My Personal Opinion about the movie Ijakumo the born again stripper

Ijakumo the born again stripper is a Nigerian movie that tells a very interesting story. But I must warn that this movie should not be seen by those less than 18years.

The first question that drew my attention to see this movie was actually the name of the movie. It is actually an irony to say a born again is a stripper. They are just too opposite extrems. The name aroused my curiosity to see the movie.

The story told in this movie is about two lovers who finally became enemies. The guy was poor and his girlfriend helped changed his life how? Well if you really want to know then you can go and see the movie yourself.

After his life was changed, he poisoned his girlfriend to kill her. He thought he succeeded only for her to appear 20years later seeking revenge. This is a must watch!!

So how does a born again stripper come into the picture? Hahaha I definitely will not tell you but let me just gist you small....

The boy friend became a pastor of a big church but you know because he wasn't genuine he had a secret life of visiting the club and there he met someone, guess who? Meeting the person was the beginning of his down fall. Watch it the movie and tell me who he met.

The movie teaches some lessons and one of it is that greed does not pay. Secondly I leant that biting the finger that fed you is like signing your death warrant. Hmm deep right?

My Personal Rating on the movie Ijakumo the born again stripper

This movie seeks to promote the Youruba culture and language. Thank God I had my translation on while I saw the movie.

I loved the settings of this movie, it's splendor and picture quality. Beautiful customs were used displaying excellence.

Oh my favorite actor in this movie is kunle Remi acting as the Pastor. I loved how he fitted into the character of a pastor. I give him an applause.

Other actors fell into character perfectly using the Yoruba language. So I congratulate Toyin because this is my first time of seeing a movie she owns.

Every part of the movie was so real especially the club scenes..this is why I said the movie is not for those below the age 18.

Even though there were some scenes in this movie that I feel was not necessary but in all I loved the movie. So my rating for this movie will be 8/10. Tell me what you think about my rating. Do you disagree or agree with my rating?
