LDecember is shaping up to be an unforgettable month for Nollywood fans as Funke Akindele, one of the industry’s most celebrated filmmakers, prepares to premiere her latest movie, Everybody Loves Jenifa, on December 13.

Known for her captivating storytelling and memorable characters, Akindele is once again set to make waves in the cinema, and all eyes are on her to see if she can recreate the magic that has made her a household name.

As the excitement builds up, fans are eager to witness the return of one of Nollywood’s personalities to the big screen.

The movie, which boasts a star-studded cast, features a dynamic ensemble of talent, including Nancy Isime, Patience Ozokwor, Layi Wasabi, Stan Nze, Chimezie Imo, Omowumi Dada, and the multi-talented Falz the Bad Guy, among others.

With such a diverse and talented group of actors, Everybody Loves Jenifa promises to be a cinematic experience like no other.

Akindele, renowned for assembling exceptional casts, has made every effort to distinguish this film as a must-see for cinema enthusiasts.

The Nigerian movie industry will face intense competition in December 2024.

As Akindele gears up for her premiere, her closest industry rivals—Toyin Abraham and Mercy Aigbe—are also making strategic moves to capture the spotlight with their own movie releases.

Much like last year, when these three leading ladies dominated the Nollywood scene with their respective hits, this season promises another fierce showdown for box office supremacy.

In 2023, Abraham and Aigbe’s successes closely followed Akindele’s historic film A Tribe Called Judah, which made over 1 billion naira at the box office.

As December approaches, the rivalry between these Nollywood giants continues to captivate fans, who eagerly await the next chapter in this ongoing competition.

For Everybody Loves Jenifa, Akindele has once again put together an exceptional cast to deliver a memorable story that resonates with audiences.

“With a cast like this, anything is possible,” Akindele shared in a recent statement, emphasizing her excitement about the movie’s potential to connect with people from all walks of life.

The movie’s title alone suggests a return to the signature charm and humour of Akindele’s Jenifa character—a role that has become synonymous with fun, wit, and sharp social commentary.

As the competition heats up, fans on social media are already rallying behind their favourite actresses, pledging to support the film and share their excitement.

The energy surrounding these releases highlights just how much influence these Nollywood stars have on the entertainment landscape.

With December shaping up to be an epic month for Nigerian cinema, Everybody Loves Jenifa stands poised to add another milestone to Akindele’s already illustrious career.
