Naija films are going global

Naija films are going global

This particular woman is a superwoman who never rest on her past laurels.


Super hard working and always ready to be better than yesterday. Breaking and setting all sorts of records isn't really a surprise.

Nice move. Congratulations to Funke Akindele and her crew on this fine project though locally made but already breaking mighty records.


But, I'ma stick with Hollywood until these Nollywood people learn to up their game, The New movie featuring,King Bach, titled Greenland,is a bomb. Waiting for Coming To America 2,by March,If I don't see Davido in that movie as he said, his going one follower down,and I'm giving up on all Naija entertainment.

YoungboyNBA is a blast.

Omo ghetto was an awesome movie....My favourite scene was when the twin sister of "lefty" was asking of her from broda shaggi...shaggi na real mad man....AY killed that part too

Lefty...I ll wait for alaba's copies

Funk Akindele remains my number one actress in Nigeria.

She's very funny, hardworking and remains the few legit actresses in Nigeria for me.

Very talented! Her combo with Mr Ibu in the movie "Sherikoko" and with Aki/PawPaw in "The Fighter" made me like her.

We've not even talked about her "Jennifer's diary" show. Babe is too good abeg!

I can't wait to watch the movie. Imagin Funke and Zubby in the same movie.

Very nice to hear that

Patience pays

Nigerian movies will never use new faces, just keep recycling same individuals

Congrats ... make unah open road so we go fit pass .

God bless funke her head is dia

Zubby Michael really had a great year last year..

What's the record?

Breaks Record abi Sets record..... Olodo oshi #punIntended


Meanwhile Nairaland really need to diversify their front page by sending posts submitted by other bloggers to FP..... No be everytime igbe tv reports.

Ok,now we can comfortably travel to Dubai without visa.

Who cares...has that changed funke akindele's name from omo jatijati who loved money more than her beloved father who made her what she is today by staying absent from his burial and staying put in dubai, running after money in the name of hard work just to pilfer gullible youths money by watching her fake comic movies?

She should go and learn from the likes of Joke silva who's an epitome of womanhood in the Nigerian movie industry today. Can the corporate world make her their ambassadors again after losing the deal on Dettol Covid-19 ambassadorial contract ever again? I hate it when someone doesn't practice what he or she preaches and that's funke for you for those who don't know her....and some people would still see her as their mentor. Mentor alaigboran, Shioor!

Let her shoot the move in the moon for all I care. The mumus would still go for it.

Naija youths, stop celebrating madness from this year-on.

Big win for funke and jjc

Shey I no o go cinema go watch this film so... the hype eh

I hope it will be interesting

Good.
