Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has estimated that her upcoming movie ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ will make N5 billion when it appears in the cinema this December.

Speaking alongside members of the film’s cast in a widely shared video, Akindele expressed hope that the film will earn N5 billion this year.

“This year, we’re making N5 billion,” she stated.

The film would surpass the record set by another Funke Akindele film, “A Tribe Called Judah,” which became the first Nigerian film to reach one billion naira, if it makes the anticipated amount.

A number of celebrities, including Funke Akindele’s estranged friend Eniola Badmus, attended the Sunday night premiere of “Everybody Loves Jenifa” in Lagos.

The movie star said that Nigerian politicians have embezzled and continue to embezzle billions of Naira from the country’s coffers in a post made through his X Twitter.

“It is painful that some Nigerians have continued to defend the acts of the politicians who do not care about the existence of the masses,” Macaroni said, despite the fact that there are no consequences for the politicians’ actions.

The playwright referred to the theft of public monies as “greed and wickedness” and asked how the nation is meant to improve while its leaders are embezzling money.

“Nigerian politicians have embezzled and continue to embezzle billions and trillions from the country’s coffers,” he said. Even while it is unfortunate that there are no repercussions for these acts, it is heartbreaking that the people whose money is being embezzled still support politicians that don’t give a damn about them.

“How can you easily embezzle enough public cash to improve the lives of millions of people you should be serving without reservation?
What kind of evil and selfishness is this? When our politicians only want to steal, how is the nation meant to improve?

“No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?”

The tracks from Afrobeats artist Wizkid’s latest album “Morayo” are all in the top 17 on Apple Music, shattering previous records.

Less than 10 hours after the album’s release, this accomplishment was made.

His mother, Juliana Morayo Balogun, passed away in August 2023, and the album, which was published today, November 22, 2024, is an homage to her.

No. 4 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and No. 7 on the World Digital Song Sales list were reached with the album’s debut song, “Piece of My Heart.”

One of Morayo’s tunes had 1.57 million Spotify plays on its first day, shattering Nigeria’s streaming records.
