September 12, (THEWILL) – Iyabo Ojo, Nigerian actress, has berated fellow colleague, Funke Akindele, for allegedly paying a review platform to discredit a new movie by Toyin Abraham.
Abraham recently put out ‘The Ghost and the Tout Too’, her much-awaited project, featuring several movie stars like Mercy Johnson
However, on Friday, CinemaPointer, a platform that specialises in reviewing movies, ranked Akindele’s ‘Omo Ghetto: The Saga’ above Abraham’s new film.
The platform described Abraham’s movie as “a haplessly brain-dead story” and alleged that the film star copied Akindele’s concept in the ‘Omo Ghetto’ sequel.
“Not recommended for intelligent people. Over the years, we have told you many truths but none greater than this: Intelligent minds were not taken into consideration at all in the writing and in the making of ‘Ghost and The Tout Too’. Thusly, intelligent minds will not enjoy it at all,” it wrote in its review of Abraham’s movie.
“Regardless of how flagrantly it copycats off ‘Ómó Ghetto: The Saga’ desperately hoping to shine like it. Unlike that one ‘The Ghost and The Tout Too’ doesn’t understand that movie-making is rooted in brain-work and not in using cinema to do ‘Yahoo’, abusing stardoms to fleece fandoms.
“Sadly, in ‘The Ghost and The Tout Too’, celebrity after celebrity only lead to leprotic performance after leprotic performance.
“As a haplessly brain-dead story leads to pointless scene after pointless scene, all soaked together in a deluge of sterile dialogue. So much so that trying to find any mirth seeing it would be an exercise in futility.
“Trust us, if you are intelligent, you are better off staying back home this weekend to watch ‘Ómó Ghetto: The Saga’ which incidentally opens on Netflix this Friday, 10th of September 2021. If not, brain go pain you tire.”
Reacting in the post’s comment section, Ojo berated Akindele for allegedly sponsoring the review.
The actress also called out the platform for its review of Abraham’s movie, saying its alleged attempts to discredit her colleague’s work will not succeed.
“How much did Funke pay you to write this rubbish, the day she begins to find ways not to talk bad about her fellow colleagues or try to discredit their hardwork or personality that day she will begin to experience inner peace,” she wrote.
“Na social media you go dey form better person. I know you and you know me, we know ourselves wella and you@cinemapointer go back and tell your sender that no matter how many times you try to pull Toyin down of discredit her works, it won’t work.
“Toyin’s hardwork and movie ‘Ghost and The Tout Too’ will make box office and your blood gonna dry from hate and jealousy…I said what I said messenger of doom.”
