Funke Akindele’s ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ Set to Make N5 Billion*

In an industry marked by considerable ambition and creativity, Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has made headlines with her bold projection for her upcoming film, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa.’ Slated for a cinema release this December, Akindele anticipates that her latest venture will generate an impressive N5 billion at the box office.

In a viral video featuring members of the cast, Akindele confidently stated, “We are making N5 billion this year,” highlighting her optimism and enthusiasm for the film. Should the film attain this ambitious financial milestone, it would not only set a new benchmark within the Nigerian film industry but also surpass the record established by her previous film, ‘A Tribe Called Judah,’ which made history as the first Nigerian movie to exceed N1 billion in earnings.

The film had its premiere on Sunday night in Lagos, attracting a host of notable celebrities, including funnyman Eniola Badmus, who has had a complicated relationship with Akindele in the past. The star-studded event has undoubtedly created significant anticipation for the film’s release.

As the release date approaches, the industry eagerly waits to see whether ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ will indeed achieve Akindele’s ambitious projection and continue to push the boundaries of Nigerian cinema.
