I am not ashamed to say we have produced the biggest Yoruba film- Eniola Ajao
Nollywood actress and producer, Eniola Ajao has concluded work on what has been described as the biggest Yoruba movie ever made.
The epic movie titled, Ajakaju (Beast of Two Worlds), was directed by highly respected directors, Adebayo Tijani and Odunlade Adekola. And shot for more than three weeks.
Shot in Oyo State, Beast of Two Worlds feature notable actors such as Bimbo Akintola, Sola Sobowale, Odunlade Adekola, Lateef Adedimeji, Faithia Williams, Mercy Aigbe, Eniola Ajao herself, Ibraheem Chatta and many others.
Beast of Two Worlds’ is the story of a powerful lady, Ajalara, who is both human and an animal. She bestrode the forest at night, making lives difficult for hunters, killing and maiming some of them. She destroys crops and cripples the economy of the town.
The king, Towobola went into the forest to confront Ajalara, after an epic battle, the king and Ajalara reached a part to marry each other with the hope that Ajalara would bear male children as all kids borne for the kings are females.
True to hope, Ajalara gave birth to a son but threw the boy, who is now the hope of continuation of the lineage of the king into fire.
The move led to twists and turns that made the plots of the movie entertaining, daring and suspense-filled.
Shot by Idowu Adedapo, the man who shot Wedding Party, King of Boys (1), Chief Daddy, Dear Affy, Oloture, and many other notable movies.
Speaking of the movie, Eniola said she has pushed the envelope and walked the path of greatness as the Yoruba part of the industry should also be known for great projects.
‘I dared to dream, I wanted our industry to sit among the elites in Nollywood.
We should not be known for only small budget movies and small-productions.
We have done a bigger production that can sit on the same tables with some of the best works ever produced from any part of Nollywood.
We raised the bar, told a story that is daring and put a noticeable mark on the Nollywood map.
People will like this movie, they will be proud of Nollywood as we did not hold anything back. We didn’t leave any stone unturned’ she said.
Faithia Williams, one of the cast said “working on Ajakaju is one of the best experiences and indeed a film everyone needs to see”.
Working amidst professionals who are very keen to deliver perfection and excellence made the work so enjoyable.
Starting from the director, DOP, production management team, light guys and other departments gave their all.
This movie has totally changed the narrative of Yoruba movies in the industry’.
Ajakaju will be showing soon in all cinemas nationwide.

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK-Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
