Jenifa’s do-gooding empire collides with a crisis that tests whether the character’s heart can survive her fame, staged at the biggest scale the franchise has attempted.
Two decades in, Akindele still finds fresh notes in the character, and the supporting cast is a who’s who of Nigerian comedy. It broke Tribe’s record because it delivered exactly what its enormous audience came for.
Verdict: Franchise filmmaking, Nigerian style, at its most confident.
