                     YEWANDE ADEKOYA:  NIGERIA'S NEXT FUNKE AKINDELE ?

Yewande, CEO EDNAWAY PRODUCTIONS

I am really not a big fan of yoruba movies because i have a feeling watching them will make me razzer than i already am, as i am easily influenced by words in movies. After watching the movie Jenifer , i could barely speak English for a few weeks and always ending all my sentences with 'you know , as in , is like', it was a very terrible time for me! but guess what ? i still went on watching Jenifer over and over again and i cant wait for Jenifer 3 to be out and am sure this time my sentences will end with 'looks , we are flying on a fast tracks'.
With her hit movie IGBO DUDU , i began to wonder whether Yewande could steal everyone's attention just like Funke Akindele after her hit movie Jennifer. Yewande is one producer whose movies i always love to watch,. She started with life secret, a drama series which i tune in to watch at work (Ministry of health) while i was serving my country, and as a corper there was nothing else to do than gist with the old women at work. so it went like this: we ate moi moi and we watched life secret! all of us glued to the TV and the women raining curses on the man that always cheated on his wife and of cause the women would relate it to true life experiences and before you know it , its 4pm and we back our empty bowls of moi moi and head home. Life secret made our day. it was an amazing time in my life! but now i am so fabulous i cant even say moi moi!
In June , she released a new movie IGBO DUDU, one word A M A Z I N G. the movie is so cool, loads of strong yoruba words but the film in simple sentence 'makes sense'.

Igbo dudu, a movie about a man with two wives who got pregnant at the same time , one destined to be far greater than the other and of course jealously comes in with the wives wondering whose child it is gonna be , dnt let me spoil the fun! you have to grab a copy and watch what happens! you wnt regret it. 

I heard she is working on a new movie omo elemuso and i have been searching and searching for the trailer of the movie! and i found something

So what do you think ? is Yewande going to be the next best thing in Nigeria's movie industry ? i would defo say a big YES. Although , my season of moi moi and cashews are over , my season of cavir and chicken salads just started and what better way to feed your eyes than with a Yewande Adekoya movie.
