Anyways! In Exactly 3 days , TO BE A FRIEND would be back up on the channel BIMBOADEMOYETV… 16th October at exactly 2pm. We watch till we can watch no more.”
“I need all the support I can get guys. I know majority have seen it before, but a rewatch wouldn’t be a bad idea. 😁. It’s very rare that a re-upload gets lots of views, but I’m trusting God and you guys to do the magic! Until then, I’d do the best I can to push it for the next 3 days. Thank you and God bless you .”
The movie stars Bimbo Ademoye, Uzor Arukwe, Deyemi Okanlawon, and Kunle Remi, and was directed by Great Val Edochie.
She also shared advice for fellow filmmakers, “Just because they slide into your dm asking for help doesn’t mean you should help them, some people are born evil and would do anything to reap where they didn’t sow”.
