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.
