Funke Akindele To Direct Her First Movie On EbonyLife Film’s “Your Excellency”
Funke Akindele-Bello has become one of the most formidable female forces in the Nigerian movie scene owing to the raging success of her decade-long franchise – “Jenifa”.
The talented actress has now joined forces with entertainment empire, EbonyLife, for her directorial debut in an upcoming movie titled – “Your Excellency”.
“Your Excellency” tells the story of Chief Olalekan Ajadi, a bubbling billionaire businessman and failed presidential candidate, who is obsessed with Donald Trump. Just when his campaign looks set to be another disaster, Ajadi is anointed by a major party and becomes a credible contender – all through the power of social media.
The movie features a star-studded cast including Lala Akindoju, Eku Edewor, Alexx Ekubo, Osas Ighodaro-Ajibade, Ini Dima-Okojie, Deyemi Okanlawon, Chigul and Helen Paul.
Given that Nigeria is packed full of men like this, the movie is sure to be one to watch out for.
