Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper

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.

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.

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.

I am addicted to this movie and I watch it every day. The cast of this movie was a 100, and the character deliveries were also a 100.

Kunle Remi KR as I fondly call him didn't fail to dissect the character as always and delivered an excellent performance. KR plays any role given to him so well that it's beautiful to watch.

Lolade ogunsanya She is pretty talented and I am amazed by how she played two different characters.

Bimbo Akintola A legend as always and that part where she said "now before your god" omg gave me the chills.

Toyin Abraham She did a pretty good job with the cast the young and old character projection wasn't bad at all.

I wonder how this movie was ever released. The acting is horrible, visuals are appalling. Storyline and overall presentation is extremely disappointing. Netflix should better take this down. The movie makes absolutely no sense at all.

Do not waste your time this, ended up regretting after 2 hrs, expecting some plot twist or for it to pick up. From start to finish, it's not a single bit captivating, lacks any sort of intrigue.

Not sure what the producers were thinking, or was this even screened prior to its release. Hard to believe it is still possible to put out such mediocre content.

All the best if you want to try this.
