Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper

Casting was excellent. Sharon and her "Idi Uganda" killed her role. Kunle Remi played the fake pastor perfectly. The young Asabi (Debbie Shokoya) was a delight to watch, the way she delivered her lines was extraordinary. I love the exhibition of Senior Yoruba Nollywood actors and actresses in the film. Antar Laniyan, Alapini Osa, Madam Saje, Lalude etc. The traditional settings were just pure brilliance.

And yes, there is hardly anything to see in modern Nollywood stories. Most themes have been explored over and over. A jilted lover seeking revenge is particularly well worn. However, the execution of the story by Toyin Abraham (popularly called Iya Bola by my kids) is just brilliant and keep you watching till the end.

The movie streamed multiple times in my home during the Ileya Holiday, everyone simply wanted to see Ijakumo. Kudos to the team, great work.

If you have not seen it, you are missing greatly. This is an A-Film. Thanks to Toyin for such a great work.

First off, this movie was horri*ble to see. Too many storylines pieced up into one, leaving it difficult to understand. I doubt if anyone will rate this movie above a 3. The start of the movie showed it was going to be an African epic story about Asabi, also about her father and his traditional charms. Then, it could have also been a story about a church used for money laundering which could have been good, but it wasn't. They introduced a story about organ harvesting which could also have made so much sense, (why did that Igbo man go to Abeokuta ? Totally unrelated) . Then the confusing and unconvincing story about the stripper/chorister. There was just so much happening and the end, the fight scenes and display of extraterrestrial powers were so unimaginable. The scene with the hacker? Lmao. A supposed hacker for one with witch powers? Please. Sadly IMDb doesn't rate 0 because that is what it deserves.

Great movie 👍, I enjoyed every bit of it, and Asabi is so powerful and commands respect and I loved how she go hers. The characters are very good in their rolls, and I enjoyed them all, and especially Asabi, as she was so sexy with all her powers. I can't wait to see further endeavors in the future. I'm sure the next movie will be just as great. They seem to know just who to pick for cast. I'd like to see more of these characters maybe in a follow up and see what happened after the these events. I'd like to see more of Asabi as she's my favorite character, and that handsome preacher, and see what happened after. I look forward to more.

So much money spent on a story and it's execution just to openly bash the Christian faith and uplift the traditional idolatrous worship of the Ifa god. Christians are painted as gullible and clerics and music ministers are painted as deceivers and hypocrites.

I am Yoruba. The writers need to be properly educated as to what culture means in the 21st century. Culture covers food, clothing, architecture, entertainment, occupation, behavioral beliefs and attitude. Religious beliefs are now largely a personal thing and not necessarily a reflection of culture. YORUBAS ARE NOT IFA WORSHIPPERS as the movie supposes the worship of the idol Ifa is an element of culture that we are proud of.

Well for me I would say this movie is Lovely it tell us that the evil can't go unpunished and we should stop deceiving people because it easy for people to fall for a trap,we should be good don't trust someone with all ur heart ,they may not like u and pretend to like you the enemy in disguise we should just be careful because at the end we would be left alone of course yes so I would just have to say thank you and well done ma'am keep on the good job Toyin Abraham I wasn't expecting the movie to be this great but it turned out very prefect and most times our loved ones have to carry our cross.
