANT. Happy for you Jenifa, you didn't allow their politics of bitterness and anyhow to stop you. Waiting for their celebration press release. grin grin grin grin grin cry cry cry cry

Funked Akindeles strategy is that whenever she releases movies , she will give false profits, to make people go to watch her movies ...cos when people hear that her movie sold out , they will then go to watch it cos news of high sales will trigger people to go watch it...its a psychological effect ... now if u watch it, u will not see anything special in that movie .. those that will now rush to watch it will now be much , due to the news of false high sales ...that's how they make money off it... Cinema movies are no longer making money... and again, she usually targets festive seasons to reason her movies ... she's a smart business woman

Same thing people said about Tyler Perry and his Madea series.
I share your views as well but like the popular maxim "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
