Speaking at a recent Exhibitor Soirée, Akindele expressed her confidence in the movie’s potential, stating, “We can beat N5 billion; I have faith.” The actress also urged the audience to combat piracy, which she said had impacted her previous film, “A Tribe Called Judah”.

“I plead with you guys; I know things are hard now but I want to beg you to be security conscious. People use their phones to film. Remember what happened to us last year, with ‘A Tribe Called Judah’? Please let’s be very careful, let’s be vigilant. It’s our movie. We want to make money from it. Imagine what we would have made if ‘A Tribe called Judah’ wasn’t pirated. But we thank God. This is another opportunity, please protect this film for me. Please I beg you in the name of God, no phones. We had to record a video to tell people, no recordings,” she said.

The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Akindele herself as Jenifa, Folarin ‘Falz’ Falana as Sege, and other notable actors like Jackie Appiah, Nancy Isime, and Patience Ozokwor. With its star-studded cast and Akindele’s proven track record of success, “Everybody Loves Jenifa” is poised to be a box office hit.
